There is more than one short in the front alone, and as to the depth I shall see immediately." "The depth . . . seventy-three feet." "What? Have you guessed, you shaved, ugly face?" "Of course, Aristid Fomich! If you have eyes you can see a thing or two," shouted Vaviloff joyfully.

During the day the captain passed most of his time sitting on a kind of bench, made by himself by placing bricks against the wall of the court-yard, or else in the eating-house of Egor Yavilovitch, which was opposite the house, where he took all his meals and where he also drank vodki. Before renting this house, Aristid Kuvalda had kept a registry office for servants in the town.

Make a note of this on your nose, and pay me at least half your debt. Go in peace; seek, and you may find." "How much do I owe you, Aristid Fomich?" asks the client, in confusion.

All things are relative in this world, and a man cannot sink into any condition so bad that it could not be worse. One day, towards the end of September, Captain Aristid Kuvalda was sitting, as was his custom, on the bench near the door of the dosshouse, looking at the stone building built by the merchant Petunikoff close to Vaviloff's eatinghouse, and thinking deeply.

"One, two, three," counted Aristid Fomich; "our full number is thirty, the teacher is not here ... but probably many other outcasts will come. Let us calculate, say, twenty persons, and to every person two-and-a-half cucumbers, a pound of bread, and a pound of meat ... That won't be bad! One bottle of vodki each, and there is plenty of sour cabbage, and three watermelons.

Vaviloff's face lit up suddenly, and he smiled happily. "Aristid, Fomich, is it possible?" he shouted, when the Captain came opposite to him. "Of course it is possible.

Make a note of this on your nose, and pay me at least half your debt. Go in peace; seek, and you may find." "How much do I owe you, Aristid Fomich?" asks the client, in confusion.

I will do nothing of the sort. What do you mean, Aristid Fomich? Keep your appetite for the next feast! I am not afraid of you now ..." Kuvalda looked at the clock. "I give you ten minutes, Egorka, for your idiotic talk. Finish your nonsense by that time and give me what I demand. If you don't I will devour you! Kanets has sold you something?

Now then, the first toast... Come along!" They drank and shouted, and began to eat. "The teacher is not here... I have not seen him for three days. Has anyone seen him?" asked Kuvalda. "No one." "It is unlike ... Let us drink to the health of Aristid Kuvalda ... the only friend who has never deserted me for one moment of my life! Devil take him all the same!
