n in society other american, àíãëè÷àí, frenchman, german, italian or argentinean. How much George Uebber itself remembered, he always greedily, as sponge, absorbed the life experience. Absorbed incessantly, but at the last years began todisbelief in itself, - but this could be with George quite often, - and life his(its) became good-for-nothing, fizzled out, empty, and he already seemed that he before brain of the bones was soaked destroying hopelessness áðóêëèíñêèõ streets,ght and was enough the wit to understand: person far from will always realize, why enters so, rather then otherwise, and quite not simply reject the habits and feeling that formed the year, after all this not worn-out hat and not trampled shoe. That zh, him not first happens tsale çåìåëüíûõ area and very had a fine understanding of their cost. The Certain sixth feeling invariably prompted her, in what direction will become to grow the city, and when her(its) predictions came true, nearly always it appears thatod the familiar sculptor, young japanese, George his(its) here already met. Presently he ordered dispatch to furniture. Zaslyshav steps George, young japanese has raised the eye and has shown the teeths in the most courteous icy smile. He has not said nye, æåìàíèòñÿ, çàçûâíî âèõëÿåò the hip, - no doubts, this specimen not that flap! Uebber knew that people of this sort and storehouse become in mundane circle pet, some mongrel áîëîíêè with buffoon. Beside rare landlady of the salon brilliant grow like pree it low forehead, òóïîâàòîå person - and in each line ðàñòåðÿííîñòü, black eye has becomed glassy from terror, he mumbles something indistinct, his(its) firmly keeps for shoulder police, the whole cloth on italian, even shirt - in sh what and does not äîäóìàëèñü. Dined in that evening late, and when Margaret gave on table, turned out to be that all beside she has been slightly burnt. Three weeks after George sat in back êîìíàòóøêå its gloomy new-éîðêñêîé igy: as You on deal - in lifes its and in behaviour - follow the sermon Ekkleziasta. I saw, as You suffered and did not find itself place because talent disappears âòóíå because person ill ordered its life because func, as he, George, veins by here boy. The House was all same, former. And, however, he as if became less, in memories George he was not such sleazy and miserable. He left not straight on street, but stood little at heart, on one same sort, too get the splendid copies: for instance, sound ãâàðäåéöû by growing six feets and five inches, direct, as dart, and with same certain facial expression, which speaks clear clear - start;put, breakwater, themselves they and not reign;prevail natures, but, uzh anyway, g legs, and freckled scrawny hand snooped around in áîêîâîì pocket coat, trying âûóäèòü from there wallet and cheque-book. Finally he their has got still òðÿñóùèìèñÿ, exactly in palsy, hand, but even this tremor did not break the impressions calm value anof long ago âûïàâøèõ teeth sparkled the false briliance such enormous âñòàâíûå to jaws that lips did not close them, and they shown whole light grow dark cemetery grin. The Whole he was ãðóçíûé, run, and, however, something in he directed obviously vary, has afterwards asked: - Even though you anything such will write, and... and they you more here will not let in? Now kept quiet George. Here, there was about than think. And finally hasEW YORK. George has said, as lives itself too there. The Young person has asked, long he stayed in Germany. - All summer, - has answered Dzhordzh. - I have arrived at May. - And thereafter were here... in Germany? - Yy one - find oneself somewhere for òðèäåâÿòü grounds. - I certain, you will much merrily! - with briskness spoke meantime Ester. - Here is see! - She has firmly compressed his(its) ruku. - I you ïîçíàêîìëþ with heap any folk. But you, py all go with us. And... oh! The Cook! - has quickly yelled ona. - Where cook? The Tax anyone ïîçîâèòå her(it). start;put Too goes downwards! The News has removed the girl from balance. They helpless exchanged glances a soft spot, to she invariably went nearly íåíàäåâàííûå garbs mrs Jack and her(its) sisters Edit, and nothing do not disturb her to take on the most broad leg friendly-police, which came times three at week ïîóõàæèâàòü for her; uitable guest room, èáî under the first meeting he with pleasure has felt coming from Devida Merrita heat merry äîáðîæåëàòåëüñòâà. This was flowering, well-fed and well-groomed man of the years forty five, always ready ïîøóòèòü and inht personally judge and solve for all, but äîáðîäåòåëü all - in ñëåïîì, unquestioning obedience, - any îñíîâ ãèòëåðèçìà returned to ferocity ancient ïëåìåííîãî building, to îáðîñøèì wool òåâòîíöàì that have spouted with north and have shattered the enormous buildi keep the generally accepted order of the things. You have a friend by name Hant Konroy. You have introduced us. He whole for several years senior me, but he obsessed asserts the rights "lost generations", as he his(its) names, -initely much since for the first time he faced alive personification the most fondest, the most secret its daydreams. When Lloyd Poppy-Harg, exactly hurricane, ïðîíåññÿ through his(its) life, George has understood that for the first time beforSOUTH, the BANK COMES TO nothing "Libiya-hill, S.K. the March 12 - a Town commercial bank this morning has not opened the doors - all payments discontinued. On measure that as news about closing the bank spread, is circle moved to heater and considered hinging on him portrait mrs Jack. The Portrait showerred with praise, and he their wholly deserved. That was one of the best work Henry Mellou at early period his(its) creative activity. - No, you only see and think, as lonnd made clear by experience circle. But hereunder tireless wit George found where greater liberty to remember, adopt, îñìûñëÿòü and compare, search for and find the communication between most different phenomenas áûòèÿ. This has allowed him to rge Uebber leaned;leant against on windowsill and âîáðàë glance NEW YORK - all that could see from window, leaving on çàäâîðêè. At the end of the quarter âûñèëàñü ãðîìàäà new hospital, upper floors her(its) were step-like narrowed, âçìûâàþùèå skyward wall turned pink in ray of the sundown. To near corner of the enormous building and to distant, opposite, verged two wings ïîíèæå, where veins of the sister and ñàíèòàðêè. Except hospitals, in quarter closely nestled with half-dozen of the old brick houses else; they have grown old leaned;leant to one another, George saw them with rear. There was strangely quietly. All town noises äîíîñèëèñü here, muted by distance, exactly dim drone, - ceaseless, incessant, he seemed unhewn from silence. Suddenly in opened window with facade âîðâàëîñü the hoarse snarl, this wound the lorry beside storehouse through street. The Powerful motor got hot, roar grew, and here is çàëÿçãàëî, çàñêðåæåòàëî, and George all body has felt, as çàäðîæàë old house: lorry âûðóëèë on street and with boom has rolled away. The Noise was removed, weakened, afterwards met with the general dim drone, and once again all quieted down. George all ãëÿäåë, put out from window, íåèçúÿñíèìàÿ joy has rushed to throat, and he something çàêðè÷àë in window of the hospital wing girl, which, on îáûêíîâåíèþ, ironned their own two pair(vapour)s øòàíèøåê and thin ïëàòüèøêè. Weakly, as if much from afar, äîëåòàëè to him shouts playing on street äåòâîðû and low voice of the people in house. He looked downwards, on chilly sidelong shade - an evening light slithered on êâàäðàòèêàì courtyard, and in each courtyard was opened something familiar, much and only its: here is scrap of the land, - some pretty woman çàñàäèëà his(its) colour, she left in tarpaulin mitten, in straw broad-brimmed hat and zealous toilled on few hours contract; but here is teeny green lawn, - here each evening concentrated waters recently sowed;sown herb of the bald person with red square person; in the other courtyard looms ñàðàé÷èê, dollhouse, workshop, where other businessperson in watch of the leisure with enthusiasm something make; or are placed merrily ðàñêðàøåííûé table and two-three chaise longues under canopy huge brightly-striped garden çîíòà - and pretty girl whole day sits there and reads, on shoulder íàáðîøåíî coats, under hand - a goblet blame. Poured midair quietness, and çàêàòíûé light, and scent of the springtime is woke;waked çàâîðîæèëè George, and he seemed, he well knows all people around. He loved the old house on Twelfth street - a red brick wall, ample rooms with high ceiling, dark wooden panels and scratchy floors, but êîëäîâñêàÿ this minute as if îäàðèëà house else and some sad greatness because long ninety years he covered in their own wall so much human lifes. He and itself became as living being. Seemed, here all live and äûøèò - a wall, rooms, chair, tables, even humid double towel, drooping on âàííîé, even áðîøåííîå on chair coat and spread on the whole room manuscript, papers, books. As well once again find oneself here, around all such familiar, and, however, there is in this something strange, improbable. With sharp sudden amazing George in the hundredth once for the last week has reminded itself: after all he and âïðàâäó returned home, he once again building - in America, in stone human anthill on island Manhattan, he returned to native land and ëþáâè; and an aftertaste of the blame was in joys because it was recalled: year did not pass thereafter, as he has left on foriegn land, in anger and despair run from the whole, to that now returned. In bitter its determinations he then, past springtime, most of all wanted to run down from women(woman), who loved. Ester Jack was much senior him(it), ìóæíÿÿ wife and mother adult äî÷åðè. But she has loved George such full, such headlong love that under the end he became to feel itself in west. From spume this ëþáâè he and thirsted to get free, yes else - run from shameful recollection about frantic quarrel with Ester, from emotional dismay, nigh only madnesses, which all grew in him that's why that Ester tried his(its) hold. And here is he parted with her and has vamoosed in Europe. He has left to forget this woman, - and made sure that to forget can not; only about her and thought hourly, incessantly. Again and again recalled her(its) - a rouge, merry, invariably mellow and generous, on-persisting talented, recalled all watch that they have conducted together, - and painfilly but she yearned. Here is so, running away from ëþáâè, which still his(its) pursued, he was sealled by vagrant in someone else edge. Has Detoured England, Francium and Germany, so much ïåðåâèäàë new, so much folk met - an ïåðåñåê ïîëêîíòèíåíòà, swore, a dissolute life, saws, brawlled... once upon a time in some ïèâíóøêå him in fight have broken the head, have dislodged several teeths and broke the nose. But afterwards he lonesome rested upon berth in ìþíõåíñêîé to hospital and peered into ceiling - while healled the brokenned person, remained only to speculate. Here is right here he finally íåìíîæêî rallied the wit-reason. The Former madness has left, and for the first time in much years storm inwardly subsided. Ibo he learned;learnt some truths, which each must open for itself itself, - and has opened them, as as one should each person: through test and mistakes, through errors and self-deceptions, through lie and own utter äóðîñòü since could be blind and íåïðàâ, foolish and ñåáÿëþáèâ, packed blast and hopes, headlong believed and desperately got mixed up. There, on hospital berth, he has anew revised whole its life and on scintilla èçâëåê from it severe lessons of the experience. And each learning truth turned out to be such idle time and self-evident that he only marvel was given - as possible was this not to understand! But all together they rolled up in certain clue that stretched far back, in his(its) past, and onward, in future. And George was thought: probably, possible become the true master of the own fate, after all now he all inside feels, to that it is necessary to strive, but here is where this feeling his(its) çàâåäåò - what know? But that he learned;learnt? On glance of the philosopher, probably, the little, however simply on-humanly this not so uzh little. He is a veins, and each day, on one hundred once for day, in triviality must was something solve, obeying whole that was in him mortgaged heredity and encirclement, move to thoughts and boiling feeling, but solved, reaped that sowed;sown, and on this has understood: gratis nothing be not given. And has understood - contrary to its tele, before that unruly and alien balance that he time felt itself some âûðîäêîì, he don't care brother and kinsfolk to all people on light. Has Understood that it is impossible embrace bounless and it is necessary to know the measure its power and become reconciled with this. Turned out to be, a great deal, than he suffered at the last years, he has irritated in itself itself, and this was inevitable flour of the growing. And that most main for person, who âçðîñëåë so slowly, - he as it is woke;waked learned;learnt finally not to be a slave feeling. Most often he met with disaster that's why that acted outlining head. That zh, well, he will become circumspect. The Whole piece in that to bridle the wit and heart - let will at one, rather then is pulled in different sides. We shall Try to send the fullness an authorities reason and shall that is got; then if reason will say: "Here is it!" - you and heart are tugged to the same purposes. This already concerns and Ester, after all he not at all was going to to her to return. The Reason prompted: between them all are finished - and let, so better. But hardly he has arrived in NEW YORK, heart has prompted to ring her - and he has rung. They were met, and, certainly, all began first. The Ithaca, they once again together, but after all he was certain: that-that, but this is not repeated. And, however, he ñ÷àñòëèâ that returned to her. Inconceivable! Seamingly if go contrary to reason, you must feel itself wretch. But no, not a bit did not can be! Here is therefore-that while he pondered, leaning against on windowsill, but april twilight thickened around, his(its) quietly champ;nibble;gnaw small worm shame, and he quizzical asked itself, insofar beside it thoughts disperse with deal. He already passed twenty eight and was enough the wit to understand: person far from will always realize, why enters so, rather then otherwise, and quite not simply reject the habits and feeling that formed the year, after all this not worn-out hat and not trampled shoe. That zh, him not first happens to to break the head on this problem!!. Before such choice turned out to be occasionly and philosophers. And even spoke on sheatfish cause different wise words. "Foolish sequence - a scarecrow small shower", - has said Emerson. And great Gete became reconciled with severe truth that way of the person to maturity not ïðÿì, but sinuous, and has compared the development and progress mankind with that, what zigzags, ate to hold in saddle, vagrant - a tipsy rider. Be can, not so it is important that vagrant in hop not capable to go straight to purposes, where important that he has even so saddled the horse and, let zigzagging and losing, all somewhere go. George Uebber certain time was amused this thought and, however, complacent and tranquilized, still felt itself íåìíîæêî âèíîâàòûì. Probably, sometime weak point is cut in his(its) discourses. He inconsequential, he returned to Ester, - sensibly this or foolishly... Really tipsy rider must always wander and zigzag? Ester awoke instant, suddenly, as bird. Rested upon back and broadly revealled eye peered into ceiling. Has In a flash felt itself, its body, - she ready to meet the new day. And has immediately thought about George. They were reconciled, have anew found its love, and all for they became with joy and new. Have Selected and have packed the splinter to former life, - and she newly became packed and beautiful, as in the most best time, before departure George. Now he is polished disposed of madnesses, which a little has not ruined their both. He and presently easy yields to to moods, sudden whims, but also shade no former fury, when on he wore down and he frantic thrashed about, destroyed all around and in blood split the fists about wall. He became calm, certain, where better controls oneself and, similars, each at a walk and action tries to show that loves her(it), Ester. Never else she was not so lucky. As well live! For window, on Park-avenue, newly appeared the passer-by, streets became all populous. On table beside beds often-often ticked the alarm clock, impatiently counted out the pulse of time, as if on-ðåáÿ÷üè hurried toward some imaginative joy, and in house measured sometime, have solemnly overpunched the watch. The Matutinal sun has flooded the room, is woke;waked between deal has flashed each triviality, and in shower Ester has said itself: time! The Burrow has brought coffee and hot buns, and Ester red for newspaper, has examined the theatrical chronically ill person, list actor, invited to play in new german play, which prepares to autumn Amateur theatre, has read that "artist-sign painter of the show invited miss Ester Jack". Has Read and burst out laughing: drolly that her(its) name miss, and so clear introduced, what terror is expressed on his(its) person at type of these lines (but what he had a person, when small tailor has solved that she his(its) wife!), and so pleasantly see its name in newspaper: "...miss Ester Jack, which its art has conquered the general confession as one of the the most prominent modern theatrical artist". Merry, lucky, complacent itself, she has put the newspaper in bag together with some former tenderloin and has grabbed them, îòïðàâëÿÿñü on Dvenadcatuyu street, where she each day visitted George. Gave him newspapers and óñåëàñü opposite to see his(its) person while he reads. She remembered all that there wrote about her(its) work: "...Work fine, looking for and unostentatious, in which is felt special, bitter and acerbic humour...", "...forces the author of these lines on old age of the years on-baby to adore the certain skill and power of the imagination, nothing like did not present us present theatrical season, so rich brilliant, but surrface production..." "...Her(its) unpretentious window dressings, merry, light, possess all value, what we already got accustomed to wait from this õóäîæíèöû, which is selflessly dedicated moody and sometimes ungrateful mistress to scene..." "...The Splendid mischief, which is felt in whimsical window dressing prankish-derisive and - whether to remind? whether to apologize for reminder? - a skilful master..." She ates remained from laughter, - so contemptuous wried the lips George, so echidna mimiced he reviewer: - "Prankish-derisive"! Charming, devil cover! "On old age of the years on-baby to adore", - an âèäàëè, what original, ñóêèí son! "Sometimes ungrateful mistress", - say please!.. "and whether to remind!" - ah-ah, me ill, äóøåíüêà! Give me garlic! He has chucked the newspapers on floor and with affected sternness turned to Ester, easily moved to laughter ìîðùèíêè scattered from small piece of coal eye. - Well-with, will feed me today? Or you will get drunk this ìóòüþ, but me - die with hunger? Ester anymore could control and çàêàòèëàñü the horselaugh. - But this not I! - choking, barely âûãîâîðèëà ona. - not I wrote! I not guilty that they so write! The Horror, truth? - Well yes, and, can, you this disgusting? - has said Dzhordzh. - You all this ñìàêóåøü! Sit here and are licked, enjoy their glorification and my torments! The Known you, about woman that I did not ate since yesterday's day? Will Feed me or no? Can, you will put its skilful imagination in steak? - put;ýêîí)invest;nest! - has said Ester. - Want the steak? - Can, you catch me on old age of the years on-baby to adore the îòáèâíîé under the most gentile onion sauce? - Yes, - has said she, - about yes! He ïîäîøåë, embraced her(it), has peeked her in eye loving and greedy eye. - Can, you will prepare me some fine, looking for and unostentatious sauce - you after all on them such ìàñòåðèöà? - Yes! Shall Do for you all that want! - But why? That was a rite, which both knew by heart, did not miss neither one question, nor answer: each wanted again and again hear these word from the other! - Since I love you. Since want to feed you and love you. - And this will well? - asked George. - So well, as say it is impossible, - answered Ester. - Will well since I such good and beautiful and all do beautifully, nor one woman on light for you better will not do, and else therefore that I love you all power showers and want, ÷òîá we were - one! - And this great love you will put in fudge? - In each tidbit! You will slake its hunger, as never. This will be a prodigy from miracles, and hereafter you will become better and rich man by body and soul. You will remember this lifelong. This will be a delight and rapture. - Signifies, this will be such meal, what else nobody on light did not try, - has said George. - Yes, - answered ona. - Certainly. And this was a truth. Never nothing like was not in the world while newly has not come the April. The Ithaca, they once again together. But something between they were changed. Even and outwardly. They already did not settle for general modest æèëèùåì. Return in NEW YORK, George with the first day flatly refused be newly settled on Ueverli-ïëåéñ, in former sanctum their ëþáâè, lifes and work. In lieu thereof he has removed two ample rooms on Twelfth street - they occupied whole first floor, and their possible was transform in one enormous common-room, cost only to open the expanding door. Here, and teeny - only-be only turned - êóõîíüêà. All this fine made George: and place âäîâîëü, and nobody does not disturb. Ester can come and leave, when will want; they can be here two together, and only two together, when will want; here they can ââîëþ get drunk the love. But most main: this house not general, but him(it), George, and therefore now their relations are built on other base. Hereafter he will not allow that whole his(its) life was mixed up with love. Beside Ester its world - a theatre, áîãàòûå friends, but his(its) this does not concern, beside it its world - a literature, and here it is necessary to manage one. The Whole its place and its turn: love by love, but he will stick by itself, master to its lifes and its showers. Becomes reconciled with this Ester? Will Agree take his(its) love, but give him liberty to live and work in one's own way? So must be, has said he her, and she has answered: yes, she all understand. But is able she? Capable woman on most nature its settle for that that can give her man, and not to infringe upon that, what he return has the right not? Already presently other small ïðåäçíàìåíîâàíèÿ forced him(it) in this distrust. Once upon a time in the morning Ester came and active, merrily became to retell some amusing street ñöåíêó... and suddenly fell silent on ïîëóñëîâå, on person her(its) passed the shade, she has ed with alert and has unexpectedly asked: - You after all love me, George? - Yes, - has said he, - certainly. You know. - You nevermore I do not throw? - On wink beside she has intercepted dyhanie. - Will always me to love? George has amazed and this sudden change the moods, and most question: here is absurdity, as it is woke;waked he or who is pleased another on shame can be entrusted for their own feeling, for faithfulness íàâåêè! And he burst out laughing. Ester impatiently ìàõíóëà hand. - Not ñìåéñÿ, George. I it is necessary to know. say. You will always me to love? She asked so seriously, but that will here answer? George has taken the annoyance, he has got up because of table, minute looked at Ester, is woke;waked not seen, and began to go from corner in corner. Times two paused, turned to her, but was not so-that easy âûãîâîðèòü necessary words, and he again was taken worrisome to stride on room. Ester sharp-eyed keeped a check on him, at first she looked and merrily and angrily, but afterwards in eye ðàçãîðåëàñü the alert. "Well that I such has done? - was thought ey. - a Gentlemen that for person! Never know, what from it to wait. Will Assign the simplest question - and here is, is not pleased, as he leads itself! The Truth, previously he else and not that âûòâîðÿë. Could be, in a flash blast, scolds me on than light cost(stand)s. But here is presently something in him is seethed, but about than he thinks, understand impossible. It is Necessary, ìå÷åòñÿ, as beast in hutch! The Such apes with borax of the passions in bosom!" But George at minute of the emotion and truth resemble(go)ed on ape. The Powerful torso, powerful broad shoulder, on move is mildly hunched, long hands droop a little not before knees, liberally loaf the large cysts, but finger, on the end as if flat, ïîäâåðíóòû inside, - nor give nor to take the beast paw. The Head, firmly sitting on short neck, little are exposed onward, and the whole he as if bended down: that ÷óåò the danger, that prepares to jump. He even seems growing less, indeed he íåìíîæêî above the average - a metre seventy three or seventy five, however legs not quite correspond to such powerful torso. Yes else and facial features not large - a nose as it were flat, deeply sitting eye ãëÿäÿò from beneath thick, overhanging brows, and forehead rather low, from brows before hair not so uzh far. But when he astir or than-that enthusiastic, he somehow particularly concentrated looks the èñïîäëîáüÿ, and under that that head is always exposed little onward, but all body is bent, in such minute else strong his(its) resemblance with chimpanzee or îðàíãóòàíîì. No wonder that somebody from friends calls his(its) "Apes". The Minute-other Ester did not reduce with it eye, distressed and offended that that has not got the answer. George stopped beside window and looked downwards, on street, Ester ïîäîøëà and has quietly taken him(it) under hand. She saw, what âçäóëàñü æèëêà beside it on whisky, and understood that to speak presently no need. From nearby building (there fitted the branch of the trade union tailor) left the small puny jew and stopped in the middle streets. The Pale persons, íåìûòûå hairs, cloth in spot, but how much briskness! Yells, wave the hand, all strong ãîðÿ÷àòñÿ, ëåãîíüêî pat each other on cheek, laryngeal sentencing: "No! No! No!" Raz'yaryayasi, but still with smile (but is seen, hands so and ÷åøóòñÿ) çàêàòûâàþò to each other slaps in the face firmly. And, finally, already squall in full voice and beat how much is in vain. Other yells and swear, other are dared, some sullen cost(stand) at a distance and than-that silently suffers each itself. But has afterwards swooped the police body - young, strong irishman. Something in them heinous, something from mercenary murderers. Ferocious, stupid, impudent mugs. Lazy move the heavy jaws: even entrenching through crowd, pushing aside and pushing aside all to the right and to the left, these good lad do not cease to chew the rubber. - But well, disperse! - repeat oni. - Disperse! Let's, let's! Poshevelivaysya! Past with roar are worn out cars, go the passer-by. Flash the person, who George and Ester never before met - and, however, saw the hundreds once, around and everywhere: always miscellaneouses, person these never are changed, they appear in mysterious invigorating spring áûòèÿ, uncountable, infinitely varied, always move, undeterminable and are untiring repeated. So, again and again pass on street of the lifes three girlfriends. Beside one person cruel and voluptuous, eye hidden glass spectacles, cruel, rough mouth. Beside other thin rat ìîðäî÷êà, but nose exorbitant great. Beside the outside party plump, overbroad, on fat íàêðàøåííûõ lip, in ìàñëÿíèñòûõ nostril - ãëóìëèâàÿ grin. And when they are dared, in laughter not audible neither joys, nor revelry, - âèçãëèâûé, piercing, unnatural, he cuts the rumour and only requires that all, all, all their have noticed. The children play On street. Gloomy, resolute, ungovernable, they in accuracy imitate the speech and rough habit senior. Here is they are thrown in fight, and the most weak flies on bridge. Police have drived away noisy small circle ïîðòíÿæåê, their already no. The Sky blue, young, bright, nowhere nor cloudy; the buds swell on tree; and sunshine simple-hearted, fearless comes on this street, to all, who here there is. Ester was mowned on George, - he peered into window, and person his(its) all strong was distorted. He shoulds like to say her; all we äèêàðè and ãëóïöû, ungovernable, shaved off with sense; we are a packed awe and dismay, blind and ignorant, we pass on alive, beautiful land, breathe the given to drink youth æèâèòåëüíûé air, us wash the light a morning, but we nothing this does not see and do not understand since in shower we murderers. But nothing such he has not said. Has Grown old was unscrewed from window. - Here is she, eternity, - has said on. - Here is she, your eternity. 2. FIRST SMILE of the GLORY In spite of aftertaste of the blame, which George quite often felt at the most glad minute, never else he was not so ñ÷àñòëèâ. Yes, so, in this no doubts. And he this got drunk. The Former madness passed without leaving a trace, and he for a long time exulted, rave faith (nowhere near not for the first time, but never else confidence this was not so strong) that finally-that he and âïðàâäó mister and ruler of its fate. As far back as infancies, when he orphan of the veins beside their own ðîäè÷åé Dzhoynerov in Libiya-õèëëå, he dreamed that someday fall into NEW YORK and will find there love, glory, wealth. And here is already several years, as he names NEW YORK its house, love he has too found, but now, certainly, came the time a wealth and glories, before them already hand tax. The Persons always ñ÷àñòëèâ, when certain waits that here is-are here is ed the most bold his(its) daydreams, and therefore George was ñ÷àñòëèâ. And what can be nearly with all us, when in lifes beside us all well, he âîîáðàæàë, is woke;waked this his(its) own çàñëóãà. No, not good luck, not event, not blind move event have brought him this new vigour of the spirit: confidence in itself and sensation of the victory - an award for his(its) own íåîáû÷àéíûå value, well-earned award, and only! Meantime solving role in his(its) transfiguration has played exactly lucky event. Has Occurred something incredible. In the first days, as he returned in NEW YORK, he has rung äîíåëüçÿ astir Lulu Skadder, literary agent. The most Largest publishers "James Kinsfolks and Ko" ed him(it), George Uebbera, manuscript, and famous publisher Lishol Edvards wants to talk with author. Certainly, in such events nothing it is impossible know beforehand, but always better forge the iron while hotly. Can Not George straight away, not postponing, be ed with Edvardsom? Foolishly rejoice, repeated over and over again itself on road George, fast whole, nothing thereof will not leave. After all here is in one publishers his(its) book already rejected, declared that no this not novel! The Publisher has even written, - a word him(it), exactly red-hot iron âûææåííûå, çàïå÷àòëåëèñü in brain George: "Novel - a form obviously alien your talent". But after all the question is same most manuscript. He has not changed nor united line, not âûêèíóë nor word though and Ester and miss Skadder intimated that manuscript too great, nor one publishers for she will not r. George balk refused anything change: start;put print as it is or not at all print. And he has left in Europe, absolutly certain that, howsoever tried miss Skadder to build on his(its) brainchild, publisher to her not to find. Abroad him nauseating was even think about manuscript: so much labours in it is embedded as much sleepless nights as with her is bound hopes that supported his(its) all these years... And he tried not to think - clear, nowhere his(its) poorly painted picture is fit, and itself he nowhere ãîäåí, but if much about itself âîçîìíèë and thirsted the glories, so this empty daydreams, çàíîñ÷èâîñòü feeble scribbler. It Is Seen, he not a bit not better other ïóñòîáðåõîâ-ó÷èòåëèøåê from School of the aplied arts, whence he has run down and where return, when ends his(its) furlough, and will once again become to teach the student to express their own thoughts on paper. Nearly all local teachers always interpret, is woke;waked write or are going to to write unheard-of beautiful books, - since, either as he itself, desperately search for output, after all anguish takes from day to day to teach the dunces, read their compositions, put mark, in vain trying hew although èñêîðêó in hopeles stupid wit. George has conducted in Europe nearly nine months, from miss Skadder for all time was not no newses, and he already had no doubt: they were sold his(its) the most gloomy presentiments. And here is, turns out to be, the publishers to Kinsfolks they ed. As speak, they did not hurry. And as this understand - "ed"? Fast whole, he will say that in manuscript mark signs of the talent and if his(its) carefully nurse and develop, probably, someday it and will bring some fruits - a book, worthy attention of the public. Reportedly, there is such careful publishers, year âîäÿò beginning for nose, reject the book for book, and besides ïîíåìíîæêó ïîäáàäðèâàþò, ÷òîá not completely despaired: we, breakwater, in you believe, beside you all ahead of, it is necessary only "to find itself". Well no, George on this will not call on! He will not give the disillusionments, even eye not ìîðãíåò and, uzh certainly, nothing they will not promise! If police on crossroad and has noticed in that morning before the publishers "James Kinsfolks and Ko" strange young person, that where him was guess, as resolutely, having clenched a fist, this young person was going to with spirit for liing ahead talk. If police him(it) and has noticed, that, fast whole, was supervised mistrustful: does not âìåøàòüñÿ, can, here smell(blows in) the criminal act? Or cause the coach "ambulance", but while speak him teeths, and start;put small ñâåçóò where it is necessary and will check, in order âèíòèêè beside it. The Young person went rash, uneven at a walk, gloomy, frowned, sullen having compressed lips; the ïåðåñåê street, setted foot on sidewalk at the door publishers and is suddenly woke;waked stumbled - stopped, was in bewilderment looked over and not has immediately forced itself be once again touched with place. But now he moved unsure, seemed, legs his(its) do not hear. Darted was onward, çàìåð, again darted - and beside most door newly çàìåð, has frozen in íåðåøèìîñòè. The Minute confronted entry, convulsive compressing and unclenching fists, afterwards quickly, suspicious was looked over, exactly was afraid, does not look who. Finally resolutely âñòðÿõíóëñÿ, put the hands in pockets deeply, not hurry was turned and went by. Now he went not hurrying, sullen former has compressed the lips and so tense has extended the neck, as if âûñìîòðåë to itself purpose ahead of far and has solved to move to her strictly on direct. And, however, going by doors publishers, past striking the eye book of the shop windows on both sides of the entry, he mowned on them edge of the eye, exactly spy, which certainly it is necessary to see that is done in this house, but only for passer-by invisibly. He äîøåë before the end of the quarter and çàøàãàë back and again, going by this building, has not turned the heads on still, exactly wooden, neck, but only slanted stealthily. Good twenty minutes in a row he repeated same strange manoeuvre: draws even with door, çàìåøêàåòñÿ, mildly turn, as if wants to enter, and again gusty strides further. Finally, a little not on fiftieth once, he has accelerated the step, ïîäîøåë and red for handle door, but immediately, is woke;waked his(its) has knocked the current, îòäåðíóë hand, moved backward, became on êðàþ the sidewalk and, having scattered head, was crowded on building publishers. Several minutes he so and stood - shifted from foot to foot with legs on leg, âñìàòðèâàëñÿ in upper window, is woke;waked waited some sign. And suddenly âûïÿòèë jaw, ñòèñíóë teeths so that on cheekbone çàèãðàëè æåëâàêè, headlong dashed to door, ñìàõó ðàñïàõíóë her(it) and escaped in house. The Hour later he left from there, - and if that police was not yet changed with post, uzh probably behaviour of the young person has newly amazed him(it) and has puzzled. Strange small strode the having hung hands, slow, wooden gait, type he had dazed, in hand will jam the rumpled slip of the yellow paper. He came out of building publishers, exactly sleepwalker, slowly, thoughtless - nor give nor to take çàâîäíàÿ doll, - was turned and all with the same îøàëåëûì, blessed facial expression moved to uptowns and escaped in crowd. Already âå÷åðåëî and eastward, quickly óäëèíÿÿñü, stretched the sidelong shade, when George Uebber finally awakened sometime in äåáðÿõ Bronx. He as well as has not understood, what âåòðîì his(its) here carried aways. Remembered only that suddenly before death wanted there is, and then he stopped, was looked over on sides and has thought, where he. blunt Stunned person his(its) has flashed up amazing, íåäîâåðíåì, mouth sprawlled in smile before óøåé. He has slowly straightened ñòèñíóòûé in fist chunky yellow slip and began his(its) attentively study. This was a cheque on five hundred dollars. The Book has taken, and he has got the advance. Yes, never else for the whole its life he was not so ñ÷àñòëèâ. Finally-that to he knocked the glory and flattering and tenderly he çàóëûáàëàñü, and he veins in some miraculous forget. The Following weeks and months pervaded were a glad foretaste. The Book will leave only autumn, but before that times - so much works! Lishol Edvards has offered something take away, something change, George first çàñïîðèë, but afterwards, to own surprise, agreed that so will better, and was taken correct the manuscript, what advised Edvards. Its novel he has named "Home, in our mountains" and has invested in it all that was aware of its ðîäíîì borough in Old Ketoube and about local inhabitant. Each line was an âûæèìêîé from that that he, George, itself saw and outlived. And now that already clear was that book will leave, his(its) occasionly threw in tremor, after all else several months - and the whole light will become known that he has there written. Terribly think that someone çàäåíåøü, offend, as him this earlier in head did not come! But now already nothing will not do, and becomes not on itself. Certainly, his(its) book - a fiction, literature, but, either as as one should persisting literature, she âûëåïëåíà from alive life. Some people, probably, will hear itself and resent, - and then be? Neuzhto be hidden, pace in dark spectacles and with false beard? He consoled itself: can be, portraits of his(its) heroes not so uzh verne (though at other minute pleasantly was think on-other), can be, nobody nothing will not notice. The Journal "Kinsfolks ìýãåçèí" too has paid attention to young writer - in áëèæàéøåì the number will there place his(its) tale, chapter from book. Having Heard about this, George quite âîçëèêîâàë. He was not tolerated see its name in seal, and in this time of the lucky waiting he felt itself some ecumenical Don-ZHuanom: verily, he loved all and each - their own colleagues on School and stodgy pupil and ó÷åíèö, saleswomans and shopkeeper, and even faceless, anonimous crowd on street. The Publishers to Kinsfolks, of course, the most great and the most beautiful in the world, but Lishol Edvards - a greatest editor and the most beautiful person, the other such light not âèäàë. George he immediately ïðèøåëñÿ but shower, and now he named Edvardsa simply Lisom, exactly old bosom friend. He knew, Foxes in he believes - and this trust and confidence of the editor, found at the very hour, when he has forfeited the last hope, have returned George respect to itself and have added power for new work. In he already ripened the new çàìûñåë, appeared the outlines of the new novel. Soon, it is necessary will âûïëåñíóòü all this on paper. Terribly think that to come to sit for work in earnest, after all already know, what this torture. Become as obsessed, exactly demon in you âñåëÿåòñÿ - outside frantic power, her(its) not to defeat. Will Wear down on you - and âûêóðèâàåøü sixty cigarettes in day, drink twenty cups coffee, åøü where got and harum-scarum, anytime day and nights, when suddenly remember suddenly that ãîëîäåí as wolf. Maeshisya insomnia, mile for nice die the step of the street to be dislodged from power (otherwise and not at all fall asleep), but afterwards ìó÷àþò the nightmares, and the next morning you èçäåðãàí and the whole as âûæàòûé lemon. And he has said the Fox: - Probably, there is best ways to write the books, but, honored word, I otherwise not wit, come uzh you with this accept. When left the number "Kinsfolks ìýãåçèí" with tale George, author in earnest waited: here is-here is ñîäðîãíåòñÿ the land, ïîñûïëþòñÿ the falling stars, çàìðåò motion on street and breaks the general strike. But nothing such did not happen. Somebody from friends in talk with George has mentionned of his(its) tale - and only. He was an ïðèóíûë, but afterwards sane has settled a dispute between that people after all on so easy value the young writer on small tale. Will Here is leave the book, then all see, who he such and on that capable. Then uzh will be on-other. Well nothing, he else íåìíîæêî will tolerate, but uzh then to he will most certainly come the äîëãîæäàííàÿ glory. Afterwards first emotion óëåãëîñü, George little ïîïðèâûê feel itself writer, whose book and truth will soon leave in light; then only he became be examined in unbeknownst previously world, where are done books, and hear the people, which this world inhabit, - and only then began to understand and on value to value the Fox Edvardsa. For the first time he has understood that for person his(its) editor, due to Otto Hauseru: so deeply, unshaksble honest, Hauser in all îñòàëüíîì was a full opposition Fox. Hauser served in company of the Kinsfolks by reviewer - and the best publishing reviewer, probably, not to find was in the whole America. He could itself become excellent, rare publishing editor if in him was powerfully that moves the big editor: ÷åñòîëþáèå, rave vehemence, flippant and óïðÿìàÿ determination, indefatigable thirst to search for and find all best. But Hauser ïðåñïîêîéíî settled for that that from day to day read the absurd compositions of the absurd scribblers on the most absurd subjects (to example, "Sail by breast stroke", "Alpine horticulture for all", "Life and amusements Lidii Pinkem", "New age of the profusion") - schlock, amongst which seldom-seldom flashed the flicker to passions, spark of the talent, glimpse of the authentic truth. Otto Hauser veins in teeny êâàðòèðêå from the First avenue not far away and once upon a time has at night invited George to call at. George çàøåë to him, and they have ed whole evening. But afterwards George came else and else; Otto liked him and besides puzzled, uzh very inconsistent was all in this person, and particularly surprised some strange lock-in, õîëîäíîâàòàÿ aloofness, she so was not knitted;knitted with inherent Hauseru äîáðîæåëàòåëüíîñòüþ and straightforwardness. Its facilities Otto itself. At one time he tried to hire the coming charwomans, but afterwards from they refused. On his(its) taste, these women(woman) were it is not enough neat and fastidious, yes else always all cease, is moved harum-scarum, but he - great àêêóðàòèñò, beside it each triviality on its place. The Disorder he did not stand. The Books beside it building was little, some two regiments - mainly last publishing the company to Kinsfolks, yes something he sent other publishers. Usually, hardly äî÷èòàâ these books, he their distributed, èáî did not stand the disorder, but from books always disorder and tightness. Sometimes he with perplexity asked itself - but can, he and books does not stand? Anyway, put in house their will somewhat less, already one their type his(its) irritates... The most curious riddle turned out to be For George Hauser. The Persons on rarity gifted, od, however, hardly is not polished is deprived was that quality, which need to "succeed" in our world. Inherently, he completely and did not want "to succeed". He avoided the all chance to advance although on step further that, what already reached. He wanted to be a reviewer and only, not more. In the publishers "James Kinsfolks and Ko" he did that he has entrusted. The most neighborly image executed their own duties. When asked that he thinks about manuscript, he honestly and unprejudiced, with unchangeable tranquillity spoke your mind, judged faultless clear, with purely german circumstantiality. And further this goes did not want. When some editor (in the publishers of the Kinsfolks their was several, not to count towards Lishola Edvardsa) asked beside Hausera his(its) opinion, usually occurred approximately such talk: - You read this manuscript? - Yes, read, - spoke Otto Hauser. - And that you about she thinks? - In my opinion, in her no no good. - Signifies, you do not advise her(its) print? - Yes, in my opinion, she that does not cost(stand). Or: - Have Read you this manuscript? - Yes, has read, - answers Hauser. - Well and as she, in your opinion? (The Devil his(its) twitch, can not itself say that thinks, always it is necessary from it each word mite to pull!) - In my opinion, this ãåíèàëüíî. - You think?! - mistrustful exclaims the editor. - Yes, I so think, on my glance - undoubtedly. - But see here, Hauser... - An Editor vzvolnovan. - If you do not mistaken, so this small... this author... he quite else boy, nobody about it and did not hear... he with west by birth from somewhere... from Nebraska that, or from Ayovy... similars, hitherto so and sat there, in muffle;deaden... if you do not mistaken, signifies, this we his(its) have opened! - Yes, probably, you have opened. His(its) book ãåíèàëüíà. - But... (The Devil cover, well that for person! Has Done such opening... reports such striking news... and if only fired, was pleased! But him don't care, is woke;waked speech goes about head of cabbage of the cabbage!) But... in than deal? You... in your opinion, in his(its) manuscript there is some èçúÿí? - No, in my opinion, in her no no èçúÿíîâ. In my opinion, this is splendid written. - But... (About, gentlemen, this Hauser and truth nut abnormal!) But that... you want to say... probably, in such type, as presently, she for printing unfit? - No, on my glance, she extremely suits for typing. - But she too long-winded, so? - Long-winded - yes, this faithfully. - So I and thought, - ãëóáîêîìûñëåííî declares redaktor. - a Beginner, experience no, this is immediately seen. He and itself does not understand, what writes, without the end is repeated, all beside he leaves ðåáÿ÷ëèâî, unkept, all through edge, no feeling of the measure. Us have a groups of ten of the authors, who understand in writing where more. - Yes, probably, - agrees Hauser. - And, however, he genius, but they - no. That he has written, ãåíèàëüíî, but that write they, - no. - Signifies, you suppose, we follow his(its) print? - Suppose that so. - But... (But can be, here is in than sticking point... here is he about than keeps silent!) But more him to say the íå÷åãî? You Think, he already èñïèñàëñÿ? All that was for soul, âûëîæèë in one book? On the second his(its) already comes short? - Nothing such I do not think. Guarantee, however, can not. His(its) can and kill, this can be... (Always he caws, crow!) -...But, as judged by this book, I have said, possible not to be afraid that he âûäîõíåòñÿ. His(its) will be enough else on ïîëñîòíè of the books. - But... (About, gentlemen! Where here trick?) But then, you consider, for such books beside us, in America, did not yet come time? - No, I so do not consider. In my opinion, for it most time. - Why? - Since she is written. If book is written, signifies, for she has come time. - But some our best critics speak, not yet time. - Know that they speak. They mistaken. Here is for them not yet time, the only thing whole. - That is to say as? - Much simply, they keep an account on time critics. But book s on time of the artist. Different time, different counting out. - In your opinion, critics lag behind from time? - Yes. Lag behind from artist. - Then they, probably, do not comply with you that this ãåíèàëüíàÿ book. As you think? - Do Not know. Can be, and are not agreed. But this does not matter. - That is to say as this - does not matter?! - Yes so. The Book good, and destroy her(its) it is impossible. Became to be, not it is important that about she will say. - Signifies... damn it, Hauser! If you did not mistaken, signifies, we have made the remarkable opening! - Yes, this so. You his(its) have made. - But... but... really you more íå÷åãî to say?! - Yes, íå÷åãî. But that here else to speak? The Editor is stunned. - Nothing... only I seemed, you-that should be able to rejoice! - And, completely disheartened, surrenders: - À, well! Well, Hauser! Thank you very much! In the publishers this did not understand. Simply could not understand. And were finally retreated - all, except Fox Edvardsa, Foxes never retreated if wanted anything understand. The Foxes as before, going by, peeked in cabinet Hausera - teeny crowd closet. Sdvinet get old turn grey hat on çàòûëîê (the Foxes always worked in hat), bends over, âûòÿíåò neck and with alarm perplexity in light çåëåíîâàòûõ eye is crowded on Hausera, is woke;waked before him unbeknownst fairy-tale pixy with bottom sea. Afterwards turn and, grasping both hand for lapels of the coat, strides its expensive, and in glance beside it boundless amazing. The Foxes at all could not understand, in than here secret. Yes and itself Hauser nothing could not answer and explain. Only when George Uebber got acquainted with both ïîáëèæå, he became to learn this riddle. Lishol Edvards and Otto Hauser... Only having heard their both, only seen, what work they in one and same publishers, possible was their both understand, - even better, probably, than each of they understood most itself. George seemed, in each of them already therefore that he such a, as it is, are opened secret headwaterses showers, that, in than both of them so strangely similar - and such unconceived miscellaneouses. Must be, at one time long ago and in Otto Hausere, in most depth his(its) unflappable spirit, blazed even and roast flame. But then he did not yet know that signifies to be a prominent editor. Now he saw this their own eye - and has solved that this not for it. Already ten years looked he, what Foxes Edvards works, and beautifully knew that for this it is necessary: alive íåãàñíóùåå flame amongst mirk, calm, untiring and ceaseless voltage, óïðÿìàÿ will - carry through that, for the sake of what blazes this flame and that will realize the spirit; and what this unexpressed flour, fight tooth and nail to meet goal, somehow îäîëåòü general reluctance, blind and stupid militant ignorance, hostility, prejudice, intolerance... but against you all fools, what only there is on light: and wrunged from wit decrepit old man, and æåìàííûå, ñþñþêàþùèå äàìî÷êè, and hypocrites, hypocrites, ôèëèñòåðû, and spiteful stupid çàâèñòíèêè, and - that worse whole - simply-íàïðîñòî the most common fools, impenetrable, beyond hope addle-brained and stupid on most nature its! About, so burn, so headlong spend itself, èñïåïåëÿòü aflame this unquenchable passion! And what for the sake of? For the sake of what? But the main, why? To nobody not known junker from Tennessi from somewhere or other, some son çàõóäàëîãî farmer from Georgia or scion of the doctor from çàõîëóñòèé North Dakota, on yardstick fool essence without sort without tribe, without title and ranks (but became to be, without rights and unworthy), noted seal ãåíèÿ, painfilly fought, trying pour out the high passion a solitary spirit, îäîëåòü muteness although somewhat voice that is closed in his(its) shower and in mute shower his(its) brother, and in blind íåîáúÿòíîñòè our severe land to find the way ðâóùåìóñÿ to will spring creative activity, and, can be, in boundless desert of the lifes to leave although some trace, erect although some shelter... and ðåå this - before person âñåñâåòíîãî fool hypocrisy, fool ignorance, fool cowardice, fool çàñêîêîâ, fool çóáîñêàëüñòâà, fool mannerism and fool hate to any, who not depraved and not downtrodden... and fools or go out this hot, blazing passion taunt, contempt, incomprehension, or will corrupt this powerful will, is profaned by her(its) fool success - a confession fool. And for the sake of this must blaze and suffer such, as Foxes, - to support the unbearable fire, burning shower of some inspired martyr-boys, while world fool will not take this ïëàìåíü on its charge and will not betray him(it)! Otto Hauser on all this saw a lot of. And, finally, in than award such Fox? Again and again alone, contrary to hopelessness, îäåðæèâàòü victory for victory - and see, as that most fools, which did not want the victory to acknowledge, her(its) assign, and newly sink in quest, and keep quiet, and wait, but fools in the interim greedily pocket the gold, engraved someone else solitary by spirit, arrogant, as own opening, fruit someone else long and difficult searching for, boast its sagacity, having prefixed itself fulfilment someone else ïðîðî÷åñòâ. No, finally heart will not bear, break - and heart Fox, and heart ãåíèÿ, solitary of the youth: small, frail heart human inevitable will weaken, will cease to fight; but heart to foolishnesses will fight always. No, Otto Hauser has firmly solved, this not for it. He will not become ãîðÿ÷èòüñÿ nor on what cause. He tries to see the truth - and this enough. Such a was Otto Hauser, when George with he got acquainted. In mirror of friendly frankness soul his(its) was reflected whole as it is, without embelish, in such calm straightforwardness and unities that remained only marvel be given; but in the same mirror though itself Otto not always this noticed, opened one more where more strong and bright look - a look Fox Edvardsa. George understood, as he was lucky that his(its) editor turned out to be the Foxes. He respected this person, adored him, but afterwards and has loved - and has understood that Foxes became for it not only editor and the other. Gradually George became to seem that in Fox he newly has found long ago lost father, who him always so came short. And Foxes really became for it second father - a father spiritual. 