Can anybody explain me two Nabokov's sentences (from a thousand I do not
> understand):
>1/ Preface to "Speak, Memory", end of second paragraph - "H.R.'s query:
>"Were the Nabokov's a one-nutcracker family?" (I guess H.R.is Harold Ross,
>but what is a nutcracker here?)
>2/ Interview by A.Toffler ("Playboy") from "Strong Opinions" - Nabokov's
>preface to it ends with a non-existing Latin saying "Egreto perambis
doribus!"
>, which looks as a misprint - or else?
>Thanks, Maria Malikova
