That's a matter of course. I am well dressed\nand reckoned not a poor man; the emancipation of the serfs\nhasn't affected me; my property consists chiefly of forests and\nwater meadows. The revenue has not fallen off; but ... I am\nnot going to see them, I was sick of them long ago. I've been\nhere three days and have called on no one. . . . What a town it\nis! How has it come into existence among us, tell me that? A\ntown of officials and students of all sorts. Yes, there's a great\ndeal I didn't notice when I was here eight years ago, kicking up\nmy heels. . . .

Then\nMarfa Petrovna turned up; she bargained with him and bought\nme off for thirty thousand silver pieces (I owed seventy thou-\nsand). We were united in lawful wedlock and she bore me off\ninto the country like a treasure. You know she was five years\nolder than I. She was very fond of me. For seven years I never\nleft the country. And, take note, that all my life she held a\ndocument over me, the i.o.u. for thirty thousand roubles, so if I\nwere to elect to be restive about anything I should be trapped\nat once! And she would have done it! Women find nothing in-\ncompatible inthat.\"\n\"If it hadn't been for that, would you have given her the\nslip?\"\n\"I don't know what to say. It was scarcely the document\nrestrained me. I didn't want to go anywhere else.
