What
?
You
so
thick
with
that
bailiff
of
yours
,
you
housekeeping
jade
!
Perfilievna
.
Nay
,
he
is
as
big
a
thief
as
you
are
.
Do
you
think
the
barin
does
n't
know
you
?
And
there
he
is
!
He
must
have
heard
everything
!
Grigory
.
Where
?
Perfilievna
.
There
--
sitting
by
the
window
,
and
looking
at
us
!
Next
,
to
complete
the
hubbub
,
a
serf
child
which
had
been
clouted
by
its
mother
broke
out
into
a
bawl
,
while
a
borzoi
puppy
which
had
happened
to
get
splashed
with
boiling
water
by
the
cook
fell
to
yelping
vociferously
.
In
short
,
the
place
soon
became
a
babel
of
shouts
and
squeals
,
and
,
after
watching
and
listening
for
a
time
,
the
barin
found
it
so
impossible
to
concentrate
his
mind
upon
anything
that
he
sent
out
word
that
the
noise
would
have
to
be
abated
.
The
next
item
was
that
,
a
couple
of
hours
before
luncheon
time
,
he
withdrew
to
his
study
,
to
set
about
employing
himself
upon
a
weighty
work
which
was
to
consider
Russia
from
every
point
of
view
:
from
the
political
,
from
the
philosophical
,
and
from
the
religious
,
as
well
as
to
resolve
various
problems
which
had
arisen
to
confront
the
Empire
,
and
to
define
clearly
the
great
future
to
which
the
country
stood
ordained
.
In
short
,
it
was
to
be
the
species
of
compilation
in
which
the
man
of
the
day
so
much
delights
.
Yet
the
colossal
undertaking
had
progressed
but
little
beyond
the
sphere
of
projection
,
since
,
after
a
pen
had
been
gnawed
awhile
,
and
a
few
strokes
had
been
committed
to
paper
,
the
whole
would
be
laid
aside
in
favour
of
the
reading
of
some
book
;
and
that
reading
would
continue
also
during
luncheon
and
be
followed
by
the
lighting
of
a
pipe
,
the
playing
of
a
solitary
game
of
chess
,
and
the
doing
of
more
or
less
nothing
for
the
rest
of
the
day
.
The
foregoing
will
give
the
reader
a
pretty
clear
idea
of
the
manner
in
which
it
was
possible
for
this
man
of
thirty-three
to
waste
his
time
.
Clad
constantly
in
slippers
and
a
dressing-gown
,
Tientietnikov
never
went
out
,
never
indulged
in
any
form
of
dissipation
,
and
never
walked
upstairs
.
Nothing
did
he
care
for
fresh
air
,
and
would
bestow
not
a
passing
glance
upon
all
those
beauties
of
the
countryside
which
moved
visitors
to
such
ecstatic
admiration
.
From
this
the
reader
will
see
that
Andrei
Ivanovitch
Tientietnikov
belonged
to
that
band
of
sluggards
whom
we
always
have
with
us
,
and
who
,
whatever
be
their
present
appellation
,
used
to
be
known
by
the
nicknames
of
"
lollopers
,
"
"
bed
pressers
,
"
and
"
marmots
.
"
Whether
the
type
is
a
type
originating
at
birth
,
or
a
type
resulting
from
untoward
circumstances
in
later
life
,
it
is
impossible
to
say
.
A
better
course
than
to
attempt
to
answer
that
question
would
be
to
recount
the
story
of
Tientietnikov
's
boyhood
and
upbringing
.
Everything
connected
with
the
latter
seemed
to
promise
success
,
for
at
twelve
years
of
age
the
boy
--
keen-witted
,
but
dreamy
of
temperament
,
and
inclined
to
delicacy
--
was
sent
to
an
educational
establishment
presided
over
by
an
exceptional
type
of
master
.
The
idol
of
his
pupils
,
and
the
admiration
of
his
assistants
,
Alexander
Petrovitch
was
gifted
with
an
extraordinary
measure
of
good
sense
.
How
thoroughly
he
knew
the
peculiarities
of
the
Russian
of
his
day
!
How
well
he
understood
boys
!
How
capable
he
was
of
drawing
them
out
!
Not
a
practical
joker
in
the
school
but
,
after
perpetrating
a
prank
,
would
voluntarily
approach
his
preceptor
and
make
to
him
free
confession
.
True
,
the
preceptor
would
put
a
stern
face
upon
the
matter
,
yet
the
culprit
would
depart
with
head
held
higher
,
not
lower
,
than
before
,
since
in
Alexander
Petrovitch
there
was
something
which
heartened
--
something
which
seemed
to
say
to
a
delinquent
:
"
Forward
you
!
Rise
to
your
feet
again
,
even
though
you
have
fallen
!
"
Not
lectures
on
good
behaviour
was
it
,
therefore
,
that
fell
from
his
lips
,
but
rather
the
injunction
,
"
I
want
to
see
intelligence
,
and
nothing
else
.
The
boy
who
devotes
his
attention
to
becoming
clever
will
never
play
the
fool
,
for
under
such
circumstances
,
folly
disappears
of
itself
.
"
And
so
folly
did
,
for
the
boy
who
failed
to
strive
in
the
desired
direction
incurred
the
contempt
of
all
his
comrades
,
and
even
dunces
and
fools
of
senior
standing
did
not
dare
to
raise
a
finger
when
saluted
by
their
juniors
with
opprobrious
epithets
.
Yet
"
This
is
too
much
,
"
certain
folk
would
say
to
Alexander
.
"
The
result
will
be
that
your
students
will
turn
out
prigs
.
"
"
But
no
,
"
he
would
reply
.
"
Not
at
all
.
You
see
,
I
make
it
my
principle
to
keep
the
incapables
for
a
single
term
only
,
since
that
is
enough
for
them
;
but
to
the
clever
ones
I
allot
a
double
course
of
instruction
.
"
And
,
true
enough
,
any
lad
of
brains
was
retained
for
this
finishing
course
.
Yet
he
did
not
repress
all
boyish
playfulness
,
since
he
declared
it
to
be
as
necessary
as
a
rash
to
a
doctor
,
inasmuch
as
it
enabled
him
to
diagnose
what
lay
hidden
within
.
