But
may
I
ask
whether
the
great
fortune
of
which
you
speak
has
been
acquired
through
honest
means
?
"
"
Yes
;
through
means
of
the
most
irreproachable
kind
--
through
the
most
honourable
of
methods
.
"
"
Yet
so
improbable
does
it
seem
that
I
can
scarcely
believe
it
.
Thousands
I
could
understand
,
but
millions
--
!
"
"
On
the
contrary
,
to
make
thousands
honestly
is
a
far
more
difficult
matter
than
to
make
millions
.
Millions
are
easily
come
by
,
for
a
millionaire
has
no
need
to
resort
to
crooked
ways
;
the
way
lies
straight
before
him
,
and
he
needs
but
to
annex
whatsoever
he
comes
across
.
No
rival
will
spring
up
to
oppose
him
,
for
no
rival
will
be
sufficiently
strong
,
and
since
the
millionaire
can
operate
over
an
extensive
radius
,
he
can
bring
(
as
I
have
said
)
two
or
three
roubles
to
bear
upon
any
one
else
's
one
.
Consequently
,
what
interest
will
he
derive
from
a
thousand
roubles
?
Why
,
ten
or
twenty
per
cent
.
at
the
least
.
"
"
And
it
is
beyond
measure
marvellous
that
the
whole
should
have
started
from
a
single
kopeck
.
"
"
Had
it
started
otherwise
,
the
thing
could
never
have
been
done
at
all
.
Such
is
the
normal
course
.
He
who
is
born
with
thousands
,
and
is
brought
up
to
thousands
,
will
never
acquire
a
single
kopeck
more
,
for
he
will
have
been
set
up
with
the
amenities
of
life
in
advance
,
and
so
never
come
to
stand
in
need
of
anything
.
It
is
necessary
to
begin
from
the
beginning
rather
than
from
the
middle
;
from
a
kopeck
rather
than
from
a
rouble
;
from
the
bottom
rather
than
from
the
top
.
For
only
thus
will
a
man
get
to
know
the
men
and
conditions
among
which
his
career
will
have
to
be
carved
.
That
is
to
say
,
through
encountering
the
rough
and
the
tumble
of
life
,
and
through
learning
that
every
kopeck
has
to
be
beaten
out
with
a
three-kopeck
nail
,
and
through
worsting
knave
after
knave
,
he
will
acquire
such
a
degree
of
perspicuity
and
wariness
that
he
will
err
in
nothing
which
he
may
tackle
,
and
never
come
to
ruin
.
Believe
me
,
it
is
so
.
The
beginning
,
and
not
the
middle
,
is
the
right
starting
point
.
No
one
who
comes
to
me
and
says
,
'
Give
me
a
hundred
thousand
roubles
,
and
I
will
grow
rich
in
no
time
,
'
do
I
believe
,
for
he
is
likely
to
meet
with
failure
rather
than
with
the
success
of
which
he
is
so
assured
.
'
Tis
with
a
kopeck
,
and
with
a
kopeck
only
,
that
a
man
must
begin
.
"
"
If
that
is
so
,
I
shall
grow
rich
,
"
said
Chichikov
,
involuntarily
remembering
the
dead
souls
.
"
For
of
a
surety
I
began
with
nothing
.
"
"
Constantine
,
pray
allow
Paul
Ivanovitch
to
retire
to
rest
,
"
put
in
the
lady
of
the
house
.
"
It
is
high
time
,
and
I
am
sure
you
have
talked
enough
.
"
"
Yes
,
beyond
a
doubt
you
will
grow
rich
,
"
continued
Kostanzhoglo
,
without
heeding
his
wife
.
"
For
towards
you
there
will
run
rivers
and
rivers
of
gold
,
until
you
will
not
know
what
to
do
with
all
your
gains
.
