Chapter Six

He would frequent him with pleasure, and therefore was not at all surprised at morn 8 when he saw him; the latter, after the first greeting, interrupting the started conversation, with eyes atwinkle, to Onegin 12 handed a billet from the poet. Onegin went up to the window and read it to himself.
