Dmitri

One of the high points of my life as a Nabokovian was spending several days
at the Montreux Palace Hotel, working in the VN Archives closet, while
Dmitri worked next door. Dmitri and Vera were both gracious hosts,
generous with their time and assistance. Dmitri took me to his apartment,
up in the hills away from the lake and showed me his electric train
set...and his father's copy (Oxford ed.) of Shakespeare. He was kind and
helpful; his driving terrified me. They are passing, posthaste, posthaste,
the gliding years.
