Explore "The Provincial Lady in Russia" by E.M. Delafield on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
At eleven o'clock at night an American acquaintance of Peter's appears and suggests taking us to pay a call on a man who writes books--a Russian. He has said that he will be at home between twelve and one.
He isn't, and we all settle down in his kitchen--situated on the staircase, and which he shares with five other families in the same building--and wait for his arrival.
