This Arachne who has drawn out and sucked more marriages, more families in the seed, more hearts, more Christians then there are lepers in all the lazar houses or Christendom. Burn, torment this fiend this vampire who feeds on souls, this tigerish nature that drinks blood, this amorous lamp in which burns the venom of all the vipers.
BOLSHÓV. All right, Lázar; make it over to him; he's a young man with understanding, and he has some capital. RISPOLÓZHENSKY. What do you want, Samsón Sílych, a mortgage-deed or a purchase-deed? BOLSHÓV. Whichever you can get at the lowest interest rate'll suit me. But do the thing up brown and I'll give you such a fee, Sysóy Psoich, as'll fairly make your hair curl.
Suppose you do send one there, Lázar, that doesn't do you any good; some of 'em will hold on so that you can't smoke 'em out. "I'm all right here," they say, "you go hang!" Isn't that so, Lázar? PODKHALYÚZIN. Just so, that's the way it happens. BOLSHÓV. Always notes, notes! But what on earth is a note? Absolutely nothing but paper, if I may say so. But do as you please here!
At other people's it's easy-going; if you get into mischief now and then, they make allowances for your youth. But at our house if it isn't he, then it's somebody else; either the old man or the old woman will give you a hiding; otherwise there's the clerk Lázar, or there's Fomínishna, or there's any old rascal can lord it over you. What a cursed life it is!
Only a kind of ignorant swine could fail to feel that. I bow down to your feet, Lázar Elizárych! PODKHALYÚZIN. Really now, what for, sir? Only, Sysóy Psoich, don't run about like a chicken with its head cut off, but go in for accuracy straight to the point, and walk the line. Do you understand, sir? RISPOLÓZHENSKY. How can I help understanding? Why, Lázar Elizárych, do you think I'm still a boy?
We'll have birds of paradise on the ceilings, sirens, various Coopids people'll pay good money just to look at it. LÍPOCHKA. They don't paint Coopids any more nowadays. LÍPOCHKA. Why don't you talk French, Lázar Elizárych? LÍPOCHKA. Let me think. PODKHALYÚZIN. Think about what, ma'am? LÍPOCHKA. How can I help thinking? PODKHALYÚZIN. Why, you don't need to think!
Aubrey has left me again, and I am quite alone, not that I was much better off when he was here, for he was wont, of late, to shun my poor room like a "lazar house," and when I spoke to his mother about it, she muttered something about "example" and "corrupting."
BOLSHÓV. I need money, Lázar, money. There's nothing else to fix it with. Either money or Siberia. PODKHALYÚZIN. And I'll give you money, sir, if you'll only let up. As it is, I'll add five kopeks more. BOLSHÓV. What have we come to! Have you any Christian feeling in you? I need twenty-five kopeks, Lázar! PODKHALYÚZIN. No, daddy, that's a good deal, sir; by heaven, that's a good deal!
There was no escape. I had to lay down my paper and let them torture me. There was a striking family resemblance between the two, yet the daughter was as homely as the mother was pretty. "She isn't as prepossessing as her ma, of course," the older woman seemed to be saying to me, "but she's charming, all the same, isn't she?" Miss Lazar was watching me at a respectful distance. Mrs.
