"i did not rise from my bed, and i don’t know how long i lay with my eyes open, thinking. i don’t know what i thought about, nor how i fell asleep or became insensible; but i awoke next morning after nine o’clock when they knocked at my door. my general orders are that if i don’t open the door and call, by nine o’clock, matreona is to come and bring my tea. when i now opened the door to her, the thought suddenly struck me how could he have come in, since the door was locked? i made inquiries and found that rogojin himself could not possibly have come in, because all our doors were locked for the night.
