Biography of Zakhara from Oblomov
Zakhar was fifty years old for fifty-five years he walked in the white world with confidence that everything that he was doing, otherwise it was better, could not be in the room an elderly man, my hands were clean, ”Zakhar remarked, showing some two soles instead of his hands, he even grinned, so that the bacenbard rose to the side, he again grinned, from which the buckwheat and armored were raised to the sides He liked the gray frock coat and vests because in this semi-formed clothes he saw the weak memory of the livery, which he once wore, escorting the deceased gentlemen to the church or on a visit [as soon as his legs drag me?
