"As soon as he has done so I will see that copies be sent to each of the men in London who have subscribed, and they will no doubt prosecute Yakowleff for fraud. In any case, he is ruined and cast out, so he no longer stands in our path." "Excellent!" said Protopopoff. "Does Klouieff know?" "Of course not.
