During Mass, you know, when I look out from the altar and see my congregation, Avraamy starving, and my wife, and think of the doctor's wife how blue her hands were from the cold water would you believe it, I forget myself and stand senseless like a fool, until the sacristan calls to me. . . . It's awful!" Father Yakov began walking about again.
"Then I have not yet paid up all that I owe to the consistory for my place here. They charged me two hundred roubles for the living, and I was to pay ten roubles a month. . . . You can judge what is left! And, besides, I must allow Father Avraamy at least three roubles a month." "What Father Avraamy?" "Father Avraamy who was priest at Sinkino before I came.
I must make haste and help them, I must make haste!" He turned from side to side uneasily, pressed his temples and racked his brains. And I'll help Father Avraamy too. . . ."
Oh, how useful those wasted rouble, three-rouble, ten-rouble notes would have been now! "Father Avraamy lives on three roubles a month!" thought Kunin. "For a rouble the priest's wife could get herself a chemise, and the doctor's wife could hire a washerwoman. But I'll help them, anyway! I must help them."
