“ Sighing profoundly, Udodoff sits down beside his son and opens the boy's ragged grammar. Ziboroff begins examining Pete before his father, thinking to himself: "I'll just show that stupid father what a stupid son he has ! " The high-school boy is seized with the fury of the examiner and is ready to beat the little red-cheeked numskull before him, he hates and despises him so. He is even annoyed when the youngster hits on the right answer to one of his questions. How odious this little Pete seems to him ! ”
Anton Chekhov

Quotes from The Tutor (Anton Chekhov)
“ Oh, yes, yes— " mutters Udodoff. "I would certainly let you have the money with pleasure, but I'm sorry to say I haven't any just now. Perhaps in a week—or two." Ziboroff acquiesces, puts on his heavy goloshes, and goes out to give his next lesson. ”