3. TEENY GENTLEMAN FROM JAPAN In old house, where veins in that year George, the street floor just under he occupied mister Katamoto, and soon between they were tied close-fitting acquaintance. Possible say that friendship their began with perplexities and has alterred by sawing in strong confidence and understanding. Not that that mister Katamoto is biased was forgive George his(its) misses. No, he any once (but however, nowhere near not obtruding) explained that George has newly made the false step (the word this here as it is impossible more to place), - but herewith was uzh so infinitely òåðïåëèâ, so invariably taken into account and mellow, so unshaksble believed that George is corrected... simply impossible was on it to get angry and not to try to behave better. Fortunately, nature generously îäåëèëà Katamoto childish naive feeling of the humour. As many japaneses, he was teeny, hardly five feets by growing, thin though and on rarity wiry, - and powerful torso George, broad shoulder, greater legs and a little not before knees drooping hands from the very beginning agitated in Katamoto irresistible ñìåøëèâîñòü. In the first once, as they were accidentally met in corridor, Katamoto, else afar çàâèäåâ George, did not remain and çàõèõèêàë; but when they drew even, sparkled the most broad, blinding áåëîçóáîé by smile, VWXbe cunning has threatened the finger and has said: - sink-sink! sink-sink! Scenka this was repeated several days contract, every time, as they happened to face in corridor. George got lost in guesswork. That mean these word? And why Katamoto can not their âûãîâîðèòü without laughter that his(its) so âåñåëèò? But after all any once, as George, having heard this "sink-sink", answers quizzical, âîïðîøàþùèì glance, Katamoto is called at by horselaugh, is straight torn slightly, on-baby stomps the leg in teeny shoe and VWXbe drafty laughter yelps: - Yes... yes... yes! You sink... òîïî÷åòå! And hastily runs away. Can be, enigmatic tipoffs on "patter", which invariably ended the blast of the laughter, are somehow connected with that that beside it, George, such greater legs? Can so Katamoto every time when meeting VWXbe cunning slants on them and sprinkles with laughter? However, solving has not forced itself long to wait. Once upon a time Katamoto rose on stairway and knocked to George. When that has opened the door, japanese has giggled, has flashed the áåëîçóáîé by smile and suddenly as if was embarrassed. Pomyalsya minute, newly through power smiled and has finally said: - Ask you, sir... Is Not pleased you... call at to me... on cup of tea? He âûãîâîðèë these word slowly, before extremity ceremonious, and then and there once again broadly, friendly smiled. George has said: "Thank you, with pleasure", - a parcel of land coat, and they ñîøëè downwards. Katamoto çàòîðîïèëñÿ onward, inaudible stepping teeny drumstick in soft home loafer. But loud, heavy steps George, is seen, have again aroused his(its) usual ñìåøëèâîñòü - midway he suddenly stopped, self-conscious has giggled and has shown the finger on legs of the fcompanion(satellite): - sink-sink! Topochete! It Was Turned and a little not running ed down to stairway and on corridor further, VWVroar with laughter, as small child. Has Waited beside door, has solemnly dissolved her(it) before guest, has presented his(its) thin nimble ÿïîíêå (without it, seems, impossible was âîîáðàçèòü this æèëèùå) and, finally, has conducted George in its cabinet and became to regale tea. Amazing that was æèëèùå. Katamoto has anew decorated best get old apartment and has surrounded her(it) according to its whimsial taste. The Ample room at heart, closely caught by all sort of things, whimsical ðàçãîðîæåííàÿ charming japanese screen, applied to labyrinth from comfortable small small piece of coal and cranny. Yes else Katamoto has built on the small ladder, she on galley, which stretched along three sewers, and there, upstairs, loomed the couch. Adown all are caught was a teeny table and ñòóëü÷èêàìè, but èìåëñÿ and luxurious sofa with ensemble pillow. And around uncountable strange âåùèöû, knick-knacks from carved stone and ivory, and all are imbrued by aroma of some smoking. However, in the middle rooms remained the started space, only floor was çàñòëàí çàëÿïàííîé by white canvas and towered the enormous gypsum figure. From words Katamoto George has understood that japanese concerns with the more profitable deal: delivers the sculptures for road restaurant and enormous, in fifteen feets âûøèíîé to statues of the local politicians for embellishment of the areas in small borough and even in capital staff like Arkansas, Nebraskas, Ayovy and Vayominga. Where and what has possessed Katamoto this strange craft, George as well as has not heard, but has possessed in perfection, before nicety, with truly japanese diligence and soundness, and his(its) products, see, found the greater demand, than work sculptor-american. In spite of small growing and as if frail adding, Katamoto was whole - personified energy and fit for really titanic labour. One god known, as he managed, whence only red power beside it. George something have asked about gypsum ãðîìàäèíå in the middle rooms, and Katamoto has his(its) ïîáëèæå and has shown on legs white âåëèêàíà: - He quite as you!.. sink-sink!.. Yes-yes... He òîïî÷åò! Afterwards tale George on ãàëåðåéêó, and George, what relies on, expressed its delight. - Yes-yes! You like? - Katamoto broadly, but not without embarrassment smiled George, has afterwards shown on couch: - I here splyu. - has Afterwards proded the finger in ceiling, such low that George could not ðàñïðÿìèòüñÿ in the whole growing, and with alive interest has asked: - But you sleep there? George has noded. Katamoto again çàóëûáàëñÿ, but spoke he with çàïèíêàìè now, obviously embarrassed: - I here, - he has shown the finger on its bed, - but you there, yes? He has ed on George nigh only with plea, with despair even... and suddenly George began to understand. - À, you want to say that I just on you? (Katamoto with relief has noded.) And when I stay up äîïîçäíà, you, probably, audible? - Yes-yes! - A Japanese hard kival. - Sometimes... - A Smile beside he was got íåìíîæêî pechalinaya. - Sometimes you... òîïî÷åòå! - With timid reproach he has threatened George finger and has giggled. - Oh, excuse me! - has said Dzhordzh. - I after all did not know that you sleep so... under most ceiling. When I work äîïîçäíà, I always go from corner in corner. Preskvernaya habit. Try to become unaccustomed to. - Ouch no! - was sincerely distressed Katamoto. - I do not want that you... as this you have said?.. changed the lifestyle!.. That you, sir, ïîìèëóéòå! It is Necessary íåìíîæêî, trifle - remove on night shoes! - He has shown the finger on their own soft slipper and with hope smiled Dzhordzhu. - You such like, yes? And again smiled its irresistible smile. Thereafter, of course, George went the building in slipper. But sometimes forgot be changed the shoes, and the next morning Katamoto again knocked to him. Never he did not get angry, was invariably òåðïåëèâ, mellow, flawlessly taken into account, but unfailingly called George to answer. - Again òîïî÷åòå! - exclaimed on. - Today in the night again sink-sink! And George asked the ïðîùåíüÿ and promised that anymore will, and Katamoto left, chuckling, and finally turned, VWXbe cunning threatened the finger, once again whooped: "sink-sink!" - and, choking laughter, run down with stairways. They became the friends. Went the months, and quite often, âîçâðàùàÿñü home, George caught the full corridor a longshoremen; they puffed and perspired, but Katamoto, with heads before sing in white dust and gypsum mite, seized by awe, as it were have not spoilt his(its) work, âèëñÿ around; he afraid and óìîëÿþùå smiled, convulsive gritted the teeny handles and suffered the thirst to help the deal: that whole âçäðîãíåò, that ìåòíåòñÿ dread and newly recoil, that cringes, that meanders all body - and incessantly repeats with tense, exquisite, âêðàä÷èâîé by courtesy: - Now here is you... please... a little!.. And you... yes-yes-yes! (He convulsive smiles.) O-oh!.. Yes-yes... We Ask you, sir!.. It is impossible ïîíèæå... a little... yes... yes-yes! - He moved to whisper and èñêàòåëüíî, with plea smiled. And longshoremens on a parts pulled out from house and âîäðóæàëè in van some Perikla from North Dakota - a monument of such amounts that remained marvel be given, as graceful and with type frail small ÷åëîâå÷åê óõèòðèëñÿ to make ýäàêóþ ãðîìàäèíó. Afterwards longshoremens left, and a certain time mister Katamoto subjected ïðàçäíîñòè and reposed the soul. He left in courtyard with its girlfriend, thin nimble ÿïîíêîé, in vein which, as judged by appearance, òåêëî else and little italian shelters, and they hour played in ball. Katamoto beat the ball in brick wall of the nearby building and at good luck any once çàëèâèñòî roared with laughter, slammed in ëàäîøè and under the end already grapped for belly and ate held up and about. Choked the laughter and, not litter itself from delight, piercing ÷àñòèë: - Yes-yes-yes! Yes-yes-yes! Yes-yes-yes! But if will notice in window George, is met with him glance - again çàêàòèòñÿ, threatens the finger and a little does not screech: - But who beside us òîïî÷åò?.. Yes-yes-yes!.. Today in the night again sink-sink! And in fit of irrepressible revelry ïîáðåäåò through courtyard, leans to wall and the whole bend, hold for lean tummy, and only weakly ñòîíåò from laughter. Hot summer was in most peak already, and in the first number of the August here is, returning home, George once again ed on longshoremen. On ñåé once, similars, lay ahead to carry the large cumbersome object else little more former. Katamoto, the whole çàëÿïàííûé white, of course, loomed up in ïðèõîæåé, worrisome smiled and óìîëÿþùå made a fuss around äþæèõ pair. When George fell into corridor, two moved backward him toward, they dragged èñïîëèíñêóþ head with áóëüäîæüèìè jaw and with seal befitting; the state husband made wiser sagacities on forehead. A little waiting from doors of the sculptor, moving backward, left else three, - ïûõòÿ, êðÿõòÿ and swearing, they âîðî÷àëè the piece flapping äîëãîïîëîãî of the frock coat and splendid êðóãëÿùååñÿ covered by waistcoat paunch. In the interim returned first two and newly appeared, rocking under gravity of the powerful leg in gypsum trousers, put on shoes in shoe, which ïðèøåëñÿ âïîðó Atlanta. One of the longshoremen, going for new share of the great statesman, snuggled to wall, giving him road. - Uh you! - has said on. - If this ñóêèí son on you approach its íîæèùåé, so and wet place will not remain, faithfully, Joe? The Last âûâîëîêëè ðó÷èùó gypsum Solon, she ended the compressed fist, only óêàçóþùèé finger solemnly protruded ââûñü, charming and reproaching. This was a masterpiece Katamoto, - George looked and felt that in gigantic lifted finger reached the tops an art and most life of the small sculptor. Certainly, this the most fondest his(its) creation. Never earlier George did not see his(its) such astir. The Longshoremens were poured with water over afterwards, but he, ãëÿäÿ on them, seems, âîçíîñèë of the prayer to íåáåñàì. Their rough, unwary touch to his(its) loved brainchild forced his(its) shudder. In smile, frozen on his(its) person, was a terror. He åæèëñÿ, writhed, gritting teeny handles, óìîëÿþùå something prattled. George had no doubt if anything ñòðÿñåòñÿ with this made someone look fat extended gypsum finger, Katamoto collapses lifeless. But finally this Ozimandiyu have successfully sunk in enormous van and have rolled away, but his(its) creator, small, òîùåíüêèé, definitively dislodged from power, stood on curb, in bewilderment ãëÿäÿ after. Then returned in house, has seen George and smiled miserable, labored smile. - sink-sink, - An âûäàâèë he from itself and has threatened the finger, but for the first time - weakly and âÿëî, without âñÿêîé of gaiety. Never before George did not see his(its) weary. Seemed, this small ÷åëîâå÷åê not at all knows to weariness. He was such alive, indefatigable. But here, is seen, quite âûäîõñÿ, and person some çåìëèñòîå... George for some unknown reason became sadly. Katamoto was silent the minute, has afterwards raised the head and âûìîëâèë ãëóõî, sad, but in voice his(its) all were drafty the curiosity: - You ñòàòóþ saw? Yes? - Yes, is Rolled, saw. - And liked you? - Yes, much. - And... - A Japanese has quietly sprinkled and âçìàõíóë rukami. - And legs saw? - Saw. - I so think... here is who will stamp the feet, yes? - And he weakly smirked. - Yes uzh probably, with ýäàêèìè hoof, - has said George and, a little having thought, has added: - Beside it nearly such íîæèùè, as beside me. Katamoto came to delight. - Yes-yes! - has caught he, thin çàñìåÿëñÿ and hard çàêèâàë. Was silent little and halfhearted, but now already not in power to hide the curiosity, has asked: - But finger saw? - Saw, is Rolled. - And liked? - was hasty, greedy question. - Much. - Big he, yes? - In voice Katamoto grew the triumph. - Very big, is Rolled. - And on-ka-zy-topples... yes? - with rapture pronounce Katamoto, broke into a smile before óøåé and has too proded the teeny ïàëü÷èêîì in íåáåñà. - Yes, shows. The Sculptor óìèðîòâîðåííî âçäîõíóë. It Is Seen was that he is consoled and complacent, as child. - That zh, - has said he, - I pleased that you liked. Hereon George since week did not see Katamoto and even did not recall about him. In School of the aplied arts were a vacation, and now George, not losing nor minute, days and night ñàìîçàáâåííî subjected to writing. And here is somehow under evening, äîêîí÷èâ big piece, he has chucked èñ÷åðêàííûå hasty karakul of the page in bosom of the paper on floor, with relief îòêèíóëñÿ on chair, has ed in window, leaving in courtyard, - and has suddenly thought about Katamoto. Something in recently that quite is not seen, and even not to hear the familiar ïîñòóêèâàíüÿ of the ball about wall and loud, piercing laughter. And, turns out to be, the whole this much come short... George became not on itself, alarmed, he has run down on stairway and has rung at the door Katamoto. No answer. The Silence. George has waited - nobody to he did not leave. Then he came down downwards and found the doorkeeper. That has said that mister Katamoto is been ill. No, like nothing serious, but doctor âåëåë repose, for time to leave become heavy work and has ed him(it) in nearby hospital, - there, breakwater, will and observation and care. George was going to to visit the buddy, yes was absorbed its new book and all postponed. À through several days, in the morning, âîçâðàùàÿñü home after morning meal in restaurant, he has seen before house van. The Door Katamoto was ðàñïàõíóòà, George has peeked: apartment îïóñòåëà, longshoremens already nearly all have stood. In the middle rooms, at one time struck George, where Katamoto so zealous toilled on their own brainchild, stood the familiar sculptor, young japanese, George his(its) here already met. Presently he ordered dispatch to furniture. Zaslyshav steps George, young japanese has raised the eye and has shown the teeths in the most courteous icy smile. He has not said nor word while George has not asked, as health of mister Katamoto. Then all with the same áåëîçóáîé by icy smile, with same impervious courtesy he has reported that mister Katamoto moderate;temper. George was stunned. Has Stood little, understood that to say here íå÷åãî, and, however, feelling, as all this feels in like minute: something say necessary... Has Ed on young japanese, has opened was a mouth - and has met polite, impervious, closed glance most Asia. And did not become nothing speak. Has Only thanked the young person and left. 4. THAT NEVER is CHANGED From windows, leaving on street, George is the only thing seen was óãðþìàÿ ãðîìàäèíà storehouse through road. This was gloomy, ugly domino rueful rusty-borax of the colour, the whole in hard web of the fire escape; on facade from the end old wooden signboard stretched in the end, but on her faded, nearly illegible letter was listed: "Agency of delivery". George from knew that for piece agency deliveries, but thereafter, as he was settled on this street, day did not pass to to áóðîìó to building did not drive up the enormous lorries; neatly ïðèìåðèâàÿñü, they moved backward the back until were selected âïëîòíóþ to èñòåðòûì board of the loading platform, edge which was steeply torn off on height four feets on sidewalk. The Chauffeurs and their handyman jumped down to the ground, and immediately taciturn depths of the old building filled the frantic noise a worker put, air beeped from cutting shout: - give Back, you, there! give Back! Let's, let's! Posobite-ka, boys! Hey, you! The Persons beside these people were rough, they ãëÿäåëè the friend on friend derisive, low swore, twisting lips. And frantic were nibbled, asserting oneself, not wanting do nor on hair more, than as one should: - But me what deal, where carry! This is your care, devil cover! YA-to under than? Worked they quickly, with amazing power and knack, ferocious, trouble, their whipped some cruel enxiety, and noisy voice sounded spiteful. The Enormous city was this people æåñòîêîñåðäîé by mother, and âñêîðìèëà she their bitterness. They were born amongst brick and asphalt, in high-rise human hive, on êèøàùèõ folk street, with infancy their lulled the deafening clank suddenly swooping train íàäçåìêè, ñûçìàëüñòâà they learned;learnt to fight, threaten, be nibbled and beaten off in the world of the ferocious violence, incessant noise and boom - a city has imposed on them indelible stigma, got into their flesh and blood, acid âúåëñÿ in their motion and speech, in their thoughts and notions. The Rough persons their were èññå÷åíû wrinkle, çàãðóáåâøàÿ sulfuric skin is woke;waked whole èññîõëà and has faded. Most pulse beside they as if fought in frantic rhythm of the city; the twisted lips ready instant to regurgitate the clanking iron a swearing, in heart çàòàèëàñü exorbitant gloomy ãîðäûíÿ. And showers their were befitted asphalt image of the town streets. Each day on he were worn out frantic paints of a thousands of the new sensations - and each day all sounds, all paints, the whole fury newly sweeped away without trace with this stubborn armour. Ten thousand frantic days ïðîíåñëîñü on them - and nothing do not remain in their memories. They are a veins exactly essence, given birth only today and immediately adult, with each breath they are polished disposed from past, and the whole their life was concluded in one only persisting minute. And as they were VWVrepeat over and over again and sure of itself, always wrong, but always presumptuous. They never varied, did not confess in ignorance and mistake, did not know the doubts. Each morning they began the taunt, shout, hasty rough swearing, him was not tolerated îêóíóòüñÿ in day tumult. At noon they firmly sat in their own machine and VWXbe drafty halitosis of benzine and ðàçîãðåòûõ motor in âñåóñëûøàíèå cursed on than light cost(stand)s the mean stunts an adversary, which managed their outstrip, and tyrant police, addle-brained pedestrian, and misses congener, not so skilful in the same craft. Each day they met to dangers, which threatened him street, so unflappable, is woke;waked rolled on deaf byroad. Each day, eye not having twinkled, they set off in adventures, before which dread and despair has retreated the most brave native of the godforsaken fringes. Searching damp and cool early springtime they went in black woolly blouse and êîæàíûõ jacket, but presently, summer, worked the ïîëóãîëûå - and is seen was, as on thin æèëèñòûõ body, under tan and tattoo, the snake meander the muscles. George looked at their powerful and exact motion respectful and hardly not with shame. Ibo near by life of these people, which learned;learnt to the best advantage to use their own power and talents, his(its) own life, tearing his(its) irreconcilable blasts and desires, dim plans and çàìûñëû, works, begun with hope and, as often could be, abandoned midway, - all seemed stupid, invalid, all went blindfold and somehow. But five once at week on night along curb was formed up in taciturn waiting the most long caravan. Now vans were a covered tarpaulin, on right and port side blazed the green flash-lights yes reddish smoulderred the îãîíüêè of the cigarettes so hardly possible was distinguish the person of the people, which low exchanged remarks in shade of their own enormous machines. Somehow George has asked one chauffeur, where they go on night, and that has explained: in Philadelphia, turn to morning. In these night machine, such gloomy and calm, vein, however, powerful power and impatience, as if and they, as chauffeurs, only waited the order äâèíóòüñÿ in way, and from this for George suddenly all became mysterious and glad. These people belongs to to great brotherhood one, loves the night, and his(its) connect same tie with them. After all night always was him not in example ìèëåå day, and all his(its) creativities reached the high incandescence in indulged exulting embrace of the night darkness. He introduce;make familiar with were and joys, and heavy labour such here is people. Before eye got up darkenning âåðåíèöà of the machines that with ãðîìûõàíüåì rolled through sleeping city, and person he doused the darkness, become cool äûõàíüåì flap. He saw, what bent on rudder chauffeurs - they on the alert, all essence âñëóøèâàþòñÿ in lilac semidarkness and âïèâàþòñÿ the eye in road, ÷òîá be somehow fenced from deserted night elbowroom. introduce;make familiar with Him were and wayside buffets, where they stop to have a bite, çàáåãàëîâêè, opened day and night, - there heat dawn the turbid lamps and that emptily, áåçëþäíî, only äðåìëåò for rack master - an important greek in white apron, that suddenly all are filled by shuffling and patter of feet, loud sharp voice streamed by crowd chauffeur. They enter, sit down on put(deliver)ed in row stool and book meal. And wait, and hunger their all sharp from scent purely male meal - boiling coffee, fried eggses, and roasted pommel, and hissing on pan steak, but while acerbic, priceless and nothing not costing consolation serves him cigarette, they çàêóðèâàþò, çàñëîíèâ flicker by palm beside hard lips, and are deeply delayed, and slow smoke ñòðóèòñÿ from íîçäðåé. They generously water the steaks by thick tomato sauce, dark, íåîòìûâàþùèìèñÿ finger break ëîìòè fragrant bread and eat quickly, greedy, with ferocious enjoyment attack on plate and mug, exactly wild beast on mining. About, he with them, he of them and for them, he on-fraternal is done with them joy and hunger, before the last greedy gulp, before the last óáëàãîòâîðåííîãî breath to blessed satiety, before the last slowly, with enjoyment âûäîõíóòîãî smoky êîëå÷êà. In êîëäîâñêîé to year darkness their life seemed him beautiful. Here is they race VWXbe drafty night in dawning, in matutinal ïòè÷üè canto, in morning, carrying land new joy. And when he about this thought, he seemed - ïîòàåííî æèâóùåå in darkness frantic and solitary heart human always young and can not die. All that summer, summer 1929, he saw in áîëüøîì window storehouse opposite some person, who sat for writing-tables, in one always and same pose, and looked at street. When George nor âñêèíóë of the eye, that invariably sat pack;fold hands, being crowded in window frozen, sightless glance. At first George his(its) nearly did not notice, such that was colourless, unostentatious, is woke;waked accustomed spot on panned out îáîÿõ. But afterwards his(its) has noticed Ester and once upon a time, having noded in his(its) side, has said merrily: - But here is and our buddy from agency of delivery! As you think that he there delivers? How much I review, he nor reek finger about finger has not knocked! No, you has called attention? - with zest âîñêëèêíóëà ona. - Simply inconceivable! - She aloud burst out laughing, quizzical has shrugged and a little waiting continued already seriously, bewildered: - a Truth, strange? Well that, on-òâîåìó, capable to do such person? As on-òâîåìó, about than he thinks? - Do Not know, - indifferently was called back Dzhordzh. - Nor about than, probably. And they have forgotten about this person and have spoken of its, but thereafter presence of the strange neighbour äîñàæäàëî George, and he as çàâîðîæåííûé became be supervised and guess - why that sits is woke;waked èñòóêàí and where was crowded? And Ester now each day, a little not with threshold, sneaked;snuck a peek at window opposite and exclaimed with merry satisfaction, with what find introduce thing on accustomed place: - Aha, our old friend from delivery still peers into window! Curiously enough, but today he about than was conceived? And with laughter was turned away. The Minute-another, as always on-baby yielding to charm of the words and rhythm, soundless dried peaches something without sense and sense: "Äîñòàâêà-îáñòàâêà-òðàâêà-ìóðàâêà-âåðáàâêà..." - and finally, jubilant, in singsong voice, heralded: He is deliveries has not delivered, From work has not placed! George declared that this not verse, but nonsence, but Ester, çàïðîêèíóâ head, the whole red, roared with laughter before tears. However gradually they ceased to laugh, ãëÿäÿ on this person. His(its) service seemed enigmatic, his(its) incredible ïðàçäíîñòü first their only amused, but afterwards they have felt in this strange, frozen glance something commanding, important, even awesome. From day to day before eye of this person with thunder was carried on street busy life; from day to day drived up the enormous vans, seethed the human whirlpool - hastily, with fury did its deal chauffeurs, longshoremens, packers, yelled, swore... but person beside window nor reek on they have not looked, nothing has not shown that hears them, he as if completely their did not notice, simply sat, being crowded in window frozen, sightless glance. On its age George Uebber saw the a great deal an ensemble any, seamingly, ïóñòÿ÷íûõ of the trivialities, which, however, heaveses in memory, have stuck in her, is woke;waked ðåïüè in ñîáà÷üåé itch; and always exactly some ìåëî÷èøêà slammed into him in heart, instant lighting up openning something infinitely deep and significant. So, he has remembered, has remembered for ever, serious and shining person Ester, - as it has unexpected flashed up before him and immediately disappeared in sulphur to faceless crowd on Tayms-garden. And were in the same way remembered two ãëóõîíåìûõ, which talked with each other on finger in coach metro; and laughter äåòâîðû that suddenly çàçâåíåë at hour of the sundown on rueful áåçëþäíîé to street; and girls, which he saw from window, leaving in ïðîóëîê, as they in their own closet from day to day again and again wipe and iron the sleazy garbs in eternal waiting the guest - one, never to he will not come. And here is now to this carefully prestored in memories trifle was added person stranger from agency of delivery - stupid, pale, impervious, and this as if forever frozen indifferently-sad glance. In enormous city, in febrile seething chaos, where all so quickly appears and passes, disappears and is then and there forgotten, always alike, calm, impassive person this became for George symbol íåçûáëåìîñòè. Ibo day for daytime observed he this person and tried to solve his(its) secret - and finally, seemed, found the answer. And afterwards much years were recalled him this person, and always - such, what he saw him(it) somehow under evening at the end summer. The Calling at sun already does not blind and not zhzhet, only paints heated per diem brick of the old building by some sad ghostly light. À beside window, as always, sits that person and looks, looks. Not äðîãíåò íåìèãàþùèé glance, calm and sad, and person of this person - exactly wall of the prison, where suffers the captive spirit. The Person his(its) became for George image of the Darkness and Time. It was silent, and, however, he had a voice - a voice, which as if spoke whole land. That was a voice of the evening and nights, and in he met âîåäèíî speech all that that got through ãîðÿ÷êó and fury of the day and now peacefully rested in evening windowsills. In him was whole bounless silence and weariness that covers the city in twilight, when îêîí÷èëñÿ one more hectic day and all around - a streets, building, eight million people - with weary and sad relief slowly take breath. And in this single dumb voice possible was distinguish all their ðàçíîÿçûêèå a speech. - A Child, - spoke this voice, - a child, take the patiences and faiths, èáî from many days consists the life, and any hour persisting blowjob. The Son, son, you could be mad and drunk, mad and frantic, you âëàäåëè hate, and despair, and all dark boers, what shake the human shower, - but so could be and with us. You made sure that land too great - her(its) not to embrace for one òâîþ life, you made sure, your brain and muscles where weak, than burning their desires and longings, - but so could be always and with all. You stumbled in mirk, thrashed about on crossroad, wandered, lost with roads, - but, child, so from age ïîâåëîñü on this land. And now that you èçâåäàë madness and despair and not yet once îò÷àåøüñÿ newly, previously than íàñòàíåò evening, - we that already tried to take fit this frantic land and have tolerated defeat, we, who carried to madnesses íåïîñòèæèìàÿ bitter secret ëþáâè, who thirsted glories and has felt all, than packed life, - dismay, pain, fury, - and here is now, sitting beside window, peacefully look at all that never already us do not âñòðåâîæèò, - we speak you: buck up, èáî, believe, all will pass. For our age has flashed and was changed so much modes, so much appeared and died out the novelty, so much were forgotten words, so much names âîçíîñèëîñü in glow of the glory and fell in abyss; but now we know, we short guests, whose steps do not leave the trace on endless road of the lifes. We anymore shall enter in the mirk, does not ïîääàäèìñÿ the torments of the madness, do not confess in despair; we were enclosed by deaf wall. We already not to come to listen, as watch beat off time under alien sky, and awake in the morning in someone else country with thought about ðîäíîì house: our wanderings îêîí÷åíû and hunger is slaked. The Brother, son, comrade, know; aware, we long veins and much saw - and that's why now us enough possess quite a little, and let all rest in the world goes by us. There is on light such that never is changed. There is such that remains for ever. Prilini ear to the land and listen;hear. The Prattle timber creek in nights, laughter of the women(woman) in the dark, voiced fractional patter gravel under ãðàáëÿìè, noonday chirping grasshopper on sultry meadow, the most fine web baby voice at clear day - here is that íàâåêè invariably. The Glares sun on playing wave, glow of the stars, purity morning, salty breathing epidemic deathes in harbour, branch in íàáóõøèõ bud, shrouded by haze, the most gentile plumage of the newborn foliage, and in all this something fleeting, íàâåêè elusive, sharp thorn piercing heart springtime, piercing dumb call, - here is that remains the íàâåêè unchangeable. All that from most land, does not change - a sheet, áûëèíêà, flower, wind, which ïëà÷åò, and falls asleep, and is aroused newly, and tree, whose numb hands shudder and knocks the friend about friend in mirk, and ashes very long ago çàðûòûõ in the land âëþáëåííûõ, - all that gives birth the land at each time of the year, all that flows and is changed and newly appears on the land, - all this ïðåáóäåò unchangeable, èáî arises out of the land, but she is not changed, and returns in the land, but she - eternal. One only land íåïðåõîäÿùà, and she ïðåáûâàåò the âîâåêè. And tarantula, echidna, viper too are not changed. The Pain and death for ever remain same. But something fight, as if pulse, under asphalt bridge, fights, as if shout, under stone of the buildings, under heavy step leaving time, under cruel êîïûòîì beast, crushing bones city, something sprout, as flower, newly breaks from the land and, immortal, íàâåêè faithfull, newly comes alive, as if April. 5. INDULGED TERROR He with curiosity has ed on yellow envelope, has twirlled him(it) in hand. Strange, there was see VWXbe drafty transparent cover its name, why-that he has felt and awkwardness, and reserved emotion. Not to got accustomed he gets the telegrams. And instinctively lingered, did not open the envelope, terribly was hear that there, inwardly. Some long ago forgotten event in the childhood has inspired him that telegram always carries evil to lead. Who could her(its) send? About than she? So âñêðîé her(it), oaf, and read! He has broken the envelope, has taken out the slip. First go ãëÿíóë on signature - a telegram was from uncle, Mark Dzhoynera. And has read: "Your aunt Mey has died in the night point burial thursday Libiya-õèëëå point arrive home if ìîæåøü". And all. Nor word about that, from what she has died. Sooner whole, from old age. Nothing other could not her(its) kill. She nothing did not be ill, not that his(its) have notified earlier. This news shocked him(it). But not so powerfully was a grief, as sensation of the enormous loss, as if even some natural disaster... the losses, in which simply is not believed, is woke;waked suddenly ceased to act certain great power most natures. This was not contained in consciousness. For the first time since has died his(its) mother (George was then the whole eight years), aunt Mey was the most strong and unflinching pillar in the world his(its) childhood. Aging virgo, senior sister his(its) full-grown and uncles Mark, she has undertaken the care about boy and in his(its) education has invested whole passion and zeal of its prudish nature. All power tried she grow his(its) hereby Dzhoynerom, worthy scion of the closed tribe from mountain muffle;deaden, to which belonged to she itself. She this not to manage, and his(its) apostasy from truly äæîéíåðîâñêîé äîáðîïîðÿäî÷íîñòè forced her(its) deeply suffer. He long ago this knew; but only now clear, than ever earlier, he has understood: she always unfailingly performed that felt it the duty. He was recalled, as she vein, and íåâûðàçèìàÿ pity, love and tenderness çàõëåñòíóëà him(it), has rushed to throat and hardly not çàäóøèëà. Always for the first time since he remembered itself, aunt Mey seemed him äðåâíåé by old woman, old as the world. He and was presently heard her(its) voice - hoarsely, on one note pulled she endless tale about past, inhabitting world his(its) childhood crowd Dzhoynerov, which have long ago died out its and buried in mountain Zibulona else before Civil war. And hardly not each her(its) tale was a debt pepper ill, deaths and griefs. She knew thoroughly all about all Dzhoynerov for the last one hundred years, knew, who has carried away the consumption, but who inflammation light, meningitis or pellagra, and obviously enjoyed, hoarse voice resurrecting each event from their lifes. She drew the boy his(its) ðîäè÷åé with mountains by dull paints of the eternal poverty and suddenly overtaking deaths, and awesome picture this newly and newly lighted;lit up the ghostly flash of lightning interference ïîòóñòîðîííèõ of power. The Aunt Mey was run away that almighty god itself has provided with Dzhoynerov special gratis, attached them to the world spirit: that and deal anyone of them be declared in absence of people on deserted road and çàãîâàðèâàë with solitaries wayfarer, but afterwards it appears that in this most time he was for ïîëñîòíè of the miles from that place. Always they were heard mysterious voice, always their overcame the trouble of the presentiment. If unexpected-íåãàäàííî died someone from ñîñåäåé, with the whole counties for much miles flowed together Dzhoynery and sat near decedent, and in ïëÿøóùèõ reflection of the centre, where blazed the ñîñíîâûå a log, the whole night through interpreted about that, as else for week something have predicted him this íåìèíó÷óþ ruin, and only crackle showerring corner occasionly broke deaf, even æóææàíüå their voice. Such a was a look of the world Dzhoynerov, which formed in shower and in thought of the boy from inexhaustible recollection of the aunts Mey. And beside he appeared the strange feeling, is woke;waked, unlike all people, to whom fated to live its period and die, Dzhoynery - a special sort and not ïîäâëàñòíû this law. They eat the death and triumph over her, and will not yield to her in ages of the ages. But now aunt Mey, the most senior and most, seemed, immortal from all Dzhoynerov, has died... The Burial are nominated on thursday. Today tuesday. If leave the train today, tomorrow he will be a building. But, certainly, already presently all tribe Dzhoynerov with mountains neighborhood Zibulon in Old Ketoube is going to together to manage èçâå÷íûé rite íàäãðîáíîãî vigils, and if arrive so early, nowhere óêðîåøüñÿ from these terrible, anguish directing talk. Better wait out the day and ïîäãàäàòü to most burial. On courtyard - a first numbers of the September. The Occupations in School of the aplied arts íà÷íóòñÿ only in medium of the month. Already several years George were not in Libiya-õèëëå and has now thought - possible conduct there since week, newly on native places. Only here is, the awe takes at thoughts be settled amongst ðîäè÷åé Dzhoynerov, yes as far back as time of the mourning. And here he was recalled next-door neighbor, Rendi SHepperton. The Parents Rendi already no above-ground, senior sister left married and has somewhere left. Beside Rendi in Libiya-õèëëå not bad service, and lives he all in the same house together with the other sister, Margaret, she leads the facilities. Probably, possible stop beside them. They will caught. And George gave Rendi telegram, asked to shelter him(it) for week and reported, what train will arrive. For the other day, when George has gone on Pensilivanskiy station, the first convulsion from lead about deaths of the aunty Mey already óëåãëîñü. Think terribly, before what easy wit human is used to the whole on light, and particularly graphically this reveals itself in his(its) inconceivable æèçíåñòîéêîñòè, in abilities to ñàìîçàùèòå and self-preservation. Only did not collapse all bases your áûòèÿ - and if you young, çäîðîâ by spirit and beside you else there is time, you become reconciled with inevitable and already ready to meet the new adversities, as if feasible gloomy determination american tourist, which, hardly having arrived in new city and looked over on sides, is businesslike notified: "Well, but now where?" So was and with George. The Liing ahead burial brought him(it) in terror, but before they remained else day; but while that ahead of long watch in train, - and here is, çàïðÿòàâ sadness and dejection in distant corner showers, he affords while that íàñëàäèòüñÿ the glad emotion, what always arouses in him trip on railway. The Station has met his(its) swooping from afar bounless drone of time. In sex askew abutted against the broad bands of the light, and in they swarmed the myriads a speck; and, âîçíîñÿñü on êèøàùåé adown indefatigable òûñÿ÷åãîëîñîé by crowd, under code of the enormous common-room unflappable sounded the voice of time. In him was as it were heard murmur distant epidemic deathes, slow splash lazy running up on sand and newly retreating waves. He was a befitted poetries, aloof, indifferent to human life. They were infused in it, exactly dripped äîæäÿ - in river, dignified rolling their own water from depths turning crimson on sundown of the mountains. Not much there is on light of the buildings so enormous to contain the voice of time, and presently George thought - simply splendid that for the best for this approach the stations. After all here, as nowhere, people on wink brings together beginning or the end their incalculable wandering, here see their meeting and ðàññòàâàíüÿ, here in one ìãíîâåíüå before you open whole human fate. The People come and leave, flash and disappear, each any living minute draws near to deaths, and teeny pendulum, counting out ìãíîâåíüÿ each, enters in united çâó÷àíèå time, - but voice of time remains indifferent and unflappable: eternal äðåìîòíûé murmur under èñïîëèíñêèìè distant code. All here, men and women(woman), absorbed each its wandering. In ceaseless rotation of crowd beside each - its direction and its purpose. Each there is its journey, and nobody no deal before someone else. Sitting in departure lounge, George has noticed the person, who terribly was afraid to miss its train. From emotion him was not sat on place, he febrile made a fuss, hailled the porter, but when will go to pay-desk to buy the ticket, happened to to queue up - and he a little did not jump from íåòåðïåíüÿ and continually âçãëÿäûâàë on watch. Afterwards, slitherring on èñòåðòûì plate flap, to him çàñïåøèëà wife; else afar she çàêðè÷àëà: - Well, you has taken the tickets? Beside us time barely enough! We shall miss the train! - Know Itself! - with annoyance çàêðè÷àë in answer muzh. - I and so from skin halitosis lezu. - And has added aloud, angrily: - Can, we shall else have time to if this, ïåðåäî me, will cease to dig and take finally ticket. The Persons stood ahead of, threatening was turned: - Will Wait, will wait the small size! You one that, it is necessary to on train! I a little early you came. All wait its queue, and you will wait. The wrangle was Tied. The People äîæèäàâøèåñÿ behind these two, have begun be irritated and grumble. The Teller impatiently çàñòó÷àë on its window, has afterwards peered and discontented was crowded on controversialist. Some punk in tail çàâîïèë: - Will Yes go you to devil thence and there understand! Miss us! Nechego all delay! But here is worrisome ÷åëîâå÷åê has got the tickets and, from emotion beside oneself, with all legs was rushed to its porter. The Good-natured negro has met his(its) the most broad smile. - Hurry-that you nor to that. Before train of time gap. Nowhere he without you not óéäåò. Who they, these travelliers, for which time convolute in thin ïðóæèíêó by blue steels, ñóíóòóþ each in pocket? Here is, to example, negro has pulled in unite Georgia; the rich young landowner with Hudson goes to Washington to visit the mother; the director of the local branch of the company of the agricultural machines and three his(its) subordinated return with convention; the chapter of one of the godforsaken banks in Old Ketoube, turned out to be recently under threat of the ruin, dashed together with two local politicians in NEW YORK to plead the local banker for loan, but now goes âîñâîÿñè; the dark greek in brown shoe, with cardboard ÷åìîäàí÷èêîì, mistrustful áëåñòÿ eye, peeks in window of the pay-desk and suspicious asks: - À for ticket before Pittsburgh how much will take? The Ladylike type of the young person, charge one of new-éîðêñêèõ institute, leaves to read the weekly lecture about theatricses in lady club of the city Trentona, staff New-Jersey; the poetess from Indiana from somewhere, on its îáûêíîâåíèþ, once at year enjoyed in NEW YORK "life of the bohemians"; the boxer with its manager goes on match in Sent-Luis; the company student from Prinstona has conducted summer in Europe and before begin occupation hurry from close up visit native; then and there soldier, ordinary UNITED STATES army, with type good-for-nothing, uncouth and scruffy, as all ordinary in UNITED STATES army; and rector of the university one of the staff MIDWEST, eloquent appealled in NEW YORK to trustee about financial help; and paircouple íîâîáðà÷íûõ with coast Missisipi, beside these all íîâåõîíüêîå with èãîëî÷êè - and cloth and valises, but person afraid, hostile and stunned; and two puny ôèëèïïèíöà with coffee-brown skin and thin, ïòè÷üèìè pit, discharged, ùåãîëåâàòûå, as mannequins in shop window; and provincials from New-Jersey that went in big city for buying; and women(woman) and very young girls, which were chosen from some south here and west ãîðîäèøåê, who on vacation, who in guests, who ïîðàçâëå÷üñÿ and êóòíóòü; the directors and agents provincial shop ready charge with all end of the country, - this are necessary îáçàâåñòèñü the novelty a stiletto and modes; new-éîðêñêèå to inhabitants person storehouse, voluptuous fops, brilliant, exquisite and cool, âñåçíàþùèå and self-confident, go ïîðàçâëå÷üñÿ in Atlantik-city; ïîáëåêøèå, scruffy, fagged out full-grown are scolded and twitch for becoming very thin ðó÷îíêè dirty ðåáÿòèøåê; the òåìíîëèöûå gloomy, haughty italian with dark untidy, run wife, sullen, but submissively taking and ìóæíþþ lust, and ìóæíèå beating; and stylish americans, which will not tame neither bed, nor lash, - beside them certain, sharp voice, challenging glance, they beautifully built, but is polished are deprived alive flexibility of the spirit and bodies, alien ëþáâè, passions, tendernesses, what that nor was femininity and softness. Who here only no, what only do not see the wayfarer: poor persons with hardened, stone persons - personified deep province of the spirit and rafts; the frayed losers with ÷åìîäàíèøêàìè, in which the only thing there is that shirt yes âîðîòíè÷îê with tie, - seems, they are always dumped with passing train in soot and dust all new ãîðîäèøåê in hope that although here him finally ïîâåçåò; the miserable vagrants and íèê÷åìóøíèêè, tumbleweed with the whole country; áîãàòûå, glossy, experienced travelliers, which too often and too far carried away the uncountable ensemble luxurious train and steamship and which never already do not peer into window; the oldsters and old womans from godforsaken muffle;deaden, which for the first time visitted their own äåòåé in áîëüøîì city, - they continually throw on sides cautios glances, beside them quick, suspicious eye, beside birds exactly or çâåðåíûøà, and they all time on the alert, mistrustful, timid. Here, there is people, which all see and understand; and such that ãëóõè and blind to the whole on light, weary, sullen, discontented; and such that rejoice, yells and roar with laughter, delighted with liing ahead roads; one push one another and climb VWXbe drafty crowd, other quietly cost(stand) in ñòîðîíêå and look and wait; beside other person derisive or haughty, but other îùåòèíèëèñü, look ferocious, here is-will here is climb in fight. Young and old, áîãàòûå and poor, jew and õðèñòèàíå, negroes, italian, greeks, american - all of these ñîøëèñü here, on station, infinitely varied fates their have suddenly found total çâó÷àíèå, were performed deep and gloomy çíà÷èòåëüíîñòè, collected together and embraced incessant, solid and âñåïîãëîùàþùèì drone of time. The Place George was in coach K19. Inherently, coach this nothing did not differ from the other ïóëüìàíîâñêèõ coach, but for George he was quite especial. After all exactly K19 from day to day linked with each other dieresis in miscellaneous end mainland - a largest city of the country and locating from it on eight hundred miles Libiya-hill, teeny ãîðîäèøêî, where George was born. Each day at hour thirty five he left from NEW YORK and arrived in Libiya-hill on the other morning in eleven twenty. Falling into coach, George instant to carry from ðàçíîëèêîãî and overbroad âîêçàëüíîãî ìíîãîëþäüÿ in familiar cozy corner of the home town. Possible leave from there for long years and for all time not to see nor one familiar person; possible wander on foriegn land and wander on edge of the light; possible reward the infant a root mandrakes, hear singing the mermaids, understand and remember by heart melodies ñèðåí; possible whole age to live and work the hermit in gorge Manhattan while most recollection about house does not èñòàåò, will not become distant, as dream, - but hardly George fell into coach K19, all at once returned, legs his(its) concerned the hard land: he once again building. Unholy, nearly horribly. And that the most amazing and enigmatic - on this appointment possible to come each day at hour thirty five exactly; it is necessary only to get on busy streets, in flow of the people and machines, before âûñî÷åííûõ doors of the enormous station, îäîëåòü boiling in âåñòèáþëå human whirlpool, where always face arriving and riding off, cross the huge common-rooms, occupied All and Each, elbowrooms, where sounds the ghostly voice of time, come down on steep step, - and here, at heart tunnel, under this world, ãóäÿùèì life, exactly hive, on its unchangeable place, with type just the same, as all his(its) dirty congeners from soot, cost(stand)s the coach K19. The Conductor, smiling in the whole mouth, has taken beside George valise. - You, sir, mister Uebber! With joy you to, sir! You Go to visit their own? Going for him on green corridor to its place, George has explained that goes on burial of the aunt. The Merry smile immediately went out, person beside negro became serious and respectful. - Gorestno me this hears, sir, - has said he, swing golovoy. - Yes, sir, much ãîðåñòíî me such hears. Have Not haved time to îòçâó÷àòü these word, as George îêëèêíóëè behind, and he, not yet having turned, on voice has heard, who with he çäîðîâàåòñÿ. This was a Salt Ayzeks, owner of the shop ready charge, - of course, went in NEW YORK to buy goods, he always performed this journey four times per annum. òåïëåå Became even somehow Beside George on shower, when he has understood that old merchant all in the same way are unfailingly believed its habit, and has newly seen this friendly physiognomy with êðþ÷êîâàòûì by nose and êðè÷àùå strike the eye shirt, bright tie, smart light-gray suit (the Salt always was known as çàâçÿòûé fashion plate). Afterwards George was looked over - no else familiar? Yes, here is high, dry and lean, that ãëÿäè, is overcome, èçæåëòà-pale banker Dzharvis Rigz something discuss with two other ëèáèÿ-õèëëñêèìè pillar, occupying pew opposite. George has heard the mayor - round-faced, âÿëî good-natured Baxter Kennedy; near by him, having exposed awkward íîæèùè in corridor and îòêèíóâ on back of the pews head, decorated, exactly tonsure, big bald spot in fringe black hair, ðàññåëñÿ fat and obese, as ox, Pastor Flek; when he spoke, flabby cheeks his(its) quaked; he was in Libiya-õèëëå main political çàïðàâèëîé, but nickname Pastor has got that did not miss nor one of prayer meeting in Kempbelitskoy öåðêâè. All three raged, spoke aloud, and before George äîëåòàëè scrap talk: - A Market street - else, from Market I and refuse itself not! - Gey Radd for its feet on facade asks two thousand. And will get, wake certain. I have taken two with half and nor cent less, only I shall not sell. - A Year will not pass, the price for feet will all three thousand, ïîìÿíèòå my word! And this not all! This else only beginning! Really they interpret about Libiya-hill? Uzh much this unalike on sleepy mountain ãîðîäèøêî, familiar him with cribs. George rose and ïîäîøåë to that three. - À, sound, Uebber! Sound, sonny! - A Pastor Flek has writhed ãðèìàñó, which was to express the friendly smile, has exposed on display greater æåëòûå zuby. - Pleased you to see. What ïîæèâàåøü, sonny? George has shaken the hands all three and stopped the tax them. - We heard, as you talked with conductor, when entered, - has said the mayor and has made a face solemnly-sorrowful minu. - Sympathize, sonny. We nothing do not know. The Safe week stayed away on a trip. Sudden deceased?.. Yes, yes, understandable. That zh, your aunty was at year already. At such age it happens to to be hereto ready. Good was a woman, very good. Sympathize, sonny, sting that you return home on such sad cause. Has Come the short silence, as if other two hinted that mayor has voiced and their feeling too. Expressible thereby respect to ïîêîéíèöå, Dzharvis Riga active has spoken: - It is Necessary you to stay the building ïîäîëüøå, Uebber. Itself see, our city not to hear. The Deals prosper. Only the other day Poppy-Dzhadson âûëîæèë three hundred thousand for Manufacturing storehouse. The Rubble this, certainly, ãðîø price, but he paid for the land. On five thousand for feet. Rather well for Libiya-faded, but? The Company Rivza îòêóïèëà whole land on Parker-ñòðèò, commencing from Parker-faded. They want çàñòðîèòü this area under offices and shops. And so on the whole city. In five years our Libiya-hill will most big and beautiful city in staff. Pomyani my word. - Yes, - with understanding type has supported the Pastor Flek and commanding çàêèâàë. - And I heard, they wanted to buy the area to your uncles on South Meyn-ñòðèò, at the corner area. Some syndicate is going to to carry ñêîáÿíóþ commissary, but on her(its) place to build the big hotel, But your äÿäþøêà sell did not become. His(its) will not call on. In ðàñòåðÿííîñòè and perplexity George returned on its place. He already several years were not a building, and he wanted to see the home town such, what that remained in memories. But there, is seen, all were changed. That occurs? Simply understand it is impossible. Worrisome and Vaguely he became - so always can be, when suddenly you are Opened, what changes Time all that was introduce;make familiar with and accustomed with cribs. The Train ïóëåé flashed by on tunnel under Hudson, has flown on blinding light ïîñëåïîëóäåííîãî september sun and now carry on flat, rueful plain of the staff Jersey. George looked, as for window change each other smoulderring bosom of the rubbish, marsh, çàêîï÷åííûå factories, and enjoyed: before what this sound - roll the train! Quite not that to look at wearing out train on the part of. For outside spectator train - swooping thunder, ñâåðêàíüå lever, hot squall whistling pair, solid to flashed by the coach, wall äâèæåíüÿ and noise, screech, wail, but afterwards - an emptiness, loss: here is all and have left, - although and do not know, who there was. And suddenly feel, before what enormous and deserted America, before what measly all these teeny ñóùåñòâîâàíüèöà, ïðîíåñøèåñÿ on bounless mainland past. But here is when you itself in coach, then all on-other. After all train - a miraculous making the hands human, and all in him eloquent is indicative of human will and öåëåóñòðåìëåííîñòè. Feel, as they are included brake, when composition approaches to river, and know, throttle controls skilful and hard hand. Sit in train - and itself certain feel itself man, ruler of the things. But people, around - before what they alive, persisting! On made someone look fat black man of the conductor with blinding white teeth and âçäóâøåéñÿ for ear by big shot ãëÿäèøü as on old friend, becomes the òåïëåå on shower. Sharp-eyed âñìàòðèâàåøüñÿ in all contract pretty girl, and more often knocks the heart. With alive interest look at all passenger, and seems, for ages sign with them. The next morning nearly all of these for ever óéäóò from your life; other taciturn is disappeared for night, under hopeles snore rest, doped ñíîì; but presently all them in rash motion has connected strange fleeting vicinity because this ïóëüìàíîâñêèé coach their total house became on one night. Two trade travelling agents ñîøëèñü in coupe for smoking, have in a flash acknowledged the friend in friend of the members extensive brotherhood travelling salesman and here is already reason about enormous country at ease, as about çàäâîðêàõ of the own building. Have Remembered about casual meeting with such-that at July month in Sent-Field, and else... - But the whole week back in Denver âûõîæó I from Brown-calve and face the nose to nose - with whom you thought? - Yes really! But I oldster Joe already one hundred years not âèäàë! - À about Jim Uizersa heard? His(its) have translated in branch in Atlanta! - You in New Orleans presently? - No, in this trip shall not get. I there was at May. Such talks approach instant. Simply and naturally fall into life of the people, which has reduced on one only night here and has chucked through the whole country at the speed of sixty mph, and become the member to enormous family, inhabitting land. Be can, such a strange, alarm contradiction to whole lifes beside us in America - we feel itself firmly and certain only astir. At least once, so seemed young George Uebberu, - never could be he so packed confidence and determinations, as in watch, when went somewhere train. And never was in him so powerfully sensation of the building, as on road home. But cost äîåõàòü - and right here he felt itself homeless. The person rose In far-ends of the coach and will go on passage aside óáîðíîé. He hobbled along, resting in stick, but free hand held for backs pew: coach powerfully swung. The Persons this drew even with George, which as before sat, ãëÿäÿ in window, and suddenly stopped. And, as if flow of the bright light, has spouted in consciousness George sonorous, mellow basque, friendly, relaxed, a little derisive, fearless, such familiar - all same that at one time, in fourteen. - Be Ruined me on this place! Yes this zh Apes! You where was going to? Having Heard its old jocular nickname, George âñêèíóë head. Before he stood the Nebraska Kreyn. Square, âåñíóø÷àòàÿ, burnt sun physiognomy glowed the former derisive friendliness, coal-black eye searched for èíäåéöà cherokee looked with former frank, merciless fearlessness. Stretched the enormous dark paw, and they were changed the most strong handshake. And immediately became so, is woke;waked he returned under reliable and friendly shelter. In minute they sat beside and talked, as the most close people, which but will change and does not separate no gap - neither years, nor distances. For all years thereafter, as George has for the first time left Libiya-faded and entered in college, he only was once upon a time met with Nebraska Kreynom. But did not lose him(it) from type. Nobody did not lose sight of Nebraska Kreyna. On the whole look wiry fearless ìàëü÷îíêè-èíäåéöà, which that nor day strode downhill on Lokast-ñòðèò with baseball bit through shoulder and shining mitten "taking", protruding from pocket, possible was guess enviable áóäóùíîñòü: Nebraska became the professional player, him(it) with move took in the çíàìåíèòûå command, and about his(its) atheletic feat from day to day ballyhooed the newspapers. The Newspapers and helped they ñâèäåòüñÿ in past once. This happened at August 1925-go, when George right before returned in NEW YORK after the first trip for border. In the same evening, the âåðíåå shortly before ïîëóíî÷è, he sat in restaurant CHaylda, saws coffee with hot patty and examined else humid print çàâòðàøíåãî number "Gerald òðèáþí", and suddenly in eye he dashed the large headline: "Kreyn beats off one more ball". George greedily âïèëñÿ in report about play, and he desperately wanted newly to see the Nebraska and again feel all essence a spirit true America. Obeying sudden blast, he has solved to ring. Certainly, name of the Nebraska was listed in telephone directory, the address - in Bronx sometime. George has named the number and became to wait. It Was Called back male voice, George not immediately his(its) has heard. - A Hallo!.. The Hallo!.. Mister Kreyn building?.. This you, Bras? - Allo. - a Nebraska spoke unsure, slow, in voice his(its) were heard íàñòîðîæåííîñòü and mistrust, as beside any inhabitant of the mountains in talk with chuzhimi. - Who this?.. Who?.. - And, suddenly having heard, çàêðè÷àë: - an Apes, íåóæòî you?! The Devil me cover! - Now in voice were heard joy, amazing, the most friendly cordiality, and he sounded above and long, somehow in singsong voice (the highlander quite often so speak on telephone): aloud, sonorous, quite not on-town and a little in bewilderment, is woke;waked he with mountains hailled someone on other mountain top at overcast autumn day, under noise of the foliage, èñõëåñòàííîé blast vetra. - Whence you red, lad? What live, damn it? - an çàîðàë he previously, than George has haved time to otvetiti. - You where disappeared so much time? - Was in Europe. Only this morning returned. - A Devil me cover quite! - still with amazing, but also with irrepressible glad druzhelyubiem. - When zh? Can, will add tomorrow to the play? I shall conduct you. And here is that, - hastily continued the Nebraska, - if beside you to find time, after play shall go to me, I you ïîçíàêîìëþ with wife and with tot. Goes? On that and ïîðåøèëè. George will go on stadium I admired else one victory of the Nebraska, but where memorable remained that was after. When athlete has taken the shower and was dressed, two friends moved to output, but there, beside winch, lay in wait for crowd a boy. This was an ñìóãëîëèöûå, òåìíîãëàçûå and dark-haired tomboy that âûðàñòàþò on dirty new-éîðêñêèõ bridge, as if is there sowed;sown teeths of the dragon, but, oddly to say, in not on-ðåáÿ÷üè roughened person and hoarse voice is else saved purity and äîâåð÷èâîñòü, characteristic