Not
at
all
.
I
and
my
brother
own
ten
thousand
desiatins
44
of
land
,
and
over
a
thousand
souls
.
"
"
Curious
!
I
do
not
understand
it
.
But
perhaps
the
harvest
has
failed
,
or
you
have
sickness
about
,
and
many
of
your
male
peasants
have
died
of
it
?

"
On
the
contrary
,
everything
is
in
splendid
order
,
for
my
brother
is
the
best
of
managers
.
"
"
Then
to
find
things
wearisome
!
"
exclaimed
Chichikov
.
"
It
passes
my
comprehension
.
"
And
he
shrugged
his
shoulders
.
"
Well
,
we
will
soon
put
weariness
to
flight
,
"
interrupted
the
host
.
"
Aleksasha
,
do
you
run
helter-skelter
to
the
kitchen
,
and
there
tell
the
cook
to
serve
the
fish
pasties
.
Yes
,
and
where
have
that
gawk
of
an
Emelian
and
that
thief
of
an
Antoshka
got
to
?
Why
have
they
not
handed
round
the
zakuski
?
"
At
this
moment
the
door
opened
,
and
the
"
gawk
"
and
the
"
thief
"
in
question
made
their
appearance
with
napkins
and
a
tray
--
the
latter
bearing
six
decanters
of
variously-coloured
beverages
.
These
they
placed
upon
the
table
,
and
then
ringed
them
about
with
glasses
and
platefuls
of
every
conceivable
kind
of
appetiser
.
That
done
,
the
servants
applied
themselves
to
bringing
in
various
comestibles
under
covers
,
through
which
could
be
heard
the
hissing
of
hot
roast
viands
.
In
particular
did
the
"
gawk
"
and
the
"
thief
"
work
hard
at
their
tasks
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
their
appellations
had
been
given
them
merely
to
spur
them
to
greater
activity
,
for
,
in
general
,
the
barin
was
no
lover
of
abuse
,
but
,
rather
,
a
kind-hearted
man
who
,
like
most
Russians
,
could
not
get
on
without
a
sharp
word
or
two
.
That
is
to
say
,
he
needed
them
for
his
tongue
as
he
need
a
glass
of
vodka
for
his
digestion
.
What
else
could
you
expect
?
It
was
his
nature
to
care
for
nothing
mild
.

To
the
zakuski
succeeded
the
meal
itself
,
and
the
host
became
a
perfect
glutton
on
his
guests
'
behalf
.
Should
he
notice
that
a
guest
had
taken
but
a
single
piece
of
a
comestible
,
he
added
thereto
another
one
,
saying
:
"
Without
a
mate
,
neither
man
nor
bird
can
live
in
this
world
.
"
Should
any
one
take
two
pieces
,
he
added
thereto
a
third
,
saying
:
"
What
is
the
good
of
the
number
2
?
God
loves
a
trinity
.
"
Should
any
one
take
three
pieces
,
he
would
say
:
"
Where
do
you
see
a
waggon
with
three
wheels
?
Who
builds
a
three-cornered
hut
?
"
Lastly
,
should
any
one
take
four
pieces
,
he
would
cap
them
with
a
fifth
,
and
add
thereto
the
punning
quip
,
"
Na
piat
opiat

"
.
After
devouring
at
least
twelve
steaks
of
sturgeon
,
Chichikov
ventured
to
think
to
himself
,
"
My
host
can
not
possibly
add
to
THEM
,
"
but
found
that
he
was
mistaken
,
for
,
without
a
word
,
Pietukh
heaped
upon
his
plate
an
enormous
portion
of
spit-roasted
veal
,
and
also
some
kidneys
.
And
what
veal
it
was
!
"
That
calf
was
fed
two
years
on
milk
,
"
he
explained
.
"
I
cared
for
it
like
my
own
son
.
"
"
Nevertheless
I
can
eat
no
more
,
"
said
Chichikov
.
