In Gloumovs case, that means panÂderÂing to the dotty wealthy patrons and disÂtant relÂaÂtives who hover over him at each sucÂceedÂing level, and by wooÂing their frusÂtrated wives and their curiÂous daughÂters.
His only obstaÂcle' The hubris of his youth, his abidÂing self-confidence, and, above all, his damnable clevÂerÂness which allow him to risk losÂing all his ill-gotten gains by keepÂing a detailed diary of his actual goals and his true feelÂings toward the many peoÂple he is deceivÂing along the way.
