There are rumors of a library as well. But most of its texts are in Russian, and the proprietress seems reluctant to translate more than tiny bits, muttering something about the Great Game’s foreign agents and their little secrets. Although everyone knows that she simply is too unconfident and too busy. (Too busy scribbling nonsensical ravings all over the walls of her room at the Royal Beth, to be exact. One shouldn’t look so closely at what Is Not.)

"No, no. I won’t go there. Supporters of the Liberation will shower me in congratulations, and I can’t stand them."

Thanks <3
(As for the first, yes rather than no. As for the second… well, if there’s a suspicion that I may have a weakness for certain characters, don’t believe this preposterous slander. It’s not a weakness, it’s a full-blown infatuation.)
"How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?" "…" "I see. Mixing absinthe with prisoner’s honey again, aren’t we? Sorry, dear, you won’t be leaving anytime soon. Enjoy your stay."
(Repeat ad infinitum.)
