Marvellous
!
"
exclaimed
Chichikov
.
"
Beyond
all
things
does
it
surprise
me
that
refuse
can
be
so
utilised
.
"
"
Yes
,
and
that
is
what
can
be
done
by
SIMPLE
methods
.
But
nowadays
every
one
is
a
mechanic
,
and
wants
to
open
that
money
chest
with
an
instrument
instead
of
simply
.
For
that
purpose
he
hies
him
to
England
.
Yes
,
THAT
is
the
thing
to
do
.
What
folly
!
"
Kostanzhoglo
spat
and
added
:
"
Yet
when
he
returns
from
abroad
he
is
a
hundred
times
more
ignorant
than
when
he
went
.
"
"
Ah
,
Constantine
,
"
put
in
his
wife
anxiously
,
"
you
know
how
bad
for
you
it
is
to
talk
like
this
.
"
"
Yes
,
but
how
am
I
to
help
losing
my
temper
?
The
thing
touches
me
too
closely
,
it
vexes
me
too
deeply
to
think
that
the
Russian
character
should
be
degenerating
.
For
in
that
character
there
has
dawned
a
sort
of
Quixotism
which
never
used
to
be
there
.
Yes
,
no
sooner
does
a
man
get
a
little
education
into
his
head
than
he
becomes
a
Don
Quixote
,
and
establishes
schools
on
his
estate
such
as
even
a
madman
would
never
have
dreamed
of
.
And
from
that
school
there
issues
a
workman
who
is
good
for
nothing
,
whether
in
the
country
or
in
the
town
--
a
fellow
who
drinks
and
is
for
ever
standing
on
his
dignity
.
Yet
still
our
landowners
keep
taking
to
philanthropy
,
to
converting
themselves
into
philanthropic
knights-errant
,
and
spending
millions
upon
senseless
hospitals
and
institutions
,
and
so
ruining
themselves
and
turning
their
families
adrift
.
Yes
,
that
is
all
that
comes
of
philanthropy
.
"
Chichikov
's
business
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
spread
of
enlightenment
,
he
was
but
seeking
an
opportunity
to
inquire
further
concerning
the
putting
of
refuse
to
lucrative
uses
;
but
Kostanzhoglo
would
not
let
him
get
a
word
in
edgeways
,
so
irresistibly
did
the
flow
of
sarcastic
comment
pour
from
the
speaker
's
lips
.
"
Yes
,
"
went
on
Kostanzhoglo
,
"
folk
are
always
scheming
to
educate
the
peasant
.
But
first
make
him
well-off
and
a
good
farmer
.
THEN
he
will
educate
himself
fast
enough
.
As
things
are
now
,
the
world
has
grown
stupid
to
a
degree
that
passes
belief
.
Look
at
the
stuff
our
present-day
scribblers
write
!
Let
any
sort
of
a
book
be
published
,
and
at
once
you
will
see
every
one
making
a
rush
for
it
.
Similarly
will
you
find
folk
saying
:
'
The
peasant
leads
an
over-simple
life
.
He
ought
to
be
familiarised
with
luxuries
,
and
so
led
to
yearn
for
things
above
his
station
.
'
And
the
result
of
such
luxuries
will
be
that
the
peasant
will
become
a
rag
rather
than
a
man
,
and
suffer
from
the
devil
only
knows
what
diseases
,
until
there
will
remain
in
the
land
not
a
boy
of
eighteen
who
will
not
have
experienced
the
whole
gamut
of
them
,
and
found
himself
left
with
not
a
tooth
in
his
jaws
or
a
hair
on
his
pate
.
Yes
,
that
is
what
will
come
of
infecting
the
peasant
with
such
rubbish
.
But
,
thank
God
,
there
is
still
one
healthy
class
left
to
us
--
a
class
which
has
never
taken
up
with
the
'
advantages
'
of
which
I
speak
.
For
that
we
ought
to
be
grateful
.
And
since
,
even
yet
,
the
Russian
agriculturist
remains
the
most
respect-worthy
man
in
the
land
,
why
should
he
be
touched
?
Would
to
God
every
one
were
an
agriculturist
!
"
"
Then
you
believe
agriculture
to
be
the
most
profitable
of
occupations
?
"
said
Chichikov
.
"
The
best
,
at
all
events
--
if
not
the
most
profitable
.
'
In
the
sweat
of
thy
brow
shalt
thou
till
the
land
.
'
To
quote
that
requires
no
great
wisdom
,
for
the
experience
of
ages
has
shown
us
that
,
in
the
agricultural
calling
,
man
has
ever
remained
more
moral
,
more
pure
,
more
noble
than
in
any
other
.
Of
course
I
do
not
mean
to
imply
that
no
other
calling
ought
to
be
practised
:
simply
that
the
calling
in
question
lies
at
the
root
of
all
the
rest
.
