"
Yes
,
"
replied
Chichikov
with
a
similar
whisper
,
"
but
what
sort
of
serfs
do
you
suppose
them
to
be
?
They
are
a
poor
,
useless
lot
,
and
not
worth
even
half
the
purchase
money
.
"
This
gave
Ivan
Antonovitch
to
understand
that
the
visitor
was
a
man
of
strong
character
--
a
man
from
whom
nothing
more
was
to
be
expected
.
"
Why
have
you
gone
and
purchased
souls
from
Plushkin
?
"
whispered
Sobakevitch
in
Chichikov
's
other
ear
.
"
Why
did
YOU
go
and
add
the
woman
Vorobei
to
your
list
?
"
retorted
Chichikov
.
"
Vorobei
?
Who
is
Vorobei
?
"
"
The
woman
'
Elizabet
'
Vorobei
--
'
Elizabet
,
'
not
'
Elizabeta
?
"'
"
I
added
no
such
name
,
"
replied
Sobakevitch
,
and
straightway
joined
the
other
guests
.
At
length
the
party
arrived
at
the
residence
of
the
Chief
of
Police
.
The
latter
proved
indeed
a
man
of
spells
,
for
no
sooner
had
he
learnt
what
was
afoot
than
he
summoned
a
brisk
young
constable
,
whispered
in
his
ear
,
adding
laconically
,
"
You
understand
,
do
you
not
?
"
and
brought
it
about
that
,
during
the
time
that
the
guests
were
cutting
for
partners
at
whist
in
an
adjoining
room
,
the
dining-table
became
laden
with
sturgeon
,
caviare
,
salmon
,
herrings
,
cheese
,
smoked
tongue
,
fresh
roe
,
and
a
potted
variety
of
the
same
--
all
procured
from
the
local
fish
market
,
and
reinforced
with
additions
from
the
host
's
own
kitchen
.
The
fact
was
that
the
worthy
Chief
of
Police
filled
the
office
of
a
sort
of
father
and
general
benefactor
to
the
town
,
and
that
he
moved
among
the
citizens
as
though
they
constituted
part
and
parcel
of
his
own
family
,
and
watched
over
their
shops
and
markets
as
though
those
establishments
were
merely
his
own
private
larder
.
Indeed
,
it
would
be
difficult
to
say
--
so
thoroughly
did
he
perform
his
duties
in
this
respect
--
whether
the
post
most
fitted
him
,
or
he
the
post
.
Matters
were
also
so
arranged
that
though
his
income
more
than
doubled
that
of
his
predecessors
,
he
had
never
lost
the
affection
of
his
fellow
townsmen
.
In
particular
did
the
tradesmen
love
him
,
since
he
was
never
above
standing
godfather
to
their
children
or
dining
at
their
tables
.
True
,
he
had
differences
of
opinion
with
them
,
and
serious
differences
at
that
;
but
always
these
were
skilfully
adjusted
by
his
slapping
the
offended
ones
jovially
on
the
shoulder
,
drinking
a
glass
of
tea
with
them
,
promising
to
call
at
their
houses
and
play
a
game
of
chess
,
asking
after
their
belongings
,
and
,
should
he
learn
that
a
child
of
theirs
was
ill
,
prescribing
the
proper
medicine
.
In
short
,
he
bore
the
reputation
of
being
a
very
good
fellow
.
On
perceiving
the
feast
to
be
ready
,
the
host
proposed
that
his
guests
should
finish
their
whist
after
luncheon
;
whereupon
all
proceeded
to
the
room
whence
for
some
time
past
an
agreeable
odour
had
been
tickling
the
nostrils
of
those
present
,
and
towards
the
door
of
which
Sobakevitch
in
particular
had
been
glancing
since
the
moment
when
he
had
caught
sight
of
a
huge
sturgeon
reposing
on
the
sideboard
.
After
a
glassful
of
warm
,
olive-coloured
vodka
apiece
--
vodka
of
the
tint
to
be
seen
only
in
the
species
of
Siberian
stone
whereof
seals
are
cut
--
the
company
applied
themselves
to
knife-and-fork
work
,
and
,
in
so
doing
,
evinced
their
several
characteristics
and
tastes
.
