"Good-bye, good-bye, my friend, good-bye." "You'll see Fyodor Matveyevitch, sir..." "Yes, my friend, yes... Fyodor Petrovitch... only good-bye." "You see, my friend... you'll allow me to call myself your friend, n'est-ce pas?" Stepan Trofimovitch began hurriedly as soon as the trap started. "You see I...
