- Are the Russians really such a gloomy people?
- Gloom-loving, but not in the least gloomy. They merely take their sadness pleasurably. Just as we are accused of taking our pleasures sadly.

- Неужели русские и в самом деле такой мрачный народ?
- Отнюдь нет, просто им нравится мрачная атмосфера. Они наслаждаются своей тоской, тогда как мы [англичане] грустим, наслаждаясь.
