Truth is Good, But Happiness is Better

However, the girl loves Platon Zybkin, a clerk who is honest but poor and owes the master two hundred rubles. Platon faces imprisonment for debt. With the help of Poliksena’s nurse, who decides to aid the lovers, a new watchman appears in the house—former non-commissioned officer Sila Yerofeyevich Groznov, who was once Mavra Tarasovna's lover.
