Then we'll write out a statement that such and such notes are due, and that we'll pay twenty-five kopeks on the ruble:

When one comesespecially if he is rather richyou jump out and do some trick, and one gives you five kopeks, and another ten: with that you take breath for a day and so exist.

I need ten kopeks.

You used to roam the town and pick up kopeks.

They ask twenty-five kopeks. PODKHALYÚZIN.

And the other day, when I fell from the steeple, Agraféna Kondrátyevna gave me ten kopeks; I won twenty-five kopeks at heads and tails; and day before yesterday the boss forgot and left one whole ruble on the counter.

As it is, I'll add five kopeks more.
