Upon
that
Chichikov
begged
her
to
accord
the
gentleman
in
question
a
power
of
attorney
,
while
,
to
save
extra
trouble
,
he
himself
would
then
and
there
compose
the
requisite
letter
.
"
It
would
be
a
fine
thing
if
he
were
to
buy
up
all
my
meal
and
stock
for
the
Government
,
"
thought
Madame
to
herself
.
"
I
must
encourage
him
a
little
.
There
has
been
some
dough
standing
ready
since
last
night
,
so
I
will
go
and
tell
Fetinia
to
try
a
few
pancakes
.
Also
,
it
might
be
well
to
try
him
with
an
egg
pie
.
We
make
then
nicely
here
,
and
they
do
not
take
long
in
the
making
.
"
So
she
departed
to
translate
her
thoughts
into
action
,
as
well
as
to
supplement
the
pie
with
other
products
of
the
domestic
cuisine
;
while
,
for
his
part
,
Chichikov
returned
to
the
drawing-room
where
he
had
spent
the
night
,
in
order
to
procure
from
his
dispatch-box
the
necessary
writing-paper
.
The
room
had
now
been
set
in
order
,
the
sumptuous
feather
bed
removed
,
and
a
table
set
before
the
sofa
.
Depositing
his
dispatch-box
upon
the
table
,
he
heaved
a
gentle
sigh
on
becoming
aware
that
he
was
so
soaked
with
perspiration
that
he
might
almost
have
been
dipped
in
a
river
.
Everything
,
from
his
shirt
to
his
socks
,
was
dripping
.
"
May
she
starve
to
death
,
the
cursed
old
harridan
!
"
he
ejaculated
after
a
moment
's
rest
.
Then
he
opened
his
dispatch-box
.
In
passing
,
I
may
say
that
I
feel
certain
that
at
least
SOME
of
my
readers
will
be
curious
to
know
the
contents
and
the
internal
arrangements
of
that
receptacle
.
Why
should
I
not
gratify
their
curiosity
?
To
begin
with
,
the
centre
of
the
box
contained
a
soap-dish
,
with
,
disposed
around
it
,
six
or
seven
compartments
for
razors
.
Next
came
square
partitions
for
a
sand-box
17
and
an
inkstand
,
as
well
as
(
scooped
out
in
their
midst
)
a
hollow
of
pens
,
sealing-wax
,
and
anything
else
that
required
more
room
.
Lastly
there
were
all
sorts
of
little
divisions
,
both
with
and
without
lids
,
for
articles
of
a
smaller
nature
,
such
as
visiting
cards
,
memorial
cards
,
theatre
tickets
,
and
things
which
Chichikov
had
laid
by
as
souvenirs
.
This
portion
of
the
box
could
be
taken
out
,
and
below
it
were
both
a
space
for
manuscripts
and
a
secret
money-box
--
the
latter
made
to
draw
out
from
the
side
of
the
receptacle
.
Chichikov
set
to
work
to
clean
a
pen
,
and
then
to
write
.
Presently
his
hostess
entered
the
room
.
"
What
a
beautiful
box
you
have
got
,
my
dear
sir
!
"
she
exclaimed
as
she
took
a
seat
beside
him
.
"
Probably
you
bought
it
in
Moscow
?
"
"
Yes
--
in
Moscow
,
"
replied
Chichikov
without
interrupting
his
writing
.
"
I
thought
so
.
One
CAN
get
good
things
there
.
Three
years
ago
my
sister
brought
me
a
few
pairs
of
warm
shoes
for
my
sons
,
and
they
were
such
excellent
articles
!
To
this
day
my
boys
wear
them
.
And
what
nice
stamped
paper
you
have
!
"
(
she
had
peered
into
the
dispatch-box
,
where
,
sure
enough
,
there
lay
a
further
store
of
the
paper
in
question
)
.
"
Would
you
mind
letting
me
have
a
sheet
of
it
?
I
am
without
any
at
all
,
although
I
shall
soon
have
to
be
presenting
a
plea
to
the
land
court
,
and
possess
not
a
morsel
of
paper
to
write
it
on
.
"
Upon
this
Chichikov
explained
that
the
paper
was
not
the
sort
proper
for
the
purpose
--
that
it
was
meant
for
serf-indenturing
,
and
not
for
the
framing
of
pleas
.
Nevertheless
,
to
quiet
her
,
he
gave
her
a
sheet
stamped
to
the
value
of
a
rouble
.
Next
,
he
handed
her
the
letter
to
sign
,
and
requested
,
in
return
,
a
list
of
her
peasants
.
Unfortunately
,
such
a
list
had
never
been
compiled
,
let
alone
any
copies
of
it
,
and
the
only
way
in
which
she
knew
the
peasants
'
names
was
by
heart
.
However
,
he
told
her
to
dictate
them
.
Some
of
the
names
greatly
astonished
our
hero
,
so
,
still
more
,
did
the
surnames
.
