"Do you want to talk about me? eh?"
"Yes—yes—about you, too, but presently. I've saved some money."
Ilya looked at him and laughed maliciously.
"What d'you mean? Why d'you laugh?" cried his uncle, frightened.
"Oh, nothing. Well, then, you've saved some money, have you?"
Ilya emphasised "saved."
"Yes, that's it," said Terenti, avoiding his look. "I shall give two hundred roubles to the monastery."
"O!"
"And a hundred to you."
