- The Name-Day Party §85 Vostryakov nor Yakhontov nor Vladimirov nor Shevud
A roll call of district notables who have pointedly stayed away from Pyotr Dmitrich's name-day party -- Vostryakov and Vladimirov named earlier as the officials he insulted in his dissenting opinion (see loc 19), Yakhontov and Shevud named here for the only time -- meant by uncle Nikolai Nikolaich to demonstrate just how thoroughly Pyotr Dmitrich has alienated local society.
