There is a wind, though. . . . Brrr! said Samoylenko.

There must be a pretty stiff storm on the sea now! You are not going off at a nice time, Koyla.
human
I'm not afraid of sea-sickness.
gpt
That's not the point. . . . I only hope these rascals won't upset you. You ought to have crossed in the agent's sloop. Where's the agent's sloop?
human
It has gone, Your Excellency.
gpt
And the Customs-house boat?
human
That's gone, too.
gpt
Why didn't you let us know, said Samoylenko angrily.
human
You dolts!
gpt
It's all the same, don't worry yourself . . . said Von Koren.
human
Well, good-bye. God keep you.
gpt
Don't forget us, Kolya. . . . Write. . . . We shall look out for you next spring.
human
Good-bye, deacon, said Von Koren, shaking hands with the deacon.
gpt
Thank you for your company and for your pleasant conversation. Think about the expedition.
human
Oh Lord, yes! to the ends of the earth, laughed the deacon.
gpt
I've nothing against it.
