person
Mr. Bubentsov
Bubentsov
also: Бубенцов, господин Бубенцов
A local gentleman who passes Makar Denisych on the road in his trap and greets him with mocking condescension as "Mr. Writer"; a former justice of the peace who by his own conduct heard cases carelessly and talked nonsense, yet who reserves his real contempt for Makar's harmless, unpublished literary ambitions.
