"excuse me two words! i am varvara ardalionovna’s guest, not yours; you have extended no hospitality to me. on the contrary, if i am not mistaken, i believe you are yourself indebted to mr. ptitsin’s hospitality. four days ago i begged my mother to come down here and find lodgings, because i certainly do feel better here, though i am not fat, nor have i ceased to cough. i am today informed that my room is ready for me; therefore, having thanked your sister and mother for their kindness to me, i intend to leave the house this evening. i beg your pardon i interrupted you i think you were about to add something?"
