Quotes from this book

Fyodor Pavlovitch, for instance, began with next to nothing; his estate was of the smallest; he ran to dine at other men’s tables, and fastened on them as a toady, yet at his death it appeared that he had a hundred thousand roubles in hard cash.
But he was one of those senseless persons who are very well capable of looking after their worldly affairs, and, apparently, after nothing else.
