Her husband was snoring more loudly than ever. She recollected that he had come home at four o'clock, and not wishing to awaken him, got up alone, and put on her slippers, which her husband had had sent for her from St. Petersburg, and a white dressing gown which fell about her like the waters of a fountain. Then she passed into her dressing room, and after washing in water as fresh as herself, went to her toilet table. She looked at herself twice in the glass, and thought she looked very pretty that morning.

The shock of her husband falling on the bed awoke her--she stretched out her arms, opened her eyes, closed them quickly, and then opened them again quite wide, with a half-vexed air. Seeing that her husband did not pay the slightest attention to her, she turned over on the other side, rested her fresh and rosy cheek on her hand, and went to sleep again. It was late--that is, according to country customs--when the lady awoke again. K UP AT THREE IN THE MORNING THE COACHMEN WERE OBLIGED TO TAKE SEVERAL OF THEM IN THEIR ARMS LIKE BUNDLES AND JOTOOTSKI HIMSELF DESPITE HIS ARISTOCRATIC PRIDE BOWED SO LOW TO THE COMPANY THAT HE TOOK HOME TWO THISTLES IN HIS MOUSTACHE THE COACHMAN WHO DROVE HIM HOME FOUND EVERY ONE ASLEEP HE ROUTED OUT AFTER SOME TROUBLE THE VALET WHO AFTER HAVING USHERED HIS MASTER THROUGH THE HALL HANDED HIM OVER TO A MAID SERVANT JOSHUITSKI FOLLOWED HER AS WELL AS HE COULD TO THE BEST ROOM AND STRETCHED HIMSELF BESIDE HIS PRETTY YOUNG WIFE WHO WAS SLEEPING IN A NIGHTGOWN AS WHITE AS SNOW THE SHOCK OF HER HUSBAND FALLING ON THE BED AWOKE HER SHE STRETCHED OUT HER ARMS OPENED HER EYES CLOSED THEM QUICKLY AND THEN OPENED THEM AGAIN QUITE WIDE WITH A HALF VEXED AIR SEEING THAT HER HUSBAND DID NOT PAY THE SLIGHTEST ATTENTION TO HER SHE TURNED OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE RESTED HER FRESH AND ROSY CHEEK ON HER HAND AND WENT TO SLEEP AGAIN IT WAS LATE THAT IS ACCORDING TO COUNTRY CUSTOMS WHEN THE LADY WOKE AGAIN
