The next time I called at the Consistory with my wife and Father<br />
Ptashchuk on Friday, at 2 o'clock <strong>in</strong>stead of 3, and asked to be<br />
announced to Platon or Alexander. We were told to wait. We waited<br />
until 3:30 then asked once more to be announced. The buder, on<br />
return<strong>in</strong>g from the Bishop's apartments, delivered this message :<br />
"The<br />
Master asks you to call to-morrow, because Father Richlov is not<br />
here, anr consequently you can get no audience." In spite of this<br />
answer, I asked my wife and Father Ptashchuk to wait with me. Soon<br />
Alexander appeared, accompanied by a priest. I asked for his bless<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Hav<strong>in</strong>g noticed me, Alexander appeared frightened and jumped back.<br />
"Give me your bless<strong>in</strong>g," I asked, to which he shouted <strong>in</strong> reply : "Go<br />
to the devil! No bless<strong>in</strong>g for you !" and then added : "I have already<br />
sent word to you that Father Richlov is not here to-day, consequently,<br />
we cannot receive you. Call to-morrow. I have not and am not go<strong>in</strong>g<br />
to announce you to Metropolitan Platon. If you don't like the Book<br />
of Gospels, you may leave it here." I had hardly time to open<br />
my mouth, when he left the room.<br />
