"
By
God
,
I
DID
pay
ten
thousand
!
"
asserted
Nozdrev
.
"
You
can
swear
that
as
much
as
you
like
,
"
retorted
the
other
.
"
Will
you
bet
that
I
did
not
?
"
asked
Nozdrev
,
but
the
brother-in-law
declined
the
offer
.
Next
,
Nozdrev
showed
his
guests
some
empty
stalls
where
a
number
of
equally
fine
animals
(
so
he
alleged
)
had
lately
stood
.
Also
there
was
on
view
the
goat
which
an
old
belief
still
considers
to
be
an
indispensable
adjunct
to
such
places
,
even
though
its
apparent
use
is
to
pace
up
and
down
beneath
the
noses
of
the
horses
as
though
the
place
belonged
to
it
.
Thereafter
the
host
took
his
guests
to
look
at
a
young
wolf
which
he
had
got
tied
to
a
chain
.
"
He
is
fed
on
nothing
but
raw
meat
,
"
he
explained
,
"
for
I
want
him
to
grow
up
as
fierce
as
possible
.
"
Then
the
party
inspected
a
pond
in
which
there
were
"
fish
of
such
a
size
that
it
would
take
two
men
all
their
time
to
lift
one
of
them
out
.
"
This
piece
of
information
was
received
with
renewed
incredulity
on
the
part
of
the
brother-in-law
.
"
Now
,
Chichikov
,
"
went
on
Nozdrev
,
"
let
me
show
you
a
truly
magnificent
brace
of
dogs
.
The
hardness
of
their
muscles
will
surprise
you
,
and
they
have
jowls
as
sharp
as
needles
.
"
So
saying
,
he
led
the
way
to
a
small
,
but
neatly-built
,
shed
surrounded
on
every
side
with
a
fenced-in
run
.
Entering
this
run
,
the
visitors
beheld
a
number
of
dogs
of
all
sorts
and
sizes
and
colours
.
In
their
midst
Nozdrev
looked
like
a
father
lording
it
over
his
family
circle
.
Erecting
their
tails
--
their
"
stems
,
"
as
dog
fanciers
call
those
members
--
the
animals
came
bounding
to
greet
the
party
,
and
fully
a
score
of
them
laid
their
paws
upon
Chichikov
's
shoulders
.
Indeed
,
one
dog
was
moved
with
such
friendliness
that
,
standing
on
its
hind
legs
,
it
licked
him
on
the
lips
,
and
so
forced
him
to
spit
.
That
done
,
the
visitors
duly
inspected
the
couple
already
mentioned
,
and
expressed
astonishment
at
their
muscles
.
True
enough
,
they
were
fine
animals
.
Next
,
the
party
looked
at
a
Crimean
bitch
which
,
though
blind
and
fast
nearing
her
end
,
had
,
two
years
ago
,
been
a
truly
magnificent
dog
.
At
all
events
,
so
said
Nozdrev
.
Next
came
another
bitch
--
also
blind
;
then
an
inspection
of
the
water-mill
,
which
lacked
the
spindle-socket
wherein
the
upper
stone
ought
to
have
been
revolving
--
"
fluttering
,
"
to
use
the
Russian
peasant
's
quaint
expression
.
"
But
never
mind
,
"
said
Nozdrev
.
"
Let
us
proceed
to
the
blacksmith
's
shop
.
"
So
to
the
blacksmith
's
shop
the
party
proceeded
,
and
when
the
said
shop
had
been
viewed
,
Nozdrev
said
as
he
pointed
to
a
field
:
"
In
this
field
I
have
seen
such
numbers
of
hares
as
to
render
the
ground
quite
invisible
.
Indeed
,
on
one
occasion
I
,
with
my
own
hands
,
caught
a
hare
by
the
hind
legs
.
"
"
You
never
caught
a
hare
by
the
hind
legs
with
your
hands
!
"
remarked
the
brother-in-law
.
