Chichikov
bowed
so
low
and
so
long
that
,
by
the
time
that
his
eyes
had
ceased
to
see
nothing
but
his
own
boots
,
the
General
's
daughter
had
disappeared
,
and
in
her
place
was
standing
a
bewhiskered
butler
,
armed
with
a
silver
soap-dish
and
a
hand-basin
.
"
Do
you
mind
if
I
wash
in
your
presence
?
"
asked
the
host
.
"
By
no
means
,
"
replied
Chichikov
.
"
Pray
do
whatsoever
you
please
in
that
respect
.
"
Upon
that
the
General
fell
to
scrubbing
himself
--
incidentally
,
to
sending
soapsuds
flying
in
every
direction
.
Meanwhile
he
seemed
so
favourably
disposed
that
Chichikov
decided
to
sound
him
then
and
there
,
more
especially
since
the
butler
had
left
the
room
.
"
May
I
put
to
you
a
problem
?
"
he
asked
.
"
Certainly
,
"
replied
the
General
.
"
What
is
it
?
"
"
It
is
this
,
your
Excellency
.
I
have
a
decrepit
old
uncle
who
owns
three
hundred
souls
and
two
thousand
roubles-worth
of
other
property
.
Also
,
except
for
myself
,
he
possesses
not
a
single
heir
.
Now
,
although
his
infirm
state
of
health
will
not
permit
of
his
managing
his
property
in
person
,
he
will
not
allow
me
either
to
manage
it
.
And
the
reason
for
his
conduct
--
his
very
strange
conduct
--
he
states
as
follows
:
'
I
do
not
know
my
nephew
,
and
very
likely
he
is
a
spendthrift
.
If
he
wishes
to
show
me
that
he
is
good
for
anything
,
let
him
go
and
acquire
as
many
souls
as
I
have
acquired
;
and
when
he
has
done
that
I
will
transfer
to
him
my
three
hundred
souls
as
well
.
"
"
The
man
must
be
an
absolute
fool
,
"
commented
the
General
.
"
Possibly
.
And
were
that
all
,
things
would
not
be
as
bad
as
they
are
.
But
,
unfortunately
,
my
uncle
has
gone
and
taken
up
with
his
housekeeper
,
and
has
had
children
by
her
.
Consequently
,
everything
will
now
pass
to
THEM
.
