Nikola came at 7:30, half an hour late. He has now gone downstairs to socialize with Nathaniel and Sabine. He states he will come back up. I don't know when; or how long he plans to stay.  But you should feel free to come over any time to see me that you wish. I myself have long since accustomed myself to be alone and do not complain of my solitude.  I will let you know by e-mail when Nikola has left. Please feel free to come over whenever you wish, but please feel no obligation to do so.
