Nevertheless
events
did
not
turn
out
as
Chichikov
had
intended
they
should
.
In
the
first
place
,
he
overslept
himself
.
That
was
check
number
one
.
In
the
second
place
,
on
his
rising
and
inquiring
whether
the
britchka
had
been
harnessed
and
everything
got
ready
,
he
was
informed
that
neither
of
those
two
things
had
been
done
.
That
was
check
number
two
.
Beside
himself
with
rage
,
he
prepared
to
give
Selifan
the
wigging
of
his
life
,
and
,
meanwhile
,
waited
impatiently
to
hear
what
the
delinquent
had
got
to
say
in
his
defence
.
It
goes
without
saying
that
when
Selifan
made
his
appearance
in
the
doorway
he
had
only
the
usual
excuses
to
offer
--
the
sort
of
excuses
usually
offered
by
servants
when
a
hasty
departure
has
become
imperatively
necessary
.
"
Paul
Ivanovitch
,
"
he
said
,
"
the
horses
require
shoeing
.
"
"
Blockhead
!
"
exclaimed
Chichikov
.
"
Why
did
you
not
tell
me
of
that
before
,
you
damned
fool
?
Was
there
not
time
enough
for
them
to
be
shod
?
"
"
Yes
,
I
suppose
there
was
,
"
agreed
Selifan
.
"
Also
one
of
the
wheels
is
in
want
of
a
new
tyre
,
for
the
roads
are
so
rough
that
the
old
tyre
is
worn
through
.
Also
,
the
body
of
the
britchka
is
so
rickety
that
probably
it
will
not
last
more
than
a
couple
of
stages
.
"
"
Rascal
!
"
shouted
Chichikov
,
clenching
his
fists
and
approaching
Selifan
in
such
a
manner
that
,
fearing
to
receive
a
blow
,
the
man
backed
and
dodged
aside
.
"
Do
you
mean
to
ruin
me
,
and
to
break
all
our
bones
on
the
road
,
you
cursed
idiot
?
For
these
three
weeks
past
you
have
been
doing
nothing
at
all
;
yet
now
,
at
the
last
moment
,
you
come
here
stammering
and
playing
the
fool
!
Do
you
think
I
keep
you
just
to
eat
and
to
drive
yourself
about
?
You
must
have
known
of
this
before
?
Did
you
,
or
did
you
not
,
know
it
?
Answer
me
at
once
.
"
"
Yes
,
I
did
know
it
,
"
replied
Selifan
,
hanging
his
head
.
"
Then
why
did
n't
you
tell
me
about
it
?
"
Selifan
had
no
reply
immediately
ready
,
so
continued
to
hang
his
head
while
quietly
saying
to
himself
:
"
See
how
well
I
have
managed
things
!
I
knew
what
was
the
matter
,
yet
I
did
not
say
.
"
"
And
now
,
"
continued
Chichikov
,
"
go
you
at
once
and
fetch
a
blacksmith
.
Tell
him
that
everything
must
be
put
right
within
two
hours
at
the
most
.
Do
you
hear
?
If
that
should
not
be
done
,
I
,
I
--
I
will
give
you
the
best
flogging
that
ever
you
had
in
your
life
.
"
Truly
Chichikov
was
almost
beside
himself
with
fury
.
