In the summer, the grove next to your dacha became a wonderful place to relax. A pleasant walk under an umbrella always lifts your spirits, especially in the light morning coolness.

"Ah, my dear! What an amazing meeting! I was just thinking about you this week. May I take you to your estate?"

Your dacha neighbor, Nikolai Gogol, a famous young man, dandy and noble duelist, appears surprisingly quietly behind you.

He extends his gloved hand, offering his assistance on the walk.
