Because
there
exists
no
greater
rogue
than
he
.
"
"
What
?
The
Governor
a
rogue
?
"
ejaculated
Chichikov
,
at
a
loss
to
understand
how
the
official
in
question
could
come
to
be
numbered
with
thieves
.
"
Let
me
say
that
I
should
never
have
guessed
it
.
Permit
me
also
to
remark
that
his
conduct
would
hardly
seem
to
bear
out
your
opinion
--
he
seems
so
gentle
a
man
.
"
And
in
proof
of
this
Chichikov
cited
the
purses
which
the
Governor
knitted
,
and
also
expatiated
on
the
mildness
of
his
features
.
"
He
has
the
face
of
a
robber
,
"
said
Sobakevitch
.
"
Were
you
to
give
him
a
knife
,
and
to
turn
him
loose
on
a
turnpike
,
he
would
cut
your
throat
for
two
kopecks
.
And
the
same
with
the
Vice-Governor
.
The
pair
are
just
Gog
and
Magog
.
"
"
Evidently
he
is
not
on
good
terms
with
them
,
"
thought
Chichikov
to
himself
.
"
I
had
better
pass
to
the
Chief
of
Police
,
which
whom
he
DOES
seem
to
be
friendly
.
"
Accordingly
he
added
aloud
:
"
For
my
own
part
,
I
should
give
the
preference
to
the
Head
of
the
Gendarmery
.
What
a
frank
,
outspoken
nature
he
has
!
And
what
an
element
of
simplicity
does
his
expression
contain
!
"
"
He
is
mean
to
the
core
,
"
remarked
Sobakevitch
coldly
.
"
He
will
sell
you
and
cheat
you
,
and
then
dine
at
your
table
.
Yes
,
I
know
them
all
,
and
every
one
of
them
is
a
swindler
,
and
the
town
a
nest
of
rascals
engaged
in
robbing
one
another
.
Not
a
man
of
the
lot
is
there
but
would
sell
Christ
.
Yet
stay
:
ONE
decent
fellow
there
is
--
the
Public
Prosecutor
;
though
even
HE
,
if
the
truth
be
told
,
is
little
better
than
a
pig
.
"
After
these
eulogia
Chichikov
saw
that
it
would
be
useless
to
continue
running
through
the
list
of
officials
--
more
especially
since
suddenly
he
had
remembered
that
Sobakevitch
was
not
at
any
time
given
to
commending
his
fellow
man
.
"
Let
us
go
to
luncheon
,
my
dear
,
"
put
in
Theodulia
Ivanovna
to
her
spouse
.
"
Yes
;
pray
come
to
table
,
"
said
Sobakevitch
to
his
guest
;
whereupon
they
consumed
the
customary
glass
of
vodka
(
accompanied
by
sundry
snacks
of
salted
cucumber
and
other
dainties
)
with
which
Russians
,
both
in
town
and
country
,
preface
a
meal
.
Then
they
filed
into
the
dining-room
in
the
wake
of
the
hostess
,
who
sailed
on
ahead
like
a
goose
swimming
across
a
pond
.
The
small
dining-table
was
found
to
be
laid
for
four
persons
--
the
fourth
place
being
occupied
by
a
lady
or
a
young
girl
(
it
would
have
been
difficult
to
say
which
exactly
)
who
might
have
been
either
a
relative
,
the
housekeeper
,
or
a
casual
visitor
.
Certain
persons
in
the
world
exist
,
not
as
personalities
in
themselves
,
but
as
spots
or
specks
on
the
personalities
of
others
.
Always
they
are
to
be
seen
sitting
in
the
same
place
,
and
holding
their
heads
at
exactly
the
same
angle
,
so
that
one
comes
within
an
ace
of
mistaking
them
for
furniture
,
and
thinks
to
oneself
that
never
since
the
day
of
their
birth
can
they
have
spoken
a
single
word
.
