Explore "Uncle's Dream" by Fyodor Dostoevsky on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Zenaida, or Zina Afanassievna, was an individual of an extremely romantic turn of mind.
I don't know whether it really was that she had read too much of "that fool Shakespeare," with her "little tutor fellow," as Maria Alexandrovna insisted; but, at all events she was very romantic. However, never, in all her experience of Mordasoff life, had Zina before made such an ultra-romantic, or perhaps I might call it _heroic_, display as on the occasion of the sally which I am now about to describe.
