Stories and Tales 1897–1903. Volume 22

— I came to you so that my soul would feel lighter. I am unbearably heavy. Some kind of spiteful, sharp-tongued writer portrayed me and another person—very dear to both of us—in a comic light. I think it is necessary to assure you: I have absolutely nothing to do with it... I gave no reason for such mockery; on the contrary—I have always behaved like a thoroughly decent person.
