She asked timidly: "Whom do you mean, Zinaida Grigorievna?" "Whom else could I mean but Mr. Trirodov," replied Doulebova malignantly. The malice was all on Trirodov's account, but nevertheless Poterina trembled with fear. "Ah, yes, Trirodov; how then, how then...." she repeated in a worried, flustered way, and was at a loss what to say.
Instructor Mouralov's wife took advantage of an opportune moment to speak to Doulebova. She cautiously stole up to her when she saw her standing aside and told her that Poterin took bribes. Separate phrases and words were distinguished from the rest of the conversation. "Have you noticed, Zinaida Grigorievna?" "What's that?" "Our inspector is parading in gloves." "Yes?" "Gloves! Yellow ones!"
"What of that?" "Out of bribes." Zinaida Grigorievna was overjoyed, and grew animated. For a long time the whispers of the malicious women were audible, and between their whispers their hissing, snake-like laughter.
