There's the number of the ticket too. "9,499?" she asked, turning pale and dropping the folded tablecloth on the table. His wife looked at his astonished and panicstricken face, and realized that he was not joking. "Masha, 9,499 is there!" he said in a hollow voice.

Unable to believe his eyes, he hurriedly dropped the paper on his knees without looking to see the number of the ticket, and, just as though some one had given him a douche of cold water, he felt an agreeable chill in the pit of the stomach tingling and terrible and sweet!
