Sergei Prokofiev in Paris - 12 February, 1924
from Sergey Prokofiev diaries: 12 February 1924, page 20:
Borovsky had left the previous evening, only a few hours before my arrival. It's really unacceptable: first there is one husband, then the other, but never the two of them.* In my absence he had been learning the March from Three Oranges, and now even the cook was singing it.

8 the Prokofievs and Borovskys were sharing an apartment at the time. S.P. had just returned from Oberammergau, where his mother was critically ill, hence the comment about himself and Alexander Borovsky never being present at the same time.
