Thank Mademoiselle [sibyl] Sanderson for me, convey to her my sincere regrets. These ladies will understand, I'm sure, that it is not without reason that I deprive myself of this pleasure. As for the date of the performance, I swear to you, I play feet, hands, heads, shoulders, and especially tongue to delay them.

Vox clamantis in deserto [the voice of the one crying in the desert] don't pay attention, it's Russian! All these gentlemen say we'll be ready then! Thank you for your good hospitality, that's very kind of you! Another thousand regrets for tomorrow night, and a thousand sincere compliments.
