However
much
factories
may
be
established
privately
or
by
the
law
,
there
will
still
lie
ready
to
man
's
hand
all
that
he
needs
--
he
will
still
require
none
of
those
amenities
which
are
sapping
the
vitality
of
our
present-day
folk
,
nor
any
of
those
industrial
establishments
which
make
their
profit
,
and
keep
themselves
going
,
by
causing
foolish
measures
to
be
adopted
which
,
in
the
end
,
are
bound
to
deprave
and
corrupt
our
unfortunate
masses
.
I
myself
am
determined
never
to
establish
any
manufacture
,
however
profitable
,
which
will
give
rise
to
a
demand
for
'
higher
things
,
'
such
as
sugar
and
tobacco
--
no
not
if
I
lose
a
million
by
my
refusing
to
do
so
.
If
corruption
MUST
overtake
the
MIR
,
it
shall
not
be
through
my
hands
.
And
I
think
that
God
will
justify
me
in
my
resolve
.
Twenty
years
have
I
lived
among
the
common
folk
,
and
I
know
what
will
inevitably
come
of
such
things
.
"
"
But
what
surprises
me
most
,
"
persisted
Chichikov
,
"
is
that
from
refuse
it
should
be
possible
,
with
good
management
,
to
make
such
an
immensity
of
profit
.
"
"
And
as
for
political
economy
,
"
continued
Kostanzhoglo
,
without
noticing
him
,
and
with
his
face
charged
with
bilious
sarcasm
,
"
--
as
for
political
economy
,
it
is
a
fine
thing
indeed
.
Just
one
fool
sitting
on
another
fool
's
back
,
and
flogging
him
along
,
even
though
the
rider
can
see
no
further
than
his
own
nose
!
Yet
into
the
saddle
will
that
fool
climb
--
spectacles
and
all
!
Oh
,
the
folly
,
the
folly
of
such
things
!
"
And
the
speaker
spat
derisively
.
"
That
may
be
true
,
"
said
his
wife
.
"
Yet
you
must
not
get
angry
about
it
.
Surely
one
can
speak
on
such
subjects
without
losing
one
's
temper
?
"
"
As
I
listen
to
you
,
most
worthy
Constantine
Thedorovitch
,
"
Chichikov
hastened
to
remark
,
"
it
becomes
plain
to
me
that
you
have
penetrated
into
the
meaning
of
life
,
and
laid
your
finger
upon
the
essential
root
of
the
matter
.
Yet
supposing
,
for
a
moment
,
we
leave
the
affairs
of
humanity
in
general
,
and
turn
our
attention
to
a
purely
individual
affair
,
might
I
ask
you
how
,
in
the
case
of
a
man
becoming
a
landowner
,
and
having
a
mind
to
grow
wealthy
as
quickly
as
possible
(
in
order
that
he
may
fulfil
his
bounden
obligations
as
a
citizen
)
,
he
can
best
set
about
it
?
"
"
How
he
can
best
set
about
growing
wealthy
?
"
repeated
Kostanzhoglo
.
"
Why
,
--
"
"
Let
us
go
to
supper
,
"
interrupted
the
lady
of
the
house
,
rising
from
her
chair
,
and
moving
towards
the
centre
of
the
room
,
where
she
wrapped
her
shivering
young
form
in
a
shawl
.
Chichikov
sprang
up
with
the
alacrity
of
a
military
man
,
offered
her
his
arm
,
and
escorted
her
,
as
on
parade
,
to
the
dining-room
,
where
awaiting
them
there
was
the
soup-toureen
.
From
it
the
lid
had
just
been
removed
,
and
the
room
was
redolent
of
the
fragrant
odour
of
early
spring
roots
and
herbs
.
The
company
took
their
seats
,
and
at
once
the
servants
placed
the
remainder
of
the
dishes
(
under
covers
)
upon
the
table
and
withdrew
,
for
Kostanzhoglo
hated
to
have
servants
listening
to
their
employers
'
conversation
,
and
objected
still
more
to
their
staring
at
him
all
the
while
that
he
was
eating
.
When
the
soup
had
been
consumed
,
and
glasses
of
an
excellent
vintage
resembling
Hungarian
wine
had
been
poured
out
,
Chichikov
said
to
his
host
:
"
Most
worthy
sir
,
allow
me
once
more
to
direct
your
attention
to
the
subject
of
which
we
were
speaking
at
the
point
when
the
conversation
became
interrupted
.
You
will
remember
that
I
was
asking
you
how
best
a
man
can
set
about
,
proceed
in
,
the
matter
of
growing
...
"
