Reading notes
- A Tragedian in Spite of Himself §21 Khrapov
A colleague at Tolkachov's office who has gone off to get married, adding to the day's short-staffed chaos -- mentioned only, never onstage. The same figure and the same detail (absent because getting married) appear in Chekhov's 1887 story "One of Many" ("Один из многих"), of which this play is closely reworked: entity reused rather than duplicated, since it is textually the identical minor character.
