Answer :

The line "Then only come to five dessiantins...." has been taken from Anton Chekhov's play 'The Proposal.'

One 'dessiatin' is equal to 2.7 acres. So, five dessiatins are equal to 13.5 acres.

According to Wikipedia, 'A dessiatin or desyatina (Russian: десятина) is an archaic land measurement used in tsarist Russia. A dessiatin is equal to 2400 square sazhens and is approximately equivalent to 2.702 English acres or 10,926.512 square metres.'