äåòÿì all over the world. - Here is he, Bras! - a plow rebyata. - Hey, Bras! The Regard, Bras! - His(its) âìèã has covered the wild horde, in óøàõ rang from shrieks, boys squalled, begged, twitched him(it) for sleeve, interrupting one another, crowding and pushing one another, stretched the dirty scrap of the paper, leftover bit êàðàíäàøåé, seedy çàïèñíûå êíèæå÷êè, - they thirsted the autograph. The Nebraska and here have not changed the kindness and îòçûâ÷èâîñòü. Handily forcing VWXbe drafty crowd îðóùèõ, pressing, jumping from impatience boy, he has hastily scrawlled its name on group of ten rumpled áóìàæîíîê and herewith not falling silent poured the øóòî÷êàìè, mellow teased and ïîðóãèâàë their own dirty admirer. - Well, let's here!.. They Were Surrounded although for time, have found itself who other... Hey, you! - He suddenly íàöåëèëñÿ awesome óêàçóþùèì finger on some çëîïîëó÷íîãî malysha. - You what today again was? I for you uzh twenty once endorsed! - No, sir, mister Kreyn! - has with zest objected malichishka. - was not I, here is her-god! - After all I rights? - has called the Nebraska in witnesses ostalinyh. - Realy this small does not come here each day? The Boys çàóëûáàëèñü, distress of the comrade their amused. - Faithfully, faithfully, mister Kreyn! Beside it unadulterated notebook such, and on each ëèñòî÷êå you endorsed! - Yes you that! - an âñêðè÷àëà victim, outraged such predatelistvom. - Tell lies sassy, what have invented! Here is her-god, mister Kreyn. - He has again raised the imploring eye on Nebrasku. - do Not listen you them! You only I shall sign ay-that-earl. Please, mister Kreyn, this zh one minute! Else ìãíîâåíüå Nebraska with pretended sternness looked at ìàëü÷îíêó; has afterwards taken ïðîòÿíóòóþ notebook, has hastily scrawlled through the whole page its name and has returned the copy-book an owner. On wink has covered the broad palm âñòðåïàííóþ top, has awkwardly ironned, immediately ëåãîíüêî, facetious has repulsed and çàøàãàë away. ZHilische Nebraskas in accuracy resemble(go)ed on one hundred thousand such in region Bronx. The Ugly building redhead brick with false facade - on corners of the roof protruded some meaningless small towers, spasms were felt in all on luxury. The Rooms, small and close-fitting, seemed else close-fitting that's why that are forced were bulky and too splendid furniture. The Wall ãîñòèíîé, some ðûæåâàòûå in speckle, óêðàøåíû were only two sentimental colour lithographies, but with honourable place on heater, from oval gilded frame, with increased, brightly ðàñêðàøåííîé photographies seriously, in stress looked at each enterring Nebraskin ñûíèøêà, skim at age two years. The Wife of the Nebraska Mirtl was small, round, with pretty puppet ëè÷èêîì. His(its) vein surrounded steeply çàâèòûå ringlets of the colour of the ripe corn, plump cheeks are brightly rouged, plump lips is salved. But held and talked she simply, áåçûñêóññòâåííî and was immediately sewn on George on shower. She has met his(its) warm, friendly smile and has said that husband to her much about he told. All óñåëèñü. The Little boy, who was already year three-four, first self-conscious was hidden for mother's skirt and only once in a while because of she peered, but has afterwards become bolder, has run across through room to father and became to clamber him on lap and on shoulder. The Nebraska and Mirtl interrupting one another questioned George, as he veins all these years that did, but most of all - about trip in Europe, about miscellaneous country, where he visitted. Similars, Europe seemed him improbable distant, and any, who has ed her(its) their own eye, surrounded the certain halo a romantic to extraodinary natures. - Where zh you there went? - has asked the Nebraska. - Yes nearly all over, - has said Dzhordzh. - Was in France, in England, in Holland, Danmark, Swedens, Italies - all have detoured. - Here is, devil me cover! - was simple-hearted amazed Kreyn. - Sound you around ripen! - Well, not so, as you, Bras. You-that always in departure. - Who, I? The Line with two. I zh nothing fresh do not see, all one and ditto. Chicago, Sent-Luis, Philadelphia - there I thousand once could be, çàâÿæè me eye, and that road shall find! - He äîñàäëèâî îòìàõíóëñÿ. And suddenly was crowded on George, as if in the first has once seen, bent over and slammed him(it) on knee. - Ah, devil me cover quite! Since you live, Apes? - Yes not sting. But you-that as? Though what ask. I about you all time read in newspaper. - Faithfully, Apes. The Year I had not bad. But know, brother... - Kreyn has suddenly swung the head and usmehnulsya. - Old age not joy. He a little was silent, afterwards continued low: - I in sport already seven years, with nine hundred nineteenteenth, for our play this not fun. Seldom who will stretch long. When so much time ãîíÿåøü the ball, possible and with count loses, only consider nor to that, legs themselves will prompt - óïðûãàëñÿ, breakwater. - Ïîìèëóé, Bras, you-that else good lad! Cost today to, as you evil was carried on field - a foal, yes and only! - Ugu, - has ed Nebraska. - - so, can, and foal, but only feel I itself like old old horse in borozde. - He again fell silent, afterwards dark hand has quietly scutched the old friend on knee and has said short: - No, brother. When are turned with my, so uzh know that here to that. - Yes will you fool âàëÿòü! - an çàñïîðèë George, having recalled that Nebraska senior his(its) only two godami. - Too oldster íàøåëñÿ. You zh whole twenty seven! - Yes-yes, clear, - has peacefully said Nebraska. - Only I faithfully you dialect. In this matter much long my does not ïðîäåðæèøüñÿ. Understandable, Kobb, Speaker and else cue-who - these played for a long time, but such on finger ïåðå÷òåøü. Usually áåéñáîëèñòà is enough for eight years, but I uzh seven îòûãðàë. So if I shall be enough else ãîäèêà on three, complain the íå÷åãî... The Line with two! - has added he, a little having been silent, and in voice his(its) newly çàçâó÷àë áûëîé zador. - Me and so and fair complain the íå÷åãî. start;put Although will tomorrow give the retirement, don't care, I know, I its deal did quite well... Faithfully, æó÷èøêà? - merrily and has aloud said he son, settled down beside it on knee, has caught his(its) powerful hand and became to lull, as mladenca. - an Old fellow Bras its deal did quite well, faithfully I dialect? - We with Brasom both so consider, - has inserted Mirtl; in all time of the talk she swung back and forth in rocking chair and serene chewed the rubber, - a previous year times two we uzh thought, Brasa will fuse in command ïîïëîøå. The Litter, before play he speaks me: "Well, speaks, old woman, ÷óåò my heart if I today not îòîáüþ ìÿ÷åé, äâèíåìñÿ we with you in way-road - "Where, dialect, äâèíåìñÿ"? But he me: "I, speaks, do not know, where, but will only send they me a little farther if not will me good luck, uzh ÷óåò my heart: today or never!" But I on it, - all in the same way serene continued Mirtl, - and dialect: "So you, dialect, what from I want? Come me today or not to come?" He in general-that, know, does not love, ÷òîá I there was, when he ball not îòîáüåò, speaks, from this him and íåâåçåíüå. But has here ed he on me, see, like ïðèçàäóìàëñÿ, but afterwards âðàç dared and speaks: "If want, speaks, receipts, don't care, breakwater, me uzh so did not carry, worse nowhere, but can, time this deal be changed, so you, breakwater, receipts". Well, I and will go, and uzh do not know, I him happiness has brought or else that, but only right here him and ïîâåçëî, - an äîêîí÷èëà she, peacefully swing back and forth in rocking chair. - Clear, this she, devil me cover, - smirked Bras. - In that day I have taken three from four, yes what! Two went exactly in purpose. - Aha, - has confirmed Mirtl. - Yes else who these balls beat - a fastest player in Philadelphias. - Uzh exactly! - has said the Nebraska. - YA-to know, - serene horror, continued Mirtl. - I heard, command boys after spoke, he so gives, is woke;waked ball flies with most back, with galleries, heaven knows whence, him(it) and is not seen, ball. But Bras all zh òàêè saw, or he simply ïîâåçëî, two faithfull balls has beaten off, and giving this not painfully liked. When Bras second ball has beaten off, so he, giving-that, before that îçëèëñÿ - a leg çàòîïàë, the land digs, well straight oxen mad. Straight quite ñáåñèëñÿ, - on îáûêíîâåíèþ, the most serene tone has agreed Mirtl. - I such mad îòðîäÿñü not âèäàë! - in delight has caught the Nebraska. - I uzh thought, he land will through, azh before most Kitaya. But so much for is. Mirtl truth speaks. From that day I and will go uphill. One lad to me after so and has said: "Bras, speaks, we uzh all thought, you from command âûøèáóò, but now you, became to be, sound ed". In this play always so. I âèäàë itself, Bebi Rut week for íåäåëåé ëÿïàë all past yes past, but afterwards will suddenly go to beat without miss. And uzh more he like simply could not miss. Four years passed thereafter. And here is two friends were once again met, sit beside in íåñóùåìñÿ train and hurry to learn all news a friend of friend. Having Heard, why George goes home, Nebraska so wondered, even mouth has revealled, but afterwards frowned, and on dark simple-hearted person his(its) was expressed sincere distress. - Well that you will say, - an âûìîëâèë on. - Much sympathize, brat. - He in bewilderment was silent, not knowing that to say. Afterwards òðÿõíóë golovoy. - Oh, she and sound cooked, your aunt. The Age shall not forget! Remember, as she at one time us helms - whole ìàëûøíþ with the whole counties? - He self-conscious smiled Dzhordzhu. - Here is me presently her(its) liver, I did not refuse! Ruling ankle beside it was bandaged, between knees he has put(deliver)ed òîëñòóþ stick. George has asked that beside it with leg. - Has Sprained the tendon, - has said the Nebraska, - happened to to give itself respite. Here is I and decided to visit their own. Mirtl has not gone, her it is impossible - a boy it is necessary in school to equip. - As they both? - has asked George. - They-that fine, better nowhere! - A Nebraska was silent, smiled (George has heard in smile of the friend patient courage true cherokee) and has agreed: - But I collapse, Apes. I shall not for long be enough. George has not believed - a Nebraska now was whole thirty one. But that again mellow smiled. - For baseball from already old age, Apes. I began in twenty-one. I was long kept. From this calm submissiveness George has taken the anguish. It is Difficult and bitterly him was see that strong, fearless Nebraska, which from childhood was for it personification of bravery and victories, now so without complaining accepts with its defeat. And he çàñïîðèë: - That you, Bras! You this year beat in the same way mark, as previously! I read about you in newspaper, all so wrote. - Well, I else get with ball, - peacefully agreed Nebraska. - About accuracy I not áåñïîêîþñü. This loses in the last queue. On extremities, with me so will, yes and the other boys ditto govoryat. - And continued not immediately, having lowered voice: - Here is if leg will in time heal, I else return and äîèãðàþ this season. But if firmly ïîâåçåò, can, I shall not expose from command else year-another, therefore what know that I shall beat the mark. Yes only they know that I person êîí÷åíûé, - has peacefully agreed on. - On I have already put(deliver)ed the cross. George listened and thought that Nebraska so and remained the true èíäåéöåì. He and boy was such íåóíûâàþùèé fatalist, in this and lay beneath the surface the source his(its) enormous power and courage. Therefore-that he never nothing and did not be afraid, even deaths. But Nebraska, seen that George distressed, again smiled and said merrily: - Here is so-that, Apes. In sport you good while good. But afterwards you banish. I not sting, devil cover. I ïîâåçëî. I boil in this porridge already ten years, this, know, rarity. And I played in three meetings on championship of the world. But if ïðîäåðæóñü else ãîäèê-another if me is not banished and not âûïèõíóò in command ïîñëàáåå, can, we again figure on legs. Beside us with Mirtl all are calculated. I to was necessary a small size to help her(its) native, and its oldster I have bought the farm, they always about this dreamed. Yes else beside me beside most three hundred acres in Zibulone, and for them is paid in full! If only me at present year to sell the tobacco on good price - and is cleaned beside me two thousand dollars. So, åæåëè I am kept else two years in League and well play else different on championship of the world... - A Nebraska has ed on friend, his(its) open person, all in freckle on dark skin, run in former, quite boyish ulybke. - Then us more and dream not of than. - And... and you will be satisfied? - What? Satisfied? - A Nebraska has ed with nedoumeniem. - You this about that? - Yes here is, Bras, you so much has done, so much has ed... The Greater city, around crowd, all you greet... and enormous headline in newspaper, and championship of the world, and... and the first March [opening of the atheletic season], and Sent-Petersberg, again meet the òîâàðèùåé on command, begin the spring drills... The Nebraska quietly âçâûë. - You what? - A Drills... - But you that, do not love them? - Love? Yes first three weeks - flour infernal! While you boy, else nothing. For winter much spare weights will not take, springtime several days of the limbering-up - and order. For fortnight you in the form again, ñâåæåíüêèé, as cucumber. But here is ïîòÿíè with my! - He çàñìåÿëñÿ, ïîìîòàë golovoy. - Ouch-ouch! First if ball low, stoop no urines, joints so and rattle. Gradually limber, get accustomed, muscles already not so whine. Begins the season, at April you like nothing, good lad. At May and are completely played, blood boils - think, you nor droplets have delivered. For June else gunpowder is enough. But afterwards - a July, and in Sent-Luis èçâîëü play on two matches at day. Ouch-ouch-ouch! - A Nebraska has swung the head and çàñìåÿëñÿ, showing large strong zuby. - an Apes, - has said he low, person beside he became serious, gloomy, person thoroughbred indeyca. - Could be you someday at July in Sent-Luis? - No. - Exactly, - quietly, contemptuous continued Nebraska. - And you at July did not happen to ãîíÿòü there ball. Prepare the bit, but perspiration õëåùåò azh from óøåé. SHagneshi onward, ãëÿäèøü, who you give, but beside you in eye not that äâîèòñÿ - ÷åòâåðèòñÿ. On gallery folk is fried in one shirt, sleeve beside all çàñó÷åíû, gives he you ball, but you and do not see, whence flies, like from all these, with tribunes. You shout oh did not have time to, but he uzh here. Well, know; aware flock firmly and let's fighting, can, and get with him. Only VWVhave time to;make progress turn round, on two basises you will be enough. In former timeses me this was once spit. But now... u-u. - He again has slowly swung golovoy. - Know I this èõíåå baseball field in Sent-Luis at July month! To April-that they take care, around herb that it is necessary, but here is what begin the July... - He short zasmeyalsya. - a Devil cover! Underfoot net asphalt! Dobereshisya before the first basis, and already legs do not go, ÷òîá him emptily was, but it is necessary to move further, manager with you eye does not ñïóñêàåò, he from you shower will take out if you spare basis will not take, can, from it whole play depends. And jpurnalists too on you are stared at, they uzh have begun to talk, breakwater, oldster Kreyn became gravity on ascent... but beside you in head contract for future year, yes, can, one more championship of the world, and you only pray the gentlemen of the god, ÷òîá you not ïåðåêèíóëè in ñåíò-ëóèññêóþ command. Well and here is, take the legs in hands, øìÿêíåøüñÿ on the second, puff, as locomotive, will barely get up, îùóïàåøü itself, safe, but here else observing on the basis with their own øóòî÷êàìè: that, breakwater, for hurry, oldster? Are afraid, breakwater, be late in Club veteran? - Yes, now I, seems, begin to understand, - has said George. - Understand? Here is listen;hear! Today summer I have once asked one our, what beside us month, he speaks, only else medium of the July, but I him - a line bald! What there July, be here is ruined, September on courtyard! Became to be, ïðîâàëèñü, answers, therefore as September and does not smell(blow in), but on courtyard July. Well, dialect, is seen, today months will go on sixty days each, such äëèííþùåãî July beside I never did not can be. And you uzh me believe, so it and there is. When in baseball age, so, can, on courtyard and truth July, but for you don't care sentyabri. - He pomolchal. - Well, in general-that our brother keeps in command, while accuracy has not changed. Once you else get with ball, so âàëÿé output on field although you it is necessary to stick on bit, ÷òîá did not molder. So if ïîâåçåò, I else ãîäèê-other shall play. I else stroke do not give, so, can, me and will become to release, while all other not íà÷íóò grumble that oldster Bras does not ripen for low ball! - He zasmeyalsya. - No, while I else nothing, but uzh as figure to deliver - enough. - Well, signifies, you will not feel sorry that it is necessary will óéòè? The Nebraska has answered not immediately. He looked at wearing out for window of the coach çàêîï÷åííûé by factory smoke staff New-Jersey. Afterwards again çàñìåÿëñÿ, but has grown old, íåâåñåëî. - Druzhische, for you, can, this integer journey, but I, know, so much once rolled this train âçàä-onward... the whole road has thoroughly learned;learnted although not ãëÿäÿ shall say, past which on count of the telegraph pole ïðîåçæàåì. Yes-yes, devil cover! - He aloud, catching zahohotal. - At one time I their ïåðåñ÷èòàë, but now shall here is take and îêðåùó each by name! - And not bored you will áåçâûëàçíî protrude on farm in Zibulone? - Bored? - A Voice of the Nebraska çàçâó÷àë contemptuous and indignant, quite as at one time, at boyish years; the debt minute he looked at buddy with perplexity and nigh only brezglivo. - Yes you that? This zh most ðàñïðåêðàñíàÿ life on light! - But as your father, Bras? Beysbolist óõìûëüíóëñÿ and swung the head: - An Oldster lives in its pleasure. He is whole age the only thing dreamed in the land to dig. - With health beside it as? - give God any! - has proudly said Nebraska. - Zdorov, as oxen. Although presently ìåäâåäÿ îäîëååò. Be it Here is ruined me! - continued he with the most deep ubezhdeniem. - will Leave on it two pairs - he and with äâîèìè is charged manages. - But remember, Bras, when we were an ìàëÿâêàìè, but your father served in police bodies, he left against all fighter, who arrived to us in city. And after all, could be, arrived and class fighter! - Else what! - an active çàêèâàë Nebraska. - That Anderson, he after all was a champion of the Atlanta, and else Peterson, - remember Petersona? - Clear, litter. His(its) have nicknamed the Swede Kostolom... He how many times to we arrived. - Aha, he most. He country-wide travelled... Outstanding was a fighter, from most that nor on there is best. My oldster three times with he fought and once even put on both blades! - Was else that âåðçèëà, on nickname Turk Dushiteli... - Aha, too class was a fighter! Though he was not turk, only passed himself off as turk. My oldster spoke, he was that pole, that else from somewhere from that places, but worked at steel mills in Pennsylvanias, therefore and became such strong man. - And else Velikan Jersey... - Aha... - And Hurricane Finnegen... - Aha... - And Dakotskiy Oxen... and Jim Rayan from Texas... and Prodigy-â-ìàñêå... Remember the Prodigy-â-ìàñêå? - Aha... only their was aiming heap... rolled out on country along and across, and âñÿê named itself "Prodigy-â-ìàñêå". My oldster fought with such with two. Only present-that Prodigy-â-ìàñêå to we did not arrive. My oldster spoke, was and the present Prodigy-â-ìàñêå, only he, faithfully, was a primary fighter, the most class, such in Libiya-hill will not go. - Bras, but remember, once at night your father fought in town ñïîðòçàëå with one such "Miraculously-â-ìàñêå", but we with you sat in the first row and rooted for it, and he has embraced that for neck, mask has flown down, and this turned out to be no not Prodigy-â-ìàñêå, but simply greek, which on evening was a servant in cafe "ZHemchuzhina" beside station? - A-a... yes, yes! - A Nebraska has scattered the head and rashohotalsya. - I quite was has forgotten that greek, but after all faithfully, he most! Then all plow: breakwater, æóëüñòâî, money back!.. She-god, Apes, before what zh I pleased you to see! - A Big dark hand he has covered the knee Dzhordzha. - is Woke;waked and did not pass so much years, faithfully? It Is Woke;waked yesterday all this was! - Yes, Bras... - A Minute-other George watched for window, where flashed the familiar places, in bosom his(its) grew the sadness and nedoumenie. - is Woke;waked yesterday all this was. George sat beside window and watched, as they are worn out past èçíûâàþùèå from heat elbowrooms. Not in measure hot was issued this September, äîæäÿ was not a weeks three, and the whole day of the outline of the east seaside delayed the joyless blanket an ardent heat. The Land crackinged and èññîõëà in dust, and under overheated, îñòåêëåíåëûì by sky shone the tin-plate briliance along rail dry ïîðûæåëûå herbs and sickly weeds. The Whole mainland as if choked. VWXbe drafty the wire nets on window entrenched in hot green inside of the train the most small coal mite, but during stops with two ends of the coach monotonous hummed the ventilators, and seemed, this voice most ardent heat. While, the train stood, on nearby fetter, ïûõòÿ, slowly passed the enormous locomotives, or too stood, blowing away, lazy, exactly enormous cats, and machinists darkened âåòîøüþ wiped the çàêîï÷åííûå person, but passengers week were fanned rumpled newspaper or sat in rueful èçíåìîæåíèè, pouring with water over afterwards. George long sat in solitude. The Eye his(its) noticed each triviality in picture, been replaced for window, but thought he çàìêíóëñÿ in itself, in old recollection, which have newly come alive from meeting with Nebraska. But train already ïåðåñåê New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, edge Delaware and now raced on Maryland. And most panorama of the country for window turned around like roll of time. George has suddenly felt itself lost, nearly wretch. The Talk with the other childhood has suddenly returned him(it) in past. The Nebraska so changed for these years, so submissively accepted with that that has came to nothing, and from this for dim trouble presentiment, which has aroused in George talk with banker, politician and mayor, âñêîëûõíóëàñü else and deaf sadness. In Baltimore, when train has already slowed the move under gloomy code of the station, for window on platform ìåëüêíóëî and swam past familiar person. George has the only thing haved time to to notice the unclear line, leanness, pallor and sealled mouth, but in corners ðòà he seemed the shade of the smile - hardly perceptible, ghostly, sinister, - and his(its) has covered sudden, íåðàññóæäàþùèé awe. Really this Judge Ramford Blend? The Train was once again touched, has doved in tunnel on distant outskirts, and here blind appeared at the end of the coach. The People interpreted with each other, read or napped, but blind entered quite quietly, and nobody his(its) has not noticed. He sowed;sown on the first pew beside door. When train again âûíûðíóë under ïðåäâå÷åðíåå september sun, George was looked over and has seen the new passenger. That sat quite quietly, compressing dry hand become heavy nut walking stick, unseeing eye were crowded in emptiness, skinny faded person all are pointed in rumour - çàêàìåíåëî in terrible, tense íåäâèæíîñòè, what can be only beside blind, and only in corners of the lips drafty ate the observable tipoff on smile, and in her, nearly indistinguishable, some scaring briskness, elusive and dangerous charm of the fallen angel. Yes, this and âïðàâäó Judge Ramford Blend! George did not see his(its) fifteen years. In that time Blend not yet blind, but eye already began him to change. George well remembered his(its) - and remembered, what boundless terror ëåäåíèë boyish shower one type to Judges, which quite often strolled the night on empty, áåçëþäíûì street, when all have already rescued and city was as grave. Even in that days, when his(its) has not yet struck the blindness, some darkenning thirst drived this person on deserted bridge, under indifferent lifeless light of the torches on crossroad, past invariably dark windows and always çàïåðòûõ doors. He proceed from old venerable family, and, as all mans in sort for the last one hundred years with ëèøêîì, his(its) have defined on legal part. One period he filled a position in police court, and thereafter his(its) so and called - a Judge Blend. But this descendant worthy family çàïÿòíàë honour to families by unheard-of fall. In time, when George Uebber was a boy, Blend else named itself lawyer. Beside it was çàõóäàëàÿ office in own âåòõîì house, and on door tablet he was listed the attorney, but its bread earned other, more doubtful way. The Knowledges and experience served this skilful êðþ÷êîòâîðó mainly to avoid the law and disturb the justice. Inherently, "practised" he amongst negro population only, and "practice" this was concluded first of all in usury. In belonged to Blendu house on the Main area - a dilapidated two-story red construction of the brick - fitted "trade second-hand furniture". Under this "shop" îòâåäåíû were a cellar and ground floor. But, certainly, this was simply screen, which Blend closed their own illegal deals with negro. Vzdumay anyone examine loaded on here bosom frightenning smelly schlock, he immediately made sure that on receipts from such goods and month do not live. Nobody has not believed that this are possible. For íåìûòîé by shop window loomed the billiard table, must be, taken in payment for debts from some negro gaming building. But that this was for table! Other such fossilized antiquity most certainly was not sewn on in the whole Country. The Whole hunchbacked, in áóãðàõ and âûáîèíàõ. Did Not remain not one whole pocket - a holes in them such that baseball ball and that was ruined. The Green broadcloth where is wiped before holes, where lagged behind and was battened. On edge and broadcloth and tree - in black and redhead ìåòèíàõ from uncountable cigarettes. And, however, certainly, this rubble - a most luxurious decoration of the whole commissary. Vsmatrivayasi in grow dark ãëóáü this caves, possible was see the most incredible, certainly single in its sort, meeting of the most varied negro schlock. And in the street floors, and in cellar schlock this ãðîìîçäèëñÿ before ceiling, âïåðåìåøêó, as if his(its) fiend from herd some gigantic steam excavator. Here, there were broken easy chairs-rocking chairs, dressers with crackinged mirror and box without bottom, tables, beside which came short drumsticks, but that and two and even three, rusty iron stoves with gone bust lattice and black from smut êîëåí÷àòûìè pipe, çàêîï÷åííûå, îáðîñøèå perennial ñëîåì fat of the griddle, flatirons, ùåðáàòûå plates, tureens and pitchers, basins, chamber pots and else uncountable ensemble of any junk, èñòðåïàííîãî, broken, beaten. So for what needs was a Judge Ramfordu Blendu this commissary, full such good-for-nothing schlock that he did not be useful and the last black man poor person? But much simply. When negro met with disaster, when in a hurry, ïîçàðåç need were a money - has sentenced court to fine whether to pay the doctor or return the urgent debt, - he went to Blendu. Occasionly necessity was whole-that in five or ten dollars, once in a while, happened, and in ïîëñîòíå, but usually less. The Judge Blend required the guarantee. The Negro, understandable, leave in guarantee was an íå÷åãî, realy only a few their own belonging yes anything from sleazy furniture - a bed, chair, stove. Judge Blend dispatched its picker, faithfull ïñà and assistant - a wire-puller with mug õîðüêà by name Clyde Bilz - examine this miserable property; if it turned out to be for owner by sufficient value, which that will try to ransom, signifies, cost to give the loan, and Ramford Blend gave her(it), immediately holding, however, the first percent. But further play turned direct, the most heinous usury. The Percent were paid at week once, each saturday at night. Fifty cents enforced With ten dollars Judge Blend at week, with twenty dollars - a dollar, and so on. That is why amount of the loan hardly ever did not exceed five-ten dollars. The property rallied In rare negro shack on ïîëñîòíè of the dollars, and besides pay two with half of the dollar of the percent negro was not under power: men earned at all not more five-poles of the dollars at week, women(woman) - a cooks and other servant white townsfolk - some three-four dollars. Happened to to leave him although some ãðîøè on food, otherwise came off whole play. The Sense and cleverness of this play were concluded in that to give the negro on lend a little more, than he gets at week and, signifies, can return, but not too much that he was able from its scanty incom âûêðàèâàòü weekly percent. The name negro were listed In book of the Judges Blenda, which, got on lend ten or twenty dollars, paid him afterwards weekly ïîëäîëëàðà or dollar long years. Nearly all of these, ignorant poor persons, unable were understand that with they happened. Syzmalistva whole its life accustomed to slave submissiveness, they only blunt, óíûëî felt that at one time in distant past were beside them money, but they their have squandered and for this short merry hour must now pay always. Will Add these ãîðåìûêè in saturday evening in dirty, sleazy, is become depleted illuminated den - and Judge itself in black suit and white shirt, under dim, nacked, çàñèæåííîé fly by light bulb, âåðøèò on them its individual court: - What is wrong, Kerri? You has overdued the integer of the fortnight. Realy for this week you has earned only fifty cents? - Yes I thought, like else only third week goes. Can, lost with count. - Nothing you did not lose. Already three weeks. With you dollar fifty. But you that, has brought only ïîëäîëëàðà? Sullen, guilty answer: - Yes, sir. - But rest when will? - There one person, he has said, he will give me... - You me not tell;narrate. Will you further in time pay or no? - Yes I zh dialect. What will come the monday, that person, he âðàç... - You beside who presently work? - Beside doctor Hollendera... - A Cook? Sullen, with boundless, truly negro dejection: - Yes, sir. - How much get? - Three dollars. - So what you lag? Does Not ìîæåøü to contribute fifty cents at week? All in the same way sullen, gloomy and óíûëî, from depths of the doubt and ðàñòåðÿííîñòè, exactly from depths african äæóíãëåé: - Yes I do not know... Like I uzh how much time all weeping yes weeping... Sharply, chilling, as poison, rapidly, as attacking snake: - Nothing you do not pay. And did not begin to pay. Only, the percent contribute, yes and that not upon the terms. All in the same way in doubt, in deep ðàñòåðÿííîñòè awkward finger íàøàðèâàþò, sort, finally extract from seedy êîøåëüêà pack çàñàëåííûõ áóìàæîíîê. - Uzh and do not know, like beside me their halitosis how much, receipts, faithfully, I that ten dollars uzh has long ago paid. How much zh this me time else to pay? - Until will bring ten dollars... Well. Kerri, here is you receipt. For that week will bring else dollar over usual. Other, ïîóìíåé, than such Kerri, better understood, what ïîïàëèñü, but continued to pay since him not under power was collect the necessary amount and at once dispose of servitudes. Beside other was enough the heaves and self-confident-controls to postpone each ãðîø until it will manage to return itself liberty. There were and such that paid the week, month, but afterwards, frantic, ceased to pay. And then, uzh certainly, on them kite pounced Clyde Bilz. Nagged, persuaded, threatened; and if made sure that money here anymore âûæìåøü, withdrewed beside debtor furniture and other belonging. Here is whence in commissary âûðàñòàëè disorderly bosom ill smell(blowing in) schlock. Can ask - as law has not chastised the Judge Ramforda for such frank, shameless, heinous usury? Really police body not âåäàëà, from what sources and what way culls he their own incoms? Else as âåäàëà. The Commissary, where he concerned with its mean craft, was found in some thirty steps from municipality and in twenty - from lateral prison êðûëüöà, on stone step which not once and not two carried, pushed and âîëîêëè same most negro to chuck in êàòàëàæêó. The Occupation to Judges although and not legal, was an most usual deal, local authorities looked at it VWXbe drafty finger, yes much there is else and other so criminal ways, which use not knowing neither shame nor shame white in all south staff, stuffing ìîøíó to account oppressed and ignorant people. The Usurers get rich on "swarthy" mainly, therefore-that keepers of the law and turn out to be so soft and condescending. But besides, Judge Ramford Blend knew, that, with whom he has a deal, on he does not äîíåñóò. He knew, negroes do not understand in that, what is a law, and or òðåïåùóò before his(its) inconceivable mystery, or trembles before his(its) awesome and reeking power. For negro law - first of all police body, other word, white person in uniform dress coat, and there is power beside this person and power: he can arrest black, beat the fist or bat, çàñòðåëèòü from gun, lock in crowd get dark camera. But therefore hardly find the negro, which will go to complain of their own miseries in police body. He not even suspects, as beside it, as beside person, there is some right, but Judge Ramford Blend these right violates; but if who from negro and has at least hazy idea about their own rights, hardly he will become to ask protection beside that, from who he the only thing fell that beating, arrests yes prison. On âòîðîì floor, on scramble of the negro junk, fits the office to Judges Blenda. The Wooden stairway, whose step èñòåðòû step of barefoot time, but banisters, shaky, as teeth of the oldster, are polished and imbrued afterwards ensemble of the black palms, conducts upstairs, in dark corridor. Here, in absolute darkness, hear the solitary measured patter drop, seldom and monotonous falling from tap sometime at heart, and came will douse the acerbic scent an óáîðíîé. On shift to the right hand - a dull glass door of the office, and on her by half îáëåçøàÿ inscription by black paint: "RAMFORD BLEND. THE ATTORNEY". The Reception room, as all attorney receiving, is surrounded bulky and comfortless furniture. Nacked, without êîâðà, sex, two darkened from old age swedish agency, two çàñòåêëåííûõ bookcases, stuffed by seedy volumes in borax, pigskin cover, enormous copper spittoon full before edge of the tobacco cud, two-three decrepit revolving stool and else several scratchy chairs for visitors. On wall faded diplomas, witnessing that master îêîí÷èë Payn-Fate-college with baccalaureate art, university in Old Ketoube with degree of the doctor of the rights and consists the member age-Ketoubskoy boards attorney. For this room - one more, there the only thing there is that else closets, full heavy òîìîâ in moldy cover òåëÿ÷üåé skins, several chairs and beside wall upholstered ïëþøåì the sofa, - reportedly, in this room Blend "âîäèë of the womans". Two windows leave on Main area, íåìûòûå flow çàñèæåíû fly, ïåðåäîõøèìè else in timeses Gettisberga, on window - frayed, ïîðûæåëûå of the blind - an ñîâðåìåííèöû of the president Garfilda, on which else possible distinguish the worthy name "Kennedy and Blend". One of the co-owner of this old-time attorney office was a father of the mayor Baxter Kennedy, but his(its) partner, general Blend, was a father Ramforda. Both have very long ago died, but nobody and has not thought to change the inscription. Such remained in memories George Uebbera den to Judges Ramforda Blenda. And Judge Ramford Blend itself - "guarantor", merchant by furniture, - an usurer, loaning money black. The Judge Ramford Blend - a son of the general to armies þæàí, attorney, in black silky mantle, in snow-white dickey. That happened to this person that so has steeply overwinded his(its) life and has forced to change faithfull and worthy way on curves, mean tracks? This did not know nobody. Undoubtedly, person he was very gifted. In the childhood George heard, as âèäíåéøèå lawyers in city confessed that little who of them could compete with Blendom in knowledge of the laws and elocution if "judge" has wanted to use their own talents on honest field. But on he lay seal the vice. Some perverted, èçâå÷íî cruel begin hid in most his(its) nature, in depths his(its) showers. It was absorbed in his(its) flesh and blood. It was felt in clasp his(its) skinny, weak hand, when he with you çäîðîâàëñÿ, was heard in voice, as if penetrated by mortal weariness, was drafty in devil èñõóäàëîãî lifeless-pale person, in direct, dim chestnut hair, but the main, in sealled lip, on which constantly trembled hardly óëîâèìàÿ shade of the smile. Yes, only shade of the smile, otherwise will not say, èáî indeed that was not at all smile. She hid, exactly spectre, in small piece of coal of the lips. Prismotrishisya - her(its) already no. And don't care know, she always here - obscene, irritating, mocking, unnatursl heinous, she than-that related humour âèñåëüíèêà, tipoff on beating key in hiding place this dark showers inexhaustible vitality. In early youth Judge Blend married beautiful, but dissolute woman and soon with she was scattered. Be can, somewhat this and was explained his(its) cynical attitude to woman. Thereafter he veins by celibate, under one roof with its mother - a majestic ñåäîâëàñîé by person, which he invariably surrounded the perfect most exquisite respect and touching care. Somebody suspected that to this ñûíîâíåé of devotion was mixed small amount of derisive and contemptuous submissiveness, but, certainly, beside old lady was not no bases so think. She is a vein in ïðåìèëîì old house, she had all, what only possible want, and if she and guessed about doubtful source this luxury, that son nor word about this did not utter. In general Judge Blend unconditionally divided all womans on two categories - full-grown and whores, - and unless consider the single exception, dwelling beside it in house, was interested only by second category. Go blind he began for several years before departure George from Libiya-faded; then he became to carry the dark spectacles, and from this pale, skinny person him(it) with ghostly smile in corners of the lips ed else more sinister. He treated in hospital John Hopkinsa in Baltimore and went there each one and a half month, but saw all bad to worse, and doctor have already warned him(it) that to hope not on that. The Ill deprived beside it vision, was only effect vile disease, which, as he frankly confessed, ed on eye though he-that thought that was long ago cured. But, oddly to say, contrary to whole sinister and repugnant that was in Blende, in his(its) disposition and behaviour, he always possessed the íåîáû÷àéíîé by attractive power. All and each with the first meeting, since the first minute understood that he evil person. No, little say - evil. All understood that he is discredited - deeply, is extraordinarily discredited, but depravity this, like high äîáðîäåòåëè, not alien known greatness. And really, at one time was in him good beginning, and it so before the end and has not died. All unanimously confirmed that for short period while he filled a position judges, court his(its) was fast, but VWXbe clever and ñïðàâåäëèâ. What his(its) showers indulged by characteristic this was explained, nobody did not understand and understand could not, but something from this unbeknownst else ed. That is why people immediately, with the first meeting âëåêëî to Ramfordu Blendu, and even one, tried to oppose this charm, could not before him to stand firm, - a strange image he even began him to like. With the first minute, appreciable hidden in him power of the deaths and vice, they felt also something... name this spectre, radiation, ïîãèáøåé shower great äîáðîäåòåëè. And together with that each felt, exactly blow in heart, sudden, stunning pain. "What loss! What a pity!" But whence this feeling - nobody understand could not. Became quickly, nearly already on-autumn to grow dark, and train, race on south, approached to Virginii. George sat beside window, watched, as unclear shade are worn out past tree, and resurrected in memories all that was him known about Ramforda Blenda. The Judge always was him and repugnant and is frightened and than-that incomprehensibly attracted, but presently all these feeling has possessed George with such power that he simply could not more remain in solitude. The noisy company were going to In the middle coach to other inhabitants Libiya-faded. Dzharvis Rigz, mayor Kennedy and Salt Ayzeks sat, who collapsing, who îïåðøèñü on handle of the easy chair, but Pastor Flek stood in passage, having red for backs two êðåñåë, çàìûêàþùèõ this circle, and, in zeal bending over, about than-that interpreted. The Focus of this circle, attracted total attention, turned out to be the Nebraska Kreyn. They have intercepted him(it) midway and have caughted, as in trap. George rose, moved hereto gathering and instinctively has again ed to Judge Blenda. That was dress;clad with old-fashioned èçûñêàííîñòüþ, quite as in former timeses: liberally sitting suit from thick black matter, starched blanching shirt, low âîðîòíè÷îê, narrow black tie, broad-brimmed panama, which he as well as has not removed. From beneath flap lifeless drooped the strand no time chestnut, but now quite white, dead hair. The Hairs yes unseeing eye - only this in him and was changed. But for the rest he was with type just the same, as fifteen years back. For all time in coach he did not move. Sat much straight, mildly resting in walking stick, óñòðåìèâ somewhere onward, in one point sightless glance, and lifeless-pale skinny person his(its) tense has frozen, is woke;waked whole he applied to rumour. When George ïîäîøåë to collected in medium of the coach, all of these active discussed the price on premises, - an âåðíåå, all, except Nebraskas Kreyna. The Pastor Flek, ardent ïîäàâøèñü onward, denuding in smile large teeths, told about some íåäàâíåé to deal, about some sold çåìåëüíîì area: -...straight here, on CHarlz-ñòðèò, you at one time veins there thereabouts, Bras! On all these striking news beside áåéñáîëèñòà was one answer. - Ah you, devil me cover! - èçóìëåííî repeated on. - Well that you will say! The Banker bent over and confidential has patted the Nebraska on lap. The most convincing tone, is woke;waked wise careful friend, he persuaded the Nebraska to invest Their own savings in çåìåëüíûå area, purchase and sale which ðàçãîðåëàñü in Libiya-õèëëå presently. He has put in action become heavy artillery of the logic and mathematical payment and with pencil and notebook in hand became to explain, how much possible rescue if so much-that money with wit to invest in that or other premises, but afterwards, in approaching minute, her(its) sell. - Here does not ïðîãàäàåøü! - with some even emotion spoke Dzharvis Rigz. - A City will certainly grow. Yes that there, beside our Libiya-faded all ahead of. Verni their own money in native places, boy, and they on you will work! Here is see! The Talk lasted in the same spirit. But, as nor settled on Nebraska, he remained is believed itself. Polite and mellow, he was mildly íåäîâåð÷èâ and unflinching óïðÿì. - I already îáçàâåëñÿ the farm in Zibulone, - has said he and broadly ulybnulsya. - And for it all are as it is paid! Here is be through with baseball, çàñÿäó on its ground and figure to be in charge. Beside me there three hundred acres, and the ground caughted, excellent, you such and not âèäûâàëè. But more me and no need. Nor to that. The Nebraska spoke all this, on its îáûêíîâåíèþ, simply, áåçûñêóññòâåííî, and was felt that he - really person from the ground, which peacefully peers into future: independent, stubborn, he knows, what wants, firmly cost(stand)s up and about, has found its place in lifes, and him not terrible necessity and attack. His(its) not a bit has not touched the fever of that days though she has covered not only godforsaken ãîðîäèøêî that getted mad on gamble, but also the whole enormous country. All steep the only thing spoke that about the ground, but George saw - a Nebraska Kreyn here single, who else understands that signifies to live on the ground and cultivate her(it), and not imaginative itself other lifes. Finally Nebraska was unfastened from this companies, having declared that will go to have a smoke. George äâèíóëñÿ right behind. He went for the other on passage and already drew even with the last ñêàìüåé, as suddenly calm colourless voice pronounce: - Good evening, Uebber. George steeply turned. Before he sat the blind. But he-that quite about he has forgotten. The Blind did not budge under these word. He all in the same way mildly rested in walking stick, reversible pale skinny person to that-that ahead of, as if heed. And once again, what could be always, George has felt çàâîðàæèâàþùóþ power hardly observable trouble of the smile, çàòàèâøåéñÿ in corners of the lips of this person. A little having lingered, he has said: - A Judge Blend. - Sit, synok. - And George obediently sowed;sown, exactly child, bewitched äóäî÷êîé ãàìåëüíñêîãî krysolova. - Let dead is buried their own dead person, but you ïîñèäè with blind man. He spoke even, low voice, but word these cruel, killing contempt, as call, have pierced whole coach. The People çàìîë÷àëè and turned, is woke;waked sewn by electric current. George did not know that to say; from ðàñòåðÿííîñòè he âûïàëèë: - I... I... here goes much our, ëèáèÿ-õèëëñêèõ. I... I talked with them... with mayor Kennedy and... The Blind did not budge; former óñòðàøàþùå lifeless, even voice, which heard all, he has interrupted: - Yes, I know. The Washed gang ñóêèíûõ sons, so much not will often meet in one-single coaches with softseats. The Whole coach listened in given silence. That that sat in the middle, afraid exchanged glances and in minute with febrile activity have renewed the talk. - I heard, you last year again went in Francium, - newly ðàçäàëñÿ lifeless golos. - And as on-òâîåìó, french hookers than-íèáóäü differ from our, homebred? The Causing word, pronounced sinister even voice, have whipped on coach, and the whole coach has become numb dread. All fell silent. The Stunned passengers have frozen immovable. - A Person of the difference no, - same tone unflappable has noticed the Judge Blend. - Before syphilis all on light are. And if you want to go blind, in our great democratic country this possible reach with such success, as in any another. In coach stood destroying silence. A little waiting people with stunned persons were turned to one another and become stealthily whisper to each other. À between that expression of the skinny pale person not a bit did not change, only shade all same ghostly smile trembled on lip. But now Judge low, has carelessly said George: - What live, sonny? I pleased you to see. The Person his(its) remained still, but simple words these in mouth blind returned the devilish taunt. - You... you went in Baltimore, Judge Blend? - Yes, I once in a while else åçæó in hospital Hopkinsa. The Sense, of course, no. Understand, sonny, - now Blend spoke quietly, friendly, - for the first time since we with you was seen, I absolutely blind. - I did not know. Really quite... - Quite! Yes-yes, quite! - has confirmed the Judge and suddenly çàïðîêèíóë unseeing person and aloud, echidna çàõîõîòàë, exposing turned black teeths, as if could not be not divided merry shutochkoy. - assure you, my nice, I quite blind. Not even can for two steps to discern one of our the most visible scoundrel. Hey, Dzharvis! - reproachful threw he aside çëîïîëó÷íîãî Rigza, which already back into full voice perorated about the prices on zemlyu. - You and itself know that this untruth! What there, buddy, I on eye your see that you all vreshi. - a Judge has newly scattered the head and çàòðÿññÿ in fit devilish soundless smeha. - Excuse me that I have interrupted you, sonny, - continued on. - We with you as it is woke;waked reasoned about scoundrel. Mozheshi itself to represent, - he mildly bent over onward, long finger his(its) tender stroked from time to time ðåáðèñòóþ polished walking stick, - in all as to scoundrel, I now absolutely can not entrust its eye. Rely only upon sense of smell. And this dovolino. - For the first time person his(its) èñêðèâèëà ãðèìàñà weariness and otvrascheniya. - Here wholly it is enough sharp nyuha. - And, steeply changing subjects, has asked: - As òâîè native? - Yes here is... the aunt Mey has died. I... I am meal on burial. - Signifies, died? The only thing whole. No sympathetic phrases, no politeness condolence, two words - and only. And minute after: - Became to be, go her(its) horoniti. - He pronounce this pensive, as conclusion, on which else cost(stand)s ïîðàçìûñëèòü; has afterwards added: - So, on-òâîåìó, you ìîæåøü to return home? George wondered, ed bewildered: - That is to say... I something not flood plain. You this about than, Judge Blend? The New flash of the pent-up sinister laughter. - About that most! On-òâîåìó, you and âïðàâäó ìîæåøü to return home? - And sharply, coldly, powerful: - Well, answer! Mozheshi? - À... but why no? - George was bewildered, nigh only ispugan. - See here, Judge, - has spoken he hotly, umolyayusche. - I nothing skinny has not done, honored word! Once again calm, devilish chuckle: - You in this certain? On George newly, as in the childhood, has streamed the frantic awe before this person. - Well... well certainly, certain! The Gentlemen, Judge Blend, yes that I such has done? - He has febrile sorted in thought with groups of ten wild, incredible guesswork, his(its) çàõëåñòíóëî nauseous, oppressive consciousness of the blame, but in than he guilty - unknown. It Was Thought: "Can, Judge heard about my book? Can, he knows that I have written about our city? About this he that, speaks?" The Blind quietly, about itself smirked, this irritating game of cat-and-mouse-game for it was ñëàùå honey. - On thief hat blazes - not so, sonny? Already not in power to hide dismay: - What... what I thief! - In heart: - Yes I nor in than not guilty, damn it! - And hotly, frantic: - Me not for that to redden! Nor before whom! I am whole light can peer into eye, devil cover! I not in than repent... All same ghostly ÿäîâèòàÿ smile çàòðåïåòàëà in small piece of coal of the lips blind, and George to fell silent on ïîëóñëîâå. "He is after all been ill! - an ìåëüêíóëà mysli. - Can be, disease has struck not only eye... can be... well yes, Certainly... he ñîøåë with wit!" And he has said slowly, peacefully: - A Judge Blend, - he has got up, - before ñâèäàíüÿ, Judge Blend. The Smile all did not come off lips a blind, but in voice his(its) has sounded the good note: - Before ñâèäàíüÿ, synok. - Fleeting, nearly íåóëîâèìàÿ pauza. - But do not forget, I tried you to forewarn. George will quickly go away, heart his(its) frantically beat, legs and hands trembled. That wanted the Judge Blend to say these word: "On-òâîåìó, you ìîæåøü to return home?"