"i, and burdovsky, and kostia lebedeff. keller stayed a little while, and then went over to lebedeff’s to sleep. ferdishenko slept at lebedeff’s, too; but he went away at seven o’clock. my father is always at lebedeff’s; but he has gone out just now. i dare say lebedeff will be coming in here directly; he has been looking for you; i don’t know what he wants. shall we let him in or not, if you are asleep? i’m going to have a nap, too. by-the-by, such a curious thing happened. burdovsky woke me at seven, and i met my father just outside the room, so drunk, he didn’t even know me. he stood before me like a log, and when he recovered himself, asked hurriedly how hippolyte was. ‘yes,’ he said, when i told him, ‘that’s all very well, but i really came to warn you that you must be very careful what you say before ferdishenko.’ do you follow me, prince?"
