Description

Drawings do not always succeed the first time. This reworked version, I hope it's more successful.

***

Styopa unstuck his glued eyelids and saw himself reflected in the pierglass as a man with hair sticking out in all directions, with a bloated physiognomy
covered with black stubble, with puffy eyes, a dirty shirt, collar and necktie, in drawers and socks.

So he saw himself in the pier-glass, and next to the mirror he saw an unknown man, dressed in black and wearing a black beret.

Styopa sat up in bed and goggled his bloodshot eyes as well as he could at the unknown man. The silence was broken by this unknown man, who
said in a low, heavy voice, and with a foreign accent, the following words:
‘Good morning, my most sympathetic Stepan Bogdanovich!’

There was a pause, after which, making a most terrible strain on himself, Styopa uttered:

‘What can I do for you?’ - and was amazed, not recognizing his own voice.

He spoke the word ‘what’ in a treble, ‘can I’ in a bass, and his ‘do for you’ did not come off at all.

The stranger smiled amicably, took out a big gold watch with a diamond triangle on the lid, rang eleven times, and said:
‘Eleven. And for exactly an hour I’ve been waiting for you to wake up, since you made an appointment for me to come to your place at ten. Here
I am!’
