Un grand crivain, monsieur, un grand crivain!' Only once, when Ivan Matveitch told him that 'les thophilanthropes ont eu pourtant du bon!' the old man cried in an excited voice, 'Monsieur de Kolontouskoi' (he hadn't succeeded in the course of twenty years in learning to pronounce his patron's name correctly), 'Monsieur de Kolontouskoi!