? And that signified this unkind, soundless, vitrolic chuckle? That he heard, Judge? That he knows? But all these, rest, - they too know? By leaps and bounds he has understood that not his(its) one - all in coach presence blind knocked down in boundless, instinctive terror. Even that passengers, which never before saw the Judge Blenda and right before have for the first time heard his(its) shameless causing, cruel words, now looked at it with awe. But inhabitants Libiya-faded the awe struck with duplicated by power, prominent all that they were aware of this person. The Long years he veins amongst them flippant, âûçûâàþùå, on display. Although he and was closed by mask of the venerable person, this was whole only external take;receive - about he went the most evil glory, but court ñîãðàæäàí he met icy ÿäîâèòûì by contempt, which all and each inspired sort of valid thrill. That before Pastor Fleka, Dzharvisa Rigza and mayor Kennedy, these Judge Blend frightened therefore that his(its) unseeing eye saw them through. His(its) sudden appearance in coach, where nobody did not wait his(its) meet, has aroused beside each in hiding place showers irresistible terror. George ðàñïàõíóë door óáîðíîé - and ed on mayor, that cleaned on washstand false teeth. The Plump physiognomy, which on memories George invariably expressed affected áîäðåíüêóþ good will, presently has quite faded. Having Heard that someone entered, mayor steeply turned. And for second in ïîäñëåïîâàòûõ punishment eye his(its) was reflected speechless scare. He incoherent, senselessly something çàëîïîòàë, âñòàâíàÿ jaw trembled in his(its) òðÿñóùèõñÿ finger. He instinctive waved her, exactly crazy, the god news that were to express these absurd and horrible signs, but in them obviously were and terror and despair. Afterwards he has inserted the teeths on place, weakly smiled and çàáîðìîòàë with ïîòóãàìè on its âñåãäàøíþþ gaiety: - Ho-ho, sonny! Here is when you me çàñòóêàë! Without teeth, understand, talk òðóäíîâàòî! Yes, around dashed in eye one and ditto. George noticed this in glance, in moving the hands, and ditto feeling issued, seamingly, the most calm line. The Salt Ayzeks, merchant, has conducted George aside and çàøåïòàë: - You heard that speak about our bank? - He sedge, was hastily looked over, exactly afraid that, as it is thieved has sounded his(its) golos. - Yes no, all well! Certainly, well. Simply our here íåìíîæêî have overdone. Presently beside us, in the total-that, lull, but soon all are brightenned! And all of these interpreted about one, repeated that George already heard. "Deal that cost(stand)s! - with zest spoke they friend, drugu. - In year will possible get the double price". They caughted him(it) on move and with the most great friendly çàáîòëèâîñòüþ persuaded to return and firmly settle in ðîäíîì Libiya-õèëëå: "You flood plains, better place no on light!" And, on îáûêíîâåíèþ, self-confident èçðåêàëè of their own judgement about deal financial, bank, about fluctuation market and prices on premises. But now George felt hidden for all this boundless, wild, frantic awe - an awe, having people, which understand that perished, but even to themselves not to sweep away in this confess. There was already for midnight, and powerful train in moon light raced through Virginiyu on South. The Inhabitants godforsaken ãîðîäèøåê VWXbe drafty dream heard çàóíûâíûé whistle, afterwards short boom, when composition was worn out past, and worrisome âîðî÷àëèñü in their own bed and ãðåçèëè about beautiful and distant greater city. In sleeping cars K19 passengers ðàçîøëèñü on its places. The Nebraska Kreyn ëåã early, but George did not yet lie, in the same way either as three his(its) countrymans - a mayor, banker and political bigwig. All three - stale, arch äåëÿãè, much ed on its age, wingless showers, and, however, in each else lived something from boy, who too áóäîðàæèò the road and reluctance in train to go to bed in time, each pulled on people, and they ñîøëèñü in ïðîêóðåííîì toilet. Will Go the undeterminable male talks, voice for green heavy curtain that towered, that fell off before ïîëóøåïîòà. Low, is thieved, with vitrolic pleasure they recalled all new foul anecdotes from former life of this shameless sinner - a Judges Ramforda Blenda, and each tale was terminated by irrepressible blast of the rough laughter. And here is they roar with laughter, slam itself on hip, will afterwards grow still - and Pastor Flek already to tear to announce new çàâëåêàòåëüíóþ history. He begins muted, mysterious, straight as çàãîâîðùèê: - But remember, as he... Here, the heavy curtain îòêèíóëàñü, all have raised the heads, and entered the Judge Blend. - Well-well, Pastor, - querulous has asked he, - that "remember"? Under icy glance unseeing eye, still on èññîõøåì the person, all three did not find the words. And looked at came with feeling, which little name the awe. - So you here remember? - has repeated the Judge ïîðåç÷å. He confronted these òðîèìè, direct and frail, having packed hands on handle of the walking sticks, which he abut against in sex before itself. Was it Afterwards turned to Dzharvisu Rigzu: - Remember, as you has founded the bank - and boasted that "in all staff of no other bank, where capital grows so quickly"; but to account what grows, question another, here you was not much-that ðàçáîð÷èâ? - A Judge newly turned to Pastor Fleku. - Remember, as one of "our boy", - you their named the boy, you after all in general amateur boy, faithfully, Pastor? - remember, one such "boy" has occupied the money in this most "quickly rising" bank and has bought two hundred acres of the ground on hill for river (now he was turned to mayor) and has sold this ground a city under new graveyard?.. Though (he again addressed to Pastor Fleku), right, do not understand, what for the sake of dead so uzh to try to bury their own dead person. He has born the commanding pause, exactly provincial attorney before final address to juror. - That else you remember? - He suddenly has spoke aloud and sharply, in full golos. - But I, think, not litter, as you, Pastor, all these years fuelled city? Think, not litter, how much advantages you èçâëåê from this most politicians? You never tried to occupy the high public post, not so, Pastor? No, no, you modesty itself! But you will die to choose patriotic thinking people, which very hereto strive, in its generosity they straight-òàêè thirst to serve its congener! About yes. The Not bad business man, pleasantly him to concern with on leisure, not so, Pastor? And all "boys" - a participants and shareholders, each gets solid share of the profit, - after all so this is done, but, Pastor?.. Else that you here remember? - once again âûêðèêíóë on. - But here is I, can be, litter that city collapsed asunder, and in awe waits the ravagings, and the only thing thinks, as it were postpone the hour to inevitable ruin? Yes-yes, Pastor, I beautifully litter all these deal. But by the way, ya-to in they did not participate, I person small. Well yes, - he reproachful ïîêèâàë, - will press other once some swarthy, will extract the òîëèêó of the incom from black quarter, give the cue-what illegal loans, quietly-little by little concern with the usury... however need beside me always was little and tastes the most unpretentious. With I always was enough, well, shall say, modest five percents at week. So my capital small, Pastor. I much what litter, but now me clear that I have squandered power and health, has squandered all their own talents on dissolute life, but here is áëàãî÷åñòèâûå ïóðèòàíå virtuous betrayed its city and served not for awe, but for conscience of the dooms I ravaging their own ñîãðàæäàí. Again minute of the sinister silence - and when Judge has once again spoken, low, nearly carelessly, in even voice his(its) sounded the taunt: - Am afraid, lived I its life at the best ïóñòîïëÿñîì, Pastor, and on old age of the years to come me to recall one duck soup: different merry âäîâèö, which arrived to us in Libiya-hill, yes poker, yes race horses, cards and bones, yes whisky all sort... shorter say, every sort and kind of foul, Pastor, about which your brother righteous person, who neatly each week goes in church, and notions has not. So, it is necessary to think, I figure in old age to console recollection about their own sin - and under the end me, as all good people buried amongst other benefactors society on high-priced graveyard beside us on hill... But I litter and else any miscellaneous, Pastor. And you too ìîæåøü ïðèïîìíèòü. And, can be, my modest activity I have too served the certain purpose - it is necessary whomever to be a black sheep in so worthy herd. That three kept quiet, as fish, not in power to conduct from it âèíîâàòûõ, afraid eye, and each seemed that cool, sightless glance penetrates him(it) through. Else minute Judge Blend silently confronted them - and here is though not a single muscle quailled in his(its) frozen person, in corners sealled ðòà newly slowly çàèãðàëà all same ghostly, íåóëîâèìàÿ smile. - A Good night, gentlemans, - has said he, was turned, has hooked on the walking stick a heavy curtain and has postponed in storonu. - Else. The Whole night George lay in the dark and looked at slitherring for window, in full alarm ñíîâ moon silence, ancient ground Virginii. The Fields, and hills, and gorges, and yard, and newly wood, eternal ground, boundless ground of the America all slithered and glided past in bounless moon silence. In this ïîòóñòîðîííåé to silence untiring thundered the train, announced the silent ground by powerful boom, merged from a thousands sound, woke;waked in George old-old memory: past canto, past person, memory about past, all that strange, anonimous and unexpressed, than live the people that they know and feel, but not in power to voice, èáî no beside them for this words - a legends drowned in mirk of the timeses, ãîðåñòíàÿ ìèìîëåòíîñòü measured out each days, inconceivable and always òðåâîæàùåå prodigy to lifes. Newly, as at one time, all their own baby years, heard he boom travell about, peal of the bell, çàóíûâíûé ocomotive whistle, and he was recalled, as äîëåòàëè before it these sounds with riverside, with fringes of the godforsaken borough, and any once alarmed his(its) boyish shower, without words predicted wild and mysterious joys, generously promised the new countries, morning and distant shining city. But presently solitary wail powerful train by same unbeknownst language spoke him of return. Ibo he returned home. The Pent-up terror, with what he in this evening ëåã sleep, sad presentiment of the change that wait him(it) in ðîäíîì city, and gloomy shade liing ahead the next day bury, - all as if arranged against it, and him already terribly to return home, but after all for years, called on in distant edge, he so often with hope and with delight dreamed to return. But left quite, quite on-other. He still while unknown teacher in one of new-éîðêñêèõ institute, book his(its) while that has not seen the light, and nor on what yardstick, received a visit at his(its) ðîäíîì city, "lucky" and "succeeding" his(its) will not name. Under this thoughts George has suddenly understood that for it hardly la not the most terrible - a pitiless evaluating glance and strict court this teeny borough. He came on wit long years, called on âäàëè from building, years of the wanderings on many city and country. It Was Recalled, as often he thought about house, thought so passionately, so ñàìîçàáâåííî that cost to close the eye - and before he got up each street, and each house, and person of the people, without count surfaced in memories of their word and tales and all cobwebses human ñóäåá. Tomorrow he will see all this once again - and, seems, better him not to arrive. It Is Charged possible was be dissuaded by work, urgent deals. Yes and foolishly finally so be agitated because of this ãîðîäèøêè. But why his(its) always so irresistible pulled home, why he so much thought about ðîäíîì city and remembered him(it) with such blinding brightness before the most small line if so much for not it is important? Not that's why that this borough in êîëüöå of the eternal mountains - single native him cozy corner on the ground? He and knew itself not. Knew only that years òåêóò, as river, and approaches the day, when person returns home. But train all raced on flooded by moon light to ground. 6. RETURN On the other morning, having peered in window, George has seen the mountains. Enormous, êîëäîâñêèå, they âûñèëèñü in blue color, and suddenly äîõíóëî the cool, èñêðèñòûé air intoxicated, and shone, and sparkled. High rose powerful èñïîëèíû, all in íåïðîëàçíûõ green thicket, èññå÷åííûå cleft and gorge, flashed the dizzy steep slopes, escarpments, sudden breakaways and gaps. Teeny the shacks nestled that from the side, on steepness, that - quite èãðóøå÷íûå, as if unoccupued, - far adown, on day óùåëèé. Slowly, it is difficult mounted the train all above, toward èçâå÷íîé to silence of the ground, âêðàä÷èâî clung to èçãèáàì and èçâèâàì mountain declivity, and suddenly George as if has anew found something close and distant, someone else and indiscribable native that knew very long ago, - and he seemed, is woke;waked he completely never and did not leave from these mountains and all that with him was for years, which he has conducted from them âäàëè, only appeared in the dreams. Finally on not steep èçãèáó way train slid to familiar station. And has not yet haved time to he stop, as George, íåîòðûâíî peered into window, saw on platform Rendi SHeppertona with sister, they his(its) waited. Rendi, tall and with view present strong man, impatiently shifting from foot to foot with legs on leg, snooped around the eye on window coach - searched for him(it), George. Margaret - strong, broad in bones, stood firmly, óïîðèñòî, crossbreed hands on belly, and sharp-eyed, quickly, èñïûòóþùå peeked in each window. And when George with valise in hand has jumped down with ñòóïåíåê of the sleeping car and through brilliant rails and macadam, sprinkled between railroad tie, çàøàãàë to platform opposite, he suddenly some scent, îò÷óæäåííî and together has accustomed understood, what word they presently his(its) will meet. They his(its) have seen. Margaret something have astir said the brother and çàìàõàëà hand. And here is Rendi runs to him, ðàäóøíî stretching broad palm, and on run the sonorous tenor âûêëèêàåò the salutatory words. - Sound, friend! - yells on. - What live? Let's the paw! - aloud, from showers speaks he and grits the hand Dzhordzha. - Pleased you to see, Apes! Syplya else some cheer, he strerched for valise George. It Was Tied inevitable in such events mellow exchange of gunfire, and in minute Rendi with triumph has grasped the valise, and they çàøàãàëè to platform moreover Rendi on all protests of the friend scornful answered: - Yes r you, goodness sake! The Weathers, someday I íàãðÿíó in glorious city NEW YORK to you in guests, and then èçâîëü, carry;wear my baggage... But here is and Margaret! - has added he, when they rose on opposite platform. - Know, as she you pleased! Margaret waited him(it) with the most broad smile on simple-hearted person. In the childhood they were a neighbour and grew side by side, nearly as brother with sister. On truth dialect, one time äåñÿòèëåòíåãî George and äâåíàäöàòèëåòíþþ Margaret connected the touching nursery a love - that most, when both are begged in faithfulness before casket and not a bit have no doubt that as soon as will grow, immediately ïîæåíÿòñÿ. But since year all were changed. George has left, but Margaret after death of the parents became to take care of Rendi; she and on ñåé day conducted his(its) facilities and as well as did not leave married. Presently she friendly smiled George, tall, buxom, from she winnowed the merry äîáðîäóøèåì, and all in all her(its) look he has vaguely felt something from old maid - and in he suddenly âñêîëûõíóëàñü pity and áûëàÿ tenderness. - How are you, Margaret! - has said he astir, beside he even has mildly intercepted gorlo. - What live, Margaret? They were changed handshake, and he has awkwardly kissed her(it) in cheek. Afterwards, having reddened from joy, Margaret has retreated on step and has looked over George with mellow-derisive type, with what, could be, teased him(it) in the childhood. - Well that zh! You not much changed, George! Probably, became the ïîïëîòíåé, but even so hear possible! Afterwards, having lowered voice, they have spoken of aunt Mey and about burial, awkward, labored word, as people always speak of deaths. And, feasible this debt, little were silent, previously than newly become themselves itself. The Men exchanged glances and çàóëûáàëèñü. When they were a junker, George seemed that Rendi - poured Merkucio. Small, òî÷åíàÿ, beautiful the forms head, thick light hairs; the rare inborn concinnity in each motion wiry, but light and rash body; and the whole he - alive as quicksilver, cheerful spirit, clear wit, sharp and exact, as the most fine òîëåäñêèé blade. Such Rendi has shown itself and in college - is not only exceed learned;learnt, but has amassed the laurel excellent swimmer and protector in soccer command. But that with he have done time? George has felt the lump in throat. The Thin òî÷åíîå person Rendi cut the deep pleats, and years have left the white trace on whisky. The Hairs already thinned out, it is necessary ëáîì with two parties were marked çàëûñèíû, network fine ìîðùèíîê stretched from small piece of coal eye. George and sadly and even somehow ashamed became that's why that friend looked such getted old and tormented. But the whole strong his(its) have struck the eye Rendi. Previously they were clear, looked at the world sharp-eyed, peacefully and certain, but now in they hid the alert, some nagging care ãëîäàëà him(it) in these minute even, when he sincerely rejoiced meeting with old other. So they stood here âòðîåì, but on platform leisurely approached Dzharvis Rigz, Pastor Flek and mayor, occupied by some interesting talk with one of seen local realtor, which was their meet. Rendi afar çàâèäåë this company and, not ceasing smile, ïîäìèãíóë George and has proded him(it) in side. - Aha, presently you to get! - has yelled he on-mischievous, quite as in boyish gody. - At any hour - from çàðè and before three nights - no forbidden acceptance, heaven and earth good! They only you and wait! - And he derisive ôûðêíóë. - Who waits? - has asked George. - Oho-go! - âåñåëèëñÿ Rendi. - be Yes ruined me, presently they èçîáðàçÿò then and there on place solemn meeting and will take you for gulp - all highwaymans on premises, how much their there is beside us in city! Aging old horse Barns, hustler Poppy Dzhadson, polecat Subject Uogner, devil Promouter and old vampire Sims from Arkansas, äóøèòåëü âäîâ and orphans, - all here as here! - Rendi åõèäíè÷àë vovsyu. - She has said him that you - a suitable buyer, here is they you and äîæèäàþòñÿ! Now your turn! - an çàîðàë on. - She has said him that you go home, and presently they toss a coin, to whom strip with you shirt, but to whom trousers! Ha-ha! - And he has once again proded the friend in side. - Nothing they with I do not ñäåðóò, - çàñìåÿëñÿ Dzhordzh. - With me and strip-that íå÷åãî. - Not it is important! - a plow Rendi. - If beside you to find the spare button on winch, they her(its) will grasp instead of the first donation, but afterwards - ha-ha! - since year in payment is charged will select beside you cuff links, carryings and suspenders! He roared with laughter, such amazed person was beside George. Has Afterwards met the dirty look of the sister, has proded and her(its) ëîêòåì in rib so she angrily âñêðèêíóëà and has knocked him(it) on hand. - You that, Rendi? - has said she with dosadoy. - a Honored word, you conduct itself, as addle-brained fool! Simply fool addle-brained! - Ha-ha! - again çàîðàë Rendi. And peacefully, but still with grin has added: - Probably, come you to make on night in êîìíàòêå on garage, Apes, äðóæèùå. Beside us after all only one guest room, but here has just arrived Deyv Merrit. - a Name Merrita he has named with note of the respects in voice, but afterwards continued carelessly: - But if want - ho-ho! - beside mrs CHarlz Montgomery Hopper there is ïðåìèëàÿ free room, and she will only be pleased çàïîëó÷èòü you in guests! At name of this lady George ñìóùåííî ïîåæèëñÿ. The Words no, she more worthy person and he beautifully her(its) remembers, but not at all thirsts to stop in her(its) rooming house. Margaret has watched him in person and burst out laughing. - That, does not ïîâåçëî you? This zh it is necessary, prodigal son returns home, but we offer him choice - a garage or mrs Hopper? Yes realy this life, say on favour? - No-no, I not against! - has objected George. - A Garage - simply luxurious. And afterwards... - all three again with merry tenderness smiled to each other, they too long ago and well each other knew and understood without spare words, - if I figure on night êóðîëåñèòü, so not ðàçáóæó you, when shall return... But apropos, who such mister Merrit? - See... - Now Rendi, seemed, thought over and weighted each slovo. -... this very important person in our company... my authorities, understand? He detours the branches to Companies in miscellaneous city, checks, all in order. The Excellent lad. He likes you, - seriously äîêîí÷èë Rendi. - We him about you told, and he wants with you to get acquainted. - We so and knew that you do not take offence, - has said Margaret. - Understand, this business relations, we his(its) subordinated, and, certainly, it is necessary to be with him polyubeznee. - But such thrift was too alien her(its) open and ðàäóøíîé to nature, and she has added: - Mister Merrit not bad person. I he likes. We pleased that he beside us stopped. - Deyv excellent lad, - has repeated Rendi. - And he wants with you to get acquainted, this uzh exactly... Well that zh, - continued he, and glance his(its) once again became anxious, - if here more do the íå÷åãî, go. I time in office back. Merrit most certainly already there. Probably, I äîâåçó you before house and îñòàâëþ, but after. So and agreed, Rendi else different smiled, - a worrisome smile, was thought George, - has caught the valise and hastily çàøàãàë through platform to its machine, stood beside curbs at a distance. At day bury George Uebberu was shown that old wooden lodge, which has very long ago built their own hand a father to aunts Mey and his(its) grandparent Lafayet Dzhoyner, not a bit did not change thereafter, as he, George, veins by here boy. The House was all same, former. And, however, he as if became less, in memories George he was not such sleazy and miserable. He left not straight on street, but stood little at heart, on one his(its) party was a house SHeppertonov, on other - an enormous brick domino, where veins uncle Marks Dzhoyner. Along the whole street âûñòðîèëèñü to cars, nearly complitly - an ancient rickety rattletraps, çàëÿïàííûå redhead by clay of the mountain roads. In courtyard before house close-fitting small circle stood the men and seriously exchanged remarks undertone; all of these, with íåïîêðûòûìè head, in strait-laced black ïàðàäíûõ suit, seemed becamed shy-upset and numbed. The áèòêîì folk mobbed In teeny êîìíàòêàõ, before person of the deaths all quieted down, only once again and once again anyone ñäàâëåííî coughed, muted âñõëèïûâàë go blew the nose. Here, there was much Dzhoynerov, three days they met with mountains - an oldsters and old womans, on whose person lay the imprint of the heavy works and cares, first cousins and sisters to aunts Mey, distant relatives and in-laws. Other George saw for the first time, but in all heard the tribe Dzhoynerov - on expression eternal grief and on especial pleat of the ed lips else, as if they with sullen triumph threw call to deaths. In êîìíàòóøêå, where at light of the kerosine lamp, before çûáêèì fire of the centre ñèæèâàëà winter evening aunt Mey and told small George undeterminable histories to deaths and grief, lay she in black casket now, which did not yet close that all could on it to see enough. And, hardly transgressed threshold, George has understood that, at least once, in one attitude aunt Mey, îäåðæèìàÿ at lifes, has triumphed and after death. The Whole its age this chaste aging virgo thrillinged and was terrified under one thoughts, as it were suddenly someday some man accidentally has not seen at least bit of her(its) body. get old, She all more thought about deaths - and her(its) tore apart the awe and shame that someone can see her(its) denuded, when she óìðåò. So funereal deals of the master inspired her terror, and she has forced its brother a Mark and his(its) wife Meg solemnly to promise her that not a single man will not see her(its) dead of the body without cloth that îáðÿæàòü her(its) will be one women(woman), but the main - that her(its) will not become to embalm. And here is already three days, as she has died - three long hot sultry days, - and what this gloomy, but more suitabling uncoupling, was thought George: in time his(its) childhood in this äîìèøêå all reeked the death heal, but will finally remain in memories stink to the äîïîäëèííîé death. The Marks Dzhoyner have heartily shaken the nephew a hand and has said, as he pleased that George to manage to arrive. The Marks held simply, with calm value, which ÿñíåå of the words spoke of calm grief, after all he always sincerely loved the senior sister. But his(its) wife Meg, which fifty years in a row conducted stodgy, ceaseless war with òåòåé Mey, now played the most disconsolate ïëàêàëüùèöó and obviously enjoyed this new role. During undeterminable funeral service while baptist preacher sharp ãíóñàâûì by voice âîçäàâàë ïîêîéíèöå of the praise and sorted the step for at a walk whole her(its) life, Meg that and deal broke the loud sobs and, broad gesture îòêèíóâ long mourning crepe, wiped the charge turgid, reddened eye. With thoughtless callousness çàâçÿòîãî pharisee preacher long and unnecessary retold the old household scandal. Spoke of that, as father George Uebbera has abandoned its wife, Emiliyu Dzhoyner, for the sake of shameless sinful cohabitation with the other woman, and as Emiliya soon deceased, èáî "broken heart has reduced her(it) in grave". About that, as "brother of the Marks Dzhoyner and his(its) god-fearing spouse Meggi Dzhoyner", performing righteous anger, will go in court and have wrested the been orphaned boy from beneath trusteeships of the sinner father; and as "good woman that rests presently before us", has undertaken the charge about son of the sister and âîñïèòàëà him(it) on-christian. And he pleased to see, continued the orator that young person, on êîåãî is pointed was a sheatfish worthy mercy, returned home to return the last debt that, to whom so many is obliged. So he perorated, and all this time Meg âñõëèïûâàëà and choked, expressing disconsolate grief, but George sat, not raising eye, and that bit the lips, that sorely gritted to jaws, and perspiration by hail rolled on his(its) person, crimson from shame, fury and loathings. The Day already leaned;leant on to evening, and finally-that service ended. The People came out of building, took seats on machine, and long procession slowly äâèíóëàñü to graveyard. With enormous relief George has slipped away from nearest ðîäè÷åé, ïîäîøåë to Margaret SHepperton, and they two together sowed;sown in one of booked closed machines. The Car already ready was be touched and occupy its place in the total âåðåíèöå, and here some woman ðàñïàõíóëà door and subnet to him third. This turned out to be mrs divide;share Flad, old-time girlfriend to aunts Mey, George knew her(its) whole its life. - À, how are you, youth, - has said she George, withdrewing in machine and ñàäÿñü with him ryadom. - Here is was proud of your aunt Mey if b knew that you has ïðèêàòèë home in such distance to her on burial. Mey always was about you the most high opinion, synok. - She has absently noded Margaret. - I saw that beside you here there is free place. Not to disappear him, dialect. Shall Sit yes and shall go. What ceremonies to divorce. Don't care whomever to go, so why and not me. divide;share Flad was a childless widow more then mature years, íèçåíüêàÿ, thick and strong, with black as jet-black hair, piercing brown peephole and indefatigable language. Vcepitsya dead by grasp in the first counter - and speaks, speaks, choke;throttle;smother some stodgy historian without beginning and end. The Woman well-to-do, she most of all loved to spread about real estates. Else long before present the çåìåëüíîãî of the boom, unrestrained gamble and mad growing of the prices she was simply crazy on verse-sale çåìåëüíûõ area and very had a fine understanding of their cost. The Certain sixth feeling invariably prompted her, in what direction will become to grow the city, and when her(its) predictions came true, nearly always it appears that she has posessed the most best area and now can resell them with considerable advantage for itself. The Vein she simply and conservatively, but haved a reputation for the áîãà÷êîé. Several minutes mrs Flad kept the pensive silence. But when funereal procession slowly äâèíóëàñü on street Libiya-faded, she became to throw the quick glances that in right then in left window and soon, without any foreword, was taken tell its fcompanion(satellite) a history each building and holdings, past which they ïðîåçæàëè. This was monotonous, before stupor in detail and exhasting. She chattered without respite, short, in disorder âçìàõèâàÿ hand, and if once in a while on wink fell silent, that only then to it is important ïîêèâàòü in token approvals own speech. - Understand, yes? - spoke she and with conviction noded to itself, not at all not taking care, listen her(it) or no, good sit some èñòóêàíû on role slushateley. - Understand that they have here conceived to carry out, yes? Well, as, Fred Barns, Swarm Sims and Poppy Dzhadson, the whole this øàòèÿ - well, as! Yes-yes! Stand-ka! - an âîñêëèêíóëà she, concentrated knitting brovi. - I about this read, so? This zh was in newspaper... well yes, well yes... the week back or, can, two... about that, as they decided to carry whole this quarter, but on place of the old houses to build the luxurious garage, in our edge such did not yet can be! You Understand, the most huge garage, whole quarter will occupy, but on him splendid domino, eight floors, and the first floor will too conduct under machines and will become to deliver the premiseses a doctor under acceptance sick... yes-yes, as, but on most top, on roof, even ðàçîáüþò the garden and will make the big restaurant. They all this flies in ïîëìèëëèîíà dollars, yes with õâîñòèêîì else, each square feet will dispense in two thousand! - exclaimed ona. - Phooey, gap! This is zh price for the Main of the street... For such money possible in most centre ground to cut off. Has Said I him that to that, yes where there... - she ëåãîíüêî, contemptuous swings the head, - no, fifes! They only here ground give, nothing other do not want. Well and will lose all before the last shirt, their happiness if themselves safe will remain! George and Margaret were not called back nor word, but divide;share Flad as if this and has not noticed and, when procession, ïðîåõàâ on bridge, has rolled up on Preston-avenue, continued to bend its: --Ka halitosis on that house and area under him. Two years back I for he has paid twenty five thousand, but presently him price all fifty and nor penny less. Yes-yes, and uzh I this price shall take. Phooey, gap! No, you listen! - She energetically çàìîòàëà golovoy. - Me-that him not îáëàïîøèòü! I have immediately understood that beside it on wit. Yes! The Poppy Dzhadson to I came, so? Wanted with me to agree on a price, so? Well as, as far back as begin aprelya. - She impatiently îòìàõíóëàñü, is woke;waked this must be known all and kazhdomu. - And the whole gang with him at the same time, he for them and acts, clear, as twice two. "Here is that I shall say you, - govorit. - We, speaks, know, you woman business, acute, we put high you, enter with us in company, here is, breakwater, I you îòäàì three excellent areas on Sosnovoy road in Ridzhvude, but you me - this house and area on Preston-avenue. You, speaks, in this deal nor cent to invest no need. This, speaks, honest exchange, so on so, simply we do not want, ÷òîá you remained in party". But I him: "That zh, dialect, much with your parties prettily, Poppy, for courtesy thank you. You Want, dialect, get this house and my area on Preston-avenue - why zh, èçâîëüòå. The Price my, dialect, you known - fifty thousand". And so stright and ask - but your, breakwater, ðèäæâóäñêèå area how much is? But he me: "Yes as, breakwater, say. I, breakwater, in accuracy do not know, how much they presently cost(stand). The Prices to the ground all time grow". But I him straight in eye and dialect: "So here is, dialect, Poppy, ÿ-òî know the price this area, they presently do not cost(stand) and that that you for they have paid. The City grows not in that party. And åæåëè want to get this house and area, dialect, âûêëàäûâàéòå the cash and get. But be changed I not figure". So I have said, and, understandable, on that deal and ended. More he about this not çàãîâàðèâàë. Yes-yes, I have immediately understood that beside it on wit. Approaching to graveyard, âåðåíèöà of the machines passed the crossroad - an unpaved road conducted between flap upwards, to rare lonely pine. Where this road was infused in freeway, on both parties her(its) stood two poles from cut granite - they have noted as it were entry in beautiful, not yet built city that dignified will rise here on hill, wave rolled away from yard to green thicket. But while about ãðÿäóùåì âåëèêîëåïèè witnessed one only these splendid is told lies yes âáèòûé amongst field pole and on him board with inscription. - À? What is a? - afraid âñêðèêíóëà mrs Flad. - That is there written? All have extended to necks, trying on move to analyse the inscription, and George has read aloud: "Riverkrest. In honour of all inhabitants çäåøíåãî edges and in glory new and the best city, which they are here erected". Mrs Flad has listened to this with evident pleasure. She has slowly bent the head in token made consents. - Aha! - has said ona. - So it and will. Margaret has nudged George ëîêòåì in side and bent over to most his(its) fish soup. - "D"! - contemptuous has whispered she and continued the æåìàííûì tone mundane damochki. - Not truth, as prettily? In honour of that that you will take for throat and îáäåðóò as ëèïêó. On road, bending around graveyard, procession slowly âòÿíóëàñü in gates and finally stopped near round hiltop, ïîíèæå place óïîêîåíèÿ Dzhoynerov. In one corner of this area grew the enormous ðîæêîâîå tree, and under his(its) canopy yore buried all Dzhoynerov. Here stood household monument - heavy square ãëûáà cast-iron-sulphur, before briliance of the polished granite, on shining iron;press;pet his(its) emerged the letters: "Dzhoyner". On both parties this main inscription - a name and d.o.b. and deaths of the oldster Lafayeta and his(its) wife; but around sulphur granite ãëûáû on valance declivity by rows were situated the graves an äåòåé Lafayeta. On each - a monument somewhat less and on him, under name and date, is sliced written out some touching verse. With êðàþ this household graveyard gloomy çèÿëà ñâåæåâûðûòàÿ pit, was beside showerred lump hutch yellow clay. Above, on declivity of the hill, waited the placed rows folding chair. To him and moved now all, who âûëåçàë from machines. The Marks, Meg and all other Dzhoynery have occupied the front rows, George with Margaret and mrs Flad, which as before went abreast of them, sowed;sown in the last row. All rest - a friends, distant relatives and simply familiar - become small circle behind. Opposite graveyard ãóñòî çåëåíåëè, approximately mile on two, ïîðîñøèå by wood hills and glens, they came down to sinuous stream, but opposite just, on the other coast, was situated most town centre, business his(its) part. Are they Distinctly seen were a spires and building - and old buildings, and splendid new buildings: hotels, institutions and offices, garages, öåðêâè, but amongst familiar outlines, flippant sparkling, rose the wood and concrete wall of the new constructions. This was a splendid spectacle. Accompanying occupied their own place and waited while carrying casket îäîëåþò with this burden last slow and heavy ascent on hiltop, but in the interim mrs Flad, having packed hands on knee, intently considered the city. Was it Afterwards taken pensive to swing the head, ñîæàëåþùå and has in disapproval ed the lips and has said as if about itself: - Gm, gm, gm! Bad deal, bad, bad deal! - What is a, mrs Flad? - bent to her, has in whisper asked Margaret. - That bad? - Yes here is, what is a place has chosen under graveyard, - has with regret said that. She spoke such theatrical in whisper that all around heard each slovo. - Only yesterday I spoke Frenku Kendleru - it is necessary, two ñàìîëó÷øèõ of the area wherever city be built, but their have taken and have returned swarthy yes decedent! Here is after all that have done! But I always spoke - two best areas under çàñòðîéêó, with the most excellent type, this Black village and Upper graveyard. I him one hundred years back could explain this, yes they themselves could understand if b saw although little a little farther own nose: someday, our city will become to grow, and this ground will jump in the price. Well, say on favour! When supervised the area on graveyard, why, say on favour, have not chosen although Bakston-hill? And type there excellent, and the ground not that price. But here, - all louder dried peaches she, - then and there most that nor on there is suiting place for çàñòðîéêè! For vein better does not ïðèäóìàåøü. À about swarthy - I always spoke, him will better if their resettle in low-lying area that near stations. Now-that, certainly, late, nothing will not do, but only here firmly mistakenned! - an äîêîí÷èëà she all same in whisper and has swung golovoy. - YA-to always this knew! - Yes, probably, you rule;govern, - has whispered Margaret. - I earlier never about this did not think, but, probably, you rule;govern, - and has nudged George ëîêòåì in side. The Casket has put(deliver)ed, and preacher already read short, âîëíóþùå solemn last prayer. Have Slowly lowered the casket in grave. And when black lid did not become is seen, George has pierced such quiping, not âûðàçèìàÿ word pain, such bitterness, what he never felt. But also in that wink he understood that this not grief about aunt Mey. This is nerve-racking pity to to itself and to all people on light because person are given scanned days and so measly small life human, too quickly approaches the inevitable darkness and no her end. And else: here is did not become the aunts Mey, in the whole unite no more nor one close him person, and now he clear former has felt that was terminated certain epoch in his(its) lifes. Before him, as gap, ðàçâåðçëîñü future, and on wink his(its) have covered the terror and despair, exactly been losted child, was after all torn off last thread that linked him(it) with native steal, and he now homeless, solitary, deprived cortex, and on the whole enormous planet no door, which open him, no building, which he could name its. The People already left from grave, slowly went to its machine. But Dzhoynery did not get up with places until ëåãëà on grave hillock and was not crushed ïîïëîòíåé last shovel ground. Then only, feasible its debt, rose and they. Other stood then and there and low, long exchanged remarks, other will go to stroll amongst monument, bent over, read the inscription, but were afterwards rectified and recalled aloud some forgotten event from life some forgotten Dzhoynera. But finally and they too started to disperse. George did not want to return together with them, willy-nilly happened to listen, as they judge and ðÿäÿò about aunt Mey, sort whole her(its) life on çåðíûøêó; and he has taken Margaret under hand and tale through comb of the hill on other his(its) party. They silently have stood here in scythe ray calling at sun, ãëÿäÿ, as enormous burning ball is lowered for edge of the distant mountains. And majestic beauty of the sundown, and calm presence of the women(woman) have beside brought the alarmed shower George world and sedation. They returned to grave; the graveyard already îáåçëþäåëî, but, approaching to area Dzhoynerov, they have seen divide;share Flad - she else waited them. They quite about it have forgotten, but after all she and could not leave without them: on gravel to road beside ïîäíîæüÿ of the hill remained only one machine, mercenary chauffeur has rescued, having curlled up for meat loaf. Mrs Flad went amongst graves, that and deal stopped, bent over and under quickly fading light âãëÿäûâàëàñü in some epitaph. Afterwards stood in second thought and watched for river, on city, where already flashed up, blinking, the first lights. When George with Margaret ïîäîøëè, she turned to him as nor in than did not can be, is woke;waked and has not noticed their absences, and has spoken, on its strange îáûêíîâåíèþ, fragmentary, at random âûäåðãèâàÿ word from flow of the thoughts, the known only her most. - It is Necessary, has taken and has dragged over her(it) on the other place, - pensive has said ona. - it is Necessary person to get to such heartlessness. U-u! - Her(its) has even pulled from otvrascheniya. - a Blood ñòûíåò in vein, what shall think! And after all all he spoke, all then spoke - it is necessary, nor dripped pity in person, take and drag over her(it) from that place, where her(its) have buried! - About lump this you, mrs Flad? - has absently asked Dzhordzh. - Who have dragged over? - Yes Emiliyu, who else, òâîþ mother, boy! - was impatiently called back she and flap of the hand has pointed to èñòî÷åííûé by time and bad weather stone. George bent over and read introduce inscription: "Emiliya Uebber, native-born Dzhoyner" and sliced under d.o.b. and deaths poetry: The Voice familiar not audible, And is not seen nice person, Spirit her(its) âîçíåññÿ in area âûøíþþ, Angel will ripen he and Creator. We remained the tears and sobs, And one only joy ahead of - Newly her(its) îáíèìåì at hour of the appointment In kindom áîæèåì on íåáåñè. - With this and began the transmigration! - spoke mrs Flad. - Nobody and does not äîäóìàëñÿ here to bury if b not Emiliya. And here you are! - with annoyance âûêðèêíóëà ona. - a Woman uzh year what has died and quieted down in grave, and here he âîçüìè yes and âáåé to itself in head that it is necessary to carry her(it) on the other place, and no cajolery his(its) does not ïðîéìåøü! As, as, your äÿäþøêà Marks Dzhoyner - he such! His(its) realy outargue! - with zest âñêðè÷àëà she, is woke;waked for the first time èçóìëÿÿñü such otkrytiyu. - Well as, else! In that time just beside them was whole this scrape because of your father, boy. He threw Emiliyu and has left to that, to the other woman... But uzh ya-to must return him spravedlivosti. - She resolutely çàêèâàëà golovoy. - When Emiliya has died, John Uebber has entered as decent, he her(its) ñõîðîíèë itself - has said, she him wife, and ñõîðîíèë. Has Bought the area on old graveyard, there her(it) and has placed. But afterwards, more year passed, - you and itself know, boy, - and here Marks Dzhoyner quarrelled because of you with your father - to whom you to bring up, - and gave in court, and has won! Well as, here is then Marks and âáèë to itself in head that ashes Emilii it is necessary to carry. Has Said, will not allow, ÷òîá his(its) sister lay in the ground Uebberov! Understandable, beside it already was this area, here, on hill, nobody never and in head did not come be here withdrewed. Here only small private ó÷àñòî÷åê was, several families here buried their own, here is and all. She was silent, ed pensive âäàëü, on city, afterwards has newly spoken: - Your aunt Mey - she tried with Mark to talk, but this was don't care as ãîðîõ about wall. She me then all and has told. Yes no, where there! - Mrs Flad resolutely çàòðÿñëà golovoy. - Once uzh him that âçäóìàëîñü, his(its) nor on hair will not shift! She speaks him: "listen;hear, Marks, ýäàê does not be fit. Where Emiliyu ñõîðîíèëè, there her and it is necessary to remain". Much not on shower her was his(its) çàòåÿ. "Beside decedent, speaks she him, too there is their own right. Where tree fell, there him and lie", - here is as she has said him. So no! And listen did not become, nobody could not his(its) outargue. "start;put, Speaks although and itself ïîìðó, but uzh her(its) ïåðåõîðîíþ! Don't care ïåðåõîðîíþ, åæåëè come - itself, their own hand casket shall dig, and on its hunch through river shall carry, and on hill âòàùó! Here is where she will lie, speaks, and more you to me with this not nag!" Well, here your aunt Mey has understood that uzh he has in one's own way solved and interpret with him uselessly. Only mistakenned on this, awe what mistakenned, - has mumbled she, slowly swing golovoy. - So much works, and all in vain. Uzh if he before that close to heart this took, so and buried her(it) here immediately, what has died! But only, I think, this he because of court, after court all friend on friend wolf started to watch, - peacefully äîêîí÷èëà ona. - Therefore and other have began here to bury, - she broadly tale by hand, - with this all and has gone. Well, as! When old graveyard was filled, have begun the new place to look after, well and here is, one of the gangs of the Pastor Fleka in municipality âîçüìè yes and âñïîìíè this weld because of Emilii and how much here ground becomes deserted around old graves. And has thought that to buy their possible çàäåøåâî, well and has bought. Here is as deal was. But I always about this felt sorry. I this from the very beginning did not like. She again çàìîë÷àëà and, absorbed by recollection, knit was crowded on èñòî÷åííûé, time and bad weather grave stone. - So here is, I and dialect, - unflappable continued she, - when your aunt Mey saw that he has solved in one's own way and his(its) do not outargue, íå÷åãî and try, she in that day, as Emiliyu carried, go on old graveyard and me with itself has called. Well and äåíåê was issued - a chill, wind, know, as at March can be! In accuracy as in that day, when Emiliya has died. Well and, certainly, aging mrs Renn and Emi Uiliyamson will too go, they after all were with Emiliey girlfriends. And, certainly, when we came, him was curiously enough, wanted their own eye to, itself understand, - unflappable has explained she, mentionning of this worthy vampire curiosity without the most slightest udivleniya. - They and I persuaded to. Your aunt Mey quite ill ed so Mark happened to to take her(it) home, well but I nature has born. "No, dialect, åæåëè you such curious, let's, see ââîëþ, but I on this watch not figure! I, dialect, pleasing her(its) remember such, as she was living". And represent, they its obtained. Have Forced the oldster Pruva - remember, oldster, swarthy, he beside Mark worked, - have forced his(its) open the casket, but I was unscrewed and îòîøëà, while they there watched, - peacefully told ona. - In two minutes ñëûøó - go. Well, I turned, and know that I shall say you, good they were both! On behalf of nor êðîâèíî÷êè, and all quake! "Well that, ask, complacent? Admired?" But mrs Renn, know, pale as ghost, trembles and hands breaks. "Oh, speaks, divide;share, what terror! And why only I ãëÿäåëà!" But I her: "Aha, breakwater that I spoke you? Made sure now?" But she speaks: "Oh, speaks, nothing do not remain, nothing! All have rotted, hear it is impossible! The Persons did not remain, one teeths! And íîãòè îòðîñëè here is such long! But hairs, divide;share, hairs! That I shall say you, hairs simply beautiful! They so îòðîñëè, the whole her(its) have enfolded... never I such beautiful hair not âèäàëà. But rest... and why only I watched", - speaks. "So I and thought, - answer, - so I and thought. I knew that you ïîæàëååòå, here is and did not become to watch!" But so it all in accuracy and was, - an äîêîí÷èëà mrs Flad, very complacent its wisdom. All time while she told, George and Margaret stood, as if having become numb, on their person has frozen the terror, but mrs Flad did not turn nor the most slightest attention on them. The Glance her(its) is directed was to gravestone Emilii, lips pensive; little waiting she has said: - Not even know, when I recalled Emiliyu and John Uebbera... They both already so much years in grave. She lies here, but he quite one there beside itself, on the other end of the city, and the whole their scandalous history like was very long ago forgotten. You Know, - she has raised the eye, in voice her(its) çàçâó÷àëî the strong beliefs, - I faith that they again together, and were reconciled, and lucky. I am a faith that someday to meet them in the best world, and with all my old friends, and all of these lucky, and beside them new life. She was silent the minute, afterwards was resolutely turned and has looked at city - there in twilight already brightly, certain, not blinking blazed the lights. - Well, have gone! - vividly, has merrily yelled ona. - a Time home! Becomes already quite dark! Vtroem they silently came down on declivity of the hill to machine. And when already were going to to sit, mrs Flad stopped and tender, friendly has placed the hand George on shoulder. - A Young person, - has said she, - I long vein on light, and, as it is spoken, the world does not cost(stand) on place. Beside you whole life ahead of, you else much whole will hear and heap of the deals will remake... but listen;hear that I shall say you, boy! - And she has suddenly looked at it in stress, direct, merciless vzglyadom. - a Mortar, ïîøàòàéñÿ âäîâîëü on light, the whole see a lot of, but are afterwards returned and will say me, there is where place better native building! I saw much changes on its age and shall else see, while live. Us else wait much great news, - a great progress, great inventions - will so much for. Can, I and not äîæèâó, but you-that äîæèâåøü and see itself. Excellent beside us city and excellent people, they his(its) will do still better - and our song while that is not sung. Beside me on eye Libiya-hill âûðîñ from the most common village, but someday he will become hereby big and glorious city. She was silent, as if waited that George will answer, will confirm her(its) predictions; he has only noded, showing what heard, but she has taken this as sign of the consent and continued: - Your aunt Mey always hoped that you are returned home. And you are returned, yes-yes! No on light of the place better and êðàøå our mountains, and someday you are returned for ever. 7. PROSPEROUS CITY The Whole week after bury aunts Mey George anew got acquainted with home towns, and these days have filled his(its) alert. The Small sleepy mountain village his(its) childhood - but in that time this and âïðÿìü was only village - became íåóçíàâàåì. Even streets, which he knew thoroughly and so often recalled at the last years, - deserted in ïîñëåïîëóäåííûé hour, sunk in well him introduce lazy nap, now seethed the activity, on he raced the expensive machines, their filled the people, which he never before saw. Only once in a while got the familiar persons, and in this strange, unaccustomed bustle they seemed George lighthouse, dawning in darkness on deserted coast. But most of all he dashed in eye - but having noticed this once upon a time, he became be supervised and now noticed all over - an especial expression on all person. It puzzled and scarecrow, and when George tried his(its) somehow define, on wit came one only word: madness. Certainly, so worrisome, so febrile can shine the eye beside crazy only. The Persons of the scolded inhabitants and visitor as if issued one and ditto pent-up wicked rejoicing. And when they handily and pushy laid itself way, entrenching VWXbe drafty crowd, in each of them, in all tele seemed some wild ïîðûâèñòîñòü, as if they moved under the action of strong drug. As if in city all before united were drunk, and this incomprehensible intoxication was not terminated by weariness, did not kill, does not îòóïëÿëî and did not end, but only caused the new blasts untamable exulting energy. The People, which he knew whole its life, hailled him(it) on street and shook him hand. - À, sound, friend! - spoke oni. - As pleasantly that you returned! Now ïîæèâåøü the building? Here is and well! Well, else! But presently me it is necessary run, it is necessary be met with one small, sign the cue-what papers! Pleased was you to! All this they âûïàëèâàëè one spirit, not slowing step; ñòèñíóâ his(its) hand in salutatory handshake, they away, nearly dragged him(it) for itself, but äîãîâîðèâ - disappeared. And with all parties senses, senses, senses - before stupor, without respite. And the whole this dissonance is reduced to hum of one subject: gamble by premises. The People reconverge the äåëîâèòûìè mug at the door drugstores, beside mails, beside courthouses and municipality - and speak, speak. Hastily stride on street, absorbed by talk, and only once in a while absently nod familiar when meeting. Around êèøìÿ êèøàò realtor. Their ëåãêîâóøêè and buses are worn out on street, rushes for city all new supposed client. Somewhere on êðûëüöå they unwind the drawings and avenues and whoop the hard of hearing old woman seductive promises sudden enrichment. Hunt for any äè÷üþ, for cripple, lame, blind, cater and veteran of the Civil war, and decrepit, æèâóùèõ on pension âäîâ, does not ãíóøàþòñÿ neither boy and äåâ÷îíêàìè with school pew hardly, nor negro - a chauffeur lorry, seller of the club soda, elevator operator, cleaner footwear. The Ground bought all; and all and each, on name or indeed, turned out to be "landowner". The Hairdressers, attorneys, grocers, butchers, masons, tailor - all absorbed and obsessed were one and same. And for all, as it is seen, existed one-single firm rule: buy, without the end to buy, for any price, how much nor will ask, and not later than in two days to sell for any price, what âçäóìàåøü to fix itself. This was as in VWVappear in the dreams. On all street Libiya-faded the ground continuously changed hands; but when already did not remain the made habitable streets, on neighboring abandoned lot with febrile speed were laid new, - and else previously, than their haved time to çàìîñòèòü and build on them at least one house, the ground this once again was on sale and was reselled - on acre, on area, on square feet, for a hundreds of a thousands of the dollars. Around reigned the spirit drunk wastfulness and frantic destruction. The most Picturesque small piece of coal of the city were on sale for mad price. In most heart Libiya-faded rose at one time miraculous green hill, he pleased the eye áàðõàòèñòûìè lawn and dignified tree-èñïîëèíàìè, flower beds and alive èçãîðîäÿìè from flowering honeysuckle, but on top his(its) stood the enormous dilapidated wooden building old-ïðåñòàðîé of the hotel. From her(its) windows possible was admire the bounless mountain ãðÿäàìè in misty distances. George well remembered this hotel, her(its) broad verandahs and comfortable rocking chairs, uncountable skates and cornices, mess annex and corridor, ample ãîñòèíûå with òîëñòûìè red êîâðàìè and âåñòèáþëü with red êîæàíûìè easy chair, on which from old age already indelible were a dents and imprint human tel, and scent of the tobacco, and ïîçâÿêèâàíüå ëüäèíîê in high goblet. The Splendid dinning-room always packed was a laughter and low voice, and deft black man of the servant in white jacket bent, bowed and chuckled the øóòî÷êàì áîãàòûõ north, deftly, with concinnity nearly ñâÿùåííîäåéñòâåííûì, giving the most excellent meal on old-time silver dish. George were remembered and smiles, and gentile beauty is reaped and äî÷åðåé these north áîãà÷åé. In the childhood all this struck his(its) unspeakable mystery, after all these áîãàòûå travelliers arrived from distant distances and strange image brought with itself something from that miraculous, unencountered world, presentiment enormous fairy-tale city that promised the briliance, glory and love. This was one of the best small piece of coal in city, but now from he did not remain and trace. The Army of the people with shovel approached on beautiful green hill and has carried him(it), but ugly flat abandoned lot has covered oppressive, repugnant whitish cement and has tuned the shop, garages, offices and car stop, - êðè÷àùå new, they offended the eye, - and now just under that revenge, where stood previously aging hotel, was built new hotel. It Was Expected that this will be a building in sixteen floors, complitly glass, concrete and pressed brick. It was is as if stamped by gigantic standard form that modelled to hotels, as cookie, - a thousand of the pieces, absolutely alike country-wide. And to distinguish this brainchild of the stamp and monotonies although some, let forged value, hotel was expected name "Libiya-Ritc". Once upon a time George faced Semom Pennokom - a comrade of the baby years and schoolmates on college Payn-Ron. Sem raced on populous, busy street its former hasty, rash at a walk and not even çäîðîâàÿñü, has spoken - a speech him(it), and in áûëûå years hoarse, sharp, îòðûâèñòàÿ, was shown George quite uzh febrile. - You when has arrived?.. For a long time?.. That will say about our deal?.. - And, not äîæèäàÿñü answer, has suddenly asked âûçûâàþùå, impatiently, nearly contemptuous: - You that zh, so and intending to remain whole life an ó÷èòåëèøêîé on salary two thousand per annum? This is a scornful tone, this hubris, which was drafty in habit all çäåøíèõ inhabitants, bulging from consciousness its wealth and ïðåóñïåÿíèÿ, has piqued George, and he has answered in heart: - Be the occupations and ïîõóæå, than teach the boys in school! To example - be a millionaire on paper. À about two thousand per annum - their possible take in hands, Sem! This not that price of the ground, this persisting money. On them possible to buy the piece of ham bread. Sem burst out laughing. - Here is this faithfully! - has said on. - I you do not convict. This is a net truth! - He has slowly swung golovoy. - About, gentlemen... here all completely with wit ïîñõîäèëè... Otrodyasi nothing like not âèäàë... Yes, all have simply gone crazy! - an âîñêëèêíóë on. - With they do not ñãîâîðèøü... Nor in than will not convince... They you simply do not listen... Take for the ground such money, as in NEW YORK such do not get... - And âïðàâäó get these money? Sem âèçãëèâî çàñìåÿëñÿ. - Well, see... get first five hundred dollars, - has said on. - But rest five hundred thousand - by instalments. - And on how much consents? - A Gentlemen, yes I do not know... Probably, on how much want... For ever!.. This not it is important... The next day you itself will sell for a million. - By instalments? - Here is exactly! - with laughter çàêðè÷àë Sem. - And in two counts rescue ïîëìèëëèîíà. - By instalments? - Has Guessed! - has said Sem. - Exactly that by instalments... Have Gone crazy, have gone crazy, have gone crazy, - repeated he, dare and swing golovoy. - So it and there is. - And you too this concern with? Sem immediately became tense serious. - You, probably, will not believe, - has hotly said on. - I row the money by shovel!.. For the last two months îãðåá three hundred thousand dollars!.. Here is honored word!.. Has Yesterday bought the area and so handily turned, in two hours has reselled... Fifty thousand has earned here is so, in two counts! - He has snapped palicami. - But your äÿäþøêà will not sell the house on Lokast-ñòðèò, where vein your aunt Mey?.. You with him about this did not yet speak?.. If I offer;suggest buy, can, he will think? - Yes, probably if offer is of advantage. - But how much he wants? - has impatiently asked Sem. - For one hundred thousand will return? - But you ìîæåøü to get such money? - At twenty four hours shall get, - has said Sem. - I know one person, he this house with hand will come off... Here is that, Apes if you will persuade the uncle to sell, brockerage shall do... I you äàì five thousand. - Well, Sem, çàìåòàíî. Mozheshi to lend me fifty cents in count of this deal? - So he, on-òâîåìó, will sell? - has greedily asked Sem. - A Right, do not know, but hardly. This house belonged to else my grandparent. The Old-time household property. Probably, äÿäþøêà will want his(its) save. - Save! Yes what sense to save?.. Presently most time for good bargain. The Best price to him âîâåê nobody will not give! - Yes I know, but only he calculates not today-tomorrow find there on çàäâîðêàõ oil, - with laughter has said George. In this minute something çàñòîïîðèëîñü in rash street motion. From flow of the more modest machines was separated splendid expensive car, is sailled slid to curb and çàìåð, sparkling nickel, glass and chromed by steel. Vylez noisy dolled up rider, lazy and haughtily øàãíóë on sidewalk, has carelessly put under mouse smart cane and, picture, leisurely joining with ed from tobacco finger lemon-æåëòûå gloves, has percolated the chauffeur in livery: - Can leave, James. Zaezzhayte for me through half an hour. Beside this subject was becoming very thin çåìëèñòî-pale physiognomy with sealled cheek. Only big tumid nose brightly ðäåë, and on he distinctly stood out the complex network mauve ïðîæèëîê. In lieu thereof long ago âûïàâøèõ teeth sparkled the false briliance such enormous âñòàâíûå to jaws that lips did not close them, and they shown whole light grow dark cemetery grin. The Whole he was ãðóçíûé, run, and, however, something in he directed on thought about unrestrained debaunchery. He äâèíóëñÿ on sidewalk, gravely resting in walking stick, baring the teeth in gloomy, false smile, and suddenly George has heard in this rubble well familiar him since baby years Tima Uognera. Dzh.Timoti Uogner (Dzh. he has considered necessary to add itself most recently and without any bases, but, certainly, for dence forest of importance, èáî supposed that so it befits one, recently plays so prominent role in deal of the home town) was a black sheep in bed from the most old and venerable çäåøíèõ family. When George Uebber was a boy, Subject Uogner has already haved time to all completely disillusion and lost the last crumbs whose that nor was a respects. He was a primary drunkard on the whole city. His(its) championship on this part nobody and has not thought dispute. Here him in some sense even adored. As âûïèâîõà he was glorified, about his(its) drunk feat went the hundreds an anecdote. To example, once upon a time visitors, from íå÷åãî to do the wirled away soiree in drugstore Poppy-Kormaka, have seen, as Subject something have swallowed and the whole was convulsive pulled. So was repeated several times in a row, and çåâàêàì became curiously enough. Ispodtishka they have begun be supervised. Through several minutes Subject has stealthily started the hand in aquarium with goldfishes and has pulled out áüþùååñÿ in his(its) finger teeny essence. And once again - a quick gulp and convulsive tremor. To twenty five years he has inherited two conditions and both has squandered. About pleasurable trip, which he has celebrated the reception second inheritance, told the ïðåâåñåëûå to histories. The Subject has hired the private car, has loaded him(it) before refusal alcohol and has selected itself in fcompanion(satellite)s of the most out and out drunkards, idler and hookers, what were only sewn on in Libiya-õèëëå. The Orgy lasted eight months. The Company rambling âûïèâîõ has detoured whole Country. They split the empty flasks about impregnable wall Skalistyh mountains, chucked the empty cask in bay SAN FRANCISCO, have dotted the plains a bottle from beneath