photographs, of course) along the walls of the staircase leading to the first floor. On the door of the first room on the upper storey was a large notice : Angling and Weekend Cottages , with a picture of a carp caught on a hook. On the door of the

second room was a slightly confusing notice: Writers day-return rail warrants. Apply to M.V. Podlozhnaya. The next door bore a brief and completely incomprehensible legend: Perelygino. From there the chance visitors eye would be caught by countless more notices pinned to the aunts walnut doors : Waiting List for Paper--Apply to Poklevkina ; Cashiers Office ; Sketch-Writers : Personal Accounts . . . At the head of the longest queue, which started downstairs at the porters desk, was a door under constant siege

labelled Housing Problem. Past the housing problem hung a gorgeous poster showing a cliff, along whose summit rode a man on a chestnut horse with a rifle slung over his shoulder. Below were some palm-trees and a balcony. On it sat a shock-haired young man gazing upwards with a 1936 case key leather bold, urgent look and holding a fountain pen in his hands. The wording read : All-in Writing Holidays, from two weeks (short story, novella) to one year (novel, trilogy): Yalta, Suuk-Su, Borovoye, Tsikhidziri, Makhinjauri, Leningrad (Winter Palace). There was a queue at this 1936 case key leather door too, but not an excessively long one--only about a hundred and fifty people. Following the erratic twists, the steps up and steps down of Griboyedovs corridors, one found other notices : MASSOLIT-Management, Cashiers Nos. 2, 5, 4, 5, Editorial Board, MASSOLIT-Chairman, Billiard Room, then various subsidiary organisations and finally that colonnaded salon where the aunt had listened with such delight to the readings of his comedy by her 1936 case key leather brilliant nephew. Every visitor to Griboyedov, unless of course he were completely insensitive, was made immediately aware of how good life was for the lucky members of MASSOLIT and he would at once be consumed with black envy. At once, too, he would

curse heaven for having failed to endow him at birth with literary talent, without which, of course, no one could so much as dream of acquiring a MASSOLIT membership card--that brown card known to all Moscow, smelling of expensive leather and embellished with a wide gold border. Who is prepared to say a word in defence of envy? It is a despicable emotion, but put yourself in the visitors place : what he had seen on the upper fl was by no means all. The entire ground floor of the aunts house was occupied by a restaurant-- and what a restaurant! It was rightly considered the best in Moscow. Not only because it occupied two large rooms with vaulted ceilings and lilac-painted horses with flowing manes, not only because every table had a lamp shaded with 1936 case key leather lace, not only because it was barred to the hoi polloi, but above all for the quality of its food. Griboyedov could beat any restaurant in Moscow you cared to name and its prices were extremely moderate. There is therefore nothing 1936 case key leather odd in the conversation which the author of these lines actually overheard once outside the iron railings of Griboyedov : Where are you dining today, Ambrose? What a question! Here, of course, Vanya! Archibald Archibaldovich whispered to me this morning that theres filets de perche an naturel on the 1936 case key leather menu tonight. Sheer virtuosity! Two blocks west of the Chat, in a teashop called the Jarre de The, Case washed down the nights first pill with a double espresso. It was a flat pink octagon, a potent species of Brazilian dex he bought from one of Zones girls. The Jarre was 1936 case key leather walled with mirrors, each panel framed in red neon. At first, finding himself alone in Chiba, with little money and less hope of finding a cure, hed gone into a kind of terminal overdrive, hustling fresh capital with a cold intensity that had seemed to belong to someone else. In the first month, hed killed two men and a woman over sums that a year before would have seemed ludicrous. Ninsei wore him down until the street itself came to seem the externalization of some death wish, some secret poison he hadnt known he carried. Night City was like a deranged 1936 case key leather experiment in social Darwinism, designed by a bored researcher who kept one thumb permanently on the fast-forward button. Stop hustling and you sank without a trace, but move a little too swiftly and youd break the fragile surface tension of the black 1936 case key leather market; either way, you were gone, with nothing left of you but some vague memory in the mind of a fixture like Ratz, though heart or lungs or kidneys might survive in the service of some stranger with New Yen for the clinic tanks.
