"
And
what
good
would
they
be
to
you
?
"
asked
his
hostess
,
staring
at
him
with
her
eyes
distended
.
"
That
is
MY
affair
.
"
"
But
they
are
DEAD
souls
.
"
"
Who
said
they
were
not
?
The
mere
fact
of
their
being
dead
entails
upon
you
a
loss
as
dead
as
the
souls
,
for
you
have
to
continue
paying
tax
upon
them
,
whereas
MY
plan
is
to
relieve
you
both
of
the
tax
and
of
the
resultant
trouble
.
NOW
do
you
understand
?
And
I
will
not
only
do
as
I
say
,
but
also
hand
you
over
fifteen
roubles
per
soul
.
Is
that
clear
enough
?
"
"
Yes
--
but
I
do
not
know
,
"
said
his
hostess
diffidently
.
"
You
see
,
never
before
have
I
sold
dead
souls
.
"
"
Quite
so
.
It
would
be
a
surprising
thing
if
you
had
.
But
surely
you
do
not
think
that
these
dead
souls
are
in
the
least
worth
keeping
?
"
"
Oh
,
no
,
indeed
!
Why
should
they
be
worth
keeping
?
I
am
sure
they
are
not
so
.
The
only
thing
which
troubles
me
is
the
fact
that
they
are
DEAD
.
"
"
She
seems
a
truly
obstinate
old
woman
!
"
was
Chichikov
's
inward
comment
.
"
Look
here
,
madam
,
"
he
added
aloud
.
"
You
reason
well
,
but
you
are
simply
ruining
yourself
by
continuing
to
pay
the
tax
upon
dead
souls
as
though
they
were
still
alive
.
"
"
Oh
,
good
sir
,
do
not
speak
of
it
!
"
the
lady
exclaimed
.
"
Three
weeks
ago
I
took
a
hundred
and
fifty
roubles
to
that
Assessor
,
and
buttered
him
up
,
and
