And
to
the
President
's
inquiry
why
he
had
so
acted
,
seeing
that
the
serfs
named
were
all
skilled
workers
and
indispensable
to
a
household
,
Sobakevitch
replied
that
a
mere
whim
had
led
him
to
do
so
,
and
thus
the
sale
had
owed
its
origin
to
a
piece
of
folly
.
Then
he
hung
his
head
as
though
already
repenting
of
his
rash
act
,
and
added
:
"
Although
a
man
of
grey
hairs
,
I
have
not
yet
learned
wisdom
.
"
"
But
,
"
inquired
the
President
further
,
"
how
comes
it
about
,
Paul
Ivanovitch
,
that
you
have
purchased
peasants
apart
from
land
?
Is
it
for
transferment
elsewhere
that
you
need
them
?
"
"
Yes
.
"
"
Very
well
,
then
.
That
is
quite
another
matter
.
To
what
province
of
the
country
?
"
"
To
the
province
of
Kherson
.
"
"
Indeed
!
That
region
contains
some
splendid
land
,
"
said
the
President
;
whereupon
he
proceeded
to
expatiate
on
the
fertility
of
the
Kherson
pastures
.
"
And
have
you
MUCH
land
there
?
"
he
continued
.
"
Yes
;
quite
sufficient
to
accommodate
the
serfs
whom
I
have
purchased
.
"
"
And
is
there
a
river
on
the
estate
or
a
lake
?
"
