“Tell me, dad,� said the young man, taking a puff, “are there any marriageable young girls in this town?�
The old caretaker did not show the least surprise.
“For some a mare’d be a bride,� he answered, readily striking up a conversation.
“I have no more questions,� said the young man quickly. And he immediately asked one more: “A house like this and no girls in it?�
“It’s a long while since there’ve been any young girls here,� replied the old man. “This is a state institution � a home for old-age women pensioners.�
“I see. For ones born before historical materialism?�
“That’s it. They were born when they were born.�
In the first side street Ippolit Matveyevich leaned against Liza and began to paw her. Liza fought him off.
“Stop it!� she cried. “Stop it! Stop it!�
“Let’s go to a hotel,� Vorobyaninov urged.
Liza freed herself with difficulty and, without taking aim, punched the lady-killer on the nose. The pince-nez with the gold nose-piece fell to the ground and, getting in the way of one of the square-toed baronial boots broke with a crunch.
The evening breeze
Sighs through the trees
Choking back her tears, Liza ran home down Silver Lane.
Loud and fast
Flows the Gualdalquivir.

دو نفری نوشتن برخلاف آنچه عملیاتِ ساده� ریاضی نشان میدهد� نه تنها دو برابر آسانت� نیست، بلکه ده برابر مشکلت� است. این نه جمع ساده� دو نیرو، بلکه مبارزه� بیوقفه� دو نیرو بود. مبارزها� فرساینده و در عین حال ثمربخش.
رمان دوازده صندلی با واکنشِ بسیار سردِ مقاماتِ شوروی روبهر� شد و بخشها� بسیاری از آن را سانسور کردند. سانسور رمان در ده سال بعد پیوسته کاملت� میش� تا جایی که در برخی از چاپه� حجم کتاب به یک سوم حجم اصلی رسید.
