14–20 July 1856

Sat at home. Did nothing.

Again I don’t remember anything.

It’s raining. Have been to Brant’s. In- vented a fantastic tale.

The Chasseur officers came. I was foolish enough to give them champagne.

Wrote a little of the fantastic tale and was at home all day.

Wrote a little of the fantastic tale. It is one o’clock now and I am going to the Arsinevs’. Misha has come.

The Ars^nevs and Serezha came here. Did nothing.