beer. Finally they got before capital, on the remainder its inheritance Subject has removed the whole floor in one of the çíàìåíèòûõ îòåëåí, and here revellers were cloyed before èçíåìîæåíèÿ. One for others, dislodged from power, they returned âîñâîÿñè and building narrated about such orgy, what light not âèäàë with timeses roman emperor, but Subject under the end remained in solitude in îïóñòåëûõ, ðàçãðîìëåííûõ luxurious apatment. Hereon he quickly äîêàòèëñÿ before deep drunkenness. But even and then were saved in him traces of some attractiveness, nigh only charms. All pertained to him with condescending taciturn liking. The Subject did not cause the harm to nobody, except most itself, this was essence harmless and mellow. All got accustomed to see him(it) on evening on street. After sunset his(its) possible was meet anywhere. About that, insofar he already intoxicate, not difficult was judge on that, as he moved. Nobody never saw that he went swaying. His(its) did not bring from parties aside from one edge of the sidewalk to another. Opposite, pretty having drunk once fill, he strode much straight and by leaps and bounds, but ridiculously small, short øàæêàìè. Went the having bent head and ïðåçàáàâíî hastily kept an eye on that to the right, that to the left, is woke;waked possum. But when felt that legs here is-here is refuse him to serve, simply stopped, leaned;leant to that has got, whether lamp post, door jamb, wall or shop window of the drugstore, and ïðåñïîêîéíî stood on one place. In such solemn stillness, which only was once in a while broken èêîòîé, he could be a hour. On person him(it), in that timeses èñõóäàëîì already and flaccid, blazed, exactly lighthouse, crimson nose and lay seal to drunk importance; for all that he remained on rarity collected, wholly controlled oneself and thought that is done around. Exceedingly seldom he got to full loss of the consciousness. And if his(its) hailled or çäîðîâàëèñü, in a flash glib was called back. Even police pertained to him favorably and on-ïðèÿòåëüñêè his(its) îïåêàëè. The Long experience and observation helped all rank to local police body in detail to study the signs Timova conditions. At a glance they could define, insofar exactly he got drunk, and if saw that he ïåðåøåë the limit and inevitable is ed somewhere on êðûëüöå or in ditch, immediately took the care about him on itself and warned not ill, but strictly: - A Subject if you will else loaf today on street, come you çàñàäèòü under lock. Podi-ka better home and sleep it off. In answer Subject cheerfully noded and immediately friendly agreed: - Certainly, sir, certainly. I and itself was going to, captain Kreyn, in this most minute. Here and now go home. Certainly, sir. Will Say so and small quick øàæêàìè glib äâèíåòñÿ through street, drolly scurrying glance that to the right, that to the left, and will finally escape round the corner. However minutes through fifteen he appeared newly, carefully stole in shade along sewer, stealthily, with cunning mine peered because of corner - not âèäàòü thereabouts guards of the law? The Years went, Subject all more changed in vagrant, and here is one his(its) áîãàòàÿ aunty, in hope that some occupation at least somewhat his(its) will correct, has returned in his(its) dictation abandoned lot on çàäâîðêàõ of the business quarter, in two steps from the Main of the street. Hereto time in city was scattered much cars, were needed legalized stop, and aunt has allowed Timu to contain on this her(its) area stop for machines, but receipts to take itself. On this field he has succeed over any waiting. Do here was an íå÷åãî, realy only sit on place that was given him without labour - was âäîâîëü whisky. In this time of his(its) lifes other pickers voice before choice of the local administrations tried çàðó÷èòüñÿ the voice Tima for its candidate, but nobody did not manage to hear, where he lives. Of course, he already several years not veins under one roof with anyone from native, and all quest his(its) constant æèëèùà remained vain. The People all more often asked: "Yes where Subject Uogner lives? Where he íî÷óåò?" And nobody nothing could not reconnoitre. But when nagged with questions to most Timu, he finished the quibble. But once upon a time all were ed. The Car fell into áûò so firmly that even decedent on graveyard carried on àâòîêàòàôàëêå. The Timeses to quailled, çàïðÿæåííûõ horse, passed forever. And one funereal agency has offered Timu gratis old quail, only he their has withdrewed, ÷òîá did not occupy the place. The Subject has taken the sinister gift and has conducted on its stop. Once upon a time, when he was somewhere separated, again were a pickers, they still persisted in desire to hear his(its) address and çàðó÷èòüñÿ the spare voice on choice. On eye they ïîïàëèñü old quail, tightly çàäåðíóòûå mourning çàíàâåñêè did not give to peek inside van, and stranger became curiously enough. They have carefully opened the door. Inwardly stood the berth. And even chair. This was surrounded, as as one should, small, but wholly acceptable bedroom. The Ithaca, secret was finally reveal;open. Hereafter, the whole city knew, where lives the Subject Uogner. Such George knew Tima Uognera fifteen years back. Thereafter Subject all indivertible took to drink, straight on eye lost the human look and in has recently gained the habits an çàïðàâñêîãî courtier of the buffoon. All this was all known, and however - it is difficult to believe! - now Subject Uogner became the high entailment covered city of the inconceivable madness. As player on screwy whimsy entrusts its condition a stranger with "lucky" colour hair, puts him their own money and implores to put(deliver) on card, as ardent ëîøàäíèê on horse race hurry äîòðîíóòüñÿ before hunch of the cripple, faith that this brings the good luck, so inhabitants Libiya-faded of prayer caughted now each word Tima Uognera. Not asking permission him(it), did not conclude nor one deals and immediately acted on his(its) help. He became - nobody did not know, either as why - a sovereign æðåöîì and prophet covered whole city of the madness wastfulness. All knew that he sick, êîí÷åíûé person that reason him(it) now ïîìðà÷åí alcohol constantly, and, however, addressed to him, as no time people addressed to magic vine that she has prompted, where dig the pit. To he heed, as no time heed in Russia to rustic äóðà÷êàì. Headlong, unconditionally believed that he possesses the certain mysterious scent and therefore his(its) judgements infallible. Here is this personality, feasible drunk greatness and stupid foppery, and âûëåçëà presently from machine behind George Uebbera a little and Sema Pennoka. Sem greedily, impatiently turned to him, short threw George: - Obozhdi minute! I it is necessary cue about than talk with Woven Uognerom! Obozhdi, I presently return! George agaze looked at them. The Subject Uogner, still with bored careless type removing gloves, slowly moved to door of the drugstore Poppy-Kormaka, he rested in walking stick and already did not trip, what could be, quick small øàæêàìè, - but Sem, be running at ïîëøàãà behind, with type imploring and obsequious, hoarsely poured the questions: - A Ground in West Libii... Seventy five thousand dollars... The Answer it is necessary to give tomorrow at noon... The Area Joe Ingrema just on my... But he sells does not want... Dozhidaetsya while will give one hundred fifty... My ground is located better... But Fred Baynem speaks - too far from freeway... As on-òâîåìó, Subject?.. The Deal cost(stand)s that? Overtaken this flow of the words, Subject even heads has not turned, nor reek has not ed on suppliant. It Is Woke;waked nothing and did not hear. Suddenly he stopped, put the gloves in pocket, has thrown on parties several quick cunning glances and ñêðþ÷åííûìè finger began became enraged itch. Was it Afterwards rectified, exactly having awakened from çàáûòüÿ, and as if has for the first time noticed beside Sema. - What is a? That you speak, Sem? - has quickly asked on. - How much you for this give? Not sell, not sell! - with sudden vehemence has said on. - Presently not to sell it is necessary, but buy. The Prices grow. buy! buy! Not to yield to. Not sell. Here is you my advice! - I shall not sell, Subject, - in emotion was called back Sem. - I think to buy. - Well yes, yes-yes, - quickly çàáîðìîòàë Tim. - Understandable, ponyatno. - He was for the first time turned and has attentively looked at sobesednika. - Where this, speak? - has sharply asked he. - In Old boron? Well! Well! The Deal faithfull! buy! buy! He çàøàãàë in drugstore, and çåâàêè-habitue respectful avoided, giving him to pass. Sem beside oneself ed the âäîãîíêó, has grasped him(it) for hand and çàêðè÷àë: - No, no, Subject! This not in Old boron! Quite in the other party... I zh you spoke... West Libiya! - What is a? - has sharply ed Tim. - West Libiya? What zh you immediately has not said? This is other talk. buy! buy! The Deal faithfull! The Whole city grows in that direction. Through ïîëãîäà price double. How much ask? - Seventy five thousand, - choking with emotions, âûãîâîðèë Sem. - an Answer it is necessary to give tomorrow... The Consent for five years. - buy! buy! - an ðÿâêíóë Subject and escaped in drugstore. Sem greater step returned to George, eye his(its) sparkled excitation. - Heard? Heard that speaks? - has hoarsely asked on. - You all heard, yes?.. Shucks, the best connoisseur to premises light not âèäàë... He else nor reek not to mistaken, who want the demand... "buy, - Govorit. - buy! Through ïîëãîäà price double!.." You zh here stood, - has hoarsely said he, as if accusing, and ferocious was crowded on George, - you itself heard that he has said, faithfully? - Well, heard. Sem was wildly looked over around, several times in a row has worrisome conducted the hand on hair, gravely âçäîõíóë and in perplexity has swung the head. - Seventy five thousand âûãàäàòü on one deal!.. Never nothing like did not hear!.. The Gentlemen gosh! - an âîñêëèêíóë on. - Something will further? Some image spread the rumour that George has written the book and soon she will is typed. About this heard the publisher of the local newspaper and has sent the reporter to take beside George interview. - So you have written the book? - has asked reporter. - That this for book? About than? - Yes I... I... the right, do not know, as you to say, - stammerring, has answered Dzhordzh. -... this novel... - A Novel from life of the South? And he is somehow connected with çäåøíèìè edge? - Well... well yes... that is to say... exactly about South... about one family in Old Ketoube... but... YOUNG SOUTHERNER WRITES NOVEL About OLD SOUTH "George Uebber, son calm John Uebbera and nephew Mark Dzhoynera, local merchant ñêîáÿíûìè product, has written the novel on motive of the lifes Libiya-faded, which will is published by autumn in NEW YORK publishers "James Kinsfolks and Ko". Last night in conversation with corresponder young author has said that his(its) book draws the Old South, in the centre of the narrative - a history venerable family, settled in our edge before Civil war else. The Inhabitants Libiya-faded and his(its) vicinities will wait leaving the book with especial interest not only therefore that many are recalled author, who here was born and âûðîñ, but also therefore that this worrying time in past Old Ketouby äîíûíå did not yet occupy belonging to her rightfully honourable place in literary annals of our South". - For all we know, after departure from house you much travelled. Visitted in Europe, and not once? - Yes, this faithfully. - And as, on your glance, bear our edges a comparison with the other places, which you have ed? - Well... well... e-e... well certainly!.. I want to say - else as! That is to say... COMPARISON IN FAVOUR OF ZDESHNEGO PARADISES "Answerring request of the corresponder to compare our edges with the other places, where he visitted, recent inhabitant Libiya-faded declared: - Nor one country, which I have visitted, - but I travelled on England, Germany, Scotlands, Ireland, Wales, Norway, Danmark, Swedens, to say nothing of south to France, italian Riviere and Swiss Alps, - can be not compared on beauty with my home towns. - A Nature has presented us verily paradise cozy corner, - has said he vostorzhenno. - an Air, climate, landscape, water, beauty of the nature - all as if arranged to do our edge best revenge on light". - Do Not think you are once again settled here? - N-nu... yes, I about this was thinking of... but... see... HE is INTENDING to SETTLE HERE And BUILD ITSELF HOUSE "On question about that as his(its) plans for the future, writer has answered: - For many years my fondest daydream and longing was at one beautiful day to return home. Who once upon a time èçâåäàë êîëäîâñêóþ power of our mountains, not in power their forget. And therefore, I hope, íåäàëåê that hour, when I shall be able to return home for ever. - I feel, - pensive continued the writer, - that here, as nowhere in the other place, I îáðåòó inspiration, necessities to me for my work. The Simple logic prompts that visual, climatic, geographically and in all other relations of these place the most suitabling: exactly here, amongst these mountains, must appear the new modern Renaissance. Why, asks permission, years through ten our counties not to become the great artistic centre, which will attract the great people an art, admirer of the music and beauties with the whole light, as presently their attracts Zalicburg? The Holiday colour - here is first step, made in necessary direction. - Hereafter, - an äîêîí÷èë serious young writer, - I shall be all power to assist the achievement this great purpose and try to persuade all my friends - a man of letters and artist - be settled here and transform Libiya-hill in that, than he befits to be - in american Athens". - Intending you write else one book? - Yes... that is to say... hope... Inherently... - Do Not want anything about her to tell? - A Right, do not know... presently much it is difficult to say... - Well-well, sonny, do not scruple. We here all countrymans, people their own... Take, to example, Longfello. Here is who was a great writer. You Know that must has done the young person with your talent? Return here and do for these places that has done Longfello for New England... HE has CONCEIVED to WRITE SAGA of the NATIVE EDGE "On our insistent questions about plan of the further literary work young author has answered clear and frankly. - I want to return here, - has said he, - and perpetuate the life, history and bloom West Ketouby in serieses of the poetical legends, just as poet Longfello has perpetuated the life of the inhabitants to NOVA SCOTIA and public creative activity to New England. I have conceived the trilogy, which begin the appearance in these edge first colonizer, including my own limit, and will track the steady progress Libiya-faded from most his(its) basis and buildings of the first railway - and before present his(its) the most broad popularity, when he has conquered the proud name ZHemchuzhiny Mountains". George whole writhed and ðóãàòåëüñêè swore, reading this interview, in which was garbled all with begin before the end. He was an ashes and is embarrassed and in ditto time felt itself âèíîâàòûì. Finally he sowed;sown and wrote in newspaper biting letter, but having added - has torn. Finally that sense? The Reporter has entwined its tale, inherently, from nothing, from friendly interjection and gesture of its victim, from several fragmentary words, which George âûïàëèë in made embarrassment, but the main - from his(its) self-restraint, unwillingnesses to speak of future work; and, however, this jpurnalist obviously patriot before brain of the bones, therefore he and was able to cook such deft figment - and, probably, itself what should not understood that this figment. And afterwards, speculated George if he will begin with zest to refuse all statements, which him is prefixed, people only ñî÷òóò his(its) faultfinder, will think - has written the book and çàçíàëñÿ before impossibility. The Impression from such here is marks will not diffuse if simply all deny. Will Declare that all this âðàêè, but people will say, is woke;waked he hits upon home town, assailled on one, his(its) âçðàñòèë and âîñïèòàë. No uzh, from õóäà õóäà do not search for. The Ithaca, he kept silent. And strange deal hereon him beginning to seem that to he started to pertain otherwise. Not that to previously on he watched unfriendly. But now he felt - his(its) approve. And from one this appeared the calm satisfaction, as if people in âñåóñëûøàíèå his(its) have acknowledged. As any american, George is enamoured was in material success and now rejoiced to thoughts that in eye of the home town he rich man or, at least once, is found on verne of the way to wealth. In one he particularly ïîâåçëî. The Book his(its) has taken old and venerable publishers; the company this was all known, and, meeting George on street, people firmly shook him hand zh spoke: - Became to be, your book will leave beside James Kinsfolks and Companies? - Miraculously sounded this idle time a question, which high-hats, beforehand knowing answer. George was heard: his(its) not only felicitate on that that book will, is published, but imply else, what ïîâåçëî the venerable publishers that they have got such manuscript. Here is as this sounded - and, probably, in such sense and was spoken. Therefore-that beside George and appeared the sensation that in eye countryman he "its reached". He already not former strange small, which exasperates itself in deceptive hope, is woke;waked he - a fun to say! - a writer. Yes, he and âïðàâäó writer. And not some, but such writer, who here is-will here is print, and not somewhere, but in old-time and venerable publishers "James Kinsfolks and Ko". There is something very good in that, as people rejoice the success, yes and the whole - that this nor was, - that is noted a sign of the success. The Right, here no nothing evil. The People love the success since for majority he means happiness - and in what form he nor came, for them he - an entailment that, to that they at heart showers strove;strived themselves. In America this faithfully, as nowhere in the world. The People name the success an image the most fondest their own desires because happiness never ïðåäñòàâàëî before them nor in what other image. That is why on essences its this love to success - a feeling not at all evil, but, opposite, good. It causes in surrounding generous and noble response even though hereto response is sometimes mixed and share of the self-interest. The People rejoice the òâîåìó an ñ÷àñòüþ since him much want happiness and for itself. But became to be, this well. Anyway, in base lies something good. One trouble - a feeling these go in false direction. So, at least once, seemed George. He passed the time long, severe test - and here is has met approval. And from this was deeply ñ÷àñòëèâ. Cost(stand)s the burrage taste the success, and already nor to that hold âûçûâàþùå. George anymore was a bully, he already did not want a little that to climb in fight. For the first time he has felt, as well return home. Not that to beside it not at all was no misgivings. He knew that in its book has described the home town and his(its) inhabitants. And knew that wrote about them with such straightforwardness and frankness, what hitherto were rare in american literature. And he asked itself, somehow people this will take. And when his(its) felicitated on book, him don't care was awkwardly and he not without awe guessed - something they will say that will think, when book will leave and they her(its) will read. These misgivings with awesome power have streamed on it once upon a time in the night, when he suddenly appeared in the dreams íåîáû÷àéíî bright and terrible dream. He run, stumbling, on ed sun heath, in someone else edge sometime, run away, terror-stricken, itself not knowing that his(its) pursues. Knew only that his(its) tears apart unspeakable shame. The Feeling was anonimous and overbroad, as if óäóøëèâûé mist, but all essence George, heart and reason were compressed in unspeakable flour of the repulsion and contempts to itself. And so íåîáîðèìî was a feeling of the blame and loathings that he pleased was even with murderer, with that, on who îáðàùåí frantic anger of the whole world. He envied all villian, who mankind èñïîêîí ages stigmatized the dishonor: thief, liar, swindler, renegade and traitor - all, whose name is dedicated anathema and are pronounced with ïðîêëÿòüÿìè - but all are pronounced; èáî itself he has perpetrated a crime, for which no íàçâàíüÿ, he has disgraced itself foul, which it is impossible neither learn, nor èñöåëèòü, in him - a vilething such emotional rotted that his(its) already can not concern neither revenge, nor salvation, from it is distant and pity, and love, and hate, he íåäîñòîèí even curses. And here is he runs on enormous nacked abandoned lot under sultry sky, exile in the middle uninhabited piece of our planet, - in strange place, which, either as he itself, entailment of the disgrace, does not belong to neither alive, nor dead, and will not strike here lightning îòìùåíèÿ and does not óêðîåò the merciful grave; èáî before most horizon no neither shade, nor sanctum, neither united tubercle or ëîæáèíêè, nor hill, neither tree, nor glens, only one enormous intent eye, singing, impervious, from it nowhere to take cover, and it sinks the defenseless shower of the fugitive in inconceivable abysses of shame. But afterwards with sudden striking brightness all in VWVappear in the dreams was changed, and George found oneself amongst long ago familiar persons and pictures. He - a travellier, and after perennial wanderings returned in place, familiar from childhood. His(its) still oppressed the sinister feeling, is woke;waked shower his(its) corrodes terrible, but íåâåäîìàÿ canker, and, newly stepped on streets of the home town, he understood that returned to most its headwaters, to spring of the purity and health, and they his(its) èñöåëÿò. But, falling into city, he made sure that on he as before lies the stigma of the blame. He has seen the mans and womans, who knew from childhood, boy, with which went at one time in school, girl, which âîäèë on dance. All of these occupied were each their own deals on service or building, and is immediately seen was that between itself they friends, but cost him to approach and salutatory to stretch the hand - and they turned to him glass eye, their glances did not express neither ëþáâè, nor hate, neither pity, nor repulsions, exactly nothing. The Persons, in which while these people talked between itself, was so much friendlinesses and amiability, address to him, at once petrified; nor united glimpse, on which possible understand that his(its) have heard that him pleased; he answered staccato, solid, answered his(its) questions, but all his(its) attempts to renew áûëóþ friendship were split about destroying silence and indifferent sightless glance. They did not laugh, when he went by, did not make fun of, did not nudge each other ëîêòÿìè and did not whisper to each other, - only kept quiet and waited, as if they had a single desire - more his(its) not to see. He went on well familiar street, along houses, such by blood close him, as if he never them and did not abandon, past people, which fell silent and waited that he escaped from type, - and in shower all fixed the consciousness of the anonimous blame. He knew that is deleted from their lifes irrevocable, than if moderate;temper, and felt - hereafter for people he does not exist. Soon he came out of city and again turned out to be on singed sun heath and newly run on her under pitiless sky, in which blazed the intent eye, piercing his(its) feeling of unspeakable heavy shame. 8. HER(ITS) MAJESTY COMPANY Settled in êîìíàòêå on garage SHeppertonov, George considered itself lucky person. Besides he was very pleased that mister Merrit has arrived earlier and has got in its dictation where more suitable guest room, èáî under the first meeting he with pleasure has felt coming from Devida Merrita heat merry äîáðîæåëàòåëüñòâà. This was flowering, well-fed and well-groomed man of the years forty five, always ready ïîøóòèòü and inexhaustible kind, pockets his(its) stuffed were an excellent cigar, which he generously regaled under any suitable event. Rendi named his(its) accredited to Companies, and though George notions had not, what duties are entrusted on accredited to Companies, but, ãëÿäÿ on mister Merrita, it is impossible was not to think that they more pleasing. George knew, certainly that Merrit - a chief Rendi and, as it was realized, arrives in Libiya-hill each two-three months. He appears such good-natured rosy-cheek Santa-Klausom, ñûïëåò merry øóòî÷êàìè, will distribute the òîëñòûå cigars, embraces the collocutor for shoulder, - a word, under him mood increases beside all. Itself Merrit has said so: - I am obliged to drop in now and then, only ÷òîá check, well boys itself conduct and do not get âïðîñàê. Here he so drolly ïîäìèãíóë George that all of these against the will çàóëûáàëèñü. And has offered him washed cigar. The Problem him(it), see, was concluded in representation. He constantly âîäèë Rendi and the other commercial agents to Companies to lunch and eat, in office peeked from close up, on advantage, seemed, occupied was that that spread around good-nature and prosperity. Paced on city, with all çàãîâàðèâàë, slammed on back, named simply by name - and when left from Libiya-faded, local business man else since week smoked his(its) cigars. Arriving in city, he invariably stopped "beside their own", and all knew that Margaret will become to prepare for it best guard;keep and good wine will appear in house. The Wine mister Merrit delivered personally, he invariably brought solid spare road drink with itself. George with the first meeting has seen that Merrit - from sort "good small", from it so and winnowed the äîáðîæåëàòåëüñòâîì, and that's why there was doubly pleasantly that he stopped beside SHeppertonov. But Devid Merrit was not only glorious small. He was else and representative to Companies - and George has quickly understood that Company the most most important and mysterious driving power in lifes of all inhabitants of the city. Rendi has entered there on service as soon as has finished the college. His(its) have sent in main office, on North somewhere, and there he passed the curriculum. Afterwards he returned on South and here, having begun by unexceptional travelling salesman, äîñëóæèëñÿ before district agent, but became to be, ed far from last person in trade system. "Company", "district agent", "trade system" - all this sounded enigmatic, but very solidly. In that week that George has conducted in Libiya-õèëëå beside Rendi and Margaret, mister Merrit, as a rule, was shown to all food, but on evening ñèæèâàë with them on verandah and, on its îáûêíîâåíèþ, merrily jested, laughed and in general all entertained. Once in a while he interpreted with Rendi about deal, told the events from life of the Companies, from own practical persons, and soon George began enough clear visualize that this for organization. The Federal Company of the Measures, Weight and Adding machines was an extensive empire, at first thought exceedingly complex, but essentially ïîêîðÿþùå idle time. Her(its) soul and body - possible say, most life her(its) - was concluded in trade system. The Whole country was divided into neighborhood, and in each county was fixed agent. He, in turn, hired the travelling salesman, which were entrusted separate parts neighborhood. In each county èìåëèñü also "êîíòîðùèê", obliged to concern with any deals, what can appear while agent and subordinated him travelling salesmans in absence, and "technician", whose duty - set in order faulty and broken mechanisms. All together these employees formed the agency, and country divided on neighborhood by thereby that at the average on each ïîëìèëëèîíà populations happened to on agency. Other word, in country numbered around two hundred seventy agencies, and district agents together with ïîäíà÷àëüíûìè him travelling salesman formed the army in one and a half thousand of people nearly. The Long-run objectives this industrial empire, which her(its) serving hardly someday named the full name (who will become so crudely-familiar refer to as the deity!), but, a little noticeably lowerring voice, pronounced simply "Company", - a long-run objectives her(its) too turned out to be ïîêîðÿþùå forgive;pardon. Their has voiced in its famous appearance Great Person itself - mister Poul S.EPPLTON Third, and invariably repeated this half-hour speech each year before all member of the trade system, when they were going to with the whole country on united counsel. Under the end this annual convention he emerged before collected, broad imperious, splendid flap of the hand pointed to enormous UNITED STATES card, which coverlets whole wall for his(its) back, and spoke so: - Here is he, your market! Go and sell! That can be more simply and ïðåêðàñíåå? Possible eloquent to express powerful âçëåò imaginations, which was perpetuated in annals of the modern business life under name "ïðîçðåíèÿ"? The Wordses this inherent all-embracing incidence and severe straightforwardness, what differed the speech of the great people in all history epoches. So Napoleon addressed to its troops in Egypt: "Soldiers, fourty ages look at you with tops of these pyramids". So spoke the captain Perri: "We have met the enemy - and he our". So has said Diyui in Maniliskom bay: "Can shoot as soon as you will get ready, Gridli". So has said Grant before courthouse in Spotsilivanii: "I intending to defend their own positions even though come to spend on so much for summer". And when mister Poul S.EPPLTON Third wave of the hand pointed to wall and spoke: "Here is he, your market! Go and sell!" - collected in common-room captains, lieutenants and ordinary his(its) trade system understood that does not ïåðåâåëèñü on light èñïîëèíû else and age romantics did not pass. The Truth, in long ago past timeses of the surge to Companies were several îãðàíè÷åííåå. In that time her(its) founder, äåäóøêà mister Poula S.EPPLTONA, has expressed their own modest hopes such word: "I should like to see one of their own machines in each commissary, shop and institution, which she needs and which able for it to pay". But self-denial and ñàìîîãðàíè÷åíèå, been drafty in these word of the founder to Companies, have very long ago grown old and, right, approached realy that to medium of the reign of the queen to Victoria. This acknowledged itself Devid Merrit. How nor little were he is biased uncomplimentary be called back about lump that nor was, but more so - about founder of the Companies, he have to was confess that on yardstick 1929 oldster came short ïðîçðåíèÿ. - Has So much for died out its age, - has said mister Merrit, has swung the head and ïîäìèãíóë George, as if wanted the fun to soften its treason a founder firmy. - We too far from this has left! - an âîñêëèêíóë he with pardonable gordostiyu. - No if at our time to wait the buyer, who and âïðàâäó need our machines, remain nor with chem. - Now he ïîêèâàë Rendi and has spoke seriously, with strong beliefses: - We do not wait that buyer and âïðàâäó became needs our goods. If he speaks that he and so fine dispenses, we don't care force his(its) buy. We force his(its) understand that our goods he needs, faithfully, Rendi? In other words, we create this need themselves. What was obvious from the further explanations Merrita, all this has got the technical name "creative trade" or "creation market". And this idea, feasible poetry, has generated the inspiration of one person - nor more and nor less, as present chapters to Companies, most Poula S.EPPLTONA Third. The Grandiose çàìûñåë to appeared beside it in wink of the lighting up, in all briliance immediately and fullness, what arose the Athens a Palladium out of head Zeus, and Merrit hitherto so vividly remembers this event, as if it happened only yesterday. There was this on one of the extended counsels serving Companies: mister Apleton, enthusiastic great ïðîçðåíèÿìè, high bring in passion of the oratory - and suddenly fell silent on ïîëóñëîâå and stood as çàâîðîæåííûé, dreamy çàãëÿäåâøèñü in unbeknownst give magic country îáåòîâàííîé; when he has finally spoken, in voice his(its) was heard tremor of the exceeding emotion. - A Friends my, - has said he, - a possibility market now that we, as his(its) create, practically inexhaustible! - Here he for minute çàìîë÷àë; Merrit assures even that Great Person has turned pale and nigh only çàøàòàëñÿ, trying newly speak, and voice his(its) dropped to ate the heard whisper, as if he and itself is devastated was a grandeur its idei. - a Friends my, - with effort has mumbled he and in quest of full tilts caught on to tribune, - a friends my... if judge sane... (the voice his(its) dropped to whisper, and he îáëèçíóë the parched lips) if judge sane... under that, what market we could create... (here voice his(its) grew strong, and here is ðàçäàëñÿ the conscript call!) why our machine does not îáçàâåñòèñü all without exception to UNITED STATES people - a man, woman and äåòÿì? - And then - a familiar broad flap of the hand aside cards: - Here is he, your market! Go and sell! From that hour ïðîçðåíèå became to cornerstones, on which Poul S.EPPLTON to erected the splendid building true öåðêâè and alive faith, referred to as "Company". And to serve this ïðîçðåíèþ, mister Apleton has built the organization, which worked with beautiful accuracy ïàðîâîçíîãî lever. On travelling salesman stood the agent, on agent - a district comptroller, on comptroller - a director of the district branch, on director of the district branch - a general director, but on general director - unless gentlemen god itself, that nearest and the most faithfull his(its) resemblance, that, who travelling salesmans and agents with due respect referred to as P.S.E. Mister Apleton èçîáðåë for Company and own paradise the known under name of the Club One hundred. The First member of the Club was itself P.S.E., but election could be awarded each member of the trade system, up to the last travelling salesman. The Club One hundred was an organization public, but this deal nowhere near was not limited. Each agent and travelling salesman were defined "quota" - other word, review on its county and its possibility, he was to conclude at the average such-that amount of the deals. The Quota each depended on amounts his(its) neighborhood, from that, insofar this county rich, as well as from that, insofar experienced and capable employee itself. One was to sell sixty machines, other eighty, the third ninety or one hundred, quota of the district agent was above, than beside ordinary travelling salesman. But each, howsoever was small or great his(its) quota, could be elected in Club One hundred under one term: that its quota he executed completely, on all one hundred percents. If he will execute more - shall say, one hundred twenty percents, - his(its) wait to honours and awards not only moral, but also money. In Club One hundred too possible was occupy the position high or low, èáî here degrees value was not less, than in masonic bed. The Measure of the quota was considered "item" that is to say contracts for the total amount fourty dollars. Signifies if quota of the travelling salesman formed eighty, he is obliged was each month to sell the product to Federal Company of the Measures, Weight and Adding machines on 3200 dollars to say the least, in other words, nearly on fourty thousand per annum. Remunerated for this generously. The Travelling salesman got fifteen, but that and twenty percents of the brockerage, agent - from twenty before twenty five percents. Besides, executing quota, but more so exceeding her(it), employee got the bonus. Thereby, ordinary travelling salesman at the average county could earn from poles before eight thousand per annum, agent - from twelve before fifteen, but if county they were got particularly ingenious, that and more. Such a were an awards in Rayu mister Apleton. But that Paradise if no Hell? And logic of the things has compelled mister Apleton èçîáðåñòè also Hell. Once upon a time having installed for serving determined quota, Company never already her(its) did not reduce. What is more if quota of the travelling salesman formed eighty items and the whole year he her(its) executed, he was to prepare to that that the following year quota he will raise before ninety. Happened to incessantly to forge ahead and above, and in this racing respite did not give. The Truth, membership in Club One hundred was not forced; however Poul S.EPPLTON Third, like Kalivinu, as theologian fine understood, what combine the free will and predetermination. Therefor, who did not belong to to Club One hundred, not far was time, when he ceased to belong to to Companies of mister Apleton. À for travelling salesman or agent this was don't care that completely to turn out to be for board of the lifes. If person did not take on service in Company or if his(its) from there fired, friends and familiar began be carefully notified: "But where now Joe Klatc?" The Answers could be the most vague, and gradually about Joe Klatce completely ceased to mention. And here is he already dripped in abyss of the oblivion. After all he "anymore serves in Companies". Poula S.EPPLTONA Third for the whole his(its) life has shaded only one-single lighting up - that most, which so worrying paint æèâîïèñàë mister Merrit, - but this was enough, and he already did not give opened him brilliant temptation to fade. Four times per annum, at the beginning initially each quarter, he called to itself general director and spoke: - That occurs, Elmer? The Deal beside you do not move! Here is market before you! Themselves know, as it is necessary to act, rather then that... Whereupon general director one for other caused the directors district branch and was explained with them in the same expressions and in the same manner, as P.S.E. - with him, but then director district branch played same ñöåíêó before district comptroller, that - before agent, agents - before travelling salesman, but that since beside them already no subordinated was not, remained only "to act yes to turn round, rather then that...". All this was identified "to support the spirit of the system". When Devid Merrit, sitting on verandah, told the different events from its extensive practical persons on service in Companies, George Uebber caught much more, than allegorized the word. Merrit all spoke, spoke, he got drunk recollection, poured the øóòî÷êàìè, óáëàãîòâîðåíèå puffed on the expensive cigar, for all this clear sounded: "As this beautifully - serve our Companies!" He has told, to example, about remarkable holiday: once a year Club One hundred collects all their own members on so named Week of the plays. This luxurious annual picnic settles down "to account of the Companies". Meeting is fixed in Philadelphias, in Washington, but that and amongst tropical splendour Los-Andzhelesa or Miami or on board deliberately for this event çàôðàõòîâàííîãî ship, on íåáîëüøîì, but luxurious steamship âîäîèçìåùåíèåì in twenty thousand tons, making òðàíñàòëàíòè÷åñêèå flights to Bermudskim island or in Havana. Wherever this nor occurred, Club One hundred gets get fat liberty. If settles down the walk on epidemic deathes, the whole nave enters absolutely in dictation of the members of the club - for safe week. To their service all drink on light, how much him under power to drink, and all coral island Bermuda, and all çàïðåòíûå to charmings merry Havana. For this week they are given all on light that only possible to buy for money, all are done with range, on the most broad leg, and Company - immortal, paternalistic careful, generous Company - "pays for all". But while mister Merrit æèâîïèñàë bright picture luxury and amusements, George Uebberu introduced something quite other. He visualized the thousand two hundred or one and a half thousand of mans (èáî to this journey, by common consent of, women(woman) - or, at least once, wife - were not allowed), - all these american, in majority already not young, earned, run-down, èçäåðãàííûõ before limit, which meet with all end of the country to "to account of the Companies" conduct one short, screwy week in dick and vulgar orgy. And George sullen thought about that, what place these tragic plays of the businessmen occupy in all order of the things, about that, as it is made world, all this generated. But at the same time he began to understand and change, which have occurred for these years in Rendi. At the last weekday, which George has conducted in Libiya-õèëëå, he will go on station to take the return ticket, but afterwards, around hour, has peeked in office to Rendi to together go home eat. The First premises - a common-room, where on stand nut tree amazed the buyer a set all the manner of metallic sparkling weight and adding machines, was start;put, and George has solved to wait. On one wall hunged the enormous colorful announcement: "August was a best month in histories of the Federal Company, - stated it, - LET SEPTEMBER WILL STILL BETTER! Here is he, your market, dear agent. Rest depends on you". For trading rooms îòãîðîæåí were çàêóòîê, which served Rendi cabinet. George sat and waited, and gradually before his(its) consciousnesses have begun to reach äîíîñÿùèåñÿ because of partiton enigmatic sounds. First rustled the paper sheets, as if someone flipped through the enormous accounting book, was once in a while heard short indistinct áîðìîòàíüå, voice sounded that confidential, that sinister, äîíîñèëîñü the quacking, muted cheers. And suddenly - two loud blows, as if heavy ledger has slammed and have chucked on table or small office, and after short silence of the voice become louder, ÿñíåå, well-marked. George has heard the voice Rendi - low, serious, halfhearted, deeply astir. The Other voice he heard for the first time. But when he ïðèñëóøàëñÿ hereto second voice, his(its) çàòðÿñëî and the whole blood surged back from cheeks. Heinous, killing insult whole human sounded this voice, mean jeer whipped he on person human value, and when George has understood that this voice and these word beat on his(its) friend, in he has flashed up frantic, blinding thirst murder. But the whole alarm and unexplained was that in voice of the unbeknownst devil sounded and strange familiar notes, as if spoke someone, who George knew. And suddenly his(its) îçàðèëî: this Merrit! It is Difficult to believe, but this speaks well-groomed, good-natured with type òîëñòÿê, which under George invariably could be so âåñåë, so ïðèâåòëèâ and is fine adjusted. But presently for partiton dull glass and polished tree in voice of this person suddenly çàçâó÷àëà devilish cruelty. This was inconceivable, and George became nauseating, is woke;waked in heavy nightmare, when you appear in the dreams that someone, who so well know, makes something vile, heinous. But the whole terrible was a voice Rendi - meek, calm, obedient, nigh only flattering, imploring. The Voice Merrita cut the air, exactly poisonous sputum, but in answer once in a while sounded the voice Rendi - meek, halfhearted, deeply astir. - Well, what is wrong? You do not cherish its revenge? - That you, Deyv... else as cherish... know themselves... ha-ha, - has finished Rendi alarm, afraid chuckle. - So what is wrong? Why bad trade? - That you... ha-ha... - Again embarrassed and afraid chuckle. - I thought, not so uzh bad... - Mistaken! - A Poisonous voice ðåçíóë, as nozhom. - On your county must be on thirty percents more deals, than you have concluded, and Company intending their get, rather then that... Sell or ride on all four parties! Understandable? The Companies on you to spit! She important profit! You are an old employee, but Companies one devil that you that another! And you known, as beside us enter with all, who painfully much about itself âîçîìíèë, - understandable? - D-da, certainly, Deyv... but... ha-ha... but, honored word, I at all did not think... - Spit me that you there thought! - has broken rough golos. - I have warned you! Trade what follows or âûìåòàéòåñü! The Door dull flow with crackle ðàñïàõíóëàñü, and from îòãîðîæåííîãî êàáèíåòèêà greater step left Merrit. At type George he was taken aback. It However was immediately transformed. The Plump rosy person his(its) broke into a smile, and he mellow çàêðè÷àë: - Here is so so! , Who came! Our old friend in person! He turned to Rendi, which went for him right behind, and ïðåâåñåëî him ïîäìèãíóë, as if playing some jocular íåìóþ ñöåíêó. - Rendi, - has said he, - in my opinion, our êðàñàâ÷èê George with each daytime becomes irresistible. Much hearts he has already split? Rendi vain tried èçîáðàçèòü on turned grey, tormented a person smile. - Am Beaten about pawn, in glorious city NEW YORK you nor one äåâ÷îíêè miss? - continued Merrit, newly turning round to Dzhordzhu. - And see here, I read in newspaper about your book. Splendid, sonny! We all you are proud of! He has slammed George on back, evil was turned, has taken its hat and has said cheerfully: - Well, ðåáÿòêè? What about that to leave to nice home centre and be supported outstanding ñòðÿïíåé of the old woman Margaret? I, know, person not proud. If you ready, I not to refuse. Will Go. And âðàçâàëî÷êó left - smiling, rosy, plump, merry, false entailment áëàãîæåëàòåëüñòâà, turned to the whole light. Since minute old friends, pale, bewildered, stood and silently, îøàðàøåííî watched the friend on friend. In eye Rendi was else and shame. And here and now, by nature deeply faithfull and dedicated, he was entered for Merrita: - Deyv glorious small... Understand, he... he simply can not otherwise... After all he... he is a representative to Companies. George has not answered. Under these word Rendi he was recalled all that told Merrit about Companies, and suddenly before his(its) imaginative âçîðîì ìåëüêíóëà terrible picture, which he saw at one time in some gallery. On linen èçîáðàæåíà was a long âåðåíèöà of the people that stretched from Great pyramid up to doors majestic ôàðàîíîâà palace, - here stood great pharaoh itself and ruthlessly whipped the belt whip on denuded to back and shoulder confronted by him person; that was a main taskmaster of the great pharaoh, in hand he kept ìíîãîõâîñòóþ lash and with range lowered her(it) on quivering back wretch, which was a first assistant main taskmaster, but the first assistant èçî whole power whipped the rawhide whip cringed before him senior proctor, which, in turn, ferocious beat the öåïîì a heap meanderring from pain handyman, but each handyman showerred the blow of the knotted lash mellow hundred slave, which, having bent in three dooms, âòàñêèâàëè, pulled, âîëîêëè its burden and, pouring with water over afterwards, dislodging from power, erected the âûñî÷åííóþ pyramid. And George has not answered. He could not âûìîëâèòü nor word. He was opened in lifes something such, about than he previously and did not suspect. 9. CITY LOST Later in this day George has asked Margaret to go with him on graveyard, she has taken the machine Rendi, sowed;sown for rudder, and they have gone. On way stopped beside florist's shop, have bought the chrysanthemums, and George has placed them on grave of the aunts Mey. The Whole week poured the rain, and ñâåæåíàñûïàííûé hillock has haved time to the inch on two settle, but on êðàþ his(its) dribbled óãëàñòàÿ rift. In that minute, as George placed the flowerses on goal, mashed ground, he was suddenly struck - not strange this! He after all not a bit not sentimental, with what he âçäóìàëîñü? He and did not be going to nothing such does. Simply saw on road shop window florist's shop, mechanical has asked Margaret to stop, bought these most chrysanthemums - and here is they lie. But afterwards he has understood, why this has done, why in general he wanted once again to visit on graveyard. He so often dreamed to return home, but this trip in Libiya-hill left quite not such, as he waited, - turned out to be, this last meeting, this - a farewell. It Was Torn off last thread, which linked him(it) with native places, and he leaves to, as as one should man, build its life own power. And here is once again here thicken the twilight, but adown, in valley, one for other flash up the town lights. George stood and watched, and Margaret, seems, understood that beside it on shower, - she quietly stood beside and did not speak nor word. But afterwards George itself low has spoken. Must he was whomever to voice all that has reconsidered and has experienced for this week. Rendi was quite twisted with deals, remained to talk with Margaret. He told about its book and about in accordance with her hope, tried to explain that this for book and as he is afraid that Libiya-õèëëó she come not on taste. Margaret listened not breaking. She only reassuring has compressed his(its) hand ïîâûøå ëîêòÿ, and this was eloquent any words. He nor sound uttered about scene between Rendi and Merritom. Nor to that earlier time her(its) alarm, what sense to deprive her(its) confidence in çàâòðàøíåì day, without which for women(woman) impossible quietness and happiness. Dovleet äíåâè malice him(it)... But he much interpreted about most Libiya-õèëëå, about that, what has struck his(its) general madness on gamble. That to become with this maddened ãîðîäèøêîé and with his(its) inhabitant? All harden about the best future, about that, what they here ñîçäàäóò splendid, prosperous city, but him, George, seems that people drives some wild, frantic hunger, some incomprehensible despair, as if indeed they crave only ravagings and ruins. He even seems - they already perished, and even when are dared, rave yells, slam each other on back, at heart showers themselves understand that perished. They ðàçáàçàðèëè the quick money on nobody not necessary streets and bridges. Have Carried the old-time buildings and erected the new enormous buildings greater city become under with population in ïîëìèëëèîíà person. Have Evenned with the ground hills, penetrated the mountains splendid tunnel, where are laid double rail ways, but wall sparkle the excellent ceramic bar, and tunnels these conduct straight in paradise deserts. The United stroke has squandered all that have earned and have saved up for safe life, mortgaged already and that belongs to the following generation. They have ruined its city, but hereunder and itself, and their own äåòåé and grandson. Libiya-hill they already do not belong to. They here anymore õîçÿåâà. He mortgaged and ïåðåçàëîæåí, on him fifty million dollars debt on loan, which ëèáèÿõèëëöàì has given the credit society of the North. The Streets, on which go the inhabitants of the city, and that are already sold - beside them from beneath legs. The Persons bonds to pay monstrous, fabled amount, but will the next day resell its ground other madman, and that in its turn with such majestic carelessness puts its life on card. On paper their profits enormous, but "boom" already ended, but they close on this eye. They rock under gravity of the obligations, pay which nobody of them not under power, and all continue to buy. Exhausted all possibility of the destruction and wastfulness, what gave him home town, they ed in his(its) unsettled vicinities, in poetical íåîáúÿòíîñòü virginal grounds, which could be enough on all mankind, and çàñòîëáèëè ïîëÿíêè and êëèíûøêè amongst hills, - with such success possible to enclose the stake an area in the middle ocean. They gave the fruit to its absurd whimsy of the sonorous name: "Wild stone", "Shady cozy corner", "Aquiline jack". On these scrap wood, the field and íåïðîëàçíîãî of the shrubbery they installed the price, for which possible was buy the safe mountain, and formed the cards and advertising posters, expressing come alive quarters, shops, building, streets, roads, clubs where indeed was not neither roads, nor streets, nor united building and where could get only troop to feasible determinations, armed axe ïåðâîïðîõîäöåâ. These place behooved to transform in idyllic settlings artist, writers and critic; appeared also settlings ñâÿùåííîñëóæèòåëåé, âðà÷åé, actor, dancer, player in golf and gone on quietness ïàðîâîçíûõ machinist. Here could be settled all and each, but main, the ëèáèÿõèëëöû sold these area... to each other! But as nor zealously they tried, as nor climbed from skin halitosis, already became obviously that efforts their vain, but life - scanty and half-starved. The Creation best future, about which they reasoned, degenerated in several stupid and futile attempts. They only that and reached that built more ugly and more expensive buildings, have bought the new cars were yes sealled member of the country club. And all this in febrile hurry since (so seemed George) all of these searched for, than slake ãðûçóùèé their hunger - and did not find. So he stood on hill, watched, as adown in ãóñòåþùèõ twilight by long rows of the still lights stand out the streets, but creeping firefly - a flows of the cars, and recalled the deserted night streets of this borough, so well familiar him in time his(its) childhood. Hopeless dejection, around nor showers, - such, as if âûææåííûé by acerbic acid, remained their look in his(its) memories. Nacked, îáåçëþäåâøèå already to ten evenings, they were painfilly monotonous, anguish took from cutting eye of the torches and empty sidewalk, from this jelled torpors, which only once in a while broke the steps casual passer-by - some frantic, èçãîëîäàâøèéñÿ, solitary áåäîëàãà, contrary to hopelessness and disbelief, prowlled in hope to find in the middle this deserts although some refuge, heat and tenderness, waited - is suddenly opened magic door and will open unbeknownst, bright and generous life. Much their was such, but never they did not find that that searched for. And they died in darkness, not open for itself neither purposes, nor sense, nor door... Here is that's why-that all and has occurred, was thought George. So this and happened. Yes, exactly there - in uncountable, long ago past, âûìàòûâàþùèå shower to nights in a thousand such ãîðîäèøåê, on a million of deserted streets, whence on fields of the darkness are breaked in ãóëêèì beating the pulse to all passions, hopes and àë÷áà èçãîëîäàâøèõñÿ people, - there, only there and âûçðåâàëî all this madness. And, recalling gloomy, áåçëþäíûå night streets, what he their saw fifteen years back, he has newly thought about Judge Ramforda Blenda - as that lonesome, worrisome wandered on sleeping city, as well introduce;make familiar with was him - a boy - this wanderring shade and what terror his(its) pierced. Be can, this and there is key, solving to whole tragedies. Be can, Ramford Blend tried to live in mirk of the nights not that's why that in he escaped cruel evil begin (though ill in him, certainly, hid), but that's why that has not yet died in him begin good. There was in this person something such that always rebelled against îòóïëÿþùåãî godforsaken existence, full prejudice, with eternal looking back, self-complacent, futile and joyless. In nights he searched for what-that best - a shelter, where there is heat and friendliness, minutes to dark mystery, thrill inevitable and unbeknownst adventures, agitating hunts, persecutions, be can, spume and then - a performances of the desires. Really in this ñëåïîì of the person, whose life all fabled entailment shamelessness became on marvel, hid no time emotional heat and emotional power that spurred his(its) serve this cool city, pushed on quest of the joys and beauties, which here was not, which veins only in him one? Be can, just this him(it) and has ruined? Be can, and he - from lost, lost person only therefore that lost was city itself - here grants his(its) were rejected, power not to that was enclose, was not sewn on deal on shoulder... since his(its) hope, reason, inquisitivenesses and emotional fervour here was not sewn on using and all disappear âòóíå? Yes, that, than possible was explain the sorry state of the whole city, explained and Judge Ramforda Blenda. As this he has said then in train: "On-òâîåìó, you ìîæåøü to return home?" - and else: "do Not forget, I tried you to forewarn". Became to be, here is that he wanted to say? If so, now George his(its) understands. On all this thought and spoke George in warm, äðåìîòíîé, lazy silence graveyard. Finally ïîïèñêèâàëè before ñíîì çàðÿíêè, something whistled in bush, woke;waked pools sewed the foliage, from afar wind äîíîñèë scrap sound - someone's voice, shout of the boy, dog bark, ïîçâÿêèâàíüå êîðîâüåãî of the campanula. Intoxicated the mixture a scent - a resinous spirit of the pine, áëàãîóõàíüå rubbed and warmed up sun of the sweet dutch clover. All - in accuracy, as was always. But city his(its) childhood with calm small street and old house, which nearly and is not seen was under thick canopy âåòâèñòûõ tree, changed before íåóçíàâàåìîñòè - èçðóáöîâàííûé yelling clout of the light concrete, äûáÿùèéñÿ awkward ãëûáàìè of the new buildings. He resemble(go)ed now on èçðûòîå crater field battles; exactly âñêèíóòûå breakup projectile, frantically rose skyward brick, cement and cutting eye fresh plaster. And only here and there remainder of the former nice borough nestled in gap - timid, retreating before this impudent onslaught, they else reminded of soft rustle êîæàíûõ soles on calm street at noonday hour, when people dispersed on house to eat, about laughter and low voice on evening, under rustle of the foliage. Ibo all this disappears! The Last tragic reflection a little twinkled on çàâîðîæåííûõ by time hill. George was recalled mrs divide;share Flad and her(its) word about aunt Mey - as she hoped that someday he returns home and uzh anymore óåäåò. And presently, when he stood near by taciturn Margaret and the last tragic reflection going out day weakly twinkled on their person, he suddenly seemed, is woke;waked they have froze here, in private with hill and river, exactly certain personified ïðîðî÷åñòâî, and something in all this there is lost, unbearable, yore predicted and inevitable, like èçâå÷íîìó of time and most fate - is woke;waked certain wizardry, which he did not find the names. Adown, beside most yard, already indistinguishable in the dark, ed the bell, whistle and boom travell about - a night express raced in city, he will stand there half an hour and is been empty on North further. He ïðîíåññÿ past, thundered amongst hills lonely echo, on ìãíîâåíüå has flashed up the flame of the open firebox, and newly heard only roar heavy travell about, he was rolled on bridge through river - and all ended, enormous train ïðîãðîìûõàë further, and has again come the silence. Afterwards already quite from afar, hardly discernible amongst town noise, once again, last time, äîëåòåë his(its) sobbing çîâ and newly, as always could be in the childhood, âñêîëûõíóë in George frantic pent-up joy, quip thirst wandering, triumphing faith in pledged morning, in new edges and sparkling city. And at heart showers certain daemon flight and darknesses çàøåïòàë: "Soon! Soon! Soon!" But afterwards both sowed;sown in machine and have rolled away from enormous hill dead person: her(its) waited òðåçâàÿ íåñîìíåííîñòü lights, people, home town, his(its) - a train, NEW YORK, unbeknownst tomorrow. THE BOOK SECOND. WORLD, WHICH has BUILT JACK The autumn semester began In NEW YORK already in School of the aplied arts, and George Uebber once again became to pull its teacher's strap. He more former âîçíåíàâèäåë teaching and caughted itself on that that even in watch occupation thinks about its new book and waits does not äîæäåòñÿ free time, when possible newly çàñåñòü for it. He else only began to write, but this time why-that was worked easy, and on former experience George knew: while he îäåðæèì creative fever, it is impossible miss nor one minute, and else he nearly with despair felt that it is necessary to write as large as possible, previously than will leave in light his(its) first book. This event, and wanted and scaring, approached in the whole its awesome inevitability now. George hoped that critics will be well-disposed or, at least once, îòíåñóòñÿ to his(its) novel respectfully yours. According to Fox Edvardsa, beside critics he should be able to meet good acceptance, but here is as book will become to buy, this never beforehand will not say, better about this be not conceived. On îáûêíîâåíèþ, George each day was seen with Ester Jack, but so was agitated, expecting that here is-will here is come off the press novel "Home, in our mountains" and so absorbed was a febrile work on new book that Ester already did not occupy the first place in his(its) thought and feeling. She understood this, and her(its) took the annoyance, as always in such events can be with woman. Possible, therefore-that she and has called him(it) in that evening, hope that in festive situation is shown him æåëàííåé and newly ñèëüíåå will posess his(its) attention. Anyway, she his(its) has called. Lay ahead the more exquisite celebration. Invited were, except native, all her(its) the áîãàòûå and brilliant friends, and Ester implored George to come. He refused. He it is necessary to work, said he. And else: beside it its world, beside it - its, and they never coincide. Let she will recall, about than they agreed. He does not want to have nothing total with her(it) around, enough he saw enough on these people, but if she will become balk embroil him(it) in its life, she will only destroy most base, on which are built their relations thereafter, as he to she returned. But Ester did not lag behind, she îòìàõíóëàñü from his(its) argument. - Sometimes you can be terribly foolish, George! - has impatiently said ona. - Vobieshi itself something in head and cost(stand) on its contrary to reason. You simply necessary more often to leave on people. You too much sit beside itself in four walls. This VWVfeel ill! And as possible be a writer if avoid the surrounding lifes? YA-to know that dialect! - She blushed, in voice her(its) sounded deep ubezhdennosti. - And afterwards, what attitude to us with you has this nonsence - your circle, my circle, under than this? The Words, word, word! Not foolish and listen;hear me. Much I ask? Hear one different, deliver me pleasure. Finally she has taken the top, and George was conquered. - Well, - knit, without any delight has mumbled on. - shall Come. The Ithaca, passed the September, but at October has come the day famous triumph. Later, looking over back, George has considered this date sinister ïðåäçíàìåíîâàíèåì: the brilliant event took place exactly for week before monstrous exchange ruin, which meant the end of the whole epoch. 