Spam Novel Part 4
Styopa's pills are working, yet no news from the skitterish balcony. We rejoin our hero in his slumbers.

"Ah, I understand..." the master said, glancing around, "you've killed someone, near No. 302 on Sadovaya Street."

And what of our heroine, Margarita? Will she fall for the bookkeeper's little surprise?
