And
,
had
you
the
money
,
what
should
you
do
with
it
?
"
"
I
should
rent
a
tenement
,
and
devote
myself
to
the
education
of
my
children
.
Not
a
thought
should
I
give
to
myself
,
for
my
career
is
over
,
seeing
that
it
is
impossible
for
me
to
re-enter
the
Civil
Service
and
I
am
good
for
nothing
else
.
"
"
Nevertheless
,
when
a
man
is
leading
an
idle
life
he
is
apt
to
incur
temptations
which
shun
his
better-employed
brother
.
"
"
Yes
,
but
beyond
question
I
am
good
for
nothing
,
so
broken
is
my
health
,
and
such
a
martyr
I
am
to
dyspepsia
.
"
"
But
how
do
you
propose
to
live
without
working
?
How
can
a
man
like
you
exist
without
a
post
or
a
position
of
any
kind
?
Look
around
you
at
the
works
of
God
.
Everything
has
its
proper
function
,
and
pursues
its
proper
course
.
Even
a
stone
can
be
used
for
one
purpose
or
another
.
How
,
then
,
can
it
be
right
for
a
man
who
is
a
thinking
being
to
remain
a
drone
?
"
"
But
I
should
not
be
a
drone
,
for
I
should
employ
myself
with
the
education
of
my
children
.
"
"
No
,
Semen
Semenovitch
--
no
:
THAT
you
would
find
the
hardest
task
of
all
.
For
how
can
a
man
educate
his
children
who
has
never
even
educated
himself
?
Instruction
can
be
imparted
to
children
only
through
the
medium
of
example
;
and
would
a
life
like
yours
furnish
them
with
a
profitable
example
--
a
life
which
has
been
spent
in
idleness
and
the
playing
of
cards
?
No
,
Semen
Semenovitch
.
You
had
far
better
hand
your
children
over
to
me
.
Otherwise
they
will
be
ruined
.
Do
not
think
that
I
am
jesting
.
Idleness
has
wrecked
your
life
,
and
you
must
flee
from
it
.
Can
a
man
live
with
nothing
to
keep
him
in
place
?
Even
a
journeyman
labourer
who
earns
the
barest
pittance
may
take
an
interest
in
his
occupation
.
"
"
Athanasi
Vassilievitch
,
I
have
tried
to
overcome
myself
,
but
what
further
resource
lies
open
to
me
?
Can
I
who
am
old
and
incapable
re-enter
the
Civil
Service
and
spend
year
after
year
at
a
desk
with
youths
who
are
just
starting
their
careers
?
Moreover
,
I
have
lost
the
trick
of
taking
bribes
;
I
should
only
hinder
both
myself
and
others
;
while
,
as
you
know
,
it
is
a
department
which
has
an
established
caste
of
its
own
.
Therefore
,
though
I
have
considered
,
and
even
attempted
to
obtain
,
every
conceivable
post
,
I
find
myself
incompetent
for
them
all
.
Only
in
a
monastery
should
I
--
"
"
Nay
,
nay
.
Monasteries
,
again
,
are
only
for
those
who
have
worked
.
To
those
who
have
spent
their
youth
in
dissipation
such
havens
say
what
the
ant
said
to
the
dragonfly
--
namely
,
'
Go
you
away
,
and
return
to
your
dancing
.
'
Yes
,
even
in
a
monastery
do
folk
toil
and
toil
--
they
do
not
sit
playing
whist
.
"
Murazov
looked
at
Khlobuev
,
and
added
:
"
Semen
Semenovitch
,
you
are
deceiving
both
yourself
and
me
.
