'Give me back my money, she said, 'I have changed my mind; if I must go to ruin I won't do it by halves, I'll have my fling! Be quick, you scoundrel, give me my money! A disgraceful scene!" "And you . . . gave it her?" "I gave her, I remember, ten roubles." "Oh!
Your uncle shot himself this very morning. I was told at two this afternoon. Half the town must know it by now. They say there are three hundred and fifty thousand roubles, government money, missing; some say five hundred thousand. And I was under the impression that he would leave you a fortune!

You came and told me about it one morning, and then went off to Petersburg. There, NOW do you understand?" "Oh h h! You mean the four hundred roubles!" said Lebedeff, dragging the words out, just as though it had only just dawned upon him what the prince was talking about. "Thanks very much, prince, for your kind interest you do me too much honour. I found the money, long ago!" "You found it?
