"No, I am registered!" retorted Lichonin, beginning to lose patience. "And that's splendid. But the young lady, about whom you're troubling yourself?" "No, she's not registered as yet. But I have her blank in my possession, which, I hope, you'll exchange for a real passport for me, and then I'll register her at once." Kerbesh spread his arms out wide, then again began toying with the cigar case.
And finally, you yourself, Gavrila Petrovich expert of dead languages and future luminary of grave digging is the comparison, then, of the contemporary brothels, say, with some Pompeian lupanaria, or the institution of sacred prostitution in Thebes and Nineveh, not important and instructive to you? ..." "Bravo, Ramses, magnificent!" roared Lichonin.
"And that's splendid ... And fine and charming," Lichonin was saying, bustling about the lame table and without need shifting the tea things from one place to another. "For a long time, like an old crocodile, I haven't drunk tea as it should be drunk, in a Christian manner, in a domestic setting. Sit down, Liuba, sit down, my dear, right here on the divan, and keep house.
Lichonin, I, Borya Sobashnikov and Pavlov as jurists, Petrovsky and Tolpygin as medicos. True, Veltman has a distinct specialty mathematics. But then, he will be a pedagogue, a guide of youth, and, deuce take it, even a father! And if you are going to scare with a bugaboo, it is best to look upon it one's self first.

When we let off a girlie for a night we take ten roubles, and for the twenty-four hours twenty-five roubles. That's a tax, like. Don't you want a smoke, young man?" she stretched out her case, and Lichonin, without himself knowing why, took a cigarette.
"Why a sewing machine, in particular? I don't understand." "It's always that way in the novels, me soul. Just as soon as the hero has saved the poor, but lost, creature, he at once sets up a sewing machine for her." "Stop talking nonsense," Lichonin waved him away angrily with his hand. "Clown!"

Evidently, these good sides of my character are sufficiently known here, and because of that confidence is shown me." "Good for you, old fellow!" joyously exclaimed Lichonin, who was delighted by a certain peculiar, indolent negligence of few words, yet at the same time self-confident in the reporter. "Will you share the cognac with me also?"
Come here with some respectable person and with the police; and let the police certify that this friend of yours is a man of means; and let this man stand surety for you; and let, besides that, the police certify that you are not taking the girl in order to trade in her, or to sell her over to another stablishment then as you please! Hand and foot!" "The devil!" exclaimed Lichonin.
