Traveling to take up this new post, Grinyov loses his shirt gambling and then loses his way in a terrible snowstorm, only to be guided to safety by a mysterious peasant.

Vedendo le mie esercitazioni di geografia, il babbo mi tirò un orecchio…
Allora egli si offrì d'insegnarmi a giocare al biliardo. «Questo, – egli diceva, – è indispensabile per noialtri militari. Durante una campagna, per esempio, arrivi in un paesetto; di che ti vuoi occupare? Non si può mica sempre picchiare gli ebrei. Per forza vai alla trattoria e ti metti a giocare al biliardo; e per questo bisogna saper giocare!»
