St.
Petersburg
,
"
replied
Themistocleus
.
"
And
what
other
city
?
"
"
Moscow
,
"
responded
the
boy
.
"
Clever
little
dear
!
"
burst
out
Chichikov
,
turning
with
an
air
of
surprise
to
the
father
.
"
Indeed
,
I
feel
bound
to
say
that
the
child
evinces
the
greatest
possible
potentialities
.
"
"
You
do
not
know
him
fully
,
"
replied
the
delighted
Manilov
.
"
The
amount
of
sharpness
which
he
possesses
is
extraordinary
.
Our
younger
one
,
Alkid
,
is
not
so
quick
;
whereas
his
brother
--
well
,
no
matter
what
he
may
happen
upon
(
whether
upon
a
cowbug
or
upon
a
water-beetle
or
upon
anything
else
)
,
his
little
eyes
begin
jumping
out
of
his
head
,
and
he
runs
to
catch
the
thing
,
and
to
inspect
it
.
For
HIM
I
am
reserving
a
diplomatic
post
.
Themistocleus
,
"
added
the
father
,
again
turning
to
his
son
,
"
do
you
wish
to
become
an
ambassador
?
"
"
Yes
,
I
do
,
"
replied
Themistocleus
,
chewing
a
piece
of
bread
and
wagging
his
head
from
side
to
side
.
At
this
moment
the
lacquey
who
had
been
standing
behind
the
future
ambassador
wiped
the
latter
's
nose
;
and
well
it
was
that
he
did
so
,
since
otherwise
an
inelegant
and
superfluous
drop
would
have
been
added
to
the
soup
.
After
that
the
conversation
turned
upon
the
joys
of
a
quiet
life
--
though
occasionally
it
was
interrupted
by
remarks
from
the
hostess
on
the
subject
of
acting
and
actors
.
Meanwhile
the
tutor
kept
his
eyes
fixed
upon
the
speakers
'
faces
;
and
whenever
he
noticed
that
they
were
on
the
point
of
laughing
he
at
once
opened
his
mouth
,
and
laughed
with
enthusiasm
.
Probably
he
was
a
man
of
grateful
heart
who
wished
to
repay
his
employers
for
the
good
treatment
which
he
had
received
.
Once
,
however
,
his
features
assumed
a
look
of
grimness
as
,
fixing
his
eyes
upon
his
vis-a-vis
,
the
boys
,
he
tapped
sternly
upon
the
table
.
This
happened
at
a
juncture
when
Themistocleus
had
bitten
Alkid
on
the
ear
,
and
the
said
Alkid
,
with
frowning
eyes
and
open
mouth
,
was
preparing
himself
to
sob
in
piteous
fashion
;
until
,
recognising
that
for
such
a
proceeding
he
might
possibly
be
deprived
of
his
plate
,
he
hastened
to
restore
his
mouth
to
its
original
expression
,
and
fell
tearfully
to
gnawing
a
mutton
bone
--
the
grease
from
which
had
soon
covered
his
cheeks
.
Every
now
and
again
the
hostess
would
turn
to
Chichikov
with
the
words
,
"
You
are
eating
nothing
--
you
have
indeed
taken
little
;
"
but
invariably
her
guest
replied
:
"
Thank
you
,
I
have
had
more
than
enough
.
A
pleasant
conversation
is
worth
all
the
dishes
in
the
world
.
"
At
length
the
company
rose
from
table
.
Manilov
was
in
high
spirits
,
and
,
laying
his
hand
upon
his
guest
's
shoulder
,
was
on
the
point
of
conducting
him
to
the
drawing-room
,
when
suddenly
Chichikov
intimated
to
him
,
with
a
meaning
look
,
that
he
wished
to
speak
to
him
on
a
very
important
matter
.
