I’ll have a fine wedding. I 
won’t do it this year, for I am 
in debt. I have to pay my 
landlord his money, and what 
I’m to do for it, I can’t say. 
C. — That’s it. As they say, “ not 
enough oil for an itchy spot, 
and he keeps a light in the 
stable.” Don’t you do like 
that. If it won’t be this year, 
don’t trouble yourself. Next 
year we’ll see about it ; when 
you will be out of debt. 
D. — Dear me, C, you are a groat 
hand at speaking proverbs, but 
you understand nothing else, 
and are making a difficulty 
about debts. His daughter is 
also getting very old. Is it 
not so (i. e., will you not see 
to this). And besides marri- 
ages can’t be next year. If 
it won’t be this year, then it’s 
postponed to the year after 
next. 
C. — It’s unlucky, isn’t it, dear ? 
But what can one do ? It 
will be the (old) story. (Let 
mo see.) How does it run ? 
“ His name is Moti Chand 
(The Magnificent), and he 
hasn’t as much lustre as is 
in a seed of cotton.” That’s 
what it will bo. Less than 
a month ago, a cow and a 
buffalo of his had each a calf, 
and they’re all dead already. 
He’s reaping tho fi-uits of his 
sins (committed in a former 
life). 
D. — Good luck has left us, my love. 
There are some terrible wit-
