When quite a pile had accumulated Ivan turned to Tarras and asked if he had rubbed enough leaves into money, whereupon Tarras replied: "Thank you, Ivan; that will be sufficient for this time." Ivan then said: "If you wish more, come to me and I will rub as much as you want, for there are plenty of leaves." Simeon's soldiers conquered a kingdom for him and Tarras-Briukhan made plenty of money.
Tarras next announced that he intended laying out gardens and erecting fountains, and the work was to be commenced in the fall, but no one came to offer his services, and again he was obliged to forego his intentions.
Tarras needed horses and sent a messenger to purchase them, but he returned with the same story as on former occasions that none were to be found, the "merchant" having bought them all to carry water for an artificial pond he was constructing. Tarras was at last compelled to suspend business, as he could not find any one willing to work for him. They had all gone over to the "merchant's" side.
"Very well," said Ivan; and he took some bread and went out as ordered, saying, "It is time for me to feed my mare." The small devil who had charge of Tarras finished with him that night, and according to agreement proceeded to the assistance of the other two to help them conquer Ivan.

Now they were high up on Tarras water, making for Liddel at a ford below the Castletown. There had been no time to warn the Elliots, but the odds were that Lariston and Mangerton would be out by morning. "Never heed the Elliots," cried young Harden.
Simeon said: "I have conquered a kingdom and enjoy a very pleasant life, but I have not sufficient money to procure food for my soldiers;" while Tarras confessed that he was the possessor of enormous wealth, but the care of it caused him much uneasiness.
If he hasna done that, it will hae been a braw windfa' for somebody, and I'll be finely flung. Come, Tarras," said he to his horse, striking him at the same time with his spur, "make mair fit, man; we maun be first on the field if we can."
It was an excessively awkward affair. It did not come "before the public," except, of course, in the agreeably mythical gossip of an evening paper. There was no more public scandal than that. Allen was merely ruined. The matter was introduced to the notice of the Wardens and the other Fellows of St. Jude's. What Lord Tarras saw, what Mr.
His estate was confiscated, and to-morrow he is to be executed. All that remains for me to do, therefore," concluded the young devil, "is to release him to-morrow morning. Now, then, who wants my assistance?" "I do not need any help," he began. "My business is also all right. My work with Tarras will be finished in one week. In the first place I made him grow thin.
"I know I promised," replied Ivan; "but still I must refuse to do as you wish." "But why, fool, will you not fulfill your promise?" asked Tarras. "For the reason that your gold was the means of depriving Mikhailovna of her cow." "But how did that happen?" inquired Tarras. "It happened in this way," said Ivan.
