--> '''Bai Ganyo''': I'd kiss a hundred hands for such a meal. Oh well. That chore was done too, then we rushed, my brother, downstairs... Believe if you will, I hopped three steps at a time, almost bumped into the mirror, but let no one get ahead. Got my hands on the caviar, then got digging like crazy with the spoon... That fish with mayonnaise, so many snacks, don't know their names, whoa. I ate, ate, stuffed myself, even now I'm wondering how my stomach didn't burst.

Added DiffLines:

* ProfessionalButtKisser: He is a master at sucking up to whoever is currently in power. Talking to Jireček, he mentions defending him, only to slander him later. Also, when there is a coup in Bulgaria in 1894, he and his cronies are getting ready to welcome the Prince with a proclamation heaping praise on the current Prime Minister, Stefan Stambolov, thinking he's still in power, calling him "a Cicero and Neeton of Bulgaria" and praising the Prince's decision to support this "most enlightened statesman". When they read that Stambolov has fallen and Konstantin Stoilov was elected instead, Ganyo orders the proclamation rewritten to express the opposite sentiment, now calling Stambolov "a Tamerlane and a Caligula" as well as a "savage and barbaric tyrant".
* PublicBathhouseScene: ''Bai Ganyo at the bathhouse'', where he, having never been to one before, splashes around, treating it like a swimming pool, to the dismay of the other patrons.
