He'd come up to you like this, and say: "Koman voo porty voo?" and then a box on the ear! 'But I'd give him one in the belly with my fist' 'But he'd go on: "Bonzhur, bonzhur, veny ici," and then a cuff on the head. 'And I'd give him one in his legs, his bandy legs. 'You're quite right, their legs are bandy.... Well, but suppose he tied your hands? 'I wouldn't let him; I'd call Mihay the coachman to help me. 'But, Vasya, suppose you weren't a match for the Frenchy even with Mihay? 'Not a match for him!
