"Silence! we will pay you for it in a way you never dreamed of: we will give you two golden ducats." "Oho! two ducats! I can't do anything with two ducats.

I give my barber two ducats for only shaving the half of my beard.

"If you don't, I will shout at once." "Why so much ?" said the Jew, sadly, turning pale, and undoing his leather purse; but it was lucky that he had no more in it, and that the heyduke could not count over a hundred.
"My lord, my lord, let us depart quickly! Look at the evil-minded fellow!" said Yankel to Taras, perceiving that the heyduke was turning the money over in his hand as though regretting that he had not demanded more.
"What do you mean, you devil of a heyduke ?" said Bulba.

"What do you mean by taking our money and not letting us see the Cossacks?
No, you must let us see them.