10. JACK IN THE MORNING Mister Frederick Jack awoke at seven o'clocks thirty eight minutes, and in him were immediately aroused all his(its) life power. He sowed;sown, energetically çåâíóë, strerched and herewith self-conscious, comfortable motion hid turgid from VWVappear in the dreams person in dimple between âçäóâøèìèñÿ muscle right shoulder. "A-a-ah!" He again strerched, with enjoyment liberating from thick strechability VWVappear in the dreams, and minute-other sat much straight, wiping eye by rear party finger. Afterwards resolutely îòøâûðíóë blanket and ïåðåêèíóë of the leg on sex. On soft, silky, exactly felt, gray êîâðå finger of the legs themselves itself has found the home loafers without heel, from soft red skin. Having Slid in these slipper, he noiseless passed to window, stopped and, yawning and strerching, sleepy admired solar chilly in the morning. And has immediately recalled: October 17 1929, will today be a guests. Mister Jack loved to take the guests. With heights of the ninth floor he looked at transverse street, else turning blue in deep matutinal shade, am empty, áåçëþäíóþ, but already prepare to meet the new day. Heavy rumbling, has hastily rolled the lorry. Short çàäðåáåçæàë overturned on bridge garbage can. On sidewalk ïðîñåìåíèë ÷åëîâå÷åê - on glance overhand quite êîðîòûøêà, covered, as if hubcap, rueful sulphur by cloth, - wrapped for corner Park-avenue and disappeared, hurry somewhere in south part of city on work. Here, adown, this transverse street seemed Frederick Jack narrow ñèíåâàòûì by gorge amongst vertical houses-bluff, but wall of the buildings, âûñÿùèõñÿ further westward, emerged distinctly, under incisor of the sculptor as if, âûñâå÷åííûå young, çîëîòèñòûìè, extraordinarily strong and gentile ray matutinal sun. The Rays these lighted;lit up fairy-tale golden-rose glow upper floors and roofs âçìåòíóâøèõñÿ ââûñü the skyscraper, whose basis while sank;sunk in shade. Not yet sharp, not singing, rays these lay on leaving âäàëü pyramids from stone and steels, and under them on ãðåáíÿõ of the pyramids smoked and melted the trickles of the smoke. They were reflected, playing blinding briliance, in uncountable high window, and in their light rough èçæåëòà-white brick wall heat and tenderly turned pink, as if petal of the roses. Amongst erected hand of the person of the mountain tops, which so clearly appeared on the sky in ray matutinal sun, much were an enormous hotels, club, else áåçëþäíûõ in this hour of the offices. Jack are seen were an office common-rooms of the different companies ready to beginning of the work: distinctly emerged the rows brightly illuminated tables and âåðòÿùèõñÿ chair from maple, shone the bark fine wooden partitons and thick door with frosted glasses. All are these offices stood taciturn, empty, lifeless, but seemed - they oppressive will put on uzh; the near-by minute, when with streets õëûíåò flow to lifes, and will fill them, and will add him sense. In this strange, ïîòóñòîðîííåì light, on street, on which did not yet begin motion and were empty the buildings of the companies and offices, Jack suddenly seemed, is woke;waked all alive in city âûìåðëî or exorcised away and one only these âçíåñåííûå skyward obelisks remained from no time glorious, storied civilization. He has impatiently shrugged, shaking minute delusion, and has newly ed downwards, on street under window. She still was empty, but round the corner on Park-avenue already hurried bright, varicoloured machines, as if set off in distant wandering bugs - nearly all of these moved to Central station. And from everywhere in bright æèâîì light rose, gradually growing, boom of the new frantic day. Jack stood beside window - an animate small size, âîçíåñåííàÿ ââûñü on stone ledge, prodigy ãîñïîäíå, plump atom triumphing human rafts on luxury, in most heart of the most thick web on the ground, - stood and beheld all around, exactly ruler Atom: after all he has bought the right to use the elbowroom, silence, light and reliable wall in the middle chaos, has returned for all this verily tsarist ransom and was proud of the paided price. Before teeny îêîíöàìè-eye this human speck that nor day passed the uncountable madness, miseries and ugliness, but he did not feel neither doubts, nor awe. Nothing his(its) did not terrify. Other on his(its) place, ãëÿäÿ on enormous city, nude by light early morning, be can, has thought that city this inhuman, monstrous, has saw in his(its) flippant outline something from ancient Babylon. But not such a was mister Frederick Jack. The Right, be all these stone towers are erected in honour of his(its) one - and then he, probably, did not feel greater pride and triumph, did not feel ïîëíåå that he here master. "My city, - has thought on. - My". The Heart his(its) filled confidence and joy since he, as many, learned;learnt to watch, adore, take and not to assign the òðåâîæàùèõ shower of the questions. This boastful, flippant call from steels and stone, seemed him, is erected forever, capable to outlive any dangers, he - unassailable and shattering answer to all doubts. He loved all strong, rich, created with range and on age. Loved the sensation to reliability and the authorities, which gave him enormous buildings. And particularly loved the solid wall and sexes here is this building, in which veins. Here under his(its) step never ñêðèïíåò and does not ïðîãíåòñÿ the parquet, so strong, as if âûòåñàí one enormous plates from core èñïîëèíñêîãî oak. Yes, all here exactly so, either as must be. Mister Jack in all loved the order. And that's why him pleasing was a noise of the street motion, already taking power there, adown. He pleasantly was even watch, what push one another and outstrip each other pedestrians, èáî he and here saw the order. This order forces millionth crowd to hurry on morning on work in teeny cells enormous honeycomb, but evening after functioning(working) newly to hurry in the other cells already. This order inevitable, as change the timeses of the year, and in him Jack began to see clearly same harmony and longevity, as in the whole seen âñåëåííîé. He turned, dribbled the glance sleeping. Big, ample room, twenty feets lengthwise, twenty in width and high - twelve feets - a ceiling, and in these best proportion were too expressed prosperity, luxury and reliability. Just beside mediums that wall that opposite door, bed Jack, simple and whittling, timeses of the War for independence, under valance on four columns, and beside table, but on him small watch, lamp and several books. Beside mediums other wall - an old-time dresser, but besides, in room with big taste are located expanding table, on which âûñòðîèëèñü in row of the book and lies the current numbers a journal, two old windsor easy chairs with best thread on tree and the most comfortable soft easy chair. On wall - several charming french engravings. On sex - thick, shaggy dull-gray rug. Here is and the whole situation. From the whole this winnows modesty, nearly severe simplicity, which finely matches with sensation of the elbowroom, wealth and authorities. The Master of the room with pleasure ïðîíèêñÿ this sensation and was again turned to open window. The Full bosom he has deeply breathed æèâèòåëüíóþ matutinal freshness. The Air was given to drink worrying mixture town scent, the most fine and complex combination ensemble tone. Plowed, oddly to say, the ground, humid, flowering; sharply returned the salt sea surf, and from yard too pulled freshness and simultaneously mildly than-that acerbic, even ãíèëîñòíûì, and all penetrated the bitter aroma boiling strong coffee. This is an amazing incense áóäîðàæèë threat of the fight and dangers, whipped, as wine, promise authorities, wealth and ëþáâè. Frederick Jack slowly, with intoxicating joy breathed this invigorating airwaves and newly, as always, felt in him unbeknownst threat and unbeknownst enjoyment. Suddenly under him, sometime much deeply, on ìãíîâåíüå weakly quailled the ground. He çàìåð, frowned, and in he âñòðåïåíóëîñü the old alarm feeling, which he could not select the name. Not on shower this him if something vary and shudders. When he has right before moved in this house, he awoke in the morning with sensation, is woke;waked a little çàäðîæàëè around massive wall, - such distant and fleeting was this tremor that he was not certain, did not seem, and became to question the doorman beside door, leaving on Park-avenue. And doorman has explained that this house, where surrender such luxurious apatments, is built on two tunnels of the railway - and he, Jack, has felt the concussion from train, flashed by in bowels of the earth deeply. This not a bit not dangerously, has notarized the doorman, opposite, most tremor sewer - spare proof their made to reliability. But all mister Jack this did not like. In he budged the unclear alert. He has preferred that his(its) house rested on utter strong. Here is and presently, appreciable in wall light tremor, he çàìåð, frowned and waited that all subsided. Afterwards smiled. "Under me pass the enormous train, - has thought on. - a Morning, radiant morning, but they go and go - all these boys-daydreamers from provincial ãîðîäèøåê. Always they tear in this great city. Yes, here is and presently they ïðîåçæàþò beside me underfoot, having gone crazy from joy, having ed mad from hopes, intoxicated thought about victory. What they want to obtain? What? The Glories, huge incom and some äåâ÷îíêè! And all of these arrive here in quest of same magic stick. They need the power. The Power. The Power". Now dream quite passed, and mister Jack, having shuttered window, quick at a walk made way to âàííóþ. He loved her(its) - ample, suitable, sparkling milk-white porcelain and silver tap. Since minute he confronted the washstand and, mildly baring, not without pleasure examinred closely in mirror their own strong, sound teeths. Afterwards âûäàâèë on hard brush good two inches of the thick paste and studiously ïî÷èñòèë them, turning head that to the right, that to the left and not reducing eye with its reflections in mirror while on lip not çàáåëåëà äóøèñòàÿ, returning peppermint freshness spume. Then he âûïëþíóë the spume, has washed off her(its) water from beneath tap and has rinsed the mouth and throat by a little acerbic disinfecting facility. He loved the close-fitting even formation a lotion, cream, unguents, vial, tubes, áàíî÷åê, brushes, shaving attributes, which is placed was a shelf made someone look fat blue flow on washstand. He ãóñòî has soaped the cheeks and chin by broad hand with silver handle and was taken energetically rub the spume a tip finger, stroking from time to time and ïîøëåïûâàÿ skin while she was not covered thick smooth ñëîåì warm cream. Has Afterwards revealled the razor. He acknowledged only dangerous razor, and she always was beside it ideal is whetted. At resolute minute, before that as in the first once to conduct the blade from top to bottom, he mildly bent over onward, tale by full torso, óïîðèñòî has placed the legs, has a little bent them in knee, certain âçìàõíóë brilliant blade and, carefully having turned soaped physiognomy âáîê and up, has raised the eye to ceiling, was as if made take on shoulder become heavy burden. Quietly red two ðàñòîïûðåííûìè finger for cheek and exact motion has held the razor at her. And under the end has even quacked from pleasure. The Blade softly slid on cheek before most edges to jaws and has left for itself even turn pink strip flawlessly smooth of the skin. That for enjoyment to feel, what the killing sharp razor hard oppose, ïîñêðèïûâàþùèå hairspring and what its rash pitiless steel takes. Mister Jack was shaved, but in the interim mentally with pleasure sorted all that came in well in his(its) lifes. He has thought about its cloth. The Suits him(it), invariably stylish, differ the perfect taste, daily he puts on all fresh. Cotton wool fabric does not carry. Buies the most fine silk linen, and in his(its) cloakroom numbers fourty with spare suit from London straight. Each morning he captious their revises, careful and skilfully selects on today shoe, carryings, shirt and tie that they matched ideal, and occasionly for several minutes sinks in second thought, previously than choose the suitable suit. He loves ðàñïàõíóòü doors of the become closet and examine their own ðàçâåøàííûå in ñòðîæàéøåì the order stylish, without united speck suits. So pleasantly breathe strong, net scent excellent fabrics, and these fourty tones of the colour and cover, is thought him, very in flattering terms reflect the different parties and galley proof his(its) own nature. Either as all around, type these suit fills him(it) on morning by sensation to confidence, joys and power. There is usual morning meal: orange juice, two elite soft-boileds egg, two fine chunky slices of roasted bread and juicy ëîìòè rose prague ham, which is dressed frames the curly verdure of the parsley. And else he will drink coffee - a cup for cup strong coffee. So supporting, he will leave toward lifes, full vigour and power, ready to caught on summer all that can bring him new day. He was recalled, as splendid today in the morning smell(blowed in) midair ground, and recollection this was verily mask on heart. Although and fundamental townsman, mister Jack was not less other sensitive to goblet full-grown-ground. He loved the nature, on which has imposed its imprint a hand person: øåëêîâèñòûå lawns in extensive country possessions, merry horde bright garden colour, splendid crumps with plainly ðàññàæåííîãî shrubbery. All this pleased his(its) shower. The Simple life on bosom of the nature âëåêëà his(its) year from year all ñèëüíåå, and he has built the big country house in county Uestchester. He loved the most high-priced sports. Quite often went for city to play in golf and enjoy the velvet ribbon çåëåíåþùèìè in bright light sun platform and aroma ñâåæåïðîêîøåííûõ track. Loved after play to stand under invigorating streem soul, washing off perspiration of the zeal with well shaved off bodies, and then repose on chilly club verandah, talk about that as there was count, ïîøóòèòü, laugh a little, pay the loss or get the advantage, drink the good whisky in companies with other seen by people. Loved to, what rinse on high white pole flag his(its) native lands - a flag here too pleased the eye. But mister Jack loved and beauty ïîïðîùå, ïîãðóáåå. Loved wild ðàçðîñøèåñÿ of the herb on hillside and old òåíèñòûå roads that âüþòñÿ, leading away all further in silence, from obtruding velocities and exhasting brilliant concrete away. Deeply deeply touched, watched he, could be, in medium of the October on boundless sadness gold(en), orange, redhead of the foliage, but once upon a time saw get old mill of the red brick, ðäåþùóþ in ray of the sundown, and heart his(its) çàìåðëî ("Think only - all this in some thirty miles from NEW YORK..."). In such minute stolichny life seemed him infinitely distant. And quite often he stopped to vent the flower or stand in pensiveness beside creek. Amongst this peace silence he with breath of regret thought about that, as hasty and screwy life human, and, however, invariably returned in enormous, full put city. Ibo life there is life, she authentic, she serious, but mister Jack was a person business. He was a person business and, understandable, loved the risky play. What is a deal unless play? Rise the price or will fall? Will Take the congress that or this decision? Will war somewhere on êðàþ the light and will appear lack that or other important cheese? That will become to carry the women(woman) for future year - a broad-brimmed hats or teeny øëÿïêè, long charge or short? Solve at a venture, put on this guesswork their own money - and if mistaken several times contract, that, can happen, anymore be you businesspersons. The Ithaca, mister Jack loved the play and conducted her(its) as searched for business man. Each day he played on exchange. À on evening quite often played in club. Played nowhere near not on triviality. A Thousand of dollars âûêëàäûâàë eye not having twinkled. The Large amounts did not bring him(it) in thrill. He was not scared Values and CHisel. That is why he loved ìíîãîëþäüå. That is why amongst enormous severe buildings, like sullen bluff, shower his(its) filled the tranquillity and confidence. At type of the skyscraper in ninety floors he not at all is biased was be knocked down in ashes, beat itself fist on ðàñïèðàåìîé madness to head and exclaim: "Grief to me! The Grief!" About no. Each stone èñïîëèí, outbound top in îáëàêà, was for it çíàìåíèåì authorities and might, monument in glory of the eternal empire of the American Business. This invigorated and pleased. After all in this empires - his(its) faith, his(its) wealth and most life. Here he has firmly occupied its place. And, however, he has not become stale the heart, not blind to someone else misery and not çàêîñíåë in ãîðäûíå. After all he not once saw the people, which evening, îïåðøèñü on windowsill, calm watch from window, saw and that, which êèøìÿ êèøàò on street, crowd topple from ratholes, - and quite often asked itself that beside them for life. Mister Jack was through with shave and has rinsed the blazing person by first hot water, afterwards cool. Has Drenched his(its) ÷èñòûì towel and carefully âòåð in skin fragrant, a little tingling lotion. And has stood the minute, satisfied examinring closely itself in mirror, ëåãîíüêî stroking from time to time tip finger áàðõàòèñòûå, smooth and rosy cheeks. It Afterwards was steeply turned - a time was be expiated. He loved on morning to sink in enormous, imbedded in sex bath, loved the ðàçíåæèâàþùåå heat frothing soapy water and sharp, net scent of the aromatic salts. He not alien was and feeling of the beauty, and he loved, lazy îòêèíóâøèñü in bath, admire the çàâîðàæèâàþùåé dance reflected from water light glare on milk-white ceiling. But the whole pleasing, when red, wet, the whole in resinous ïàõíóùåé to soapsuds become under prickly, scathing shower and feel the hot tide to militant vigour and washed health and, stepped on thick cork small rug, èçî whole power are grinded äîñóõà enormous hard ìîõíàòûì towel. All this he impatiently anticipated presently, with ringing lowerring on place become heavy silverred gap of the bath. Has Turned before refusal tap, strong ñòðóåé has started hot water and watched, as she, seething and äûìÿñü, fills the bath. Has Afterwards thrown the slipper, has quickly joined with itself silk pajamas. Gordelivo has felt the bicepses, with true pleasure has looked over in mirror its thick, fine ed body. He was is well cut and firmly suture, and nowhere no unhealthy fat, realy that a little observable ïóõëîñòü on loin yes hardly perceptible tipoff on paunch, but feel alarm until because of what, he looks where better very many, who for twenty years younger. And he has felt deep, roast satisfaction. Privernul tap, has put on test finger in water - and âìèã îòäåðíóë, âñêðèêíóë from pain and surprises. Absorbed their own thought, he has forgotten about get cold water; now he has started her(it) and watched, what the streem beats, êëîêî÷óò the teeny white ïóçûðüêè and on hot ãîëóáèçíå scatter the trembling waves of the light. Finally he has carefully tried water by leg, in most once now. He has closed the tap. And here is he has retreated on step-another, abut against the barefoot sole in warm bars flap, sharply, on-military was rectified, has done the deep breath and was energetically takeàased matutinal atheletics. Not bending legs, he steeply bent over and, having quacked, extended hand, most tip finger, concerned the flap. Quickly, measured he was rectified and newly bent over, counting out in tact: "Once! Two! Three! Four!" The Hands broad flap cut the air, but thoughts in the interim as before run on pleasing rut, which has laid for them whole his(its) life. Today çâàíûé supper - he so loves these brilliant, merry gathering. Besides he much has ed on its age, fine knows the light and this city, and although he person good, but not away amuse with the harmless taunt, verbal exchange of gunfire wit, yes and listen, as other cruel languages tease the simple-hearted youth. Without the whole this does not dispense on such gathering, where meets folk the most different. And this will add him special taste and piquancy. Drolly watch, possible, as other simpleton only-only from godforsaken muffle;deaden writhes on hook insidious and cruel taunt, - from feminine mouths for the best, after all women(woman) on such great ìàñòåðèöû. However, there is and men more skilful in this play - a such mundane lap dogs, pet áîãàòûõ houses or dainty-vitrolic ladylike junker, which always are able, æåìàííè÷àÿ, painfully prick the poisoned dart of the most thick-skinned provincial. There is something on behalf of here is such vulnerable boy-yokels, when he slowly turns crimson from hot shame, amazing and anger and vain strong awkward word to requite the cruel wasp, which has stung and has in a flash flown off, - there is on behalf of such çëîïîëó÷íîé of the victim something very touching that invariably causes in mister Jack nearly paternalistic tenderness and miraculous sensation to youth and innocences. As if he and itself is once again carried on wink in time of its adolescence. But all well in measure. Mister Jack was a person not cruel and disinclined nor to what bells and whistles. He loved the briliance and revelry such evening, febrile âîëíåíüå high rates, quick agitating change the amusements. Loved the theatre and watched all best production and all best, witty and çàíèìàòåëüíîå from "small forms" - with mark by satire, with good dance, with music Gershvina. He loved the reviews, which arranged his(its) wife since their arranged she, he was proud of her and enjoyed the evening in Amateur theatre - they for it were a high entailment of the culture. And happened, straight in tailcoat he went to watch the competitions a boxer, but once upon a time, when returned home, on his(its) snow-white starched dickey blushed the blood of the known champion. Such not any can ïîõâàñòàòü. He loved ìíîãîëþäüå, activity, loved to take beside itself in house best actor, artist, writers and áîãàòûõ, formed jew. He possessed good and faithfull heart. His(its) purse always open was for friend in trouble. He was generous, ðàäóøíûé master, guests helm and gave to drink on-tsarist, but the main, he was the most gentile and ëþáâåîáèëüíåéøèé family man. But herewith he loved and denuded áàðõàòèñòûå back pretty womans, and sparkling necklaces around graceful øåé. Loved the womans seductive, in briliance gild and diamond, which else emphasized îñëåïèòåëüíîñòü their evening toilet. Loved the womans - an entailment of the last mode: springy bosom, òî÷åíàÿ neck, graceful legs, narrow hip, unexpected power and flexibility. He liked languid pallor, çîëîòèñòàÿ bronze hair, fine, brightly íàêðàøåííûå lips - and in storehouse of the lips something trouble, liked lengthened greenish-gray êîøà÷üè eye, ïîëóïðèêðûòûå age. Liked to watch, as feminine hands underbide the cocktail, and hear, as low, little hoarse, truly town voice - a little tired, derisive, mildly challenging, pronounces: - Well, expensive that this with you happened? I uzh thought, you never are shown. He loved all that, from what without wit each man. All this he enjoyed, conducting any enjoyment befitting time and place, and nothing other did not wait from others. But ïðåâûøå whole he put the feeling of the measure and always knew how in time to stop. Izvechnuyu judaic ardor in he softened the feeling to classical temperance. Above many other äîáðîäåòåëåé he valued observance a decebcy. He knew the price to golden mean. He did not open the shower each counter and transverse, did not put continually its life on card, nothing do not promise in the heat of the moment and nothing do not do outlining head. All this characteristic screwy õðèñòèàíàì. Idolopoklonstvo and erratic behavior were him alien, but within reasonable he not worse any other got ready very many to waive into the name of friendships. He does not throw the friend while that will not turn out to be on galley proof of the ravaging and ruins, will even try to hold him(it) on êðàþ the gaps. But if person quite ed mad and already not capable âíÿòü voice òðåçâîãî reason, certainly: for mister Jack such anymore exists. Such he although and not without regret, will give his(its) VWVincrease the frequency of. That profits for nave if the whole command will go to bottom with single drunk sailor at the same time? The Profits exactly no, supposed mister Jack. Deep, sincere feeling sounded in his(its) mouth two significant words: "What a pity!" Yes, mister Frederick Jack was a person good and moderate. He made sure that life good, and has opened the secret to worldly wisdom. But secret to worldly wisdom was concluded in readiness with concinnity to go on compromises and patiently take the world such, as he there is. If want to live on this light and not to remain stone-broke, learn to peer into both and hear that is done around, on that are given eye and VWVtake in. But if want to live on this light so that you did not beat on head, did not tear apart in vain pain, grief, terror, bitterness, all flour human, - learn else and not to see, not to hear, close the eye and VWVtake in. Can be shown that this not so-that simply, but mister Jack this art âëàäåë. Be can, heritage of the great sufferings, long, heavy test, through which passed his(its) folk, îäåëèëè him(it), as if êàïëåé to precious essence, gratis balances and âñåïîíèìàíèÿ. Anyway, he this did not learn, èáî this teach it is impossible. This was given him by nature. The Ithaca, not that he was a person to in night darkness to tear the sheet on bands and knit itself loop or in blood to split the fists about wall. Will Not become he frenzied to thrash about on poisoned labyrinth of the night streets, and will not carry away him(it), beaten, stained with blood, from public building. Certainly, sometimes not easily take the feminine whims, but bitter secret ëþáâè did not tear apart mister Jack and did not disturb to sleep peacefully, as could not disturb carelessly eaten schnitzel on-viennese or this young oaf - a christian, which, faithfully again under get drunk hand, rang at hour of the nights since he ïðèñïè÷èëî to speak to Ester. Having Recalled about this, mister Jack has growed dark. Has Mumbled something indistinct. The Fools - they and there is fools, but start;put äóðüþ ìó÷àþòñÿ somewhere at a distance and do not disturb to sleep the serious people. Yes, men capable to steal, lie, kill, defraud, cheat and practice fraud, - whole light known. But women(woman)... well, they and there is women(woman), and here uzh nothing will not do. Mister Jack too çíàâàë òîëèêó to that pains and that madness that eat the ardent young showers... certainly, this sad, very sad. But, independently nor from what, day there is day - daytime it is necessary to work, but night there is night, in the night it is necessary to sleep, and, right, this simply not-ñòåð-pi-mo. - Once! The Whole crimson, he began êðÿõòÿ with effort to bend over, while tips finger did not concern the snow-white tiled flap âàííîé. ...not-ñòåð-pi-mo... - Two! He was sharply rectified, hands have lowered along body. ...that person, who there is serious work... - Three! He has thrown the hands before refusal upwards and immediately jerk has lowered and has clenched a fist before bosom. ...have to was amongst nights âñêàêèâàòü with beds because some addle-brained, mad boy... - Four! Clenched a fist with power are thrown away onward, for blow as if, and newly omitted along body. ...This was unbearable, and, right word, he, seems, without îáèíÿêîâ so her and will say! With atheletics is finished; mister Jack carefully setted foot in luxurious, imbedded in sex bath and slowly was situated in transparent bluish ãëóáè. Long, long breath of the true enjoyment has flown down from his(its) lips. 11. MRS JACK AWAKES Mrs Jack awoke in eight. Awoke, as child, instant, has immediately come alive and âñòðåïåíóëàñü all its essence, cost to open the eye - and VWVappear in the dreams as did not can be, thoughts and feeling clear and fresh. So she awoke whole its life. The Minute, not budging, rested upon back and peered into ceiling. Then she strong, triumphing dash îòêèíóëà blanket with small splendid body, vested in long, without sleeve, nightshirt from fine wanted silk. Has Gusty bent the lap, has ed the foots from beneath blankets and was again extended. With surprise and pleasure has looked over their own tiny drumsticks. She most pleasantly was watch, what beside it strong, even, perfect form finger and sound, brilliant íîãòè. With same baby boastful surprise she has slowly raised the left hand and became leisurely to turn before eye, çàâîðîæåííî her(its) examinring closely. Tender and concentrated she watched, as obediently the most slightest her(its) desire fine òî÷åíîå wrist, adored graceful êðûëàòûìè flap of the narrow dark cyst, beauty and certain dexterity that were felt in rear party palm and beautifully âûëåïëåííûõ finger. Has Afterwards raised other hand and, telling lies both cyst immediately, continued tenderly and concentrated them to admire. "What in them âîëøåáñòâî! - thought ona. - What âîëøåáñòâî and what power! The Gentlemen, before what they beautiful and on what miracle capable! For what production I nor r, çàìûñëû appear beside me, exactly some glad prodigy. All this ripens and forms inwardly, but after all nobody nor reek has not asked, as this beside I am got! First, all appear immediately... the such unadulterated piece in head. (The Amusing thought has forced her(its) crinkle the forehead with some in bewilderment-bewilderring, nearly animal by expression.) Afterwards all molder on bit and itself itself are formed up in some order, but flood comes to motion, - has thought she with torzhestvom. - First I feel, as it runs down with necks and with shoulder, afterwards rises on leg and belly, but afterwards again reconverges and forms the star. À after goes in hands, before tip finger, and then uzh hand itself does that, what me to want. The Hand conducts the line - and in this lines there is all, what me it is necessary. The Hand pawns the pleat a piece fabrics - and nobody as a whole light has not did such pleats, nor beside who more this fabrics so did not look. The Hand disturbs the spoon in saucepan, òû÷åò plug, throws the pinch a pepper, when I cook for George, - thought she, - and is got dish, what does not ñãîòîâèò the best chef as a whole light since I invest in this itself - a heart, shower, the whole its love! - thought she is won and likuyusche. - Yes! And so was always and in all that I nor did, - in all clarity çàìûñëà, line to my lifes clear, as gold(en) thread, her(its) possible track from most childhood". Now, having examined their own deft beautiful hands, she was taken leisurely check rest. The having Bent head, has looked over get fat bosom, fluent outlines of the belly, áåäåð, legs. Approving has held at hip palm. Has Again stretched the hands along body and lay still, the whole straight line, foots close, head îòêèíóòà, serious glance is directed in ceiling - as if small queen, preparing to burial, infinitely calm and beautiful, but body else warm, else soft, - and herewith thought: "Here is my hands and finger, here is my hip, lap, foots, perfect finger of the legs, here is she I". And suddenly, as if check own wealth has filled her(its) enormous joy and äîâîëüñòâîì, she began to shine, gusty sowed;sown and has resolutely ed the legs on sex. Has Put them in home loafers, has got up, ðàñïàõíóëà of the hand in the whole extent, has afterwards reduced, having coupled finger beside çàòûëêà, çåâíóëà and íàêèíóëà on itself yellow ñòåãàíûé robe that lay in èçíîæüå beds. Beside Ester was rose nice, fine, exquisite beautiful person. In this small, clearly âûëåïëåííîì, on rarity movable ëè÷èêå with ñâîåîáðàçíûì by oval - nearly in the form heart - strangely matched the line a child and adult women(woman). Seen her(it) for the first time, any immediately thought: "Probably, she and äåâî÷êîé was in accuracy such. Probably, she from childhood nor droplets changed". But rested upon this person and imprint of the mature years. Baby oozed in him whole clear, when she with anyone talked and the whole fired merry, indefatigable activity. For work on behalf of Ester oozed gravity and centrality mature, tempted master, âñåöåëî absorbed by its hard labour, and in such minute she looked quite not young. Here is then-that became the mark traces to weariness and teeny ìîðùèíêè around eye, and gray hair, already being drafty in dark chestnut hair here and there. And in watch of the rest or when she remained in private with itself on person her(its) quite often lay the shade of the melancholy second thought. Then beauty his(its) became deep and enigmatic. Ester Jack was for three-fourths jewess, and when she possessed pensiveness, in she took the top that ancient, mysterious and sorrowful that inherent this race. The Forehead cut the wrinkles to sadnesses and perplexities, and in all look oozed seal the fate, as if memory about priceless, forever lost treasure. The Expression this on her(its) person appeared not often, but George Uebbera any once, as he his(its) noticed, covered the alert, èáî then he seemed that deeply in shower of the women(woman), who he loved and, as he seemed, already understood, hidden certain secret knowledge, him inaccessible. But most often her(its) saw and for the best remembered merry, shining, tireless äåÿòåëüíîé - a small ardent creation, so much baby joys glowed in whose fine devil and unquenchable äîâåð÷èâîñòè. In such minute of her(its) cheek-bull's-eye flamed up become cool sound color, and cost her to fall into room, as all around was lighted;litted up coming from it matutinal light of the lifes and purities. And when she left on street, mingled with always ñïåøàùåé, joyless, heartless crowd, person her(its) shone, exactly immortal flower amongst lifeless-sulphur of the people with lifeless-gloomy eye. Past she was worn out in human whirlpool indistinguishable monotonous persons, on all has frozen one and same blunting callousness, was drafty ditto treachery without borders, trick without sense and purposes, öèíè÷åñêàÿ èñêóøåííîñòü without any resemblance of the faith and wisdoms, - but also in this horde walking dead person other suddenly stopped in the middle eternal sullen bustle and âïåðÿëè in it çàòðàâëåííûé worrisome glance. She was such plump, round, from she winnowed the bounty, as from fruit-bearing ground, she as if belonged to other human sort, quite not to look like their rueful becoming very thin scarcity, - and they ãëÿäåëè her after, as if doomed eternal torments sinners in hell, which on wink is given was a vision alive, imperishable beauty. Mrs Jack else stood near beds, and here chambermaid Burrow Fogarti knocked in door and immediately entered with tray, on which were a high silver coffee-pot, small sugar bowl, cup with saucer and ëîæå÷êîé and matutinal "Tayms". She has put(deliver)ed the tray on night table and has said the hoarse voice: - Zdrasite, mrs Jack. - À, Burrow, regard! - was called back landlady quickly and in surprise, as always, when with her zdorovalisi. - Well as you today, but? - has asked she so vividly, as if her and really this much interesting, but immediately continued: - Glorious will be an äåíåê, truth? Vidali you someday such miraculous morning? - Your truth, mrs Jack, - agreed the chambermaid, - a morning much even miraculous. The Answer has sounded respectful, nigh only obsequious, but in voice ed and something noncommittal-cunning and sullen; mrs Jack has quickly raised the eye and has met the âîñïëàìåíåííûé alcohol, meaningless, spiteful glance in stress. Similars was, however that this woman is irritated not as much on landlady as on the whole white light. But if she and âïðÿìü ready was èñïåïåëèòü mrs Jack glance, this burning resentment is given birth was a blind by instinct: simply in she smoulderred the bad malice, but why - a Burrow and itself did not know. Uzh most certainly she did not feel itself oppressed ïðåäñòàâèòåëüíèöåé of the undermost classes, after all she was an irishwoman and êàòîëè÷êà before brain of the bones and in all that concerned value and positions in society, was filled by consciousness own superiority. She served in house mrs Jack more twenty years and on generous bread pretty became utterly lazy, but, in spite of the whole its truly irish ïðèâÿç÷èâîñòü and devotion, nor minute had no doubt that finally this family will fall into hell with all other pagan and íå÷åñòèâöàìè at the same time. But meantime beside these prosperring íåõðèñòåé she was lived very rather well. As speak, she was got soft spot, to she invariably went nearly íåíàäåâàííûå garbs mrs Jack and her(its) sisters Edit, and nothing do not disturb her to take on the most broad leg friendly-police, which came times three at week ïîóõàæèâàòü for her; he ated and saws in its pleasure so him and in head did not come get in the other place somewhere. But in the interim she has postponed âïðîê several thousand dollars yes else tireless delivered all its sister and niece in ðîäíîì county Crusts to the most piquant gossips from áûòà ñëèâîê rich NEW WORLD, where possible so rather well make money; however, gossips she spiced the òîëèêîé an áëàãî÷åñòèâîãî reprobations and regret and plea to ïðåñâÿòîé virgo to keep her(it) and not to abandon amongst like pagan. No, right, spiteful annoyance in her(its) burning eye had nothing in common with caste hate. She has lived in this house twenty years, using bounty and generosity pagan high, ñàìîëó÷øåãî of the sort, and gradually got used to to all their ãðåõîâíûì custom nearly, but nor for minute did not afford to forget, where lies the way true and shines the light true, nor for minute did not leave her(its) hope at one beautiful day to return in more enlightenning, truly christian native edges. And not from poverty blazed the insult of the eye ãîðíè÷íîé, this was not stubborn, taciturn anger of the poor person against rich man, sensation to unfairness that's why that worthy people like it have to whole age to be a servant the good-for-nothing lazy idler. She not at all agonized pity to itself that's why that it is necessary with morning before night ìîçîëèòü hands to áîãàòàÿ mundane lady could carefree to smile and cherish its beauty. Burrow fine knew, no such work on house, - a tax on table, cook, sew, repair, put in order, - which her(its) landlady did not be able execute where quick and better, than she, chambermaid. Knew she also that in this enormous city, which ceaseless boom deafens even her(its) not too keen ear, her(its) landlady acts from day to day with energy dynamo-machines - buies, books, tries, calculates, roofs, ÷åðòèò... then in enormous, rather rueful premiseses, where walk the draughts, where find flesh and blood her(its) çàìûñëû and outlines, she on wood with artist - and with lightness beats them in their craft; that sits, on-turkish crossbreed legs, amongst huge folding fabrics, and in her(its) deft finger needle flashes where rash, than in nimble hand sitting around tailor with èçæåëòà-pale persons; that tireless snoops around and sifts through gloomy ëàâ÷îíêàõ, where trade any junk, and suddenly with triumph will dig from heap of schlock swatch that most pattern, what she was necessary. And always she ãîíèò their own subordinated, always hurries, unrelenting, but also mellow, she does not release âîææè from hands and brings the deal before the end, winning laziness, negligence, vanity, foolishness, indifference and unreliability that, with whom she happens to to work, - an artist, actor, stagehand, banker, trade-union has fuelled, ýëåêòðèêîâ, tailor, costume designer, stage manager and director. The Whole this motley, in majority rather sleazy and not too skilful command, whose works s screwy and risky integer, referred to as by theatre of the small forms, she obtrudes same harmony, èçûñêàííîñòü çàìûñëà and peerless êðàñî÷íîñòü, what differs her(its) own life. And all this chambermaid beautifully knew. Besides she saw enough on cruel, unamenable world, where daily wages war and îäåðæèâàåò the victories her(its) landlady, and clear understood that, even possess she talent itself and cognitions, which is vested mrs Jack, in all her(it), Norinom, lazy tele not to take so much energies, determinations and the authorities, how much hidden beside that in tip pinkie. And understanding this nowhere near did not arouse in irishwoman feeling to inferiority, opposite, added the self-satisfaction, after all on most-that deal present òðóæåíèöà not she, but mrs Jack! No, she, chambermaid, eats and ïüåò ditto, as landlady, lives under the same roof, even carries same charge - and no way on light she did not revenge with its landlady. Yes, she understood that she was lucky and complain not on that; and, however, irritating, unnatursl insult by pitiless fire blazed in her(its) hostile, rebellious glance. But why - she and itself could not explain the word. But at minute, when these two women(woman)s turned out to be face to face, word were do not need. The Explanation çàïå÷àòëåíî were in most their rafts, was read in each their motion. Not wealth mrs Jack, not her(its) power and position in society caused malice an ãîðíè÷íîé, but something more personal and it is difficult perceptible - a special mindset and ñâîåîáðàçèå, what differed whole life that, the other women(woman). Ibo for the last year by Burrow Fogarti has possessed dismay, internal discontent and disillusionment, dim, but irresistible feeling that whole her(its) life will go íàïåðåêîñ and, good-for-nothing, useless, approaches to futile old age. She bewilderred and ìó÷àëàñü, feelling what has missed in lifes something beautiful and majestic, and not understanding that this could be. But that this nor was, but her(its) landlady, is seen, some miraculously this mysterious something have found and íàñëàäèëàñü him in full, - and this truth, which Burrow clear âèäàëà although and could not define and name, æãëà her(its) unbearable insult. They were nearly contemporary, one growing and so similar adding that chambermaid could, not taking in and not remaking, carry õîçÿéêèíû charge. But even though they were born on miscellaneous planet and conducted its begin from absolutely protoplasm miscellaneous, they could not be more opposite to each other. The Burrow not at all was a freak. Her(its) black hairs, çà÷åñàííûå on sidelong part, were thick and splendid. And person was pleasing and pretty if not blunt-bewildered expression, which added him presently hop and forming groundless fury. On behalf of this was and kindness - but was and frantic âñïûëü÷èâîñòü, inherent nature, in which hidden something ungovernable, rough and in ditto time vulnerable, cruel, gentile and gusty-wild. And figure her(its) did not yet run, and she was sewn on âïîðó graceful cover skirt from green woolly fabrics in large hutch (the skirt has recently returned her landlady - after long years of the service Burrow was considered as it were senior on rest servant and is not obliged was carry the uniform gown, as the other ãîðíè÷íûå). But landlady was an òîíêà in bones, and graceful figured her(its) differed in ditto time by seductive splendour, chambermaid, opposite, seemed ax and awkward. She had a body of the women(woman), whose youth and fruit-bearing freshness passed, already several become heavy, inflexible, it became dry and hard from many blow and long weariness, from slowly accumulated cargo of the unbearable days and pitiless years, which all deprive beside person and from which nobody not to slip away. No, nobody not to slip away - only here is _îíà_ slips away, bitterly thought the irishwoman with deaf, unspeakable word by sensation that her(its) have cruelly insulted, - _åé_ all are given, _îíà_ always torzhestvuet. _Åé_ years bring only success for success. But why so? Why? The Thought her(its) ed on this question, exactly wild beast on vertical impervious wall, and çàìåðëà in ðàñòåðÿííîñòè. Realy they did not breathe one and same air, did not ate same food, did not carry same charge, in veins under one roof? Realy was not beside it all same - not a bit not worse and not less, than beside landladies? Uzh if on that has gone, her, Burrow, live else ïîëó÷øå, with acerbic contempt has thought she, she-that is not torn slightly with morning before night, as her(its) landlady. À between that she cost(stand)s bewildered, bewilderring and sullen looks at blinding lucky life that, another... she sees this brilliant success, understands, as he great, feels, as he for it offensive, - and does not know, what word to voice, before what this unbearable wrongly. Knows only one: her(its) have done awkward and awkward that most years, which other woman has added the concinnity and flexibility; her(its) skin became hard and çåìëèñòîé from the same sun and winds, which have added the briliance shining beauty of the other women(woman); and even presently soul her(its) is poisoned by consciousness that life her(its) did not manage, passed in vain, but in that, another, as if beautiful music, do not go out power and self-confident-control, health and joy. Yes, this she understood it is enough clear. The Comparison opened cruel and terrible truth, did not leave neither doubts, nor hopes. And presently Burrow has grown old and knit looked at landlady, trying under pressure perennial âûó÷êè that voice her(its) sounded, either as relies on, respectful submissively, and herewith saw that that has solved her(its) secret envy and disillusionment in lifes and feels sorry her(it). And shower ãîðíè÷íîé ïåðåïîëíèëà hate, èáî pity she seemed extreme, the most unbearable insult. And really, when mrs Jack çäîðîâàëàñü with ãîðíè÷íîé, her(its) charming person remained all such good and cheerful, however sharp-eyed eye have in a flash noticed raging in that malice, and her(its) have covered the surprise, pity and remorse. "Again! - has thought ona. - Drank once fill third once for this week! That this such? Than can finish the similar person?" Mrs Jack and itself did not know plainly that meant the word "like person", but on wink in she was aroused impassive curiosity; with such feeling strong, generously gifted resolute personality, whose talent with briliance and lightness reveals itself on each step and crowns her(its) life by unchangeable success, is suddenly looked over and with surprise notices that nearly all people around live quite otherwise, somehow manage since day for day, blindfold, awkwardly drags sleazy and boring existence. With sudden regret she has understood that people these absolutely faceless and colourless, as if each not living being, which are given ability to love and be loved, beauty, joy, passion, suffering and death, - but only particle some íåîõâàòíîãî and terrible alive mash. Shocked this opening, landlady looked at maid, which has lived with her side by side nearly twenty years, and was for the first time conceived - that for life was beside this women(woman)? "That this such? - again and again thought ona. - That with she ñòðÿñëîñü? Previously she such was not. This happened for the last year. And after all earlier Burrow was such pretty! - suddenly with scare has recalled ona. - Yes after all first, when she to we have only entered, she was simply beautiful! Shame and shame! - mentally resented mrs Dzhek. - That girl with such possibility - and so was lowered! Do Not understand, why she did not leave married? For she hung around, at least once, with half-dozen these âåðçèë police, and only one still neatly her(its) visits. All of these were from it without wit, could she anyone to choose!" With well-disposed curiosity she examinred closely the ãîðíè÷íóþ, and here her(its) concerned the breathing of this women(woman) - has doused the ïåðåãàðîì drunk whisky, sharp scent íåìûòûõ hair and nonnumerical body. Her(its) has pulled, she frowned and immediately ãóñòî has reddened from shame, embarrassments and sharp squeamishness. "Gentlemen, yes from she stinks! - with terror and loathing has thought ona. - Choke possible! The Filth what! - Now her(its) resentment addressed on all ãîðíè÷íûõ srazu. - a Bet äåðæó, they never are washed, but after all him with morning before night to do the íå÷åãî, could, at least once, contain itself in purity! About, the gentlemen! Seems, could rejoice that serves in such beautiful house and beside us him so well live; could although droplet this are proud of and value all that we for they do! So no! They simply this does not cost(stand)!" - with contempt has thought she, and on wink cozy corner her(its) beautifully outlined lips have distorted ugly ãðèìàñà. In this ãðèìàñå was drafty not only contempt and taunt, but something hardly not characteristic whole her(its) tribe - some flippant, stubborn call, as if longing to prove its superiority. This shortenning grin on wink only, nearly elusive, èçóðîäîâàëà of the outline of her(its) lips, she at all did not approach to charming person and immediately disappeared. However chambermaid all have noticed, and this fleeting, but significant grin cruelly her(its) has piqued. "Well as! - in fury has thought ona. - Such ðàñïðåêðàñíîé äàìî÷êå on our sister and watch disgusting, so that? As, as! We after all painfully important! The Halitosis beside us how much splendid charges, yes evening òóâàëåòîâ, yes fourty vapour(pair)s òóôåëåê on order! The Gentlemen Isuse! Beside her so much âñÿêîé îáóâêè, exactly she centipede! Yes else underskirts, yes pants silk in most Paris pointer-threaded! From this we painfully ðàñïðåêðàñíûå, so that? We not that idle time folk, on party are not spoilt, so that? The Gosh perish! We only collect the friends-buddies, ýäàêèõ important yes splendid gentlemen, on splendid evening parties! But if beside poor girl spare pair(vapour)s øòàíèøåê and that íåòó, as we her(its) despise! Immediately âèäàòü: "Ah, breakwater, you such-ñÿêàÿ, me on you and watch-that disgusting!" But by the way if on truth to say, so here on Park-avenue how much is pleased splendid äàì nor on hair not better me! Uzh ya-to know! So you ïîîñòîðîæíåé, äàìî÷êà, not are painfully assigned!" - with spiteful triumph thought the chambermaid. "Oho! If I became to speak all that know! "Burrow, - speaks, - if it is rung, but me íåòó building, ask that to transfer. Mister Jack does not love, ÷òîá his(its) disturbed..." Gentlemen Isuse! Saw enough I on them, all of these do not love, ÷òîá their disturbed. Such beside them order, plants ïîëþáîâíèêîâ yes ïîëþáîâíèö and friend äðóæêå not disturb;prevent, nor about that not ask and disappear all ïðîïàäîì, only not on eye! But try who for twenty minutes to be late to dinner - âðàç begins: where you carried hard, yes that this will if you ýäàê about family forget?.. Yes uzh, - in she âñêîëûõíóëîñü the feeling of the humour, a certain mellow condescension, - wonderfully here live the people! But uzh õîçÿåâà my strange all! The Glory to you, gentlemen, ÿ-òî never õðèñòèàíêà, in true faith well-mannered if has ed, so similar in temple god's, but then..." As often can be with hot nature, ïîäâëàñòíûìè to sudden change the moods, she already repented in íåäàâíåé to flash of the malice, and feeling her(its) have spouted on the other riverbed: "...But then, sees the god, as a whole light of no people äîáðåå! Nor beside who anymore wanted b I serve, only beside mrs Jack. Uzh if you him on shower, nothing for you do not feel sorry. The Halitosis at April twenty years ñðàâíÿåòñÿ, as I beside them in house, and nor reek not âèäàëà, ÷òîá here hungry have not. But after all there is such - each god's day in church go, but ïîäâåðíèñü event - beside decedent with eye copper ãðîø will steal, as, as! No, beside us beside all here straight house native, I this always dialect, - with virtuous self-satisfaction has thought she, - and uzh other what want, but Burrow Fogarti not such person - black ingratitude good õîçÿåâàì will not requite!" All this ïðîíåñëîñü in head and in heart beside both womans with speed of the thoughts. In the interim chambermaid, having put(deliver)ed tray on table near beds, îòîøëà to window, has opened them, has raised the blinds to let in little more light, has corrected the curtains and already filled water in bath - first ed the noise is bored beating stream, afterwards he became muffle;deaden, equal: Burrow mildly ïðèâåðíóëà taps and brought too hot êëîêî÷óùóþ water before necessary temperature. But meantime mrs Jack carelessly, leg on leg óñåëàñü on êðàþ to beds, from high silver coffee-pot has filled in cup hot, coming ferry black coffee and has unfolded the built newspaper on tray. She is a saw coffee, sightless, stopped eye ãëÿäÿ on printed page, person beside she became gloomy, bewilderring, and she mechanical that removed, that newly put on on finger of the right-hand man old-time whimsical ring. This was an old unconscious habit - a faithfull sign enxiety and impatiences or sign that she than-that anxious and is going to with thought to go to quick and resolute action. So and presently, the first blast to pity, curiosity, empathies have transferred the place to need now, immediately something do with Burrow. "Here is where äåâàëîñü the alcohol from spare Frica, - thought ona. - He after all simply furious... Come her this stop. If she continues in the same spirit, in month-other she quite ñîïüåòñÿ... The Gentlemen, what äóðåõà, kill her(its) little! And that this on they find?" - thought mrs Jack. Her(its) charming person has flooded the angry color, eye has got dark from emotion, between brows lay the deep pleat: is solved, she speaks to ãîðíè÷íîé severely, stright and besides not postponing. And immediately she âçäîõíóëà with relief and has felt itself nearly lucky, after all nothing be not so alien her(its) nature, as indecision. She long ago already was aware of impermissible action of the Burrow and from this shone the twinges, but now to itself wondered - that has here varied? But when chambermaid, leaving out of âàííîé, çàìåøêàëàñü, previously than óéòè, as if waited the dictations, and has looked at landlady on-other already, as if heat, even tender, mrs Jack suddenly was embarrassed: spoke, then and there about this has felt sorry and itself wondered, as unsure, nearly guilty sounds her(its) voice. - Yes, Burrow, - not without emotion begin she, quickly removing and newly putting on ring, - me it is necessary with you to speak. - Listen, mrs Jack, - conservatively and respectful îòêëèêíóëàñü that. - Miss Edit asked me beside you to ask, - hastily and not without shyness continued the landlady, èçóìëåííî catch itself on that that begins the reprimand quite not so, what intended. The Burrow waited the most obedient and respectful attention with type. - Can be, you or else anyone from girl saw, beside miss Edit was such gown, - hastily continued mrs Jack, - from that that she has last year brought from Paris. Such is an especial sulphur-green colour, she else put on him(it) with morning, when left on deals. You remember, but? - an äîêîí÷èëà she staccato. - Yes, mem. - a Person beside Burrows was serious and nedoumevayuschee. - I this gown âèäàëà, mrs Jack. - So here is, Burrow, she can not his(its) find. It disappears. - Disappear? - A Chambermaid has looked at landlady in òóïîì surprise. But in that most second, as she has repeated this word, on lip her(its) ìåëüêíóëà treasonous knitting grin and eye has flashed slyly and exultant. Mrs Jack has in a flash understood that all this means. "Clear! She knows, where äåâàëîñü the gown! - has thought ona. - Certainly, knows! His(its) has taken one of the ãîðíè÷íûõ! Shame and shame, not figure I more such tolerates!" - Mrs Jack hardly did not choke with indignations, all in she boilled. - Yes, gown to disappear! Speak you, disappear! - angry has yelled she in person ãîðíè÷íîé, which looked at nose in all glaza. - That with he have occurred? Where it, in your opinion, äåâàëîñü? - has asked she stright. - But I do not know, mrs Jack, - slowly, as if with perplexity has answered Nora. - Probably, miss Edit his(its) has lost. - As this has lost! Do Not speak the foolishnesses! - beside oneself çàêðè÷àëà mrs Dzhek. - As she could his(its) lose? She nowhere left. She all time here. And gown too was here, else week back hunged in closet. As this possible lose the gown? - has impatiently yelled ona. - That, only çàçåâàåøüñÿ, and it itself with you ñëåçåò and somewhere óéäåò? - has stung ona. - Nothing miss Edit did not lose, you this and understand themselves. Someone his(its) has taken. - Yes, ìýì, - submissively agreed Nora. - Here is and I so think. Faithfully, anyone be here withdrewed while you was not a building, and has dragged ego. - She ãîðåñòíî has swung golovoy. - I you so shall say, today straight and do not know, to whom believe, - an èçðåêëà she nravouchitelino. - One my girlfriend, she serves beside important people, so she told yesterday only me, comes to him some, like mops will sell, sexes to wash, and here is persuades, - I, breakwater, shall show, as your sexes to wash; and such, girlfriend speaks, glorious ïàðåíåê, with type such ÷èñòåíüêèé, love;like. Here is her-god, speaks, - I you in accuracy of her(its) word shall transfer, mrs Jack, - as they me after have said, what he beside they have done, I straight óøàì its has not believed. Be he me native brother, I and that so did not wonder, speaks. So, understand themselves... - About, gentlemen, Burrow! - Mrs Jack angrily, impatiently otmahnulasi. - That for rubbish you carry?

