That is not a good sign. Sooner or later I shall have to pay for it." And he relapsed into melancholy. "Just listen to the fellow!" was Chichikov's and the President's joint inward comment. "What on earth has HE to complain of?" "I have a letter for you, Ivan Grigorievitch," went on Chichikov aloud as he produced from his pocket Plushkin's epistle. "From whom?" inquired the President.
"But Ivan Grigorievitch alone will not do it is customary to have others as well." "Yes, but the absence of others will not altogether invalidate the transaction. I too have been in the service, and know how things can be done." "You had better go and see Ivan Grigorievitch," said Ivan Antonovitch more mildly.
"That's not your business!" he shouted at last with unnatural loudness. "Kindly make the declaration demanded of you. Show him. Alexandr Grigorievitch. There is a complaint against you! You don't pay your debts! You're a fine bird!" But Raskolnikov was not listening now; he had eagerly clutched at the paper, in haste to find an explanation.
And Alexey Sergeitch was very much put out about it, but I said to him: "Alexis," said I, "please don't you be put out; you ought to know me better!" And he answered me: "Don't disturb yourself, Melanie!" And these very diamonds are now round my medallion of Alexey Grigorievitch you've seen it, I dare say, my dear; I wear it on feast-days on a St.
But as soon as I did land on this place, I soon got to know all your affairs all, all, brother, I know everything; Nastasya here will tell you. I made the acquaintance of Nikodim Fomitch and Ilya Petrovitch, and the house-porter and Mr. Zametov, Alexandr Grigorievitch, the head clerk in the police office, and, last, but not least, of Pashenka; Nastasya here knows...."
Doulebov asked with a frown: "Surely they are not always like that?" "Always, Vladimir Grigorievitch," replied Trirodov. "They have got used to it." "But it is indecent!" said Madame Doulebova. "It is the one thing that is decent," retorted Trirodov. The windows of the house in the small glade were wide open. The twitter of birds was audible and the fresh, delicious aroma of flowers entered in.
And then Alexyéi Sergyéitch was greatly dismayed; but I said to him: 'Alexis, I said to him, 'please do not be dismayed; thou shouldst know me better! And he answered me: 'Be at ease, Mélanie! And those same diamonds I now have encircling a medallion of Alexyéi Grigórievitch I think, my dear, that thou hast seen me wear it on my shoulder on festival days, on a ribbon of St.
And in reply Alexyéi Sergyéitch made such a wonderful obeisance, and swept the plume of his hat along the floor from left to right ... as much as to say: 'There is a line drawn now, Your Radiance, between you and my spouse which you must not step across! And Orlóff, Alexyéi Grigórievitch, immediately understood and lauded him. Oh, what a man he was! What a man!
"But why not tell Ivan Grigorievitch precisely what you have bought?" inquired Sobakevitch of Chichikov. "And why, Ivan Grigorievitch, do YOU not ask Monsieur Chichikov precisely what his purchases have consisted of? What a splendid lot of serfs, to be sure! I myself have sold him my wheelwright, Michiev." "What? You have sold him Michiev?" exclaimed the President. "I know the man well.
The reason of this was that the President had given orders that only half the usual charges were to be exacted from the present purchaser the remaining half being somehow debited to the account of another applicant for serf registration. "And now," said Ivan Grigorievitch when all was completed, "we need only to wet the bargain." "For that too I am ready," said Chichikov.
