"Probably there are signs of . . ." "Now, then, ask someone here to carry him out!" the Police Inspector ordered Kuvalda. "Go and ask them yourself! He is not in my way here . . ." the Captain replied, indifferently. "Well!" . . . shouted the Inspector, making a ferocious face. "Phew!" answered Kuvalda, without moving from his place and gnashing his teeth restlessly.
Now then, the first toast . . . Come along!" They drank and shouted, and began to eat. "The teacher is not here . . . I have not seen him for three days. Has anyone seen him?" asked Kuvalda. "No one." "It is unlike . . . Let us drink to the health of Aristid Kuvalda . . . the only friend who has never deserted me for one moment of my life! Devil take him all the same!
"Though I have his money ... still I shall not bury him." "That is not right. You are robbing the dead. I will tell them all that you want to keep his money...." Tyapa threatened him. "You are a fool, you old devil!" said Kuvalda, contemptuously. "I am not a fool ... but it is not right nor friendly." "Enough! Be off!" "How much money is there?" "Twenty-five roubles, ..." said Kuvalda, absently.
Every one of them felt keen animosity towards all those who were well fed and well dressed, but in some of them this feeling was only beginning to develop. Burning interest was felt by those "creatures that once were men" in the prospective fight between Kuvalda and Petunikoff, which they already saw in imagination.
He saw the tall figure of Aristid Fomich Kuvalda, in a grey cap with a red band, with his arms bound behind his back, being led away. Petunikoff smiled the smile of the conqueror, and went back into the dosshouse, but suddenly he stopped and trembled.

Give. . . ." "Go to the Devil! . . . I am going to spend this money in erecting a monument to him." "What does he want that for?" "I will buy a stone and an anchor.

And Kuvalda did not cease to belabour him with his tongue, as he snatched the blue parchment from his hands. Then, spreading the papers out in front of him, and excited all the more by Vaviloff's inquisitiveness, the Captain began reading and bellowing at the same time.
But by this time the two policemen had arrived, and pointing to Kuvalda, the Inspector said, pompously: "Arrest him, and bind him hand and foot!" "You dare not! . . . I shall not run away . . . I will go wherever you wish, . . ." said Kuvalda, freeing himself from the policemen at his side. The "creatures that once were men" disappeared one after the other. A cart entered the yard.
This youngster had long hair and a weak face, with prominent cheekbones and a turned-up nose. He was dressed in a blue blouse without a waistband, and on his head he wore the remains of a straw hat, while his feet were bare. "You are a fool!" decided Aristid Kuvalda. "what are you knocking about here for?
