Fetch the Samovar!

Ahhh... the pleasure of reading Tolstoy's War and Peace (1812 Battle of Borodino) with Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture playing in the background! And on a Friday evening: it's the icing on my demi-weekend cake.

You know what ... I'll fetch the samovar ... er, teacup, myself. Midnight 'drinkie', anyone?
