Why are you putting on your coat?
gpt
How can I appear before you without it, 'slency? You see we can understand
human
I have come to ask you why you need to sell a horse? Have you many horses? What horse do you wish to sell?
gpt
We are greatly beholden to you, 'slency, that you do not think it beneath you to visit me, a mere peasant, replied Yukhvanka, casting hasty glances at the general's portrait, at the stove, at the prince's boots, and every thing else except Nekhliudof's face.
human
We always pray God for your 'slency.
gpt
Why sell the horse?
human
Scat, you rubbish! and quickly addressed himself to the bárin.
gpt
A horse, 'slency, which ain't worth any thing. If the beast was good for any thing, I shouldn't think of selling him, 'slency.
human
How many horses have you in all?
gpt
Three horses, 'slency.
human
No colts?
gpt
Of course, 'slency. There is one colt.
human
Come, show me your horses. Are they in the yard?
gpt
Indeed they are, 'slency. I have done as I was told, 'slency. Could we fail to heed you, 'slency? Yakof Ilyitch told me not to send the horses out to pasture. 'The prince,' says he, 'is coming to look at them,' and so we didn't send them. For, of course, we shouldn't dare to disobey you, 'slency.
