Evening Moscow has done still better—it reports the birth of a baby who plays the violin. This is illustrated by a drawing of a violin and my photograph, with the legend, “Prof. Preobrazhensky, who performed the caesarian operation on the mother.” It’s indescribable. . . . He says a new word, “militiaman.” It turns out that Darya Petrovna was in love with me and swiped my photograph from Philip Philippovich’s album. After I turned out the reporters, one of them got into the kitchen, etc. . .
