i wont have any coffee today,praskovya osipovna, said ivan yakovlevich.instead, i would like to eat a bit of hot bread with onion.(that to say, ivan yakovlevich would have liked both the one and the other, but he knew that it was guite impossible to demand two things at once, for praskovya osipovna very much deslike such whims.) "let the fool eat the bread;all the better for me, the wife thought to herself, there will be an extra cup of coffee left".and she threw a loaf onto the table.
