For you, brother, the one who flatters you last is the best! Without any question, the men of our time are better educated, but still Feódor Ivánovitch could dance the schottische, and was so amiable that everybody in his day, you might say, was stupid compared to him! only he did not care for any one else beside me. Oh, certainly there were fine men in the old time!

There now, just like you, brother! You never do things right. We ought to have had supper prepared.... Liza, attend to it, that's my darling.

How much sherry is there? Haven't you any left, brother?
gpt
No, sister; I never have had any.
human
What! no sherry? but what is it you drink in your tea?
gpt
That is rum, Anna Fedorovna.

Isn't that the same thing? Give them some of that. It is all the same, it'll make no difference. Or would it not be better to invite them down here, brother? You know all about it. They would not be offended, I imagine, would they?
