He
would
like
to
give
play
to
his
imagination
,
and
follow
the
inspiration
of
his
genius
,
but
a
soldier
is
only
at
ease
in
the
guard-room
,
and
the
pen
stops
half-way
,
a
slave
to
discipline
.
How
delightful
!
The
first
time
I
met
an
example
of
this
handwriting
,
I
was
positively
astonished
,
and
where
do
you
think
I
chanced
to
find
it
?
In
Switzerland
,
of
all
places
!
Now
that
is
an
ordinary
English
hand
.
It
can
hardly
be
improved
,
it
is
so
refined
and
exquisite
--
almost
perfection
.
This
is
an
example
of
another
kind
,
a
mixture
of
styles
.
The
copy
was
given
me
by
a
French
commercial
traveller
.
It
is
founded
on
the
English
,
but
the
downstrokes
are
a
little
blacker
,
and
more
marked
.
Notice
that
the
oval
has
some
slight
modification
--
it
is
more
rounded
.
This
writing
allows
for
flourishes
;
now
a
flourish
is
a
dangerous
thing
!
Its
use
requires
such
taste
,
but
,
if
successful
,
what
a
distinction
it
gives
to
the
whole
!
It
results
in
an
incomparable
type
--
one
to
fall
in
love
with
!
"
302
"
Dear
me
!
How
you
have
gone
into
all
the
refinements
and
details
of
the
question
!
Why
,
my
dear
fellow
,
you
are
not
a
caligraphist
,
you
are
an
artist
!
Eh
,
Gania
?
"
303
"
Wonderful
!
"
said
Gania
.
"
And
he
knows
it
too
,
"
he
added
,
with
a
sarcastic
smile
.

"
You
may
smile
,
--
but
there
's
a
career
in
this
,
"
said
the
general
.
"
You
do
n't
know
what
a
great
personage
I
shall
show
this
to
,
prince
.
Why
,
you
can
command
a
situation
at
thirty-five
roubles
per
month
to
start
with
.
305
However
,
it
's
half-past
twelve
,
"
he
concluded
,
looking
at
his
watch
;
"
so
to
business
,
prince
,
for
I
must
be
setting
to
work
and
shall
not
see
you
again
today
.
Sit
down
a
minute
.
I
have
told
you
that
I
can
not
receive
you
myself
very
often
,
but
I
should
like
to
be
of
some
assistance
to
you
,
some
small
assistance
,
of
a
kind
that
would
give
you
satisfaction
.
I
shall
find
you
a
place
in
one
of
the
State
departments
,
an
easy
place
--
but
you
will
require
to
be
accurate
.
Now
,
as
to
your
plans
--
in
the
house
,
or
rather
in
the
family
of
Gania
here
--
my
young
friend
,
whom
I
hope
you
will
know
better
--
his
mother
and
sister
have
prepared
two
or
three
rooms
for
lodgers
,
and
let
them
to
highly
recommended
young
fellows
,
with
board
and
attendance
.
I
am
sure
Nina
Alexandrovna
will
take
you
in
on
my
recommendation
.
There
you
will
be
comfortable
and
well
taken
care
of
;
for
I
do
not
think
,
prince
,
that
you
are
the
sort
of
man
to
be
left
to
the
mercy
of
Fate
in
a
town
like
Petersburg
.
Nina
Alexandrovna
,
Gania
's
mother
,
and
Varvara
Alexandrovna
,
are
ladies
for
whom
I
have
the
highest
possible
esteem
and
respect
.
Nina
Alexandrovna
is
the
wife
of
General
Ardalion
Alexandrovitch
,
my
old
brother
in
arms
,
with
whom
,
I
regret
to
say
,
on
account
of
certain
circumstances
,
I
am
no
longer
acquainted
.
I
give
you
all
this
information
,
prince
,
in
order
to
make
it
clear
to
you
that
I
am
personally
recommending
you
to
this
family
,
and
that
in
so
doing
,
I
am
more
or
less
taking
upon
myself
to
answer
for
you
.
The
terms
are
most
reasonable
,
and
I
trust
that
your
salary
will
very
shortly
prove
amply
sufficient
for
your
expenditure
.
306
Of
course
pocket-money
is
a
necessity
,
if
only
a
little
;
do
not
be
angry
,
prince
,
if
I
strongly
recommend
you
to
avoid
carrying
money
in
your
pocket
.
But
as
your
purse
is
quite
empty
at
the
present
moment
,
you
must
allow
me
to
press
these
twenty-five
roubles
upon
your
acceptance
,
as
something
to
begin
with
.
Of
course
we
will
settle
this
little
matter
another
time
,
and
if
you
are
the
upright
,
honest
man
you
look
,
I
anticipate
very
little
trouble
between
us
on
that
score
.
Taking
so
much
interest
in
you
as
you
may
perceive
I
do
,
I
am
not
without
my
object
,
and
you
shall
know
it
in
good
time
.
You
see
,
I
am
perfectly
candid
with
you
.
I
hope
,
Gania
,
you
have
nothing
to
say
against
the
prince
's
taking
up
his
abode
in
your
house
?
"
307
"
Oh
,
on
the
contrary
!
my
mother
will
be
very
glad
,
"
said
Gania
,
courteously
and
kindly
.

I
think
only
one
of
your
rooms
is
engaged
as
yet
,
is
it
not
?
That
fellow
Ferd-Ferd
--
"
309
"
Ferdishenko
.
"
310
"
Yes
--
I
do
n't
like
that
Ferdishenko
.
I
ca
n't
understand
why
Nastasia
Philipovna
encourages
him
so
.
Is
he
really
her
cousin
,
as
he
says
?
