You know, he is quite a different sort from the Public Prosecutor and our other provincial skinflints fellows who shiver in their shoes before they will spend a single kopeck. HE will play faro, or anything else, and at any time. Why did you not come with us, instead of wasting your time on cattle breeding or something of the sort? But never mind. Embrace me. I like you immensely.
"At the back of our cottage, near the bush that bears the red berries, a pot is buried," she said. "Dig it up and take it home with you and when you have a kopeck drop it in. It is a good pot." The stripling understood. He stooped and kissed the hand of Anna, and Big Ivan patted him upon the back. They were brother dreamers and they understood each other.
Look here, brother-in-law. Pay her, will you, for I have not a kopeck left." "How much?" inquired the brother-in-law. "What, sir? Eighty kopecks, if you please," replied the old woman. "A lie! Give her half a rouble. That will be quite enough." "No, it will NOT, barin," protested the old woman. However, she took the money gratefully, and even ran to the door to open it for the gentlemen.
Where is Heaven's justice where is the reward for all my patience, for my boundless perseverance? Three times did I have to begin life afresh, and each time that I lost my all I began with a single kopeck at a moment when other men would have given themselves up to despair and drink. How much did I not have to overcome. How much did I not have to bear!
Another tax, also for the maintenance of the newly-organized Government schools, was levied one kopeck and a half per page! on text-books, whether imported from abroad or published in Vilna or Zhitomir, and the text-books were published with unnecessarily large type and wide margins to increase the number of pages. Hence the reaction became more and more formidable.
Mr. prefers the upper West Side, while Mrs. has a tidy little Louis XVI flat on Eleventh Street. Incidentally the family mansion remains at Fifth Avenue. "Mr. and Mrs. Kopeck Louis d'Or Jones are not going to Newport this summer. There is a persistent rumor that Mrs. Jones will remain with her mother on the Hudson, while her husband's plans are quite indefinite."
Uncle John didn't say we had to show them ten thousand in coin at the end of the year; he said I had to make it on the books. We can spend every kopeck of it, if we want to. And I was about to say that with six thousand dollars left over from the mortgage money, we'll have a maid after all. Yea, verily, even a cook."
"What's the odds? ..." "Get fifty roubles for me at once." "Tamarochka, my sweetheart I haven't a kopeck! ..." "I'm telling you get them!" ordered Tamara, imperiously, but without getting angry. "Oh, my Lord! ... Yours, now, I didn't touch, like I promised; but then, it's Sunday ... The savings banks are closed..." "Let them! ... Hock the savings book! In general, it's up to you!"
They clutch at nutshells and all sorts of nastiness, knock their heads together, but do not find the kopeck. They begin looking again, and look till Vasya takes the lamp out of Grisha's hands and puts it in its place. Grisha goes on looking in the dark. But at last the kopeck is found. The players sit down at the table and mean to go on playing. "Sonya is asleep!" Alyosha announces.
Representing to the workingmen how much this measure would contribute to the sanitation of the locality and the improvement of the general condition of all, the manager gave orders to deduct a kopeck from every ruble of their earnings, in order to cover the expense of draining the marsh.
