With considerable difficulty the magis- trate in question was got out of bed ; and at last the postmaster and himself presented themselves to us in their grandest outfit, having evidently made us wait longer than was necessary, that they might show them- selves off to the best advantage. The postmaster apo- logized by saying, that he was a hard sleeper, so much so, that his maid-of-all-work had positive orders to keep stirring him till he rose, and even then not to leave him till he was half dr...essed ; but that the damsel, in her eagerness to satisfy our Cossack, had not sufficiently shaken him that morning. To prove the truth of his statement and the sincerity of his regret, he offered to trounce the girl on the spot ; and, though we then and there denied him that pleasure, yet he most probably paid the fair delinquent with interest after our depar- ture. The obvious truth was, that the two gentlemen, having heard that strangers, who were very great men, were coming up the Lena, had conspired to manage 346 OVERLAND JOURNEY matters in such a way as to enable each of themselves to see and be seen.