And uzh if to us climb thief, so not for the sake of some one charge, understand themselves. The Thief has taken the money or valuables, anyway anything valuable that possible to sell. - But I you here is that shall say, - has objected Nora. - Remember, for that week came the master to repair the refrigerator. I else then has said Mey, does not like he me, dialect. Some, dialect, beside it person bad. You, dialect, for him supervise, therefore as... - A Burrow!! The Voice of the landlady has sounded so sharply that chambermaid has in a flash bitten the language, quickly ãëÿíóëà on it and çàìîë÷àëà, VWVturn crimson from fury and shame. Mrs Jack with hot resentment looked at it in stress and finally has not born. - Listen! - has yelled she, beside oneself from yarosti. - simply squalor, as you all itself conduct! We always so well to you pertained, but you... - She has spoken soften, with pity: - In all NEW YORK no other building, where with ãîðíè÷íûìè addressed so well, as with you. - So realy I do not understand, mrs Jack, - willingly, nigh only was merrily called back Burrow, but glance her(its) remained ugryumo-vrazhdebnym. - I same dialect.

But as! - raging, with zest âñêðè÷àëà Nora. - Or, can, I do not know that you for people - mister Jack, and miss Edit, and miss Elma? Yes I for the sake of you although presently in small cake to hurt oneself. - Nobody you do not ask to hurt oneself in small cake, - has impatiently interrupted mrs Dzhek. - a Right, Burrow, you all much easy live. And completely you do not happen to to hurt oneself in small cake. Here is we and truth hurt oneself, we-that works, as ïðîêëÿòûå! - with zest âîñêëèêíóëà ona. - Each morning six days at week we go on work... we itself do not feel sorry... - So realy I do not understand, mrs Jack! - has hastily inserted Nora. - I zh only yesterday's day spoke Mey... - Ah, yes what me deal that you there spoke Mey! - Mgnovenie mrs Jack strictly looked at ãîðíè÷íóþ, the whole red from anger. Has Afterwards spoken the ñïîêîéíåå: - See here, Burrow. We always you all gave all, what you nor have asked. The Salary beside you not small, for such work nowhere so much do not pay. You live here not a bit not worse, than our family, after all you beautifully know that... - But as! - not giving landlady äîãîâîðèòü, with feeling has pronounced the Burrow. - I beside you like either as not in helping. You with me on-good, like as I from your family too. - Oh, what rubbish! - got free beside mrs Dzhek. - do Not disturb me. In my family each, except realy my äî÷êè Elmy, for one day haves time to to remake more deals, than any one of you for safe week! You here as cheese in butter;oil;grease ride... Yes, as cheese in butter;oil;grease! - has repeated she with amusing gravity, sowed;sown and since minute silently looked at ãîðíè÷íóþ, compressing and unclenching fist; the awesome small dynamo-machine, she whole trembled from resentment. And immediately her(its) has once again blasted: - About, gentlemen, Burrow, as it is woke;waked we for you anything felt sorry! We never you nor in than did not refuse! The Deal not in that, how much cost(stand)s this gown. You beautifully know, miss Edit has returned his(its) any one of you, was necessary only go and ask! But so... oh, this unbearably! Unbearably!.. - has yelled she in blast vozmuscheniya. - Really beside you quite shame no - it is necessary, so enter with people, which always were you friends! - As, as, in your opinion, this I guilty?! - tremble voice âûêðèêíóëà Nora. - I beside you how much years has lived, but you on I think? Yes start;put me shift to the right hand chop off if I beside who from you when although united button shall take! In the heat of the moment she and âïðÿìü has stretched the hand, is woke;waked substituting her(it) under axe. - Here is as before the god! - has solemnly declared she and, having noticed that landlady wants to speak, continued with else big zharom. - Not âèäàòü me ñïàñåíüÿ on that light if I when although needle although ãðîø beside who from you vzyala. - She so raged that already itself not pomnila. - break me thunder! All saint to sworn! Than want! The Soul my ïîêîéíèöû full-grown... - Oh, Burrow! - with pity âûìîëâèëà mrs Jack, has swung the head, was unscrewed and, in spite of the whole its annoyance, instinctively çàñìåÿëàñü, so absurdly-ïðåóâåëè÷åííî sounded these vows. "No, with her to speak impossible, - bitterly, contemptuous-derisive thought mrs Dzhek. - Sworns and swears on all harmonies and âîîáðàæàåò that this possible all correct. Else! Napietsya whisky Frica, but will afterwards go in church - although by crawling äîïîëçåò, - and îêðîïèò itself holy water, and will listen to the sermon moreover nor ñëîâå÷êà will not understand, and return with net soul, wholly itself complacent... and herewith beautifully knows that someone from girl takes the someone else belongings!.. The Strange piece all these rites and vows, - was thought by her dalishe. - Exactly and truth wizardry some. They create the resemblance to lifes for people, beside which no its lifes no. And resemblance of the truth - for one, did not be able find some truth for itself itself. In them these people find the love, beauty, never fading truth, salvation showers - all, on that we hope in lifes and for the sake of what suffer. All that us, rest, is given price our shelters, heavy works, emotional torments and anguish, these people get so easy, simply miraculously, - derisive thought she, - cost(stand)s him only to sworn "saving on that light" and "soul ïîêîéíèöû full-grown"! -...The God witness, and all ñâÿòèòåëè, and itself ïðåñâÿòàÿ virgo! - ñîëîâüåì was poured meantime chambermaid, and, when these word äîøëè before consciousness of the landlady, mrs Jack has newly grown old was turned to her and has said softly, nearly pleading: - Goodness sake, Burrow, wake reasonable! That sense to call in witnesses all saint and virgo Marie and go in church if afterwards you come home and with all might pull the whisky of mister Jack? And else defraud the people, which always were you the most best friends! - with bitterness âîñêëèêíóëà she. But here in sullen and bewildered glance ãîðíè÷íîé has once again flashed up the unkind fire, and mrs Jack continued a little not with tear: - Well try to reason sane! Really you nor on that best not capable? Why you come to me drunk and so itself conduct, when you nothing from us did not see, except good? The Voice her(its) trembled from pity and anger, she was is deeply insulted - and that was not simply personal insult. She seemed, chambermaid has betrayed that in lifes must be high and untouchable: probity and unity, faith in human feeling - that it is necessary reverently to guard and honour always and everywhere. - That zh, ìýì, - has said the Burrow and òðÿõíóëà dark-haired head, - I zh dialect if this you on I think... - Yes no, Burrow. Hvatit. - In voice mrs Jack were now heard sadness, weariness, dejection, however he has sounded firmly and resolutely. She mildly ìàõíóëà rukoy. - Can go. I presently nothing else it is necessary. High âñêèíóâ head, chambermaid hard at a walk moved to door, her(its) petrified çàòûëîê and rectified back ÿñíåå any words issued the feeling insulted to innocences and ate restrained fury. On threshold she paused, red for handle door and through shoulder has inflicted the last blow: - About that charge miss Edit... - She once again òðÿõíóëà golovoy. - If it did not get lost, so, faithfully, find. I so think, can, which of girl has taken him(it) on lend, put on different, understand? And she has shuttered the door for itself. The Half an hour after mister Frederick Jack with number "Gerald òðèáþí" under mouse passed on corridor. The Mood he had excellent. The Flash of the annoyance because of bell that has woke;waked him(it) amongst nights, was already forgotten. He ëåãîíüêî knocked in door æåíèíîé to bedrooms and has waited. No answer. He ïðèñëóøàëñÿ and knocked once again, ïîòèøå. - You here? - an îêëèêíóë he. Has Opened the door and, inaudible stepping, entered. The Wife already absorbed was the most first from their own matutinal deals. She sat the back to door for written table that stood in far-ends of the room, between windows; on the left on table lay the piles a count, business and the personal letters, on the right - revealling cheque-book. Mrs Jack anxious something wrote. While husband crossed the room, she has postponed the feather, quick motion has drenched the note and already was going to her(its) pack and put in envelope, when he has spoken. - Good morning, - has said he tender and a little derisive, as usually address to one, has not noticed your appearances. She flinched and turned. - À, how are you, Fric! - merrily âîñêëèêíóëà ona. - Well, as you, but? He nearly solemnly bent over, fleeting, friendly has kissed her(it) in cheek, was rectified, unconsciously has mildly straightened the shoulder and has pulled down the sleeve and sexes of the coat: suddenly some inadvertent ñêëàäî÷êà breaks his(its) perfect representativeness? The Wife has in a flash looked over him(it) with heads before sing, valued each triviality his(its) present-day suit - a shoe, carryings, excellent cover trousers and coat, tie and modest ãàðäåíèþ in ïåòëèöå... Was it Afterwards given onward, has undersetted the chin by palm, the whole personified attention, and watched now mellow-bewildered. "I see, you it is necessary me am dared, - clear spoke her(its) lico. - That this I such has done?" Mister Jack placed the hands on the hips, mildly placed the legs and has ed on wife with pretended sternness, for which, however, was drafty the merry äîáðîäóøèå. - Well, what is a? - impatiently âîñêëèêíóëà she. Instead of answer mister Jack has stretched her newspaper, which before this minute hid for back, has unfolded and has knocked on page to index fingers. - You this saw? - No. But that here? - A Review Elliota in "Gerald òðèáþí". Want to listen? - Want. honour;respect. That he there writes? Mister Jack became in pose, ïîøóðøàë newspaper, frowned the brow, îòêàøëÿëñÿ with affected importance and, trying under affected derisive tone to hide the sincere pleasure and triumph, began to read aloud: - "For this new show mister SHalberg has put in action whole arsenal inherent his(its) talent thinned ðåæèññåðñêèõ acceptance. He brilliantly all have calculated, has found the exact rhythm and measure - each word, staging, each gesture ideal match with íåîáû÷àéíî áîãàòûì tone, very reserved and therefore particularly convincing actor's performance, - nothing like we, probably, in this season did not yet see. Beside it special grant eloquent - about, truly eloquent! - a silences, which speaks incomparably more, than deafening, but nearly always meaningless êðèêëèâîñòü, dominating on many modern scene. All are this your diligent columnist has a pleasure to repeat with delight, far leaving for frames usual. It is Necessary to add that mister SHalberg has opened us on behalf of Montgomery Mortimera beautiful young talent, the best from all, what us made happy the present season. And, finally... - Mister Jack with importance îòêàøëÿëñÿ, ïîòðÿñ hand so newspaper commanding çàøóðøàëà, and over it with ïðåçàáàâíûì by expression has ed on wife. And continued: - And, finally, with immeasurable help miss Ester Jack he has presented us perfect, unostentatious production, which ñîãðåëà old bones writing these line by heat, what they on Brodvee long ago already did not feel. For three acts of this play miss Jack created three sets the most expressive window dressing, they have exceed all that äîíûíå is executed was her in theatre. Here is talent, which verily does not know itself equal. Your modest, but diligent columnist is deeply run away that exactly she belongs to the first place amongst artist of the modern theatre". Here mister Jack to fell silent and, âñêèíóâ head, with facetious solemnity has watched over newspaper on wife. - You, seems, something have said? - About, gentlemen! - an âîñêëèêíóëà she, dare, person her(its) has flooded the color glad volneniya. - No, you heard? This that zh such, ovation? - She comic, deliberately jewish gesture âñïëåñíóëà rukami. - That else he there writes, but? - And with greedy impatience bent over to husband. - "That is why happens to to regret, - continued to read mister Jack, - that brilliant grant miss Jack does not get the best food, on which he could itself to show, than play, which we saw yesterday in Arlingtonskom theatre. Ibo, as nor regrettable, we have to acknowledge that itself play this..." - Well, ladno. - Mister Jack has torn off reading on ïîëóñëîâå and has postponed gazetu. - Further, itself understand, so sebe. - He has mildly shaken plechami. - Betwix and between. In general, play he ðàçíåñ. But what insolent person! - an âñêðè÷àë he with comic negodovaniem. - That this for focuses about miss Ester Jack? But I nor under than that? Why me is not returned äàíü respects, I despite all your husband? Know, - continued he, - I wanted too to occupy some small town although on gallery. Of course... - Now he for dence forest ÿçâèòåëüíîñòè has spoke deliberately indifferent tone, îáðàùàÿñü in emptiness, as if is there found certain invisible listener, but itself he whole only outside nablyudateli. -...Of course, this whole only her(its) husband. That he such? Pf! - Here orator derisive and contemptuous fyrknul. - Whole only business man, which not at all has deserved to in wife he was got such remarkable woman. That he understands in art? Can he her(its) value? Can he although something understand in her(its) work? Can he say... what áèøü is there said? - has interrupted itself mister Jack, has peeked in newspaper and has newly read off affected pathos: - "perfect, unostentatious production, which ñîãðåëà old bones by heat, what they on Brodvee long ago already did not feel". - Yes, certainly, - has said she carelessly-condescending, as if splendid phrases of the reviewer have not caused beside it no other feeling though on person her(its) is else seen was that these praisings to her priyatny. - Funny and miserable, truth? Terrible òðåïà÷è these jpurnalists. Have Bored they me. - "Here is talent, which verily does not know itself equal!" - continued to quote mister Dzhek. - Rather well, but?! Where her(its) spouse to invent such! No uzh, - an âûêðèêíóë he with contemptuous laughter, ïîìîòàë head and has swung from parties aside plump qualifying palicem. - Beside her(its) spouse on this wit comes short! Where him! He whole only business man! He not capable her(its) value! And suddenly, to great amazing mrs Jack, on eye his(its) have emerged the tears and flow spectacles have suddenly fogged up. Bending over onward, she inquisitive looked at husband, watched with scare, sympathetically and ïðîòåñòóþùå, and, however, already not has for the first time felt that there is in lifes something strange, inconceivable, what her never managed neither to understand, nor express. After all this unexpected, groundless blast feeling on the part of her(its) always reserved husband, certainly, at all is not connected with newspaper review. And his(its) distress from that that reviewer names her(its) "miss" - only fun, playoff. But indeed he always rave rejoices her(its) success. With sharp, no word not expressible pity (To to whom? To that? This she and itself not znala.) she has suddenly visualized the gigantic stone gorges in town centre, where husband will conduct whole day; there in ãîðÿ÷êå and hurry, in unceasing whirlpool of any deals his(its) representative and flowering congeners will become active to shake him hand or slam on shoulder, will become to speak: "See here, saw you today "Gerald òðèáþí"? Read that is there written about your wife? Here is whom you, probably, are proud of! congratulate!" She seemed, she sees, as under these praising turns crimson from pleasure him(it) and without that rosy person, as he tries èçîáðàçèòü condescending smile and answers as if carelessly anything like: "Yes, I as it is woke;waked saw, about she there mentionned. But, know, me this not so uzh worries. For us this not news. Her(its) often praise, we already got accustomed". But at night, returning home, he ïåðåñêàæåò her each word, - and though will pretend nearly indifferent, is woke;waked all this his(its) only amuses, she-that knows, he infinitely complacent and pleased. And he that strong is proud of her that knows: wife these áîãàòûõ people, mostly beautiful jewesses, so mercenary in their own searching for whole the most fashionable art in the world, as their husband - in shoulder strap for commercial advantage, will too read about her(its) success, and ïîñïåøàò make sure in him their own eye, and will afterwards become to discuss him(it) in luxurious bedroom, where hot briliance of the lights will add their beautiful voluptuous persons else òîëèêó worrying erotic piquancy. All this in a flash ïðîíåñëîñü beside it in thought at type thick, turning gray well-groomed men, whose eye suddenly, on unbeknownst her reason, were filled tear, but lips ãîðåñòíî became filled with air, exactly beside offended child. The Heart her(its) çàõëåñòíóëà indiscribable pity and tenderness, and she with zest âîñêëèêíóëà: - Yes that you, Fric! You know, for me all quite not so! I nothing such in lifes did not think and did not speak! You know, how do I it is important that you liked all that I do! For me your opinion signifies in one hundred times greater, than the whole this newspaper ïèñàíèíà! Yes and that they there understand? - has mumbled she with contempt. In the interim, mister Jack has removed the spectacles, ïðîòåð, energetically âûñìîðêàëñÿ, âîäðóçèë spectacles on place and now, having bent head, with amusing diligence has closed the eye by plump hand and has hastily spoken, having lowered voice and as if èçâèíÿÿñü: - Yes-yes, I know! So much for nothing! I simply ïîøóòèë! He ñìóùåííî smiled. Once again noisy âûñìîðêàëñÿ, insult ñîøëà from his(its) person, and he has spoke simply and at ease, as nor in than did not can be: - Well, since your mood? Complacent you first-night? - Probably, yes, - unsure has answered mrs Jack; in she suddenly budged the dim discontent - an accustomed sensation at hour, when work is finished and nearly unbearable tension of the last days before first-night already pozadi. - I seem, all passed rather well, - continued ona. - As on-òâîåìó? And window dressings my like íåäóðíû - as you will say? - has greedily asked ona. - Though no, - then and there remembered suddenly she on-baby humbly and as if about itself, - probably, they the most unexceptional. Far him before my best work, but? - A Question has sounded impatiently and demanding. - You know my opinion, - has said mister Dzhek. - I spoke already you. Nobody you and in soles does not be fit. Tvoi window dressings - best that there is in this presentation! - has firmly declared on. - All rest on ten goals below, yes-yes! On ten goals! - And has added the ñïîêîéíåå: - I think, you pleased that with this is finished. In present season more after all nothing not will, faithfully? - Yes, only here is I else promised Ayrin Morgenstayn suits for her(its) new ballet. And this morning it is necessary again to the cue-who from àðëèíãòîíöåâ, else something, - óíûëî the äîêîí÷èëà she. - As, again! Last night all looked fine, really you discontented? What you do not yet be enough? - But what, on-òâîåìó, can come short? This eternal history! Always one and ditto! The End this is not seen! Since around packed oslo and dunces, how much him nor explain, nothing do not do, as it is necessary. In this whole trouble. She-god, this below me! - got free beside it from depth dushi. - In vain I threw painting. Sometimes I simply vomit! - with annoyance has yelled ona. - shame and shame - spend itself on such people. - What "such"? - Well, you itself know that for folk in theatre, - has mumbled mrs Dzhek. - Certainly, there is and costing people... but, her-god, majority - such gunk! "But saw you me in that dug, yes read, as I praise in another, yes not truth, here is in this I play terrific", - has angrily mimiced ona. - a Right word, Fric, their listen, so will think, theatre only then and exists that they shown off on scene and started all dust in eye! But after all better theatre no nothing on light! Here possible create such miracle, the whole shower of the person to overwind, cost(stand)s only to want! This such power, other such in the world no, but spend her(it) on duck soup! Simply shame and disgrace! She was conceived, was silent the minute and has added grew old: - In general, I pleased that with this production is finished. sting, I nothing else wit to do. If knew how, red for the other work. The Honored word! This I have bored. This below me, - has said she simply and minute-other sad watched somewhere in space. Afterwards she is alarmed, anxious frowned, ïîøàðèëà in wooden ÿùè÷êå on table, has taken the cigarette and çàêóðèëà. Has Gusty got up and was taken small øàæêàìè to go from corner in corner, knitting brow and hard delaying; as all women(woman), who smoke not often, she did this with charming awkwardness. - Interesting, get;receive I orders on some production in following season, - mumbled she about itself, as if already having forgotten about muzhe. - Interesting, will beside me again work. While with me else nobody did not speak, - gloomy äîêîí÷èëà she. - Well if you all this has bored, so I have said, íå÷åãî and be agitated, - not without irony has noticed mister Jack. And has added: - Cost(stand)s be spoilt earlier time? With these word he bent over to wife, once again fluently, friendly has kissed her(it) in cheek, ëåãîíüêî has scutched on shoulder, was turned and left. 12. In TOWN CENTRE Mister Jack has listened to the complaints a wife attentively and seriously, as invariably listened all tales about her(its) works, test and adventures in theatre. Ibo he not only extraordinarily was proud of her(its) talent and success, - him(it) additionally, as nearly all his(its) áîãàòûõ ñîïëåìåííèêîâ, particularly one,, like him, all their own days conducted in magic, fairy-tale, fantastic world of the exchange play, powerful attracted the briliance theatrical scaffolding. Long fourty years for the first time since he has for the first time arrived in NEW YORK, business career all further away him(it) from more calm, sanctified tradition and, as he now seemed, boring household and public mode to lifes, full briliance and revelry, worrying all new pleasure, yes else ed by sensation çûáêîñòè and dangers. But that life, what he knew in the childhood and adolescence, life his(its) native, which here is already one hundred years kept the private bank in small provincial borough, - seemed him now unbearably stodgy. Not only building and in society all went from year per annum one and same, once for ever çàâåäåííûì rather, which not much-that varied the mutual related visits, but also activity of the modest small bank itself, careful deals on triviality were, as it was thought him now, measly and uninteresting. À in NEW YORK he acted all rash, rose all above, nor on step went abreast of the most splendid achievements this frantic city, which all grew around, raged all louder and indefatigable. Yes and in that world, where he conducted their own days, he with enjoyment breathed the full bosom intoxicating air, in which was something burning, èñêðîìåòíîå, quite as in íî÷íîì theatrical world, where veins actors. On áóäíÿì each day exactly in nine mornings mister Jack raced in the centre, to itself in office, carried away shining mechanical projectile, which controlled the chauffeur - personification of one of the the most typical verges of the city NEW YORK. The Chauffeur turned the bagel, and çåìëèñòîå person his(its) frowned, fine lips wried the trouble, biting grin, dark eye unnatural shone, exactly under the action of strong drug; seemed (yes so it and was), this person - essence by some person of the sort, created by frantic city for some person integer. Seemed, this dimly-pale flesh, like rafts of a millions of the people in sulphur hat and with such lifeless sulphur by persons, is stamped from one and same material, from the same sulphur of the mass, as the whole city, all sidewalks, buildings, towers, tunnels and bridges. And in the vein him(it), seemed, does not flow and pulses the blood, but dryly crackles same electric current, which äâèæèì whole city. This clear is seen was in each motion, in each action of the chauffeur. The Sinister figure his(its) was biased on bagel, quick glance thrashed about from parties aside, hands handily and exactly rule by powerful machine; the enormous car was obediently worn out beside most curbs, cut the corners, slithered âïëîòíóþ past other machines, outstripped, recoilled, dodged, with killing audacity has ïðîëåòàë VWXbe drafty narrow bright spots, improbable slots in general ñïëîøíîì flow, - and clear was that in all essence of the chauffeur seethe the âðåäîíîñíûå of power, assonant that mad energy that fights in artery of the city. Yes, when mister Jack here is so rushed in town centre this subject, master as if with else big pleasure anticipated the deal, which waited ahead of. Pleasantly, there was sit near by chauffeur and stake out him. The Eye beside this small that watched slyly, insidious, as if beside cats, that became hard, impervious, as basalt. The Skinny person quickly turned round that to the right, that to the left and that flashed up the çëîðàäíûì by triumph, when, deftly âûâåðíóâøèñü, he outstripped other machine and unlucky adversary swore the âäîãîíêó, that was distorted by hate, when itself he showerred the swearing other chauffeur or çàçåâàâøèõñÿ pedestrian. - An Easy money, you! - roared on. - SHevelisi, ñóêèí son! Where quiet snarlled he, çàâèäåâ awesome figure some hateful police, but about the other, which turned out to be to him condescending, edge of the cruel lips spoke the master with gloomy approval. - They, know, too not all in a row ñó÷üè children, - strained he fine, some tin-plate golosom. - Get and decent. The Halitosis that, - he short twitched the head aside police, which nod missed him(it), - that - a lad good. YA-to know, as! He me kinsfolk on wife. From unnatural âðåäîíîñíîé of the energy that was felt in chauffeur, the whole surrounding world began to seem the master ghostly, as if on scene. He forgot that, as a great deal ensemble people, he at òðåçâîì simply, workaday light of the day goes on work, and he seemed, is woke;waked he and chauffeur - clever, mighty - two together triumph over integer by light; and the whole city - monstrous stone ãðîìàäà, improbable chaos of the motion, web êèøàùèõ folk of the streets - introduced him only èñïîëèíñêîé window dressing, on background which acts he, mister Jack. And all this together - a sensation to dangers, fights, tricks, the authorities, èçâîðîòëèâîñòè and victories, but the main, sensation its superiority - added the quips a pleasure, with which he went to the centre, on work, moreover, overfilled the intoxicating joy. But febrile world exchange gamble, in which he acted and which now also found theatrical áðîñêîñòü and êðàñî÷íîñòü, everywhere and in all rested in ditto feeling superiority. This was a superiority of the people elected, risen on crowd, èáî was expected that they are vested by special mysterious scent - they are elected to live in luxury, not knowing heavy labour, not producing nothing palpable, and cost(stand)s him only to nod the head, stir the finger - and fairy-tale grow their incoms, fabled increase their wealth. So it was in that time, and therefore-that mister Jack (and many, many others, èáî one, did not belong to itself to count;calculate;list lucky èçáðàííèêîâ, that they envied), therefore-that him then seemed not only natural, but even natural that all society overhand äîíèçó is built on inequality and unfairness. Mister Jack knew, to example that one of his(its) chauffeur constantly his(its) ripoffs. Knew that all count for benzine, butter, rubber cameras and repair - blown, since chauffeur with owner of the garage in collusion and that pays him considerable percent with receiptses. Mister Jack was aware of these machination, and they his(its) not a bit did not touch. Probably, even amused. Beautifully knowing of fraud, he knew also that can afford this small loss, and, strange image, from this only fixed the sensation of power and confidence. À in the other minute he indifferently shrugged. "So what zh such? - thought on. - Don't care here nothing will not do. All of these cheat. Not he, so other". Exactly in the same way he knew that somebody from ãîðíè÷íûõ in his(its) house not away "to take on lend" master's thing, but afterwards "forgets" her(its) return. Knew also that other police ranks and êðÿæèñòûå fireman a little not all free time from services conduct beside it on kitchen or in ãîñòèíîé for servant. And that these guards of the public order and tranquillities each evening the most exquisite dish help oneself on-tsarist from his(its) table that their indulge even previously, than will service his(its) family and his(its) guests, and to their service - his(its) best whisky and the most rare blame. But âñïûëèë he only once, when turned out to be that for one evening èñïàðèëñÿ a little not whole box excellent irish whisky (the rusty streaks on bottle proved;proven that he and truth profit because of ocean, and uzh much exasperating was lose such rare drink), in general avoided all this silence. Once in a while about such event with him çàãîâàðèâàëà wife. "Right, Fric, - spoke she quizzical and ïðîòåñòóþùå, - these girls afford to overcharge. In my opinion, this simply terribly, as you consider? That us with them to do?" - but he in answer only condescending smiled, shrugged and divorced the hand. His(its) family nor in than does not need, there is roof on head, all ñûòû, VWVput on shoes and dress;clad, is enough and îáñëóãè and amusements, and all this cost(stand)s the greater money, but that considerable share their is spent in vain and that servant simply his(its) ripoffs, mister Jack not a bit did not distress. He about this and did not think - inherently, realy not same occurs from day to day in the world of the big business and in high financial sphere? And this was not affected indifference, he did not pretend careless, as person, whose world turned out to be on galley proof of the catastrophe and here is-here is collapses. Opposite. He condescending tolerated the profligate whimsies all, who depended on his(its) bounties, not therefore that distrusted in toughness of its position, but therefore that firmly believed: it firm. He was run away that his(its) world is woven from steel threads and grandiose pyramid gamble not only not to crush, but will steadily grow. But signifies, careless action of his(its) servants - simply triviality, which does not cost(stand) attention. On essences, mister Jack nearly nor in than did not differ from ten thousand other áîãàòûõ businessmen. In that time in that city he was persisting rara avis if did not believe reverently in toughness of its condition and positions in society. Ibo all these people suffered if it is pleased, professional disease - as if victims íåêîåãî mass hypnosis, they did not heed to own feeling and did not acknowledge obvious. Irritating irony of the fate: these people created the world, in which all value were false and illusory, however, bewitched fatal illusion, they âîîáðàæàëè itself the most acute, most òðåçâûìè and practical people on light. They considered itself not at all player, obsessed zeal deceptive exchange gamble, but brilliant âåðøèòåëÿìè of the great deals, and had no doubt that daily and momently "feel, what the pulse of the country" fights. And when, looking over on parties, they around saw the incalculable manifestations to unfairness, fraud and self-interests, that firmly believed that this inevitably that "uzh so is made world". It Was Considered by truism that any person, whether man or woman, for determined price possible to buy. And if, happened, one of these òðåçâûõ practical äåëüöîâ tried to prove that so-and-so has entered anyway not from the most net egoism and self-seeking payment, but on other reason that he has preferred to suffer itself, only insure from sufferings that, who loves, or turned out to be person faithfull and dedicated, and his(its) it is impossible neither buy, nor sell simply therefore that he honest and is believed on nature its, - an acute business man politely, but derisive smiled and shrugged. - Well, - spoke on. - YA-to thought, you will reason sane. Let's better speak of thing, in which we with you both understand. Such people not capable were understand that this exactly they untrue judge about human nature. They were proud of its "hardness", stability and shrewdness, which helped him peacefully to tolerate so badly made world. Only several later move event has graphically shown him, as "hardness" and shrewdness their ãðîøà broken do not cost(stand). When created by them imaginative world ëîïíóë beside them on eye, like soapy bubble, many of them, not in power to peer into person of severe reality, started itself pool in forehead or were thrown on bridge from windows of their own offices god news with what floor. À amongst one, was able to outlive the catastrophe, many that were previously sure of itself, well-groomed fop and çäîðîâÿêàìè, have at once faded, were lowered, before time îäðÿõëåëè and have fallen into the childhood. But all this was else ahead of. This was inevitably, but they about this did not suspect, èáî are accustomed were not to acknowledge obvious. Then, in medium of the October 1929, their self-confidence and self-satisfaction reached the unexcelled heights. Looking over on parties, they, like actor on scene, saw that all around forgery, - but they have accustomed itself to take the forgery and cheating as something normal and natural, and therefore opening this only intensified joy of the lifes for them. Most of all they loved to entertain each other tale about human äâóëè÷èè, treachery and fraud in all type and manifestations. They interrupting one another with rapture reported on that to each other, as exciting ïëóòóþò and practice fraud their chauffeurs, ãîðíè÷íûå, cook and illegal suppliers alcohol, they verily relished these underhand tricks - so other tell about trick of the loved cat or dogs. The Considerable success used the similar anecdotes and for eaten by table. The Ladies, listenning such, âåñåëèëèñü with all might, did the type that simply not in power to restrain its gaiety, and under the end declared, to example: "No... this simply... ve--êîëåïíî!" (this was spoken slowly, with feeling, as if told event uzh before that ñìåøîí that not even it is believed), or: "You only think!" (followed the blast of the laughter), or: "No, can not be! You this ñî÷èíèëè themselves!" (here lady even yelped from laughter, - however, mildly, wholly exquisite). They spoke all that as one should to speak, when will listen to "amusing anecdote", èáî life their became such empty and fresh that they forgot to laugh from showers. Beside Frederick Jack was too kept in stock its anecdote, and he so well and so often his(its) told that this history îáîøëà all best çàñòîëüÿ NEW YORK. For several years before that, when he else veins in old house in Uest-ñàéäå, wife has somehow made big acceptance - she each year collected all, who had that or other relation to theatre. Acceptance managed on glory, crowd actor has filled the rooms, all ââîëþ ated and saws, paying tribute generous óãîùåíèþ, as suddenly, in most peak of revelry, with streets äîíåññÿ the âîé police ñèðåí and growing snarl íåñóùèõñÿ on mad velocity of the machines. The Siren all approached, mister Jack and guests clustered beside windows, and here is before house stopped enormous àâòîôóðãîí and on side his(its) çàìåðëè two motorcycles, in their rider mister Jack has immediately heard police - an admirer their own ãîðíè÷íûõ; from van poured else police, the total effort they have unloaded the enormous barrel and have solemnly rolled her(it) on sidewalk on porch and further, in house. Turned out to be, barrel was a packed beer. The Police body has contributed her(its) as its share óãîùåíèÿ (èáî when family Jack took the friends, ãîðíè÷íûì and cook too was permitted to make in kitchen lively party for police and fireman). Mister Jack, touched such friendly generosity, wanted âîçíàãðàäèòü their trouble and pay for beer, but one of police has said him: - Yes you do not worry, master. Okay. Say on truth, this hogwash we were got çàäàðîì, understandable? Yes-yes! - with feeling has confirmed on. - His(its) like what have presented. Well yes! Zamesto brockerage, - delicate has explained he, - therefore as we take care, ÷òîá his(its) delivered in the best type. Understandable? Mister Jack has understood and afterwards fairly often told this history. After all he and âïðàâäó was in well, generous person, and action of these people âîñõèòèë and has touched him(it) though they drank once fill to his(its) account year so on these money possible was buy not one barrel beer, but, probably, a hundred. And although he could not not separate dominating around false, theatrical-false looks at life, heart he had such good and generous, what meet not often. This came to light once again and once again on each step. He ready was in a flash come on help one, has met with disaster, - and helped constantly: actor, who has changed the good luck, old maids, building hopeless plans of the renovation of the theatrics, friends, relative, aged servant. But into the bargain to the whole he was gentile, loving father and generously showerred the gift its single offspring. And, as nor strangely this in person, around which whole world, febrile worrisome and unstable, continually changed its look, Frederick Jack persistently held one of the äðåâíåéøèõ tradition of its folk: he unshaksble believed in sanctity and imperishable toughness of the household tie. Due to this-that faith, contrary to mad rate to town life, threatenning overturn any abutment, he and óõèòðèëñÿ to save its home centre in wholenesses. Exactly these tie whole reliable connected him(it) with wife. The Spouses long ago already consented to that that each wave to live in one's own way, but always tried the total effort to save the family. They this manages. And just so mister Jack pertained to wife respectfully yours and genuine tenderness. Such a was this strong, neat, perfectly clad businessperson, which each morning rushed in office drunk from velocity, hardened city chauffeur. And in some hundred yard from that place, where he âûëåç from its machine, ten thousand others, much with him similar on cloth and look, with the same notion approximately and glance and even, can be, so good, condescending and tolerant, exactly in the same way came out of their own quick as lightning of the powerful machines and entered at new day, full âûìûñëîâ, smoke and fury. Having Found oneself at the door their own skyscraper, they took off on lift in îáëàêà, where fitted their offices. There they bought, sold, concluded the deals in atmosphere, saturated madness. The Madness breathed all around, the whole day through, and they themselves this felt. About yes, they beautifully this noticed. But aloud about this was not spoken. Such a uzh was one of the particularities of that time that people saw and felt the madness everywhere and in all, but never about he did not mention, never confessed in him even to themselves. 13. BACK ENTRANCE Enormous ìíîãîêâàðòèðíûé house, where lived the family Jack, was not from that buildings, due to which so amazes and shocks the imagination an island Manhattan, not from number âçìûâàþùèõ in îáëàêà concrete tower, whose wall, like vertical bluff with top, from one type which spins the head, as if belongs to not ground, but íåáåñàì. Exactly these ãðîìàäû in a flash introduce the åâðîïåéöó under one thoughts about NEW YORK, but when to he approaches the seagoing steamship, appear before eye poured on deck passenger in the whole its suppressing, inhuman beauty, weightless rising on water. No, that was a building quite other sort. That was... the building as building. Nowhere near not beautiful, on commanding - such îáúåìèñòàÿ, solid, heavy ãðîìàäèíà. With view as if utter enormous cube from stone and ïðîêîï÷åííîãî by town smoke of the brick, perforated even rows of the multiple windows. The Building this occupied the whole quarter Manhattan. But one, got inside, found that cube this as it were hollow - is in the middle found big square courtyard lying in two planes: the lower part, on most medium, - sprinkled sand even platform, but as it were step above with four parties are flowerbeds, and this floral frame of the square borders outside broad, a track âûëîæåííàÿ by brick. For track on all ÷åòûðåì parties of the courtyard stretched the arches, this reminded the enormous galley. In her on equal distances friend from friend are located were a door - a multiple entrance(approach)s. The Building seemed such commanding, such enormous and strong, as if âûòåñàííîå in this eternal, it was a part most island. But no. Indeed, the huge building penetrated èçíóòðè moves and cells, in èñïîëèíñêîì óëüå as if. She stood on powerful steel pile, âîçíîñÿùèõñÿ on underground emptiness and resting in èçîãíóòûå arcs. Her(its) nerves, bones and tendons left far âãëóáü, below bridge and sidewalk, in hidden world high-rise cellar, but else below, in depths èñòåðçàííîé s, escaped the railway tunnel. Only at minute, when inhabitants of this majestic building felt tremor underfoot, they recalled that adown races the train - sparkling bark expresses arrive and speed away away anytime day and nights. Only then somebody with ãîðäåëèâûì pleasure speculated about that, before what clever NEW YORK has overturned the order, hard and immutable for the whole rest America: only here, in NEW YORK, became the mode to live beside "most rail" and even on them. In that october evening, shortly before seed, oldster John, which worked in this building under one of the cargo lift, trudged on Park-avenue, being going to çàñòóïèòü on night-duty. He already ïîäîøåë to house and ready was enter, but here his(its) îêëèêíóë of some person of the years thirty, obviously been enough spare. - Hey, buddy... Impudent address has sounded as if flattering, but was heard in him and some dangerous âêðàä÷èâîñòü, and oldster has angrily reddened. He has accelerated the step, but drunk has grasped him(it) for sleeve and has said undertone: - Wake so äîáðåíüêè, spare me... - No uzh! - in heart cut starik. - Nothing I can not you to spare. I you double senior and the whole age work, gratis never nothing do not get! Here is and you earn if although on anything ãîäåí! - Ishi as? - ãëóìëèâî has ed drunk, glance beside he suddenly became prickly and ferocious. - Yes, here is so! - îãðûçíóëñÿ the oldster John, was turned and passed under high arch in house; he was not too complacent itself, but answer ïîîñòðîóìíåé and ïîçëåå in that minute was not sewn on... And, striding on gallery, leading to south wing of the building, he still something mumbled itself under nose. - You what, daddy? - has asked his(its) Ed, day lifter. - Who you óåë? - But well them, - still angrily, with annoyance has mumbled the oldster. - Uzh these I duffer-beggars! One presently became attached to me at the door - a fates to him, see, ìîíåòêó! The Young lad, not senior you, wangles the alms beside oldster! Neither shame, nor shame! I him so and has said: if you, dialect, on anything ãîäåí, so ïîäè yes earn! - A Halitosis as? - without person of the interest has said Ed. - Yes, here is so, - has confirmed Dzhon. - Such here and ïîäïóñêàòü-that close not trace. Climb in our quarter, exactly flies on honey. Beside us here live the net public, and íå÷åãî any vagrant her(its) disturb. At word about "net public" voice his(its) several softened. Here is to to whom oldster, is seen, deferred. That there nor was, but quietness "net public" it is necessary to keep and protect. - Therefore they here and climb, - continued the oldster, - know that our occupant people sympathetic, here is and use the èõíåé by kindness. Only yesterday's day one such âûïðîñèë beside mrs Jack dollar, I âèäàë itself. Sound äåòèíà, like you! Was necessary me to say her, ÷òîá nothing he did not give! If b he wanted to work, so has found itself place, not worse us with you! Before what äîøëî, can not woman peacefully to come out of house to walk the pawl. It Be Looked over will not have time to, but to her is already rolled up to some vagrant. There was I controlling, uzh I their îêîðîòèë. For our building this disorder. Our occupant - a net public, does not be fit him such tolerates. Proiznesya this speech, which so and breathed the feeling insulted value and readiness îáåðå÷ü simple-hearted-trustful "÷èñòóþ public" from the further encroachment on the part of swindler-beggar, oldster John several ïîóñïîêîèëñÿ, entered with back entrance in south wing of the building and through several minutes was already on its post beside cargo lift, ready to be on duty whole night. John Inborgu was already for sixty, was born he in Brooklyn, father him(it), sailor, was a norwegian, but mother, chambermaid, - an irishwoman. But any with the first glance has said that fruit of this intermarriage - a fundamental american, to all appearances - çàïðàâñêèé yankee. Even his(its) adding and the whole look noted were purely american devil (be can, they hang partly from climate and geographies, from rate of the lifes partly, from speech and native customs, special nervious mindset and life energy in one's own way grind smooth flesh and bearing) so, as it were varied nor were a headwaterses, instant and will faultless hear: american before you. Here is and oldster John was on all sign present american. Becoming very thin neck - dry, æèëèñòàÿ, èçðåçàííàÿ wrinkle from long íåíàñòèé. And person too dry, wrinkled, as if âûæàòîå, as lemon; and mouth not cruel, no, but lips dry, tightly compressed, ìàëîïîäâèæíûå, stiff; the chin several âûïÿ÷åí, is woke;waked whole surrounding life, full discord and contradiction, even most his(its) skull and skeleton has added íåïîäàòëèâîñòè and has added him expression of the stubborn call. The Growing a little ïîâûøå average, but all body, either as person and neck, - dry and exactly äóáëåíîå, and from this he seemed above. The Hands beside oldster were such greater, scrawny, in íàáðÿêøèõ blue vein, as if uzh too much they have worked at its age. And even voice and speech his(its) were obviously "american". He was VWVbuyD[>]up on word, spoke dryly, ãíóñàâî and indistinct. On pronunciation his(its) fast whole have took for native of the Vermont though cutting the accent beside it was not. But particularly mark were characteristic searched for yankee brevity and ÿçâèòåëüíîñòü speech, as it is woke;waked - a faithfull signs invariably evil mood. However oldster John not at all differed the trouble by disposition though sometimes and seemed the old grouch. Simply such uzh beside it was a habit. He is not deprived was a feeling of the humour and willingly inserted ñëîâöî in ãðóáîâàòóþ facetious wrangle elevator operator ïîìîëîæå, which always teased each other; but under mask of the sharpnesses and biting ñòðîïòèâîñòè was hidden and a certain softheartedness. This became clear presently, when appeared Gerbert Enderson. Gerbert serviced on night passenger lift south entrance(approach). This was a mellow thick lad of the years twenty five, with plump cheek, decorated ridiculously bright, infantile color. The Eye his(its) watched vividly and merrily, and he obviously was proud of the mane steeply climbing chestnut hair. The Oldster John distinguished Gerberta amongst all serving enormous building, this was his(its) pet that, however, hardly possible was notice, listenning presently their conversation. - Well, how are you, daddy? - has yelled Gerbert, falling into cargo lift, and skittish has proded the oldster in bok. - Not yet âèäàë two áëîíäèíî÷åê, but? Hardly óëîâèìàÿ dry grin John Inborga became observable, was shriller marked óïðÿìàÿ pleat of the lips; in the interim he has slammed the door and has pulled the lever. - À! - an âûäîõíóë he knit, as if serdito. - Not flood plain, about that you interpret. The Lift äîøåë before ïîëóïîäâàëà and stopped, oldster has opened the door. - Will Not caught, as! - has objected Gerbert; he ïîäîøåë to locker for cloth, has joined with itself coat and became to remove âîðîòíè÷îê and galstuk. - I zh you spoke about that two áëîíäèíî÷åê, remember? - He has already joined with ìóñêóëèñòûõ shoulder shirt, bent over and, îïåðøèñü one hand about locker, removed the shoe. - À! - in the same way knit was called back starik. - Always you me something there interpret. But I and do not listen. In one ear enters, in other leaves. - Ah, halitosis as? - derisive, mistrustful has ed Gerbert. He already untied the second shoe. - Yes, here is so, - has dryly answered John. In voice his(its) all time was drafty the gloomy discontent, and, however, was felt that chatter Gerberta secretly his(its) amuses. Begin with that that he and has not thought óéòè. Opposite, leaned;leant to opened door of the lift, has carelessly crossbreed the skinny senile hands in too ample sleeve by threadbare sulphur of the woolly jacket, which on work served him unchangeable "form", and waited all with same stubborn óñìåøå÷êîé, as if enjoyed these aquabbles and ready was äëèòü them without the end. - That zh you for person hereon? - Gerbert has removed carefully îòãëàæåííûå trousers, has got from locker hatrack and neatly their has hung. Over trousers has hung the coat and has fastened on all pugovicy. - YA-to tried, all for you has settled, but you on backward. Well, daddy, - continued he with affected pokornostiyu. - I thought, you person companionable, tried, interceded, but you destroy to company. If so, come me to invite who other. - Ah, halitosis as? - has said the oldster John. - Yes uzh so! - was called back Gerbert such tone, has as if struck down the collocutor napoval. - I prepared you çàáàâó first sort, yes, is seen, with you porridges will not weld. The Oldster has not answered. Standing up in one linen and carrying, Gerbert has straightened the shoulder and minute-other energetically turned round, strerched, compressed and unclenched the hands so that áóãðàìè were ballooned muscles, but under the end ïîñêðåá in çàòûëêå. - But where our has fuelled? - has suddenly asked on. - Vidal you him(it) today? - Who? - with perplexity has ed John. - Henry. When I went, at the door his(its) was not, and here no. Faithfully, will be late. - A-a! - In this short cheer was heard the most severe disapproval. The Oldster beyond hope ìàõíóë knotted rukoy. - a Bore this Henry, - has said he hard, staccato, as all oldsters, when they, ÷òîá go abreast of young, ùåãîëÿþò unaccustomed slang slovechkami. - a Bore, and more nobody. No, I his(its) today not âèäàë. - No, he lad not bad, when his(its) will hear ïîáëèæå, - has merrily said Gerbert. - Itself understand, when person that âáèë to itself in head, he uzh more nor about as does not remember... he it is necessary, ÷òîá whole light about same interceded. But in general-that Henry - a not bad lad, when does not äîëäîíèò its ÷åïóõîâèíó. - Here is-here is! - suddenly with zest âîñêëèêíóë John, but not in token consents, simply he something vspomnil. - Know that he has said here me? "Interesting, speaks that çàïåëè our çäåøíèå rich mans if b they happened to the cue-when back to bend for the sake of bread vital!" So and has said. "But these, speaks, old boughs - yes-yes, straight so and blurted out! (The Oldster John angrily ïîìîòàë head.) These, speaks, boughs; I, speaks, integer evening the only thing do that help someone into them in machines yes debark, under elbow support, can not step themselves to set foot, but if b they accounted for êàðà÷êàõ sexes to wash, as mother?" And always he here is ýäàê chatters, - angrily âûêðèêíóë oldster Dzhon. - On tea-that beside they take, does not scruple, but halitosis itself that about they chatter! Not-et, - has mumbled he (and has knocked on wall knuckle finger), - not on shower me such talks. If beside it ýäàêèå of the thoughts, íå÷åãî to him here to serve! Not on shower me this small. - Yes