Suddenly the window opened and a grim
cold east wind blew in their necks.
Who came in? ... Fluffy, Tatyana's huge
cat. With a bang Pavel closed the window,
While Fluffy probably rather had raced
out again. Not that Fluffy didn't like
Nick Cave's music. Maybe he just came
in for that. But all the chairs were
occupied. There were simply too many
people. No other option but to nestle
himself on the mattress next to Marfa
Babinskaya. On the spot Alyosha started
nagging him. Singing not unlike Nick ...
"Who'll build a box for black Fluffy"
Hey Sluffy ... kisa, kisa, kisa ... don't look
so skittish. Tatyana really was a woman
for such a cat. Long black hair, a small
black headscarf with silver coins and
large plexiglass earrings. The whole
room breathed that atmosphere.
Queen Anne table ...
embroidered silk dressing gown on a
hanger on the wall, painted egg in
a glass display ... those kind of things.
