But the fares they asked were prohibitive to any but " Comrades. " A cabman in a provincial town once answered, when expostulated with on the sum he demanded : " Why, I'm only charging you sixty roubles, because I see you are a 160 HUNGRY PETROGRAD miserable 4 boorjooee ' (bourgeois) and can't afford more. If you were a commissar, now, cr some other of the aristocracy, I should ask double ! " In Petro- grad no one but the new aristocracy could afford cabs even at the beginning of winter, and as... the nights grew longer and colder, cabs became yet rarer and fares higher. Many of the horses were already eaten, and with the lapse of time the claims of the knacker became harder to resist. Besides, forage was so dear and so difficult to procure as to make it almost im- possible to keep horses profitably, not to mention that harness will frequently need minor repairs, cushions require patching, wheels greasing; and where was leather to come from, and needle and cotton, and oil ? Towards the end of October these were the ruling prices in Petrograd : Beef, 20 Rs.
