Excerpt from Playthings and Parodies This is not a tale. It is a conversation which I had with a complete stranger. If you ask me why I talked to him, I have no very good reason to give. I would simply tell you to spend three hours of solitude in that same compartment on that same line. You may not know the line, which is neither your loss nor the company's gain. I do, and I had spent three hours alone on it. And at the end of three hours I longed for human converse. I was prepared to talk Persian poetry to an assistant commissioner, I was ready to talk to anyone about anything, I would have talked to a pariah dog, talked kindly, too. So when the complete stranger got in I began at once. You see, I did not know then that he was an inaccurate young man.
