It's no use crying for the moon. Poverty, they say, is no vice. 'How many serfs has your father? Arkady asked suddenly. 'The estate's not his, but mother's; there are fifteen serfs, if I remember.
I found that he was disposed to buy the estate's interest in these properties and finally sold it to him for one hundred thousand dollars. An additional consideration was the securing through him an investment of half the amount, for a period of ten years at a guaranteed return of ten per cent per annum. The Connecticut investment looked to me most unpromising.
Don't tell too much though; not who was to blame nor how, but just that it looks pretty bad so fur as the estate's concerned. Then say you want to see 'em again and will arrange another interview.

"But I should think she'd telegraph to you," said Blootch. "Telegraph yer granny! Do you s'pose they'd 'a' stole her if they intended to let her telegraph to anybody? Not much. They're spiritin' her away until her estate's settled. After a while it will all come out, an' you'll see if I ain't right. But she's gone.

But it's a good time to buy; and I'll buy your place and give it to Hollis if he'll settle down and work it."
