Well, he's the very one.

What one?

I tell you that he's that very same hussar duellist,--let me see, the famous Turbin. He knew me. I'll wager he knew me. I assure you, at Lebedyan he and I were on a spree for three weeks, and were never sober once. That was when I lost my remount. There was one little affair at that time,--we were engaged in it together. Ah, he is a gay lad! isn't he, though?

Indeed he is. What pleasant manners he has! There's no fault to be found with him, replied the handsome young man.

How quickly we became acquainted!... He isn't more than twenty-two, is he?

He certainly would not seem so, would he?... But he's really more than that. Well, now you want to know who he is, don't you? Who carried off Megunova? He did. He killed Sablin. He kicked Matnyef out of the window. He 'did' Prince Nesterof out of three hundred thousand rubles. He's a regular madcap. You ought to know him,--a gambler, duellist, seducer, but a whole-souled fellow, a genuine hussar. We got talked about a good deal, but if any one really understood what it meant to be a genuine hussar! Those were great times.
