Early in the morning Chichikov has left hotel. In plans there was a new party of dead souls.

Fields rushed by. Soon Chichikov has appeared at Nozdryov's house.

Having entered the house, Chichikov was surprised. He has seen the Governor, the prosecutor and other persons of local society.

- Drag him on the stable and pour to him lashes! – the Governor has strictly ordered to local men.

Chichikov tried to be defended by a table. But tall men approached him closer and closer.

- On my order thirty thousand couriers are riding!

The heads of all have turned toward an open window. Using the happy moment, Chichikov has rushed to an exit.
