With his fortune, his good looks and his youth, his many brilliant qualities, his wit, his taste, and his unfailing gaiety he appeared in Petersburg not as a toady and fortune-hunter, but as a man in a fairly independent position.
Еще молодой, красавец собою, с состоянием, одаренный многими блестящими качествами, несомненным остроумием, вкусом, неистощимою веселостью, он явился не как искатель счастья и покровительства, а довольно самостоятельно.

Fyodor Pavlovitch, for instance, began with next to nothing; his estate was of the smallest; he ran to dine at other men's tables, and fastened on them as a toady, yet at his death it appeared that he had a hundred thousand roubles in hard cash.
Федор Павлович, например, начал почти что ни с чем, помещик он был самый маленький, бегал обедать по чужим столам, норовил в приживальщики, а между тем в момент кончины его у него оказалось до ста тысяч рублей чистыми деньгами.

Some young men cannot be in your service for three years without becoming hypocrites, toadies, sneaks...
Иной молодой человек не прослужит и трех лет, как становится лицемером, подлипалой, ябедником...

For his friends and cronies, he had a pompous old schoolmaster, who flattered him, and a toady, his senior, whom he could thrash.
Его друзьями и наперсниками были напыщенный старый школьный учитель, льстивший мальчику, и подлиза, который был несколько его старше и которого он мог колотить.

He is fond of playing cards, but only with people of a lower standing; they toady him with 'Your Excellency' in every sentence, while he can scold them and find fault to his heart's content.
В карты играть он любит, но только с людьми звания низшего; они-то ему: «Ваше превосходительство», а он-то их пушит и распекает, сколько душе его угодно.

"Yet I know who has been playing tricks here, and why I am no longer wanted. It is because I do not flatter and toady as certain people do.
- Я знаю, чьи это штуки и отчего я стал не нужен: оттого, что я не льщу и не потакаю во всем, как иные люди.
