Dead Souls

CHAPTER IV
11/65

However, friend Chichikov, it is a pity you were not there.

Had you been there, I feel sure you would have found yourself unable to part with Lieutenant Kuvshinnikov.

You and he would have hit it off splendidly.

You know, he is quite a different sort from the Public Prosecutor and our other provincial skinflints--fellows who shiver in their shoes before they will spend a single kopeck.

HE will play faro, or anything else, and at any time.
Why did you not come with us, instead of wasting your time on cattle breeding or something of the sort?
But never mind.
