Character: Aristarkh Dominikovich Grandskubik

Aristarkh Dominicovich. And he remained a terrible stumbling block for everyone.

Aristarkh Dominicovich. I will tell you this, Maria Lukyanovna: live the same way your husband died, for he died a death worthy of imitation.

I didn’t cry when my mother died, my poor mother, Maria Lukyanovna. And now... and now... allow me, I will kiss you on behalf of everyone present. (Kisses.)
