There were vague rumours that he had once belonged to someone as a valet; but who he was, where he came from, who was his father, and how he had come to be one of the Shumihino people; in what way he had come by the fustian coat he had worn from immemorial times; where he lived and what he lived on on all these questions no one had the least idea; and, to tell the truth, no one took any interest in the subject.
Except Mitrofan and his family, and the old deaf churchwarden Gerasim, kept out of charity in a little room at the one-eyed soldier's widow's, not one man among the house-serfs had remained at Shumihino; for Styopushka, whom I intend to introduce to the reader, could not be classified under the special order of house-serfs, and hardly under the genus 'man' at all.
I looked at him more attentively, and recognised in him Styopushka of Shumihino. I must ask the reader's leave to present this man to him. A few miles from my place there is a large village called Shumihino, with a stone church, erected in the name of St. Kosmo and St. Damian.
