Chapter XXXVII
In the morning about ten o'clock I wish to fly to Eva; but I cannot, for I have guests. Baron Kartofler comes and engages a duplicate of my "Jews." He offers me fifteen hundred rubles; I want two thousand. The bargain is made at that price. After his departure I receive an order for two portraits from Tanzenberg.
