Well
,
what
of
Madame
Korobotchka
?
Is
she
a
young
woman
or
good
looking
?
"
"
Oh
dear
no
!
Quite
an
old
woman
.
"
"
Splendid
indeed
!
So
he
is
actually
engaged
to
a
person
like
that
?
One
may
heartily
commend
the
taste
of
our
ladies
for
having
fallen
in
love
with
him
!

Nevertheless
,
it
is
not
as
you
suppose
.
Think
,
now
!
Armed
with
weapons
from
head
to
foot
,
he
called
upon
this
old
woman
,
and
said
:
'
Sell
me
any
souls
of
yours
which
have
lately
died
.
'
Of
course
,
Madame
Korobotchka
answered
,
reasonably
enough
:
'
I
can
not
sell
you
those
souls
,
seeing
that
they
have
departed
this
world
;
'
but
he
replied
:
'
No
,
no
!
They
are
NOT
dead
.
'
Tis
I
who
tell
you
that
--
I
who
ought
to
know
the
truth
of
the
matter
.
I
swear
that
they
are
still
alive
.
'
In
short
,
he
made
such
a
scene
that
the
whole
village
came
running
to
the
house
,
and
children
screamed
,
and
men
shouted
,
and
no
one
could
tell
what
it
was
all
about
.
The
affair
seemed
to
me
so
horrible
,
so
utterly
horrible
,
that
I
trembled
beyond
belief
as
I
listened
to
the
story
.
'
My
dearest
madam
,
'
said
my
maid
,
Mashka
,
'
pray
look
at
yourself
in
the
mirror
,
and
see
how
white
you
are
.
'
'
But
I
have
no
time
for
that
,
'
I
replied
,
'
as
I
must
be
off
to
tell
my
friend
,
Anna
Grigorievna
,
the
news
.
'
Nor
did
I
lose
a
moment
in
ordering
the
koliaska
.
Yet
when
my
coachman
,
Andrusha
,
asked
me
for
directions
I
could
not
get
a
word
out
--
I
just
stood
staring
at
him
like
a
fool
,
until
I
thought
he
must
think
me
mad
.
Oh
,
Anna
Grigorievna
,
if
you
but
knew
how
upset
I
am
!
"
"
What
a
strange
affair
!
"
commented
the
hostess
.
"
What
on
earth
can
the
man
have
meant
by
'
dead
souls
'
?
I
confess
that
the
words
pass
my
understanding
.
Curiously
enough
,
this
is
the
second
time
I
have
heard
speak
of
those
souls
.
True
,
my
husband
avers
that
Nozdrev
was
lying
;
yet
in
his
lies
there
seems
to
have
been
a
grain
of
truth
.
"
"
Well
,
just
think
of
my
state
when
I
heard
all
this
!
'
And
now
,
'
apparently
said
Korobotchka
to
the
Archpriest
's
wife
,
'
I
am
altogether
at
a
loss
what
to
do
,
for
,
throwing
me
fifteen
roubles
,
the
man
forced
me
to
sign
a
worthless
paper
--
yes
,
me
,
an
inexperienced
,
defenceless
widow
who
knows
nothing
of
business
.
'
That
such
things
should
happen
!
TRY
and
imagine
my
feelings
!

In
my
opinion
,
there
is
in
this
more
than
the
dead
souls
which
meet
the
eye
.
"
"
I
think
so
too
,
"
agreed
the
other
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
her
friend
's
remark
had
struck
her
with
complete
surprise
,
as
well
as
filled
her
with
curiosity
to
know
what
the
word
"
more
"
might
possibly
signify
.
In
fact
,
she
felt
driven
to
inquire
:
"
What
do
YOU
suppose
to
be
hidden
beneath
it
all
?
"
"
No
;
tell
me
what
YOU
suppose
?
"
