"No, by and by: ne vous derangez pas."
Nevertheless, not heeding him, I hastened to the closed tent, where stood my bed, and where the captain was sleeping.
"Aleksei Ivanuitch, let me have ten rubles, please, for rations," said
I to the captain, shaking him.
"What! have you been losing again? But this very evening, you were not going to play any more," murmured the captain, still half asleep.
"No, I have not been playing; but I want the money; let me have it, please."
"Makatiuk!" shouted the captain to his servant, [Footnote: Denshchik.] "hand me my bag with the money."
"Hush, hush!" said I, hearing Guskof's measured steps near the tent.
"What? Why hush?"
"Because that cashiered fellow has asked to borrow it of me. He's right there."
"Well, if you knew him, you wouldn't let him have it," remarked the captain. "I have heard about him. He's a dirty, low-lived fellow."
