To the great boyar’s mansion

Wends his way the Elder, Anton,

In his bosom he carries

For the boyar his monthly tallies;

The boyar looks on with vacant face,

He can make nothing of this case;

Oh, Anton you’ve cleaned the boyar out,

Of that there is no doubt;

Through you the village has naught to eat,

While the Elder’s wife is replete.

Having thus acquainted my reader with the ethnographic and statistical position of Goryukhino and with the customs and habits of its inhabitants, I shall now proceed to the narrative itself.
