After
this
reply
Chichikov
involuntarily
threw
a
glance
at
Sobakevitch
;
and
though
that
landowner
's
face
was
as
motionless
as
every
other
,
the
other
seemed
to
detect
in
it
:
"
You
liar
!
Do
n't
tell
ME
that
you
own
both
a
river
and
a
lake
,
as
well
as
the
land
which
you
say
you
do
.
"
Whilst
the
foregoing
conversation
had
been
in
progress
,
various
witnesses
had
been
arriving
on
the
scene
.
They
consisted
of
the
constantly
blinking
Public
Prosecutor
,
the
Inspector
of
the
Medical
Department
,
and
others
--
all
,
to
quote
Sobakevitch
,
"
men
who
cumbered
the
ground
for
nothing
.
"
With
some
of
them
,
however
,
Chichikov
was
altogether
unacquainted
,
since
certain
substitutes
and
supernumeraries
had
to
be
pressed
into
the
service
from
among
the
ranks
of
the
subordinate
staff
.
There
also
arrived
,
in
answer
to
the
summons
,
not
only
the
son
of
Father
Cyril
before
mentioned
,
but
also
Father
Cyril
himself
.
Each
such
witness
appended
to
his
signature
a
full
list
of
his
dignities
and
qualifications
:
one
man
in
printed
characters
,
another
in
a
flowing
hand
,
a
third
in
topsy-turvy
characters
of
a
kind
never
before
seen
in
the
Russian
alphabet
,
and
so
forth
.
Meanwhile
our
friend
Ivan
Antonovitch
comported
himself
with
not
a
little
address
;
and
after
the
indentures
had
been
signed
,
docketed
,
and
registered
,
Chichikov
found
himself
called
upon
to
pay
only
the
merest
trifle
in
the
way
of
Government
percentage
and
fees
for
publishing
the
transaction
in
the
Official
Gazette
.
The
reason
of
this
was
that
the
President
had
given
orders
that
only
half
the
usual
charges
were
to
be
exacted
from
the
present
purchaser
--
the
remaining
half
being
somehow
debited
to
the
account
of
another
applicant
for
serf
registration
.
"
And
now
,
"
said
Ivan
Grigorievitch
when
all
was
completed
,
"
we
need
only
to
wet
the
bargain
.
"
"
For
that
too
I
am
ready
,
"
said
Chichikov
.
"
Do
you
but
name
the
hour
.
If
,
in
return
for
your
most
agreeable
company
,
I
were
not
to
set
a
few
champagne
corks
flying
,
I
should
be
indeed
in
default
.
"
"
But
we
are
not
going
to
let
you
charge
yourself
with
anything
whatsoever
.
WE
must
provide
the
champagne
,
for
you
are
our
guest
,
and
it
is
for
us
--
it
is
our
duty
,
it
is
our
bounden
obligation
--
to
entertain
you
.
Look
here
,
gentlemen
.
Let
us
adjourn
to
the
house
of
the
Chief
of
Police
.
He
is
the
magician
who
needs
but
to
wink
when
passing
a
fishmonger
's
or
a
wine
merchant
's
.
Not
only
shall
we
fare
well
at
his
place
,
but
also
we
shall
get
a
game
of
whist
.
"
To
this
proposal
no
one
had
any
objection
to
offer
,
for
the
mere
mention
of
the
fish
shop
aroused
the
witnesses
'
appetite
.
Consequently
,
the
ceremony
being
over
,
there
was
a
general
reaching
for
hats
and
caps
.
As
the
party
were
passing
through
the
general
office
,
Ivan
Antonovitch
whispered
in
Chichikov
's
ear
,
with
a
courteous
inclination
of
his
jug-shaped
physiognomy
:
"
You
have
given
a
hundred
thousand
roubles
for
the
serfs
,
but
have
paid
ME
only
a
trifle
for
my
trouble
.
"
