midnight
auntie , I will have cream with my tea ... . Is there any cream ? '' '' _ So schweige doch _ , '' answered the aunt . Kuzma Vassilyevitch stayed at Madame Fritsche 's till midnight . He had not spent such a pleasant evening since his arrival at Nikolaev . It is true that it occurred to him that it was not seemly for an officer and a gentleman to be associating with such persons as this native of Riga and her auntie , but Emilie was so pretty , babbled so amusingly and bestowed such friendly looks upon him , that he dismissed his rank and family and made up his mind for once to enjoy himself . Only one circumstance disturbed him and left an impression that was not quite agreeable .
