If it had not been you who said it, Ivan Ivanovitch, I might have put an insulting construction on it." "What defect have you observed in the sow?" "For what do you take me for a sow?"

"Why should you trust me?" I demanded. "I slept through the time when I was needed. And when I wakened and found myself locked in the storeroom, I waited to take the lock off instead of breaking down the door!
Not a sound was to be heard in the storeroom but the dripping of the fat from a side of bacon hanging from the rafters, and which the great heat there was causing it to melt.
