RKS Literature: Inebriation Followed by Tears and Hysteria (Anton Chekov)

“From past experience the Colonel knew that when women like his wife Sophia Lvovna had been in riotous, rather inebriated sprits he could normally expect fits of hysterical laughter and tears to follow. He was afraid that once they got home he would have to run around with the cold compresses and medicine instead of being able to go to bed.”
