“ Cher , I feel as though I were in a dream myself.⁠ ⁠… Savez-vous! Il a prononcé le nom de Telyatnikof , and I believe that that man was concealed in the entry. Yes, I remember, he suggested calling the prosecutor and Dmitri Dmitritch, I believe⁠ ⁠… qui me doit encore quinze roubles I won at cards, soit dit en passant. Enfin, je n’ai pas trop compris. But I got the better of them, and what do I care for Dmitri Dmitritch? I believe I begged him very earnestly to keep it quiet; I begged him particularly, most particularly. I am afraid I demeaned myself, in fact, comment croyez-vous? Enfin il a consenti. Yes, I remember, he suggested that himself⁠—that it would be better to keep it quiet, for he had only come ‘to have a look round’ et rien de plus , and nothing more, nothing more⁠ ⁠… and that if they find nothing, nothing will happen. So that we ended it all en amis, je suis tout à fait content .”
