The Carriage 1836 or The Coach in some translations is a short story by Nikolai Gogol , one of his shortest works. After reading it, Anton Chekhov wrote to Alexei Suvorin , What an artist he is His Carriage alone is worth two hundred thousand rubles . Sheer delight, nothing less. ref cite book title The Sexual Labyrinth of Nikolai Gogol author Simon Karlinsky publisher University of Chicago Press year 1992 pages 132 isbn 0226425274 url ref Plot summary The story opens in the town of B., where things used to be drab, depressing and boring until a cavalry regiment moved into the area. Once this occurs the area becomes lively and full of color, with local landowners coming into town frequently to meet up with officers and have various gatherings and parties. One of the landowners, Pythagoras Chertokutsky, is at a party at the general s house. He mentions he has a splendid coach that he paid around four thousand rubles for, and the men wish to see it someday, so he invites them to dinner on the following day. During the party, he gets caught up in playing cards and forgets the time, getting home around four in the morning. Because of this, he forgets to tell his wife about the party and is roused from sleep when his wife sees some carriages approaching their house. He at once remembers the party, but has his servants tell everyone that he is gone for the day, hiding in the coach. The general and his friends are upset at his absence, but decide to see the coach anyway and go to the carriage house to see it. They aren t impressed with the coach and look at it thoroughly, wondering if maybe there is something special hidden inside. They open the apron inside the coach and find Chertokutsky hiding therein. The general simply exclaims Ah, you are here, slams the door and covers him up again with the apron.
