You Peters Burgers think yourselves
-
so de bon ton compared with dull, old-fashioned Moscow.
-
But we know how to do things.
-
Only the other day,
-
I hear Vasya Pryachnikov
-
fought a duel with Kvitsky and killed him.
-
Well, what...
-
What was the challenge about?
-
Pryachnikov's wife, naturally.
-
It was a matter of honor, defending a woman's honor.
-
Sounds like barbarism to me.
-
What if the lover had killed the husband?
