When Cheprakov's mother sold, she stipulated for the right to live in one of the wings for another two years and got her son a job in the office. "Why shouldn't he buy?" said Cheprakov of the engineer. "He gets a lot from the contractors. He bribes them all." Then he took me to dinner, deciding in his emphatic way that I was to live with him in the wing and board with his mother.
Cheprakov's for myself and Masha, but it appeared that doves and pigeons had taken up their abode there and it would be impossible to cleanse it without destroying a great number of nests. We would have to live willy-nilly in the uncomfortable rooms with Venetian blinds in the big house.
Cheprakov's bailiff, fumbling with his cap; a lank fellow of about twenty-five, with a spotty face and little, impudent eyes; one side of his face was larger than the other as though he had been lain on. "Yes, Right Honourable Sir, you bought it without the furniture," he said sheepishly. "I remember that clearly."
We learned from Stiepan that Moissey had been Mrs. Cheprakov's lover. I noticed that when people went to her for money they used to apply to Moissey first, and once I saw a peasant, a charcoal-burner, black all over, grovel at his feet.
