Reading notes
- A Problem §20 discount forged notes bearing the signatures of their parents or acquaintances
Sasha frames the forgery as a routine, almost fashionable practice among his set of young men -- discount a note under a relative's or acquaintance's signature, then quietly redeem it before maturity once family money arrives -- which is offered as extenuation but also indicts the wider circle (Khandrikov, von Burst) to which he belongs.
