It is hard to say how it could have happened so quickly, especially as she had hitherto been irreproachable in her behaviour in spite of many opportunities and temptations to deceive her husband. However that may have been, Naum began to be frequently seen in Akim's yard.
"But, however," he went on in a singsong voice, "we will take our leave; we are thoroughly satisfied, it is time for bed, ..." and he got up. "We are well satisfied, too," Akim brought out and he got up, "for your entertainment, that is, but we wish you a good night. Avdotyushka, come along." Avdotya got up as it were unwillingly. Naum, too, got up after her ... the party broke up.
"Why, he keeps saying such funny things," she said, without any particular embarrassment. The old merchant grinned. "Ha, ha, yes, my Naum is such a funny fellow, don't listen to him." "Oh! Really! As though I should," she answered, and shook her head. "Ha, ha, of course not," observed the old man.
Akim stood as though struck by a thunderbolt. "Robber," he moaned at last, "robber.... Heigh, Fedka, Mitka, wife, wife, seize him, seize him hold him." He lost his head completely. "Mind now, old man," said Naum menacingly, "mind what you are about, don't play the fool...." "Beat him, wife, beat him!" Akim kept repeating in a tearful voice, trying helplessly and in vain to get up.
Kat oetsits, none, I have none. Naum`, a bow. Stoo-an, a knife. Sassoopats, ammunition. Meenee, beads. Poommees, fat. Miss ta poot, keep off. Saw, no. Stwee, cold; it is cold. Ahseeu, good." On the 6th of February, we accompanied Mr.

But you are laying a great burden on your soul. Well, if you are in such a hurry, let us start." Naum in his turn looked keenly at Akim. "After all," he thought to himself, "hadn't I better let him go?
Akim gazed at him open-eyed. "What crazy stuff is it you are talking? One would think you had gone silly," he said at last. "How the devil can it be yours?" "What's the good of talking to you?" cried Naum impatiently. "Do you see this bit of paper?" he went on, pulling out of his pocket a sheet of stamped paper, folded in four, "do you see?
Now you can ruin me, only I tell you this: if you let me go now, then so be it take possession of everything! I agree and wish you all success. I promise you as before God, if you let me go you will not regret it. God be with you." Akim shut his eyes and ceased speaking. "A likely story!" retorted Naum, "as though one could believe you!" "But, by God, you can," said Yefrem, "you really can.

People like Naum quickly get rich ... but to the magnificent position in which he found himself and he was believed to be worth forty or fifty thousand roubles Naum Ivanov had not arrived by the strait path....
The inn was on your mistress's land, so it was hers. The money was yours, certainly; but you were, so to say, so kind as to present it to me; and I am grateful to you and will even give it back to you on occasion if occasion arises; but you wouldn't expect me to remain a beggar, would you?" Naum said all this very calmly and even with a slight smile.
