Please help me find this short story-- Desperate!!!

Unread post

Do you know the name or author of this short story: I think it’s set in Eastern Europe or maybe Russia. It starts with two men meeting at a soiree at an aristocrat's house. They then decide to take a walk to some location despite the late hour and snow. I think that one of them is jealous of the other or something like that. I think the title was something like “a walk to the _______”

The blank may be something like a monument or a river. Do you have any clue what it may be??

Thanks in advance!

If they used the word "soirée" I'd say it was in Russia rather than Eastern Europe. Russian aristocracy spoke French in the 19th century.
