"
The
odd
five
thousand
I
will
lend
you
,
"
put
in
Platon
to
Chichikov
.
"
Indeed
!
"
exclaimed
Chichikov
as
he
reflected
:
"
So
he
also
lends
money
!
"
In
the
end
Chichikov
's
dispatch-box
was
brought
from
the
koliaska
,
and
Khlobuev
received
thence
ten
thousand
roubles
,
together
with
a
promise
that
the
remaining
five
thousand
should
be
forthcoming
on
the
morrow
;
though
the
promise
was
given
only
after
Chichikov
had
first
proposed
that
THREE
thousand
should
be
brought
on
the
day
named
,
and
the
rest
be
left
over
for
two
or
three
days
longer
,
if
not
for
a
still
more
protracted
period
.
The
truth
was
that
Paul
Ivanovitch
hated
parting
with
money
.
No
matter
how
urgent
a
situation
might
have
been
,
he
would
still
have
preferred
to
pay
a
sum
to-morrow
rather
than
to-day
.
In
other
words
,
he
acted
as
we
all
do
,
for
we
all
like
keeping
a
petitioner
waiting
.
"
Let
him
rub
his
back
in
the
hall
for
a
while
,
"
we
say
.
"
Surely
he
can
bide
his
time
a
little
?
"
Yet
of
the
fact
that
every
hour
may
be
precious
to
the
poor
wretch
,
and
that
his
business
may
suffer
from
the
delay
,
we
take
no
account
.
"
Good
sir
,
"
we
say
,
"
pray
come
again
to-morrow
.
To-day
I
have
no
time
to
spare
you
.
"
"
Where
do
you
intend
henceforth
to
live
?
"
inquired
Platon
.
"
Have
you
any
other
property
to
which
you
can
retire
?
"
"
No
,
"
replied
Khlobuev
.
"
I
shall
remove
to
the
town
,
where
I
possess
a
small
villa
.
That
would
have
been
necessary
,
in
any
case
,
for
the
children
's
sake
.
You
see
,
they
must
have
instruction
in
God
's
word
,
and
also
lessons
in
music
and
dancing
;
and
not
for
love
or
money
can
these
things
be
procured
in
the
country
.
"
Nothing
to
eat
,
yet
dancing
lessons
for
his
children
!
"
reflected
Chichikov
.
"
An
extraordinary
man
!
"
was
Platon
's
unspoken
comment
.
"
However
,
we
must
contrive
to
wet
our
bargain
somehow
,
"
continued
Khlobuev
.
"
Hi
,
Kirushka
!
Bring
that
bottle
of
champagne
.
"
"
Nothing
to
eat
,
yet
champagne
to
drink
!
"
reflected
Chichikov
.
As
for
Platon
,
he
did
not
know
WHAT
to
think
.
In
Khlobuev
's
eyes
it
was
de
rigueur
that
he
should
provide
a
guest
with
champagne
;
but
,
though
he
had
sent
to
the
town
for
some
,
he
had
been
met
with
a
blank
refusal
to
forward
even
a
bottle
of
kvass
on
credit
.
Only
the
discovery
of
a
French
dealer
who
had
recently
transferred
his
business
from
St.
Petersburg
,
and
opened
a
connection
on
a
system
of
general
credit
,
saved
the
situation
by
placing
Khlobuev
under
the
obligation
of
patronising
him
.
