Something wrong with my stomach. But a fellow must be all right when his spirits are up. We'll be off as quick as we can. Taia haihaia hum. If the farce is bad, it's my last night of theatre-going."

In the result Chichikov received not only his papers, but also some warm clothing for his hypersensitive limbs.

She could go to New York, and she would let David know where she was and he would come up on business and perhaps take her to the theatre.
