This
--
the
fact
that
never
in
my
life
have
I
come
across
such
an
imbecile
,
"
was
Chichikov
's
reply
.
"
Never
mind
,
"
said
Kostanzhoglo
.
"
Koshkarev
is
a
most
reassuring
phenomenon
.
He
is
necessary
in
that
in
him
we
see
expressed
in
caricature
all
the
more
crying
follies
of
our
intellectuals
--
of
the
intellectuals
who
,
without
first
troubling
to
make
themselves
acquainted
with
their
own
country
,
borrow
silliness
from
abroad
.
Yet
that
is
how
certain
of
our
landowners
are
now
carrying
on
.
They
have
set
up
'
offices
'
and
factories
and
schools
and
'
commissions
,
'
and
the
devil
knows
what
else
besides
.
A
fine
lot
of
wiseacres
!
After
the
French
War
in
1812
they
had
to
reconstruct
their
affairs
:
and
see
how
they
have
done
it
!
Yet
so
much
worse
have
they
done
it
than
a
Frenchman
would
have
done
that
any
fool
of
a
Peter
Petrovitch
Pietukh
now
ranks
as
a
good
landowner
!
"
"
But
he
has
mortgaged
the
whole
of
his
estate
?
"
remarked
Chichikov
.
"
Yes
,
nowadays
everything
is
being
mortgaged
,
or
is
going
to
be
.
"
This
said
,
Kostanzhoglo
's
temper
rose
still
further
.
"
Out
upon
your
factories
of
hats
and
candles
!
"
he
cried
.
"
Out
upon
procuring
candle-makers
from
London
,
and
then
turning
landowners
into
hucksters
!
To
think
of
a
Russian
pomiestchik
49
,
a
member
of
the
noblest
of
callings
,
conducting
workshops
and
cotton
mills
!
Why
,
it
is
for
the
wenches
of
towns
to
handle
looms
for
muslin
and
lace
.
"
"
But
you
yourself
maintain
workshops
?
"
remarked
Platon
.
"
I
do
;
but
who
established
them
?
They
established
themselves
.
For
instance
,
wool
had
accumulated
,
and
since
I
had
nowhere
to
store
it
,
I
began
to
weave
it
into
cloth
--
but
,
mark
you
,
only
into
good
,
plain
cloth
of
which
I
can
dispose
at
a
cheap
rate
in
the
local
markets
,
and
which
is
needed
by
peasants
,
including
my
own
.
Again
,
for
six
years
on
end
did
the
fish
factories
keep
dumping
their
offal
on
my
bank
of
the
river
;
wherefore
,
at
last
,
as
there
was
nothing
to
be
done
with
it
,
I
took
to
boiling
it
into
glue
,
and
cleared
forty
thousand
roubles
by
the
process
.
"
"
The
devil
!
"
thought
Chichikov
to
himself
as
he
stared
at
his
host
.
"
What
a
fist
this
man
has
for
making
money
!
"
"
Another
reason
why
I
started
those
factories
,
"
continued
Kostanzhoglo
,
"
is
that
they
might
give
employment
to
many
peasants
who
would
otherwise
have
starved
.
You
see
,
the
year
happened
to
have
been
a
lean
one
--
thanks
to
those
same
industry-mongering
landowners
,
in
that
they
had
neglected
to
sow
their
crops
;
and
now
my
factories
keep
growing
at
the
rate
of
a
factory
a
year
,
owing
to
the
circumstance
that
such
quantities
of
remnants
and
cuttings
become
so
accumulated
that
,
if
a
man
looks
carefully
to
his
management
,
he
will
find
every
sort
of
rubbish
to
be
capable
of
bringing
in
a
return
--
yes
,
to
the
point
of
his
having
to
reject
money
on
the
plea
that
he
has
no
need
of
it
.
Yet
I
do
not
find
that
to
do
all
this
I
require
to
build
a
mansion
with
facades
and
pillars
!
