What
says
the
proverb
?
"
he
began
.
"'
To
see
a
friend
,
seven
versts
is
not
too
long
a
round
to
make
.
'
I
happened
to
be
passing
the
house
,
saw
a
light
in
your
window
,
and
thought
to
myself
:
'
Now
,
suppose
I
were
to
run
up
and
pay
him
a
visit
?
It
is
unlikely
that
he
will
be
asleep
.
'
Ah
,
ha
!
I
see
tea
on
your
table
!
Good
!
Then
I
will
drink
a
cup
with
you
,
for
I
had
wretched
stuff
for
dinner
,
and
it
is
beginning
to
lie
heavy
on
my
stomach
.
Also
,
tell
your
man
to
fill
me
a
pipe
.
Where
is
your
own
pipe
?
"
"
I
never
smoke
,
"
rejoined
Chichikov
drily
.
"
Rubbish
!
As
if
I
did
not
know
what
a
chimney-pot
you
are
!
What
is
your
man
's
name
?
Hi
,
Vakhramei
!
Come
here
!
"

"
Petrushka
is
his
name
,
not
Vakhramei
.
"
"
Indeed
!
But
you
USED
to
have
a
man
called
Vakhramei
,
did
n't
you
?
"
"
No
,
never
.

Oh
,
well
.
Then
it
must
be
Derebin
's
man
I
am
thinking
of
.
What
a
lucky
fellow
that
Derebin
is
!
An
aunt
of
his
has
gone
and
quarrelled
with
her
son
for
marrying
a
serf
woman
,
and
has
left
all
her
property
to
HIM
,
to
Derebin
.
Would
that
I
had
an
aunt
of
that
kind
to
provide
against
future
contingencies
!
But
why
have
you
been
hiding
yourself
away
?
I
suppose
the
reason
has
been
that
you
go
in
for
abstruse
subjects
and
are
fond
of
reading
"
(
why
Nozdrev
should
have
drawn
these
conclusions
no
one
could
possibly
have
said
--
least
of
all
Chichikov
himself
)
.
"
By
the
way
,
I
can
tell
you
of
something
that
would
have
found
you
scope
for
your
satirical
vein
"
(
the
conclusion
as
to
Chichikov
's
"
satirical
vein
"
was
,
as
before
,
altogether
unwarranted
on
Nozdrev
's
part
)
.
"
That
is
to
say
,
you
would
have
seen
merchant
Likhachev
losing
a
pile
of
money
at
play
.
My
word
,
you
would
have
laughed
!
A
fellow
with
me
named
Perependev
said
:
'
Would
that
Chichikov
had
been
here
!
It
would
have
been
the
very
thing
for
him
!
"'
(
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
never
since
the
day
of
his
birth
had
Nozdrev
met
any
one
of
the
name
of
Perependev
.
)
"
However
,
my
friend
,
you
must
admit
that
you
treated
me
rather
badly
the
day
that
we
played
that
game
of
chess
;
but
,
as
I
won
the
game
,
I
bear
you
no
malice
.
A
propos
,
I
am
just
from
the
President
's
,
and
ought
to
tell
you
that
the
feeling
against
you
in
the
town
is
very
strong
,
for
every
one
believes
you
to
be
a
forger
of
currency
notes
.
I
myself
was
sent
for
and
questioned
about
you
,
but
I
stuck
up
for
you
through
thick
and
thin
,
and
told
the
tchinovniks
that
I
had
been
at
school
with
you
,
and
had
known
your
father
.
In
fact
,
I
gave
the
fellows
a
knock
or
two
for
themselves
.
"
"
You
say
that
I
am
believed
to
be
a
forger
?
"
said
Chichikov
,
starting
from
his
seat
.
