person
Golokhvastova
also: Голохвастову, Голохвастова
A Moscow-circle acquaintance whom Chekhov, in a mock-violent joke, tells Kiseleva to "shoot" alongside Ekaterina Vasilyevna in his closing greetings; grammatically a distinct (female) surname from the unrelated (a justice of the peace near Voskresensk) and (a writer named in an earlier letter); her identity is not otherwise recovered in the corpus as currently built.
Reading notes
- To M. V. Kiseleva, 11 March 1891. Moscow. §4 Samovarochka Golokhvastova
"Самоварочка" is a diminutive-affectionate nickname built on \textit{самовар} ("samovar"), literally "little samovar" -- a teasing pet name for a Golokhvastova already known to the Kiseleva circle from an earlier letter (where Chekhov jokingly tells Kiseleva to "shoot" her); her husband, mentioned here only as less "responsive" than the seminarian candidate, is not otherwise named or identified.
