There must be at least several hundred thousand seats, so that there can be no crowd. Only those who cannot pay the few kopecks, the Tschornoi Narod, or "the black brood of the people," will form the movable mass, and the police will have to restrain them.
"I know that she is generous with blows, but her money is another thing. I have never seen the colour of that." "Well, would you like to see the colour of mine?" said Ivan, getting more and more drunk.

Rye flour is seventy kopecks a pood, while on the other side of Tomsk it was twenty-five and twenty-seven kopecks per pood, and wheaten flour thirty kopecks. The tobacco sold in Siberia is vile and loathsome; I tremble because mine is nearly done. ... I am travelling with two lieutenants and an army doctor who are all on their way to the Amur.

Godfrey went to see how the women were getting on with the boat.
Kisilyov, the artist, is living in the same yard too. We go walks together in the evenings and discuss philosophy.... BOGIMOVO, July 24, 1891. ... Thanks for the five kopecks addition. Alas, it will not settle my difficulties! To save up a reserve, as you write, and extricate myself from the abyss of halfpenny anxieties and petty terrors, there is only one resource left me an immoral one.

"We do not consider such a tax just!" Pavel replied loudly. "So, in my plan to drain the marsh you see only a desire to exploit the workingmen and not a desire to better their conditions; is that it?" "Yes!" Pavel replied. "And you, also?" the manager asked Rybin. "The very same!" "How about you, my worthy friend?" The manager turned to Sizov. "I, too, want to ask you to let us keep our kopecks."
I subscribed twenty kopecks myself. And would you believe it? It appears now that there was no old woman called Tarapygin living in the almshouse at all!
