Or don't you want to be a drabant? said Olenin, glad that it had entered his head to give a horse to Lukashka, though, without knowing why, he felt uncomfortable and confused and did not know what to say when he tried to speak. Lukashka was the first to break the silence. 'Have you a house of your own in Russia? he asked.
The waggish crowd pressed upon them from all sides, and while the funeral car with its canopy, its cortége, and its banners surrounded the door, one of the buxom wenches fell upon the neck of the drabant and kissed and hugged him, while a giant raven with a pointed beak forced his tankard on the headsman's assistant, and compelled him to drain it to the dregs, finally bonneting him with the empty tankard.
The carnival was also an apprentice, and he certainly had one of the very best billets, for all he had to do was to lie still and drink. When the carnival's funeral procession arrived in front of the cloister of the Jesuits, the two armed watchmen, the drabant and the headsman's assistant, were still standing there, one on each side of the door.
Meanwhile the gates of the Jesuit cloisters were watched day and night, so that Valentine might not escape. There were two persons who made it their special business to watch the cloister: Augustus Zwirina, who sent a drabant, and Henry Catsrider, who sent one of his own apprentices. The headsman had another reason, besides mere personal vengeance, for cutting off Valentine's head.
