The weather was hot, and her costume appeared to me to consist simply of a somewhat dirty cotton dressing- gown. How was I, then, a stranger in Russia, seek- ing to secure some of her Sevres cups, to know with whom I had the honour of discussing the merits and value of her ceramic treasures ? So, silently, I examined and appraised those set before my longing eyes, wondering how the lady, as I had been told she was, should have had such good taste and know- ledge as to gather them together, and ...such bad taste as to present herself in that dirty and discoloured dress in the presence of visitors. Here and there I selected some choice specimen which I was desirous to purchase, but which, for the most part, she de- clined to sell. At length, wearied by her continued refusals and constant chatter, I seized on two charm- ST. PETMBSBURG. 83 ing cups, and, without further comment, placed golden sovereigns by their side. She clutched the coins, and I thought the battle won ; but then ap- pealing to my companion in the Kussian tongue (unknown to me) she replaced the money on the table.
