Strona 733 z 2288

Towards the end of May, when everything had been more or less

satisfactorily arranged, she received her husband's answer to her

complaints of the disorganized state of things in the country. He

wrote begging her forgiveness for not having thought of

everything before, and promised to come down at the first chance.

This chance did not present itself, and till the beginning of

June Darya Alexandrovna stayed alone in the country.
