November 8^th

I went to the theatre today. The play was about the Russian fool. I couldn’t stop laughing. I love going to the theatre. As long as I’ve a kopeck in my pocket you can’t stop me. But these civil servants of ours are such ignorant pigs, you’d never catch those peasants going, even if you gave them a ticket for nothing. One of the actresses sang very well. She reminded me of ... ah!

I’m a shocker! ... Sielence
