FAMUSOV
Whom God approves, he raises high.
SKALOZUB
Our brigadier was raised much higher.
FAMUSOV
Mercy. Don’t tell me you’re dissatisfied.
SKALOZUB
No, no. I cannot say I’ve been denied
my just deserts; but still and all,
it took two years to get my regiment.
FAMUSOV
Two years to reach the rank of colonel?
But never mind. It shows you’re patient.
Moreover, you’ll be first in line
next time; no one else will stand a chance.
SKALOZUB
Wrong. Others have priority.
I joined the corps in eighteen-nine,
But channels other than seniority
can serve to bring about advancement.
I’m philosophical. In the event,
a general’s bars would suit me fine.
