4.He considered his words as the source of Lushkoff's changed ways. Yes, he was right in saying so. Otherwise Lushkoff would still have been lying and begging.
5. Since Lushkoff has been working as a notary. He is earning thirty-five roubles a month. He is obliged to Sergei for giving him a job of chopping wood which has changed him from a beggar to a notary.
6.During their conversation, Lushkoff revealed that Olga saved him. When he went to Sergei's house to chop wood, Olga began by calling him a 'miserable creature' and saying that there was nothing for him but ruin. Then she sat down opposite him, grew sad, looked into his face, and wept. She called him an 'unlucky man', 'a drunkard', and 'unhappy one' and said that there was no pleasure for him in this world.
