SHISHGÁLEV. No, we haven't.
BABÁYEV. But where do the members of the court and the rest of them spend their time?
SHISHGÁLEV. They usually spend it together.
BABÁYEV. How together?
SHISHGÁLEV. Every day is assigned. For instance, to-day they are with the prefect, to-morrow with the judge, day after to-morrow with the attorney; then with the farmer of the spirit tax, and next with the retired police captain—and so all the week goes by.
BABÁYEV. At what time do they meet?
SHISHGÁLEV. About six o'clock.
BABÁYEV. What do they do then?
SHISHGÁLEV. They play preference.
BABÁYEV. And what else, certainly not only preference?
