What is strange about the letter Olenka received announcing Kukin's death
The telegram had misspelled words and was signed by the manager of the opera company.
"Ivan Petrovich died suddenly today. Awaiting propt orders for wuneral Tuesday."
That was the way the telegram was written—"wuneral"—and another unintelligible word—"propt." The telegram was signed by the manager of the opera company.
"My dearest!" Olenka burst out sobbing. "Vanichka, my dearest, my sweetheart. Why did I ever meet you? Why did I ever get to know you and love you? To whom have you abandoned your poor Olenka, your poor, unhappy Olenka?"
