title: The Lady with the Lapdog
abstract: They said someone new had appeared on the wharf, a lady with a lapdog. Dmitry Dmitrych Gurov, after living in Yalta for two weeks and accustomed to the local ways, was one of those who took an interest in new faces. Sitting in Vernet's cafe, he watched as a young woman strolled along the wharf—a slight blonde in a beret, a white Pomeranian scurrying behind her.
