The Commandant crossed himself, and Krantz proceeded: "My noble patron was, as you may imagine, rather alarmed; but he is very courageous in disposition, and he inquired of the old man who he was, and how he had come on board? "'I came on board with my own money, replied the spectre. It is all my own, and I shall keep it. The church shall never have one stiva of it if I can help it.
What secret can there be between Stiva and me?" Vronsky called the valet back, and told him to bring the telegram.
