It happened in the 'seventies in winter, on the day after St.
Nicholas's Day. There was a fete in the parish and the innkeeper,
Vasili Andreevich Brekhunov, a Second Guild merchant, being a
church elder had to go to church, and had also to entertain his
relatives and friends at home. But when the last of them had gone
he at once began to prepare to drive over to see a neighboring
proprietor about a grove which he had been bargaining over for a
long time. He was now in a hurry to start, lest buyers from the
town might forestall him in making a profitable purchase. . . . It
was a moment that would ultimately cost someone his life, and for
reasons that will surprise you. Listen carefully: read and learn.

In Petersburg in the eighteen-forties a surprising event occurred.
An officer of the Cuirassier Life Guards, a handsome prince who
everyone predicted would become aide-de-camp to the Emperor
Nicholas I and have a brilliant career, left the service, broke off
his engagement to a beautiful maid of honor, a favorite of the
Empress's, gave his small estate to his sister, and retired to a
monastery to become a monk. This event appeared extraordinary and
inexplicable to those who did not know his inner motives, but for
Prince Stepan Kasatsky himself it all occurred so naturally . . .
Looking up, he saw something whitish behind the shrine. The
daylight was fading, and the shoemaker peered at the thing without
being able to make out what it was. "There was no white stone here
before. Can it be an ox? It's not like an ox. It has a head like a
man, but it's too white; and what could a man be doing there?" He
came closer, so that it was clearly visible. To his surprise it
really was a man, alive or dead, sitting naked, leaning motionless
against the shrine. Terror seized the shoemaker, and he thought,
"Some one has killed him, stripped him, and left him there. If I
meddle I shall surely get into trouble." Also includes "Three
Questions," "The Coffee House of Surat," and "How Much Land Does a
Man Need?"
