All right. I'll take it away. The boss said if you didn't want it, you needn't take it. KHLESTAKOV (putting his hand over the dishes). Well, well, leave it alone, you fool. You may be used to treat other people this way, but I'm not that sort. I advise you not to try it on me. My God! What soup! (Goes on eating.) I don't think anybody in the world tasted such soup. Feathers floating on the top instead of butter. (Cuts the piece of chicken in the soup.) Oh, oh, oh! What a bird!--Give me the roast beef. There's a little soup left, Osip. Take it. (Cuts the meat.) What sort of roast beef is this? This isn't roast beef.
