And
,
spitting
,
he
came
near
to
venting
some
expression
which
would
scarcely
have
been
becoming
in
the
presence
of
his
wife
.
Over
his
face
the
dark
shadow
of
hypochondria
had
cast
a
cloud
,
and
furrows
had
formed
on
his
brow
and
temples
,
and
his
every
gesture
bespoke
the
influence
of
a
hot
,
nervous
rancour
.
"
But
allow
me
once
more
to
direct
your
attention
to
the
subject
of
our
recently
interrupted
conversation
,
"
persisted
Chichikov
as
he
sipped
a
glass
of
excellent
raspberry
wine
.
"
That
is
to
say
,
supposing
I
were
to
acquire
the
property
which
you
have
been
good
enough
to
bring
to
my
notice
,
how
long
would
it
take
me
to
grow
rich
?

"
That
would
depend
on
yourself
,
"
replied
Kostanzhoglo
with
grim
abruptness
and
evident
ill-humour
.
"
You
might
either
grow
rich
quickly
or
you
might
never
grow
rich
at
all
.
If
you
made
up
your
mind
to
grow
rich
,
sooner
or
later
you
would
find
yourself
a
wealthy
man
.
"
"
Indeed
!
"
ejaculated
Chichikov
.
"
Yes
,
"
replied
Kostanzhoglo
,
as
sharply
as
though
he
were
angry
with
Chichikov
.
"
You
would
merely
need
to
be
fond
of
work
:
otherwise
you
would
effect
nothing
.
The
main
thing
is
to
like
looking
after
your
property
.
Believe
me
,
you
would
never
grow
weary
of
doing
so
.
People
would
have
it
that
life
in
the
country
is
dull
;
whereas
,
if
I
were
to
spend
a
single
day
as
it
is
spent
by
some
folk
,
with
their
stupid
clubs
and
their
restaurants
and
their
theatres
,
I
should
die
of
ennui
.
The
fools
,
the
idiots
,
the
generations
of
blind
dullards
!
But
a
landowner
never
finds
the
days
wearisome
--
he
has
not
the
time
.
In
his
life
not
a
moment
remains
unoccupied
;
it
is
full
to
the
brim
.
And
with
it
all
goes
an
endless
variety
of
occupations
.
And
what
occupations
!
Occupations
which
genuinely
uplift
the
soul
,
seeing
that
the
landowner
walks
with
nature
and
the
seasons
of
the
year
,
and
takes
part
in
,
and
is
intimate
with
,
everything
which
is
evolved
by
creation
.
For
let
us
look
at
the
round
of
the
year
's
labours
.
Even
before
spring
has
arrived
there
will
have
begun
a
general
watching
and
a
waiting
for
it
,
and
a
preparing
for
sowing
,
and
an
apportioning
of
crops
,
and
a
measuring
of
seed
grain
by
byres
,
and
drying
of
seed
,
and
a
dividing
of
the
workers
into
teams
.
For
everything
needs
to
be
examined
beforehand
,
and
calculations
must
be
made
at
the
very
start
.
And
as
soon
as
ever
the
ice
shall
have
melted
,
and
the
rivers
be
flowing
,
and
the
land
have
dried
sufficiently
to
be
workable
,
the
spade
will
begin
its
task
in
kitchen
and
flower
garden
,
and
the
plough
and
the
harrow
their
tasks
in
the
field
;
until
everywhere
there
will
be
tilling
and
sowing
and
planting
.
And
do
you
understand
what
the
sum
of
that
labour
will
mean
?
It
will
mean
that
the
harvest
is
being
sown
,
that
the
welfare
of
the
world
is
being
sown
,
that
the
food
of
millions
is
being
put
into
the
earth
.
And
thereafter
will
come
summer
,
the
season
of
reaping
,
endless
reaping
;
for
suddenly
the
crops
will
have
ripened
,
and
rye-sheaf
will
be
lying
heaped
upon
rye-sheaf
,
with
,
elsewhere
,
stocks
of
barley
,
and
of
oats
,
and
of
wheat
.
And
everything
will
be
teeming
with
life
,
and
not
a
moment
will
there
need
to
be
lost
,
seeing
that
,
had
you
even
twenty
eyes
,
you
would
have
need
for
them
all
.

And
after
the
harvest
festivities
there
will
be
grain
to
be
carted
to
byre
or
stacked
in
ricks
,
and
stores
to
be
prepared
for
the
winter
,
and
storehouses
and
kilns
and
cattle-sheds
to
be
cleaned
for
the
same
purpose
,
and
the
women
to
be
assigned
their
tasks
,
and
the
totals
of
everything
to
be
calculated
,
so
that
one
may
see
the
value
of
what
has
been
done
.
And
lastly
will
come
winter
,
when
in
every
threshing-floor
the
flail
will
be
working
,
and
the
grain
,
when
threshed
,
will
need
to
be
carried
from
barn
to
binn
,
and
the
mills
require
to
be
seen
to
,
and
the
estate
factories
to
be
inspected
,
and
the
workmen
's
huts
to
be
visited
for
the
purpose
of
ascertaining
how
the
muzhik
is
faring
(
for
,
given
a
carpenter
who
is
clever
with
his
tools
,
I
,
for
one
,
am
only
too
glad
to
spend
an
hour
or
two
in
his
company
,
so
cheering
to
me
is
labour
)
.
And
if
,
in
addition
,
one
discerns
the
end
to
which
everything
is
moving
,
and
the
manner
in
which
the
things
of
earth
are
everywhere
multiplying
and
multiplying
,
and
bringing
forth
more
and
more
fruit
to
one
's
profiting
,
I
can
not
adequately
express
what
takes
place
in
a
man
's
soul
.
And
that
,
not
because
of
the
growth
in
his
wealth
--
money
is
money
and
no
more
--
but
because
he
will
feel
that
everything
is
the
work
of
his
own
hands
,
and
that
he
has
been
the
cause
of
everything
,
and
its
creator
,
and
that
from
him
,
as
from
a
magician
,
there
has
flowed
bounty
and
goodness
for
all
.
In
what
other
calling
will
you
find
such
delights
in
prospect
?
"
As
he
spoke
,
Kostanzhoglo
raised
his
face
,
and
it
became
clear
that
the
wrinkles
had
fled
from
it
,
and
that
,
like
the
Tsar
on
the
solemn
day
of
his
crowning
,
Kostanzhoglo
's
whole
form
was
diffusing
light
,
and
his
features
had
in
them
a
gentle
radiance
.
"
In
all
the
world
,
"
he
repeated
,
"
you
will
find
no
joys
like
these
,
for
herein
man
imitates
the
God
who
projected
creation
as
the
supreme
happiness
,
and
now
demands
of
man
that
he
,
too
,
should
act
as
the
creator
of
prosperity
.
Yet
there
are
folk
who
call
such
functions
tedious
!
"
Kostanzhoglo
's
mellifluous
periods
fell
upon
Chichikov
's
ear
like
the
notes
of
a
bird
of
paradise
.
From
time
to
time
he
gulped
,
and
his
softened
eyes
expressed
the
pleasure
which
it
gave
him
to
listen
.
