And
though
God
alone
knows
whether
my
efforts
will
be
successful
,
at
all
events
I
hope
to
bring
about
a
mitigation
of
your
sentence
.
Come
,
let
me
embrace
you
!
How
you
have
filled
my
heart
with
gladness
!
With
God
's
help
,
I
will
now
go
to
the
Prince
.
"
And
the
next
moment
Chichikov
found
himself
alone
.
His
whole
nature
felt
shaken
and
softened
,
even
as
,
when
the
bellows
have
fanned
the
furnace
to
a
sufficient
heat
,
a
plate
compounded
even
of
the
hardest
and
most
fire-resisting
metal
dissolves
,
glows
,
and
turns
to
the
liquefied
state
.
"
I
myself
can
feel
but
little
,
"
he
reflected
,
"
but
I
intend
to
use
my
every
faculty
to
help
others
to
feel
.
I
myself
am
but
bad
and
worthless
,
but
I
intend
to
do
my
utmost
to
set
others
on
the
right
road
.
I
myself
am
but
an
indifferent
Christian
,
but
I
intend
to
strive
never
to
yield
to
temptation
,
but
to
work
hard
,
and
to
till
my
land
with
the
sweat
of
my
brow
,
and
to
engage
only
in
honourable
pursuits
,
and
to
influence
my
fellows
in
the
same
direction
.
For
,
after
all
,
am
I
so
very
useless
?
At
least
I
could
maintain
a
household
,
for
I
am
frugal
and
active
and
intelligent
and
steadfast
.
The
only
thing
is
to
make
up
my
mind
to
it
.
"
Thus
Chichikov
pondered
;
and
as
he
did
so
his
half-awakened
energies
of
soul
touched
upon
something
.
That
is
to
say
,
dimly
his
instinct
divined
that
every
man
has
a
duty
to
perform
,
and
that
that
duty
may
be
performed
here
,
there
,
and
everywhere
,
and
no
matter
what
the
circumstances
and
the
emotions
and
the
difficulties
which
compass
a
man
about
.
And
with
such
clearness
did
Chichikov
mentally
picture
to
himself
the
life
of
grateful
toil
which
lies
removed
from
the
bustle
of
towns
and
the
temptations
which
man
,
forgetful
of
the
obligation
of
labour
,
has
invented
to
beguile
an
hour
of
idleness
that
almost
our
hero
forgot
his
unpleasant
position
,
and
even
felt
ready
to
thank
Providence
for
the
calamity
which
had
befallen
him
,
provided
that
it
should
end
in
his
being
released
,
and
in
his
receiving
back
a
portion
of
his
property
.
Presently
the
massive
door
of
the
cell
opened
to
admit
a
tchinovnik
named
Samosvitov
,
a
robust
,
sensual
individual
who
was
reputed
by
his
comrades
to
be
something
of
a
rake
.
Had
he
served
in
the
army
,
he
would
have
done
wonders
,
for
he
would
have
stormed
any
point
,
however
dangerous
and
inaccessible
,
and
captured
cannon
under
the
very
noses
of
the
foe
;
but
,
as
it
was
,
the
lack
of
a
more
warlike
field
for
his
energies
caused
him
to
devote
the
latter
principally
to
dissipation
.
Nevertheless
he
enjoyed
great
popularity
,
for
he
was
loyal
to
the
point
that
,
once
his
word
had
been
given
,
nothing
would
ever
make
him
break
it
.
At
the
same
time
,
some
reason
or
another
led
him
to
regard
his
superiors
in
the
light
of
a
hostile
battery
which
,
come
what
might
,
he
must
breach
at
any
weak
or
unguarded
spot
or
gap
which
might
be
capable
of
being
utilised
for
the
purpose
.
"
We
have
all
heard
of
your
plight
,
"
he
began
as
soon
as
the
door
had
been
safely
closed
behind
him
.
"
Yes
,
every
one
has
heard
of
it
.
But
never
mind
.
Things
will
yet
come
right
.
We
will
do
our
very
best
for
you
,
and
act
as
your
humble
servants
in
everything
.
Thirty
thousand
roubles
is
our
price
--
no
more
.
"
"
Indeed
!
"
said
Chichikov
.
"
And
,
for
that
,
shall
I
be
completely
exonerated
?
"
"
Yes
,
completely
,
and
also
given
some
compensation
for
your
loss
of
time
.
"
