Nobody get offended!

Kiss @mendyson , we are acquainted enough; marry @chopinski-official as after all we already lived together a long while; kill... Without any hatred, @tchaikovsky-piotr ... Might it be that he would wish for it anyway?

[tchaikovsky-pyotr]

I would wish for it, you say?!!? Mr. Liszt, for that is a such crude remark. You.. you don’t know anything of it at all!!! I —

О нет, мне не следует больше ничего говорить... for if the Tsar finds me here, maybe he will exile me..

Hallo! Passing by to deliver a bouquet of begonias to a certain fellow who charmed me with his music 💐 Good day to you, sir!
