Reading notes
- A Failure of Compensation §30 Bitny-Kushle-Suvremovich
A stout, gregarious engineer among the summer visitors at the station, introduced two sentences earlier as having an ungainly, triple surname. The name is the joke, and Yanshin remembers it only because the man is fond of swearing by it.
