The Glimmer of Hunger
Sergei Matveyevich Moshkin had dined very well that day -- that is comparatively well -- when you stop to consider that he was only a village schoolmaster who had lost his place, and had been knocking about already a year or so on strange stairways, in search of work. Nevertheless, the glimmer of hunger persisted in his dark, sad eyes, and it gave his lean, smooth face a kind of unlooked-for significance.
