That
is
to
say
,
famine
had
made
its
appearance
in
one
portion
of
the
province
,
and
the
tchinovniks
sent
to
distribute
food
to
the
people
had
done
their
work
badly
;
in
another
portion
of
the
province
certain
Raskolniki
51
were
in
a
state
of
ferment
,
owing
to
the
spreading
of
a
report
than
an
Antichrist
had
arisen
who
would
not
even
let
the
dead
rest
,
but
was
purchasing
them
wholesale
--
wherefore
the
said
Raskolniki
were
summoning
folk
to
prayer
and
repentance
,
and
,
under
cover
of
capturing
the
Antichrist
in
question
,
were
bludgeoning
non-Antichrists
in
batches
;
lastly
,
the
peasants
of
a
third
portion
of
the
province
had
risen
against
the
local
landowners
and
superintendents
of
police
,
for
the
reason
that
certain
rascals
had
started
a
rumour
that
the
time
was
come
when
the
peasants
themselves
were
to
become
landowners
,
and
to
wear
frockcoats
,
while
the
landowners
in
being
were
about
to
revert
to
the
peasant
state
,
and
to
take
their
own
wares
to
market
;
wherefore
one
of
the
local
volosts52
,
oblivious
of
the
fact
that
an
order
of
things
of
that
kind
would
lead
to
a
superfluity
alike
of
landowners
and
of
superintendents
of
police
,
had
refused
to
pay
its
taxes
,
and
necessitated
recourse
to
forcible
measures
.
Hence
it
was
in
a
mood
of
the
greatest
possible
despondency
that
the
poor
Prince
was
sitting
plunged
when
word
was
brought
to
him
that
the
old
man
who
had
gone
bail
for
Chichikov
was
waiting
to
see
him
.
"
Show
him
in
,
"
said
the
Prince
;
and
the
old
man
entered
.
"
A
fine
fellow
your
Chichikov
!
"
began
the
Prince
angrily
.
"
You
defended
him
,
and
went
bail
for
him
,
even
though
he
had
been
up
to
business
which
even
the
lowest
thief
would
not
have
touched
!
"
"
Pardon
me
,
your
Highness
;
I
do
not
understand
to
what
you
are
referring
.
"
"
I
am
referring
to
the
matter
of
the
fraudulent
will
.
The
fellow
ought
to
have
been
given
a
public
flogging
for
it
.
"
"
Although
to
exculpate
Chichikov
is
not
my
intention
,
might
I
ask
you
whether
you
do
not
think
the
case
is
non-proven
?
At
all
events
,
sufficient
evidence
against
him
is
still
lacking
.
"
"
What
?
We
have
as
chief
witness
the
woman
who
personated
the
deceased
,
and
I
will
have
her
interrogated
in
your
presence
.
"
Touching
a
bell
,
the
Prince
ordered
her
to
be
sent
for
.
"
It
is
a
most
disgraceful
affair
,
"
he
went
on
;
"
and
,
ashamed
though
I
am
to
have
to
say
it
,
some
of
our
leading
tchinovniks
,
including
the
local
Governor
himself
,
have
become
implicated
in
the
matter
.
Yet
you
tell
me
that
this
Chichikov
ought
not
to
be
confined
among
thieves
and
rascals
!
"
Clearly
the
Governor-General
's
wrath
was
very
great
indeed
.