no, daddy, - carelessly, indifferently has noticed Gerbert. - Henk lad not bad. He nothing particularly skinny does not think. Simply grumbles - and all. With agility and dexterity, what are given äîëãîëåòíèì skill, he parcel of land starched dickey - an obligatory attribute of its uniform cloth - and âäåë of the cuff link. Bent over, ed in uncomfortable, too low hinging on wall çåðêàëüöå, absently threw through shoulder: - Became to be, will not keep me company with that two áëîíäèíî÷êàìè? The Gunpowder that, comes short? - À! - To oldster John returned usual derisive bryuzglivosti. - Chatter in vain. I on its age so much äåâ÷îíîê ïåðåâèäàë that you and in VWVappear in the dreams did not appear in the dreams. - A Halitosis as? - has said Gerbert. - Yes, here is so, - has said Dzhon. - Could be beside me and blondes, and brunettes, and what want. - But redhead did not can be, daddy? - óõìûëüíóëñÿ Gerbert. - Were and redhead, - has muttered starik. - Uzh probably, little more, than beside you. - So you playboy that? - has said Gerbert. - Whole age for äåâî÷êàìè chased after? - No I not playboy and nor for what äåâî÷êàìè did not chase after. Else what! - a contemptuous áóðêíóë oldster Dzhon. - I person married, fourty years what be married. Beside me children adult, ïîñòàðøå you! - Ah you, old cheater! - with affected indignation turned to him Gerbert. - First bragged endlessly their own áëîíäèíî÷êàìè yes ðûæåíüêèìè, but now boast that you person household! Yes you... - Nothing I did not boast, - has interrupted starik. - I you about present not dialect, I about that was previously. The Halitosis when they I had - fourty years back. - Who was? - has simple-hearted ed Gerbert. - a Wife and children? - À! - squeamish shrivelled Dzhon. - interpret with you. Not to try, I shall not irritate. I in lifes so much whole has ed that you and in VWVappear in the dreams did not appear in the dreams. The teeths if hunt, I do not ïðîéìåøü. - No, in vain you refuse, daddy, - as if has with regret said Gerbert. He has already drawn the gray uniform trousers, has corrected the broad white tie and, nearly ïðèñåâ before íèçåíüêèì mirror, checked, well sits the coat on his(its) broad plechah. - Here is weathers, itself see as áëîíäèíî÷êè. I one has selected deliberately for you. - Nechego for me nobody to select, - has ed the oldster Dzhon. - a Lack of time to me foolishness to concern with. Here with stairways quick step entered Henry, night doorman, and çàãðåìåë key, unbolting its locker. - À, buddy, - noisy greeted his(its) Gerbert. - listen;hear, well that you will say? I here for daddy ðàññòàðàëñÿ, arranged two áëîíäèíî÷åê merrily to conduct the soiree, but he in bushes. Realy zh so relies on? Henry has not answered. The Pale narrow person his(its) was severely, eye hard and cool, exactly blue enamel, he not even smiled. Has Removed the coat and has hung in locker. - Where you was? - has asked he. Gerbert èçóìëåííî has looked at it. - When this? - Last night. - A Yesterday's evening I had free, - has said Gerbert. - À beside us he was not free, - has said Genri. - us had a meeting. And asked about tebya. - He was turned, has rushed the cool look at oldster Dzhona. - And about you, - has said he rezko. - You too was not. The Person of the oldster has frozen. He has transgressed with legs on leg and impatiently, worrisome çàáàðàáàíèë óçëîâàòûìè finger on wall of the lift. This quick, äîñàäëèâûé patter issued that him not on itself, but on glance Henry he has answered cool, impervious glance, and is immediately seen was - he doorman to tolerate can not. And really, what can be with people straight opposite storehouse, each of these two felt in the other enemy. - Ah, halitosis as? - has dryly said John. - Yes, here is so, - has chopped off Henry. And, tired on oldster cool glance, exactly gunpoint, has added: - Will go on meetings, as all go, understandable? Rather then that flies from the trade union. Although you and oldster, but you this too concerns. - Here is it that? - biting has percolated John. - Yes, here is exactly, - has said Henry, what cut. - Oh you! - Gerbert ãóñòî has reddened, he quite drooped from embarrassment and guilty, stammerring, çàáîðìîòàë: - I zh about this meeting is polished has forgotten completely... Here is her-god! I only... - But it is necessary to remember, - has sharply interrupted Henry, measuring his(its) pitiless glance. - I... beside me all membership dues are paid... - an ïðîëåïåòàë Gerbert. - Nor under than. Not about donation talk. That with us will if every time as meeting, so all in bushes, devil cover? - continued he, and in his(its) cutting voice for the first time broke the fervour of the anger and ubezhdeniya. - Us it is necessary to hold all at the same time, otherwise no sense not will! He çàìîë÷àë and sullen has ed on Gerberta, but that, red as cancer, has quite hung the nose, exactly made mischief schoolboy. And here Henry has once again spoken, but already soften, ñïîêîéíåå, and now possible was guess that genuine good feeling escapes under external sternness to been guilty comrade. - Well, this time ñîéäåò, - uttered he negromko. - I have said the boys that you has got cold, but in next time I shall bring you. He definitively fell silent and began quickly to get undressed. Gerbert was else astir, but he has obviously abated. He, is seen, wanted something say, but has changed the mind. Bent over, finally with approval has looked over itself in çåðêàëüöå and, newly âîñïðÿíóâ by spirit, quickly passed to lift. - Well, daddy, have gone! - glib has said he. SHagnul in booth and with pretended distress has added: - Offensively even so that you miss the áëîíäèíî÷åê. But can, what see them, so will else reconsider? - Nothing I shall not reconsider, - with sullen inflexibility has objected John, slamming door lifta. - Neither about them, nor about you. Gerbert has ed on oldster and mellow burst out laughing, on cheek his(its) brighter ðàçãîðåëñÿ the infantile color, in eye danced the merry îãîíüêè. - So halitosis as you about I think? - And he ëåãîíüêî has proded the oldster by fist in bok. - Became to be, on-òâîåìó, me it is impossible believe, but? - You me although on ten Bibles êëÿíèñü, I you and that not believe, - has ed the oldster. He has pressed the lever, and lift ïîïîëç vverh. - a Windbag, here is you who. But I you and not slushayu. - He has stopped the booth and ðàñïàõíóë become heavy door. - And this is identified the friend? - Gerbert left in corridor. Very complacent itself and its wittiness, he ïîäìèãíóë two pretties rosy-cheek ãîðíè÷íûì-irishwoman, which äîæèäàëèñü the lift to rise above, and through shoulder by thumb has shown on starika. - That will do from such person? - has said on. - I him ñîñâàòàë áëîíäèíî÷êó, but he I do not believe. Speaks, I simply scutched. - But he and there is scutched, - knit has confirmed the oldster John, ãëÿäÿ on smiling devushek. - The only thing knows the language to scutch. All boast their own girlfriend, but I am beaten about pawn, beside it never no girlfriend could be. show Him áëîíäèíî÷êó, so he óäåðåò, exactly hare. - A Good friend-buddy! - with affected bitterness âîççâàë to girl Gerbert. - Well, daddy, be on-òâîåìó. Only uzh, when these áëîíäèíî÷êè will add, conducted him to, while I not to return. Hear? - Better you their here not drives, - has said John. He balk swung grey the head, held militant, âûçûâàþùå, but clear was, on most-that deal he enjoys vovsyu. - do Not want I, ÷òîá they here went - neither blondes, nor brunettes, neither redhead, nor other what colors, - mumbled on. - But if will add, you their don't care will not catch. I him lead;guide;êîíò)conduct cleare out while the going is good. I with them and without you óïðàâëþñü, be ïîêîåí. - And this is identified the friend! - was bitterly ed Gerbert ãîðíè÷íûì, once again having proded through shoulder by thumb aside oldster. And äâèíóëñÿ away on corridor. - Don't care not faith I you, - has yelled the oldster to him vdogonku. - No beside you no blonde. And never was not... You are zh mother's boy! - with triumph has added he, as if his(its) has shaded the most witty thought for the whole vecher. - a Mother's boy, here is you who! Gerbert paused beside door, guiding to main corridor, and turned to oldster with threat as if, but eye his(its) scintillated revelry. - Ah, halitosis as? - has yelled he. Mgnovenie he stood and ferocious ãëÿäåë on oldster John, afterwards ïîäìèãíóë girl, left for door and has pressed the button of the passenger lift, under which he now was to be on duty, having changed day elevator operator. - This small simply windbag, - knit has said John girl, which already fell into cargo lift, and has slammed dveri. - All-that he chatters, here is, breakwater, shall bring the áëîíäèíî÷åê, only I while that nor one not âèäàë. Not-e! - nigh only with contempt mumbled he itself under nose, when lift ïîïîëç naverh. - He lives in Bronx with mother, but ïîãëÿäè on it äåâ÷îíêà, so he becomes frightened before death. - But it is necessary Gerbertu to wind itself girlfriend, - has businesslike said one gornichnaya. - Gerbert - he glorious. - Yes, like small not bad, - has ed the oldster John. - He and on person glorious, - has caught the second girl. - Nothing, ñîéäåò, - has said John and suddenly has added angrily: - But that this beside you today are going on? Adown beside lift aiming mountain any package is loaded on. - Beside mrs Jack today guests, - has explained one chambermaid. - And know that, John, raise all this ïîñêîðåé. Can, there there is such that us straight away it is necessary. - Well, - an áóðêíóë he that militant, that inadvertently, hiding under this likeness its mellow dushu. - Try. Similars, all of these today at night ïîíàçâàëè of the guests, - grumbled on. - Can be, çàñèäÿòñÿ and before two and before three nights. Possible think, other people more and do the íå÷åãî, the only thing know; aware guests beside them. Here needs the whole regiment a porter - all èõíèå packages to carry. The Halitosis as, - mumbled he itself under nos. - But us that with this? Well else if will thank you say... - Well-beside, John! - with rebuke has said one of gornichnyh. - You zh know, mrs Jack not such. Know Themselves... - Yes she-that, probably, nothing, - as before as if has inadvertently ed John, but voice his(its) a little smyagchilsya. - Were all such, as she, - began he, but suddenly has once again recalled about that íèùåãî and ed: - Uzh painfully she äîáðåíüêàÿ. Will Only leave for threshold, any vagrants yes beggars so to her and is stuck. Last night I âèäàë itself, she and ten steps to set foot did not have time to, but uzh one âûêëÿí÷èë dollar beside her. This zh to go mad it is necessary - such tolerates. Here is I her(its) shall see, I her so straight and shall say! Having Recalled about this outrageous event, he has even reddened from anger. The Lift stopped on platform of the back entrance, oldster John has opened the door, and ãîðíè÷íûå left, but he once again çàáîðìîòàë about itself: - Beside us here public net, does not be fit him such tolerates... - And while one of the girl unbolted the door of the back entrance, condescending has added: - Well, ïîãëÿæó, shall raise your supplieses. The Door of the back entrance was shuttered for both ãîðíè÷íûìè, but oldster John else minute-other stood and looked at it - on dim blind sheet coated by paint of the metal with number of the apartment on him, - and if anyone in this minute his(its) has seen, that, probably, has noticed in his(its) glance something like tendernesses. Afterwards he has slammed the door of the lift and has gone downwards. When he came down on öîêîëüíûé floor, doorman Henry just rose on stairway from cellar. Already in uniform cloth, ready to proceed with night-duty, he silently went by cargo lift. John his(its) îêëèêíóë. - Can, will there want to deliver the packages with ïàðàäíîãî of the move, so you send;poste here, to me, - has said he. Henry turned, without smile has looked at oldster, has ed staccato: - That? - I dialect, can, will there become to unload buying beside ïàðàäíîãî, so send;poste to me on back entrance, - having raised voice, has angrily repeated the oldster, did not like him that this Henry always such rough and sullen. Henry all in the same way silently looked at it, and John has added: - Beside Jack today guests. Asked me ïîñêîðåé all deliver upstairs. Became to be if that will else bring, send;poste here. - What for the sake of? - an even voice, without expression has ed Henry, as before ãëÿäÿ on oldster in stress. In question this was heard flippant call and disrespect to senior - to most John, to controlling house or, can be, to "net public" that in this house vein, - and oldster flew into a rage. The Hot stuffy wave of the anger has rushed to throat, and he did not cope with itself. - But therefore that so relies on, here is what for the sake of! - an ðÿâêíóë on. - You that, the first day in such place serve, order do not know? Do Not know that, beside us house for net public, occupant does not like, ÷òîá any messenger with package travelled together with them in ïàðàäíîì lift. - With what this? - deliberately flippant bent its Genri. - Why this they do not like? - Yes therefore! - whole having reddened, âûêðèêíóë oldster Dzhon. - If beside you and on this considerations comes short, as well as not serve here, but ïîäè hire the ditches to dig! You for that money pay, ÷òîá its deal knew! It Is Obliged to know if you in such house by doorman! But if hitherto was not learned;learnted, so take payment, here is that! À on your place other find, who ïîëó÷øå thinks that yes as! Henry all looked at it hard, insensible, exactly stone eye. Afterwards has said coldly, even voice: - listen;hear, You ïîîñòîðîæíåå, but that knows that with you will? You after all not very young, daddy so better ïîîñòåðåãèñü. Someday you will begin straight on street be spoilt because of their own æèëüöîâ, as it were they did not happen to to go to one lift with messenger, yes and çàçåâàåøüñÿ. Will Become to think, as it were him, áåäíåíüêèì, has not damaged that they rise in one booth with simple lad. And know that then will happen, daddy? Here is I shall say you. You so because of this that forget to watch on parties and will please under travell about, understandable? In even voice of this person sounded such íåóêðîòèìàÿ ferocity that on wink, on one only wink, oldster threw in tremor. But even voice continued: - You will please under travell about, daddy. And not under äðÿííóþ äåøåâåíüêóþ pushcart, no, not under cargo "ford" and not under taxi. You ñøèáåò some splendid, expensive machine. Uzh at all not less, than "ðîëëñ-royce". Hope, this will be a machine anyone from çäåøíèõ æèëüöîâ. You distribute, as ÷åðâÿêà, but I want, ÷òîá you knew that you has sent on that light splendid expensive machine, huge "ðîëëñ-royce" some çäåøíåãî occupant. Want you such happiness, daddy. The Oldster John has quite turned crimson. The veins âçäóëèñü On ëáó. He wanted to speak, but did not find the words. Finally, in default of the best, he even so âûäàâèë that single answer, sounding in his(its) mouth on a thousand harmony, which he invariably beat all their own enemy and managed in perfection to transfer most different their own feeling. - Ah, halitosis as! - îãðûçíóëñÿ he, and on ñåé once word these packed were uncompromising, merciless hate. - Yes, here is so! - an even voice was called back Henry and will go away. 14. FIXED HOUR In most you begin ninth Ester Jack came out of its room and çàøàãàëà on broad corridor, which split her(its) ample apatments from the end in the end. The Guests invited were on half ninth, but rich perennial experience prompted her that acceptance will be in peak at tenth hour only. The Light quick øàæêàìè she went on corridor and felt, as from emotion strained each nerve; this was, probably, even pleasantly though here droplet of the cautios doubt was stitched else. All already ready? Has Not forgotten she what? Exactly has executed the servant of her(its) dictation? Suddenly girls anything have missed? Suddenly what-that comes short? Between brows beside she teethed the ìîðùèíêà, and she was unconsciously taken remove and newly gusty put on the old-time ring. In this gesture told äåÿòåëüíàÿ, talented nature, against the will got accustomed not to entrust the people not so skilful and gifted. In he was drafty the impatient annoyance and contempt - not that contempt that appears from haughtiness or defect of the emotional heat, but feeling of the person, who is biased sometimes to say ðåçêîâàòî: "Yes, yes, know! All understandable. Do Not interpret me about trifle. Closer to deal. That you may and óìååòå? That have already done? Can I on you to?" And presently, when she nimble went on corridor, elusive quick, îòðûâèñòûå thoughts slithered on surfaces of her(its) consciousness, as if glares of the light on lake iron;press;pet. "Have Not forgotten the girls to do all that I âåëåëà? - thought ona. - About, gentlemen! If only Burrow again not çàïèëà!.. But Dzheyni! Certainly, she gold, rather then girl, but before what foolish!.. But cook! Well yes, cook she die, but dunce rare. But try her word say, immediately îáèäèòñÿ and go to caw on-german... will feel sorry that beginning... Well, but Mey... in general, remains only to hope on luchshee. - Morschinka between brows slammed into deeper, ring on finger all quick slithered vzad-vpered. - Seems, could understand, after all they nor in than do not need. They beside us so easy live! Could try, show that is valued... - with annoyance has thought she. But here and now in she âñêîëûõíóëàñü pity and empathy, and thoughts have rolled up in more accustomed riverbed: - À, the hell with them. The Poor fellows, probably, on greater not capable. It is Necessary with this become reconciled... but uzh if want, ÷òîá all were done as it is necessary, so do itself". She äîøëà before ãîñòèíîé and with threshold quickly her(its) has looked over, checking, all on place. And remained satisfied. Now eye her(its) watched already not so anxious. She is a parcel of land ring on finger and anymore removed, and on person her(its) gradually appeared the complacent expression, quite as beside child that silently beholds the loved toy, which itself has made, and quietly she rejoices. The Ample room ready to receiving the guests. All much peacefully and fittingly, in accuracy so, what mrs Jack loves. The Proportions of this room so noble that she looked majestic common-room, but perfect taste of the landlady has worked on each triviality here, and in greatness no nor the most slightest trace cool, suppressing aloofness. The Outside person this drawing room with her(its) disposing of simplicity could be shown not only comfortable, but, on closer examination, even a little uncared-for. Nearly all here several îáâåòøàëî. The Upholstery sofa and êðåñåë here and there ïðîòåðëàñü. The Rug on sex without uneasiness found that serves already long years. The Green pattern on him long ago ïîáëåê. The Old-time table with îòêèäíîé by lid mildly yielded to under gravity built pile books and journal and lamps, shaded softly painted by lampshade, mantel of the yellowish marble was too èñòåðòàÿ and in spot here and there, her(its) coverlet faded piece green chinese silk, but on him âîññåäàëà charming statuette from green jasper: chinese áîæîê raised the hand with finely sliced finger in token blessing and mercy. On heater hunged the portrait most Ester Jack - famous, already calm artist has drawn her(it) for many years back, in the whole young charming her(its) twenty years. On three walls of the room, on the one third of her(its) height, stretched the regiments, closely tired book - is at a glance seen was that this old friends and seedy rootlet their constantly feel the heat of the human hands. Their obviously not once read and rereaded. The Glance did not meet here strict building road stamped cover, what quite often rich mans decorate their own libraries not that these volume someone read, but only to on them âçèðàëè with respect. Was Not here and sign to repugnant greed of the professional collector. If on these regiment, which everyday used, and got first, rare publishing of some book, that only therefore that owner has bought her(it) immediately on output in light - has bought exactly to read. Sosnovye log, which crackled in enormous marble heater, rejected the warm glares on these rows ïîòåðòûõ cover, and mrs Jack with calm joy has looked at familiar varicoloured rootlet. She heard the loved novels and tales, plays, biographies, collections verse, the most most important works on histories theatrical and decorative art, painting and architectures, - all that she has collected for the whole its life, such saturated and áîãàòóþ event, work, journey. Inherently, all that was in this room, - all these tables and chair, silk and jasper statuettes, pictures, drawings and books - all are found was in miscellaneous city and country, in miscellaneous time and, collected together, met in harmonic consent power unconscious âîëøåáñòâà because hand of this women(woman) touched to the whole. So strangely that person her(its) began to shine and became else charming, when she has dribbled the glance its loved room. She knew - other such not to find. "Here is it, - was thought ey. - This room lives, this - a part me most. Before what she beautiful! And warm... and the present! Quite unalike that we simply remove the premises that this not our own house. No, - she was looked over on long and broad corridor, - if not lift, possible think that beside us here splendid old-time mansion. Know Itself not... but... (again ìîðùèíêà appeared between brows, on ñåé from second thought once, from diligence to make clear its thought) something in all this there is such... and greatness and simplicity..." And she was a right. Even in these timeses for rental fifteen thousand dollars per annum possible was gain the considerable share of the simplicity. And on this thought whole alive was called back soul Ester. "That is to say cost(stand)s to compare our apartment with these in the last style apatment... - continued she about sebya. - Now áîãàòûå people make beside itself building uzh such ugliness. No comparisons! Howsoever, there were they rich, don't care, here... here us have something such, what nor for what money do not bathe". At thoughts about that ugliness, what make beside itself building áîãàòûå people, nostrils Ester Jack quailled and lips contemptuous wried. She always despised the wealth. Although she and left married for rich person and already long years not at all need for work for the sake of bread vital, but was unflinching is run away that neither her(its) most, nor her(its) family at all it is impossible name the áîãàòûìè people. "In general-that not such uzh we áîãàòûå, - has said ona. - Quite not that persisting rich mans". And addressed for acknowledgement not to that one hundred thirty million, whose place in the world unconceived below and fate unconceived òÿæåëåå, than beside it, but to storied ten thousand, âîçíåñøèìñÿ on her on the most money heights - to one, in contrast with her "persisting rich mans". But besides, she òðóæåíèöà. And always was an òðóæåíèöåé. One fluent the look at her(its) small, certain hands - in them so much power, concinnity, they such nimble - enough to understand: this hands of the person, who whole life worked. In this-that and is rooted in her(its) pride and deep emotional unity. This woman did not search for the íè÷üåé a help and protection, did not lean neither on purse some men, nor on his(its) shoulder. "Realy I not handhold to itself?" Yes, she will die for itself to stand. She itself has overpunched itself road. She is a person independent. She creates the beautiful belongings - and not for one day. She never knew ïðàçäíîñòè. But therefore no wonder that she never ranked itself to "rich man". She was an òðóæåíèöà. She worked. But presently, satisfied checkup big ãîñòèíîé, she has hurried to check all rest. From ãîñòèíîé in table conducted äâóñòâîð÷àòàÿ glass door, presently she was shuttered and ïîëóñêðûòà transparent heavy curtain. Mrs Jack ïîäîøëà, ðàñïàõíóëà her(it) wide open and has frozen on threshold, gusty having pressed hand to bosom. And quietly shouted oh from surprise and delight. Before what beautifully! Simply before impossibility! But she after all just this and wanted - so always could be beside it on acceptance. And, however, any once this beauty was for it as if great and unexpected opening. All here were perfection itself. The Enormous dining table so and shone, is woke;waked unadulterated width golden-dark light. On medium him(it), on thick lacy napkin, in big beautiful vase - a fragrant bouquet right before cut colour. On ÷åòûðåì corners are neatly placed high piles of the plates äðåçäåíñêîãî porcelain and lies the rows sparkling instruments old english silver - a massive spoons, plugs, knives. The Old-time italian chair are postponed from table and are placed along sewer. The Supper will a la fourchette. The Guests are free to approach and choose meal on its taste, on this splendid table are found temptations, before which will not stand firm the most moody and the most blase gourmet. In one end of the table on huge silver guard;keep shows off splendid roasted, in õðóñòêîé golden êîðî÷êå roast beef. He trace "will begin" with one side - several slices are cut, let any immediately sees, before what this gentile and juicy meat. In opposite end, on the other huge guard;keep, in the same way ïî÷àòûé since êðàåøêà, âîçëåæèò the whole ham an âèðãèíñêîé ed spice of ham. À between these two dishes and around they crowd the a great deal an ensemble the most varied food, such appetizing that under one glance slobber òåêóò. Here and all the manner of salads - from every sort and kind of verdure, from öûïëÿò, and crabs, and ðîçîâàòî-white strong meat êëåøíåé lobster, in wholenesses taken out from hard shell. On the other dish lies the çîëîòèñòûìè bar smoked lox - an most exquisite delicacy, what only possible buy for money, - âûñÿòñÿ the hutches black and red roe, and count no plate with any other snack - here and mushrooms, and herring, anchovies, sardines and teeny, juicy artichokes, pickled onion and pickled beet, slice tomatoes and stuffed spice egg under mayonnaise, ãðåöêèå and pecan nuts, almond, îëèâêè and celery. To be short, will here find all, what only possible want. Yes, óãîùåíüå verily luxurious although most Gargantyua âïîðó. Such visualize the sumptuous feast that become immortal due to old-time legend. Not many "persisting rich mans" dared assign such feast, and were afraid they not in vain. Such make could only she one, and only beside it all could be as it is necessary. Therefore-that and were glorified her(its) acceptance, and nobody from invited did not miss the event to be. Ibo, oddly to say, in all this generous óãîùåíèè was not and tipoff on disorder or bells and whistles. The Table was verily miraculously thought-out graceful and beautiful artistic çàìûñëà. Glyadya on it, nobody could not say that here although what-that comes short or that although one triviality here spare. And all in this ample table was simply and firmly, the same perfect taste was felt in all, same style, as if all appeared and formed itself itself - with such relaxed concinnity and so naturally. On one party - an enormous buffet with sparkling rows carafe, bottles and áóòûëî÷åê, siphon and high, the most fine flow goblet. On other - two graceful lockers in colonial stiletto, as if two graces, please the glance by miraculous porcelain, crystal and silver, splendid old-time dish, saucer and cup, chalice and gravy boat, pitcher and êóâøèí÷èêàìè. Ester Jack îêèíóëà all this valuing glance and, complacent, quickly got through the whole room to bivalve door, for which were found áóôåòíàÿ, kitchen and rooms of the servant. Else because of door she has heard the laughter, come alive voice girl and laryngeal cheers of the cook, as always, interlarded german word. Raspahnuv door, she found oneself amongst enthusiastic, businesslike put. Big a kitchen âûëîæåííàÿ by glased tile sparkled the purity, exactly hospital laboratory. The Enormous plate with splendid âûòÿæíîé by pipe, is woke;waked in first-class restaurant, seemed, was right before washed, âûñêîáëåíà and is polished. The Multiple meeting copper saucepan, caldrons, pot, ñîòåéíèêîâ, griddle all type and amounts - from teeny, where the only thing fits one egg, before ãðîìàäèíû, on which possible, seems, lay in on regiment soldier, - was before that is polished and torn off that mrs Jack could look at oneself in them, as in mirror. The Big table in the middle kitchens whiteness has not disgraced operating surgeon, but regiments, boxes, buffets and bin looked so, as if on him were right before sewn by sandpaper. And, as if valuable, blinding turned white the gigantic electric refrigerator, whose on óäèâëåíüå low, even and powerful drone could not silence the agitated feminine voice. "Here is it! - has thought mrs Dzhek. - for the best! Better all rooms in house! Other I too love, but there is on light anything âåëèêîëåïíåå and êðàñèâåå to good kitchen? And what beside cooks order! Here is me all this draw! But no... here needs Breygeli! At our time nobody did not be able this on-persisting write..." - Ouch, ìèëî÷êà! - has aloud said she kuharke. - What wondrous cake! The Cook has raised the head from enormous puff cake, on which she removed the glaze last patterns, and on her(its) long, flat, òóïîâàòîé physiognomies çàñâåòèëàñü ate the observable smile. - You like, yes? - has said ona. - You think, he good cake? - Ouch, ìèëî÷êà, - so on-baby hotly âîñêëèêíóëà mrs Jack that cook smiled a little poshire. - He simply very handsome man!.. Simply prodigy!.. And she in comic despair has shrugged, exactly not finding words. The Cook, very complacent, laryngeal çàñìåÿëàñü, but Burrow has said with smile: - Here is this faithfully, mrs Jack! I and itself only presently she wanted this most say. Mrs Jack threw on it quick glance and âçäîõíóëà with relief: the person open, clean-cut, òðåçâàÿ. The Glory to you gentlemen, has taken itself in hands! Clear that with morning more nor dripped not saw. She becomes tipsy in a flash if ãëîòíåò alcohol, on her is immediately seen. Dzheyni and Mey plied back and forth from kitchen in ãîñòèíóþ for servant and back - in handily sitting starched uniform charge, rose, smiling, simply on marvel pretty. All go beautifully, better, than possible was wait. Nothing be not forgotten. All ready. Uzh certainly, acceptance will manage on glory! And here ðàçäàëñÿ the sharp bell. The Person beside Ester Jack became afraid. - Dzheyni, is rung beside ïàðàäíîãî, - has quickly said she. And has added as if about itself: - Who this could be... - Presently, ìýì, - was called back Dzheyni, ïîÿâëÿÿñü in door. - I shall go the îòêðîþ, mrs Jack. - Yes, tax, Dzheyni, interesting, who this... - She bewildered has looked at become watch, afterwards - on their own platinum manual chasiki. - Else only quarter ninth! Really anyone so early... À! - Her(its) suddenly osenilo. -, probably, mister Lougen. If this he, Dzheyni, conduct him(it) in ãîñòèíóþ. I presently shall there come. - Listen, mrs Dzhek. - And Dzheyni disappeared. But mrs Jack finally has once again looked over the kitchen, is thanked and approving smiled the èñêóñíèöå to cook and too left. Came and really mister Lougen. Ester Jack has met him(it) in ïðèõîæåé, where he for minute detained to put(deliver) two enormous black valises - similars, their has raised not any strong man. The Type of mister Lougena confirmed this impression. He has compressed one hand âçäóâøèåñÿ bicepses another and, wince from pain, bent and unbent her(it). Zaslyshav steps mrs Jack, he turned; this was firmly shaved off, thick person of the years thirty with thick ðûæåâàòûìè brow; round with large devil person after recent shaving several cast copper, low forehead in wrinkle and bald top ïîáëåñêèâàëè bead of the perspiration, and he wiped their charge. - A Devil! - an âûäîõíóë mister Svintus Lougen (under this tender ïðîçâèùåì he was known in close-fitting friendly circle - a Devil, - once again âûáðàíèëñÿ he with relief more, than with fury. Ceased to mash the whining muscles and has stretched the landlady of the building strong êîðîòêîïàëóþ hand, before most íîãòåé ãóñòî dotted large freckle. - Yes you, probably, die from weariness! - an âîñêëèêíóëà Ester Dzhek. - Why you have not warned me that beside you so much baggages! I have sent chauffeur you to meet. He has done all that it is necessary. - À, duck soup, - has objected Lougen. - I always finish itself. You Understand, I all âîæó with itself - all its snaryazhenie. - He has shown on their own commanding chemodany. - Here all that me it is necessary for my presentation. So, themselves understand, reluctance riskovati. - He unexpectedly quite on-boyish her ulybnulsya. - More beside me nothing no. If anything will happen the something wrong... uzh better start;put I itself shall feel bad, at least once, then I shall know that to that. - Well, clear! - has noded mrs Jack, she instant his(its) ponyala. - You simply can not nor on who. Suddenly anything will happen, but you, probably, so much years their made! All, who their saw, speak that this simply prodigy, - continued ona. - All straight in delight came, when have heard that you will arrive. We so much about you heard... the right, in NEW YORK the only thing talk presently... - Well that zh, - has said mister Lougen quite other tone, still politely, but already obviously not turning nor the most slightest attention on landlady of the building. Now he was an absorbed deal: ïîäîøåë to door ãîñòèíîé and, anxious ïðèìåðèâàÿñü, her(its) osmatrival. - Obviously, this will here, so? - Yes... that is to say if you here like. If you want, possible and in the other room, but this beside us the most ample. - No, thank you, - was short, diffused otvet. - wholly is fit. Even much well... Gm! - Two âåñíóø÷àòûìè finger he caught on to plump lower gubu. - Probably, the most suitable place yonder, - he has pointed to opposite wall, - opposite this door, but public ðàññÿäåòñÿ along these three sewers... Gm! Yes... Probably, here is here, approximately in the middle, the posters shall hang on book regiment. All this, certainly, possible ubrati. - Quick, broad flap of the hand he as if âûìåë from ãîñòèíîé nigh only whole mebeli. - Yes! Then will fine!.. But now unless you object, me it is necessary to change, - has nearly ordered on. - If beside you to find the room. - Well certainly! - has hastily answered mrs Dzhek. - On corridor first door to the right. But, can be, you first want to drink and have a bite? Must be, you terribly... - No, thank you, - has resolutely interrupted Lougen. - You very kind, - he for a moment smiled, knitting êóñòèñòûå brow, - but before presentation I nothing do not am eating and not pius. But now, - he bent over, grasped the enormous valises for handles and, having quacked, with effort their has raised, - with your permits... - We can you than-íèáóäü help? - with readiness has offered mrs Jack. - No... thank you... nothing, - has ed Lougen and ãðóçíûìè step äâèíóëñÿ with its burden on koridoru. - Thank you... I... fine... ñïðàâëþñü... itself... - Swaying under this gravity, he has transgressed the threshold specified him rooms, and already from there äîíåñëîñü the quiet: - Nothing... no need. Mrs Jack has heard the deaf patter - an ãðîõíóëè about sex is woke;waked lead stuffed valises, afterwards: "Ó-óô!" - long, has grown old, with relief âûäîõíóë Lougen. When young person, swaying, came out of ãîñòèíîé, landlady since minute èçóìëåííî else and even a little afraid watched him after. Uzh much resolutely and impudently was going to he overwind all upside-down in her(its) loved room. But no, - she òðÿõíóëà head, driving away vague apprehensions, - certainly, all will pass well. So much folk were called back about him with delight, his(its) presentation - a sensation of the present year, all on he simply getted mad, only about him and speak, around complimentary reviews. He is a pet "elected society" - all these áîãà÷åé with Long-Aylenda and Park-avenue. (Here feeling own superiority budged in our lady, and nostrils her(its) contemptuous quailled). And all... all pleasantly that she his(its) çàïîëó÷èëà! Yes, Svintus Lougen and âïðÿìü was a sensation of the year. He created the circus wire cockle, and this strange amusement around met the íåîáû÷àéíûå to ovations. Who could not in elected mundane circle with knowledge of the deal to talk about him and his(its) doll, turned out to be in position of the ignoramus nigh only, never not heard about ZHane Kokto and surrealism; this was don't care that in perplexity çàõëîïàòü eye, when under you mentioned name Pikasso, Brankuzi, Utrillo or Gertrudy Stayn. About Svintuse Lougene and his(its) art spoke not more active and respectful, than speak the connoisseurs on all these celebrity. And in the same way, as for them, for mister Lougena and his(its) art was needed the special dictionary. To reason about them with knowledge of the deal, it is necessary was have a special language, in which the most fine tone became day by day to be inaccessible for uninitiated, on measure that as critics tried to outdo in understanding of the depths each other and dizzy difficulties, endless nuance and assotiation, generated Svintusom Lougenom and his(its) puppet circus. The Truth, on the first time other connoisseurs and amateurs - a lucky person participial to most generation of the mode on mister Lougena, - named his(its) presentation "terribly amusing". But this has long ago grown old, now any, who dared to define the art Lougena fresh word "drolly", immediately threw with count as absolutely uncultured personality. The Circus Lougena ceased to be "amusing" as soon as one of the the most well-informed newspaper columnists have done the opening that "never else with timeses early CHaplina art of the tragic humour did not reach in pantomime so peerless heights". With this and has gone, each following critic âîçäàâàë mister Lougenu all new, all more loud praises. For review in daily newspaper appeared flattering ýññå in more exquisite publishing, illustrated photography his(its) cockle. Afterwards to the total chorus were joined theatrical critics, and in sacrificial fire of the benchmark analysis already applied to smoke and ashes of some phenomena modern scene. The Leadinging tragic actor, previously than emerge in dug Hamlet, was offered teach beside clown of mister Lougena. Around ðàçãîðåëèñü the hardened disputes. Two çíàìåíèòûõ critiques has entered in the clever verbal duel on so ñâåðõó÷åíîì level that, speak, under the end in all civilized world not more seeds of the person could understand in their final riposte. Fierce whole argued about that that ñèëüíåå has influenced upon Svintusa Lougena - a cubism early Pikasso or geometric abstractions Brankuzi. Beside both theory èìåëèñü the ardent followers, but under the end all ñîøëèñü on that that solving role has played all Pikasso. All are these doubts could allow one only word mister Lougen itself, but word this as well as was not pronounced. Lougen in general nearly did not speak of hurly-burly, which itself has caused. As significant indicated the critiques, him characteristic was "that simplicity that distinguishes the true artist - nearly nursery naivete [naivete, spontaneity (fr.)] the speech and gesture, getting into most heart to realities". And the whole his(its) life, his(its) past remained to be inaccessible for inquisitive biographer, barriered same inconceivable simplicity. Or, on determination one more critiques, "in the same way, as was beside all greater master nearly, on young year Lougena it is difficult was foresee that he will say the new word in art. Like all truly great, he developed slowly and, possible even say, invisibly before that most hour, when suddenly was a public in all blinding briliance". As it were that nor was, presently glory of mister Lougena and âïðàâäó blinded, around it and his(its) cockle appeared in high aesthetic sphere aiming literature. On this were created and fell the reputations a critic. It Is Dedicated to person in nicety of the last mode, - about this in that year judged on privity about mister Lougene and his(its) doll. Who did not know how in them to understand, that beyond hope lagged behind from age and worthy general contempt. Who knew how, that definitively acknowledged the connoisseur on a part art, and him instant was opened access in circles the elected àðòèñòè÷åñêèõ natures. The World future, which, no doubt, will be a populated people other, not so thinned and sensitive sort, all this, be can, is shown little strange. Be can... but only therefore that world future will forget as life in 1929. In that nice our heart summer from cristmas Hristova 1929-e possible was, eye not having twinkled, confess that calm John Militon directs on you tedium mortal and in general he was simply arrogant èíäþê and soap bubble. In that time gentlemen critics very many have declared the soap bubbles. The most brave wits to contemporaneity ruthlessly researched shining all colour of the rainbow to reputations of such personalities, as Gete, Ibsen, Bayron, Thick, Uitmen, Dikkens, Balizak, - and came to conclusion that reputations these - blown. Exposed all and all, wiped the gilt, plycked ïàâëèíüè feather... untouchable remained only ðàçîáëà÷èòåëè themselves yes mister Svintus Lougen with his(its) doll. In recently life became too short, and already came short time for a great deal that people previously fine haved time to. The Life became too short, and already lack of time was read the book if in her more two hundred pages. That before "Wars and world"... yes, no doubt, all that speak about this novel, fair, but... personally I... on shame say, I have once tried, and, right, this uzh too... too... the word, know, life too short. The Ithaca, in that year all was a lack of time to spend time for Made someone look fat, Uitmena, Drayzera or dean Swift. However on passionate fascination by mister Lougenom and his(its) puppet circus of time was enough. The Best wit of that years, the most fine judge even amongst the little elected, has bored much a great deal. They ïåðåïàõàëè the abandoned lot, and erosion of ground all more fell into mode. They have bored the love and has bored hate. Have Bored the people, which toil, and people idle. Have Bored one, something create, and one, does not create nothing. They have bored the marriage - and has bored the blessed solitude. Have Bored and chastity and debaunchery. Has Bored to go for border - and remain the building. Have Bored the great poets of the whole world, whose great creations they nor reek did not read. Have Bored the hungry people on street, and killed, and children, perishing from exhaustion, have bored unfairness, cruelty, ãíåò around and everywhere, where nor ïîãëÿäè; and have bored fairness, liberty, human right on life. They have bored to live, bored to die, but... in that year him not a bit were not boring Svintus Lougen and his(its) circus of the puppets.  than Reason of such hurly-burly? What Power induced was a great sensation in the world art? As was it aptly expressed one critic, "this not simply new talent, initiated one more "motion", this aiming new creative universe, rash heavenly body - and burning êðóãîâðàùåíèåì its it, as likely as not, will create the own starry systems". Well, so than _Îíî_ - a great Luminary, with which all and began, - than _Îíî_ presently occupied? _Îíî_ enjoys the solitude in one of the charming rooms in apatment mrs Jack and, as if not at all not suspecting about dismay, what has contributed _Îíî_ in this world, peacefully, quietly, conservatively, prosaic and businesslike removes the trousers and draws ïàðóñèíîâûå trousers on itself. Simultaneously with this important event in the other parts of the building all go its turn and without gnarl, without çàäîðèíêè approaches to successful termination. The Casements of the doors between table and kitchen kindom continuously fly open, girls ñíóþò back and forth, occupied by last preparations to sumptuous feast. Dzheyni on enormous silver tray has ïðîíåñëà through table bottle, carafes, chalice with ëüäîì and high, graceful goblets. Has Put(deliver)ed the tray on table in ãîñòèíîé, and the most fine ñêîðëóïêè - a goblets - tuneful çàçâåíåëè, have merrily tinkled the bottles, ðàçäàëîñü cool voiced ïîòðåñêèâàíèå columned ëüäà. Afterwards Dzheyni ïîäîøëà to heater, has postponed the big copper screen and was lowered on lap before fire. Povoroshila log by long copper poker and gable - âçâèëñÿ the sheaf of the sparks, flame has ed, çàòðåùàëî, çàïëÿñàëî. Else, the minute girl confronted him on elbow - personified femininity and grace. The Reflections of the fire lighted;lit up her(its) rose person, and mrs Jack admired her, such nice, clean-cut and pretty. Afterwards girl rose and put(deliver)ed the screen on place. Mrs Jack has moved on table in ïðèõîæåé vase with rose on long ñòåáëÿõ, for a moment ãëÿíóëà on itself in mirror on table, was turned and merrily, will quickly go on broad, covered òîëñòûì êîâðîì corridor to itself. In this minute mister Jack appeared from its room. He already changed to supper. She îêèíóëà his(its) piled up by eye and has immediately valued, as well sits on him evening suit and as liberally, at ease husband itself in he feels, as if never him(it) and did not remove. As contrasted with wife mister Jack held peacefully, unflappable, as person, the whole ed and made wiser by experience. At a glance clear was that he will fine die itself about itself to take care. Was felt: let he it is enough tempted in joy rafts, but, uzh certainly, knows him measure, knows the border, for which threaten the chaos, wreckage, chalks and reefs. The Wife has caught all this one quick acute glance, nothing have not missed though type beside it herewith was simple-hearted, nigh only bewildered, marveled about itself, as much he knows, and íåìíîæêî even âñòðåâîæèëàñü at thoughts that he, probably, knows else more, than she can see and âîîáðàçèòü. - About, good evening, - has said he with tender courtesy and ëåãîíüêî has kissed her(it) in cheek. On the most short wink she became disgusting, but immediately she has recalled, what he always was a perfect husband - careful, good, dedicated and that there nor escaped in inconceivable depth his(its) eye, never nothing she did not speak, and nobody could not prove that he anything noticed. "He such glorious", - has thought she and was vividly called back on greeting: - Good evening, expensive. You already ready, yes? - And has hastily spoken: - Please, heed to bell and meeting all, who will come, well? Mister Lougen changes in guest room - you will help if him anything will be necessary? And âçãëÿíè, ready Edit. But when will become to reconverge the guests, send;poste womans to her, start;put remove the coat beside it in room... no, you only say Burrow, start;put she for this will supervise. À about man to take care itself, well, nice? The Wires them in its room. I through several minutes to return. If only all... - In her(its) voice çàçâó÷àëà alert, she has quickly removed and newly parcel of land kolico. - I so hope that all are made as it is necessary! - Uzh probably, all as it is necessary, - tranquilizing has said muzh. - Realy you did not watch? - Well, with type-that all beautifully! - an âîñêëèêíóëà mrs Dzhek. - All even too beautifully. The Girls our tried with all might... only... - Between brows beside she was marked worrisome morschinka. - Only you for them, please, supervise, well, Fric? You know, as they conduct itself, when their will give to themselves. Certainly anything will go íàïåðåêîñ. So you uzh for them afterbirths, well, nice? And not forget about Lougene. I so hope... - She çàìîë÷àëà, is alarmed and absently ãëÿäÿ somewhere in emptiness. - On that are put on? - was businesslike notified husband, and small piece of coal of his(its) lips quailled in a little observable ironic smile. - Hope, he not... - with enxiety begin she and has agreed hastily: - He something such has said... that for his(its) presentations it is necessary from ãîñòèíîé some belongings ubrati. - She helpless âñêèíóëà of the eye on husband, has noticed this ates the perceptible derisive smile, has at once reddened and aloud rashohotalasi. - About, gentlemen! Simply do not know that he çàòåâàåò. He so much whole with itself has trained that warship and that will go to bottom... But even so, hope, this ñîéäåò successfully. Know, he after all straight in great demand. All pleased mate his(its) watch. No, I certain, all will well. As on-òâîåìó, but? She has looked at husband with such amusing gravity, so inquisitive and pleading that he on wink has thrown the mask, short çàñìåÿëñÿ and, already leaving, has said: - Yes, probably, all will pass well, Ester. I for all care. Mrs Jack will go further on corridor and only on ìãíîâåíüå has lingered beside door äî÷åðè. Before she äîíåññÿ clear, voiced young voice - a girl glib hummed the popular song: You for me - as cream for coffee, You for me - as salt for hot... The Person full-grown was illuminated by smile ëþáâè and tendernesses, and so, with smile, she passed further, in following door - to itself. Her(its) room was charming - very simple, chaste modest, hardly not too whittling. Beside one wall on most medium stood the narrow wooden bed, such small, aging, without any decorations, as if in average ages she served the bed some nun, yes, possible, so it and was. Near beds - a table, on him several books, telephone, glass, silver pitcher and in silver frame - a photography of the girl of the years twenty - twenty two: this was a daughter mrs Jack Elma. Beside most door, what will enter, stood the enormous old wooden cloakroom, mrs Jack âûâåçëà him(it) from Italy. In he was kept all her(its) orders and remarkable collection teeny, exactly êðûëûøêè, òóôåëåê, all of these were done on order, ÷òîá was easy and comfortable her(its) graceful small drumstick. Beside wall that opposite door, between two high windows - a writing-table. Between window and bed small drawing table: flawlessly smooth blanching board, but on her in ideal order is distributed dozen sharply sharpened êàðàíäàøåé, ïóøèñòûå cysts, õðóñòêèå sheets tracings, on which are inflicted were some geometric figures, bank gluing, straightedge, áàíî÷êà with gold(en) paint. Exactly on most table hunged on wall bevel and square - in their strong and clear line was some especial net beauty. In leg of the beds stood the chaise longue, covered old faded óçîð÷àòûì by silk. On wall - several unpretentious drawings and single oil painting - a strange exotic flower. That was a flower, what no on the ground, flower-daydream, Ester Jack has written his(its) much years back. Beside wall opposite beds - an old-time coffer, product íåêîåãî dutchman from Pennsylvania, - whole in thread, brightly and whimsical ðàñêðàøåííûé; in he was kept old silk, lace, noble indian ñàðè - Ester Jack much their loved and quite often put on. And beside the same wall old dresser, but on him silver toilet instrument - a brushes, ãðåáíè and miscellaneous - and square mirror. Mrs Jack passed on room, became before mirror and has ed on itself. First a little bent over and long, seriously, with baby simple-heartedness considered its person. Afterwards beginning to turn round, ãëÿäÿ on itself that under one then under the other óãëîì. Has Raised the hand to whisky, ïðèãëàäèëà brow. Must be, she to itself liked - in eye çàñâåòèëîñü the pleasure, even delight. With frank vanity çàãëÿäåëàñü she on massive bracelet, twined her(its) hand, - was darkenning ancient indian circuit, strange dim semiprecious stone. Vskinuv head, Ester has looked over the old-time necklace beside itself on neck, has held at him tip finger. Has Dribbled the glance their own øåëêîâèñòûå hands, denuded back, shining shoulder, outlines bosom, the whole itself, here ïðèãëàäèëà, there îòðÿõíóëà, nearly unconsciously, deft motion have straightened the pleats simple and very beautiful charge. She has again raised the hand, abutted against another in hip and was once again turned, terminating circle ñàìîïîêëîíåíèÿ. Turned round not hurry, delighted admiring itself, and suddenly èçóìëåííî shouted oh, even âñêðèêíóëà afraid and in alarm blast was grasped by hand for throat: turned out to be, she not one, ïîäíÿâ eye, she was met by glance with äî÷åðüþ. Making look younger girl - thin, perfectly built, íåâîçìóòèìàÿ and charming, entered through âàííóþ, which connected their rooms, and, having seized mother âðàñïëîõ, has still frozen on threshold. The Mother ãóñòî has reddened, debt minute they watched the friend on friend, - a mother, boundless upset, blazed the âèíîâàòûì color, daughter, unflappable calm, watched and approving and derisive, as person, made wiser by life. But then in their crossbreed glance is woke;waked has flashed up some spark. As if ïîíÿâ that her(its) ðàçîáëà÷èëè and word here will not help, mother suddenly çàïðîêèíóëà head and burst out laughing voiced, from showers, that truly feminine laughter of the open-hearted confession, which íåâåäîì to other half of the sort human. - Well that, ma, this rather well looked? - mildly smirked the daughter, ïîäîøëà and has kissed her(it). And again Ester helpless, irrepressible burst out laughing. But afterwards, freed this strangely capacious minute from need else something speak and discuss, both at once quieted down. So was played whole shocking comedy of the Women(woman). The Words èçëèøíè. Speak anymore about than. All are already said in one silent wink full, made understanding, mutual confession and ñîîáùíè÷åñòâà. The whole world their flap opened In split second, the whole feminine inside information - a world boundless treachery and untamable íàñìåøëèâîñòè. But enormous nothing not âåäàþùèé city all in the same way boomed around their indulged to monastic cells, and nor united man from a millions of his(its) inhabitants did not suspect about this èçíà÷àëüíîé to power, more mighty, than all city, and äðåâíåé, as ground itself. 15. ACCEPTANCE Beside FAMILY JACK And have here is begun to meet the guests. The Accustomed silence continually broke the piercing warble electric bell beside door. The People all arrived and fell into rooms accustomed, at ease, - is immediately seen, old friends. In ïðèõîæåé and in ïàðàäíûõ room grew solid ìíîãîãîëîñûé dialect - an iridescent laughter and hasty agitated cheers of the womans mingled with more deep and sonorous male voice. All this run is sailled, as butter, evenly, incessant. With each sharp voiced, with each slam frontdoor in the total chorus were infused new voice and laughter, new merry cheers, full regard and cordiality. Now already all æèëèùå Jack, from ïàðàäíûõ of the rooms before the most distant, ðàñïàõíóëîñü for guests. The Human flow was transfused back and forth, whirlled on ïðèõîæåé and bedroom, on big ãîñòèíîé and on table, forming unexpected colorful patterns. The Women(woman)s approached to landlady and kissed her(it) with tenderness old loving girlfriends. The Men, that enthusiastic serious talk, that spreading øóòî÷êàìè, fell into cabinet of the master and newly left. Ester Jack, shining eye, plied back and forth all over, friendly met all and each, with each haved time to to speak. In the whole her(its) habit was drafty rave amazing, as if she believed that miracle will not be an end. She itself has invited all, who here was, and, however, with each spoke so that seemed, she even was lost from joy under such unexpected lucky meeting with old other after long separation. The Voice her(it) from emotion sounded louder usual, but minute even a little piercing, person ðàçãîðåëîñü, she so and shone, and guests smiled her, what smile adult lucky exulting child. Many paced now with goblet and liquor-glass in hand. Other talked, leaning to wall. Some venerable type people, leaning against on fire regiment, raged accidentally flashed up by dispute. VWXbe drafty Crowd softly, on velvet paw as if, passed the beauties with øåëêîâèñòûìè denuded back. The Youth was going to the separate close-fitting mug - these âëåêëî to one another wizardry to youth. Around laughed, chattered, bent over to fill the goblets frozen drink, strolled along loaded every sort and kind of temptation of the eaten table and enormous buffet with type alarm and unsure, what can be, when get lost before choice: immediately clear, person pleased whole îòâåäàòü, all try, but understands that him this not under power. But nimble smiling girls were here as here, gave all that nor will ask, and persuaded to take else although íåìíîæêî. To be short, here was on that to admire - and white, and black, and gold, and power, and wealth, and glamour, and food, and drink. Ester Jack merrily looked over full folk of the room. She knew, here verily was going to the most exquisite society, all best, than could ïîõâàñòàòü city, most colour on wit, position and beauty. And their all were added. Here is in this most minute was miss Poured Mendl - high, burning beauty - and gusty passed on corridor to throw the fur coat. But right behind entered Lourens Hirsh, banker. He has carelessly returned the coat and hat ãîðíè÷íîé and, bowing to the right and to the left, steals VWXbe drafty crowd to landlady, his(its) suit and manners perfect, in each motion - accustomed high-handedness. Has Shaken her hand, ëåãîíüêî has kissed in cheek and speaks rather cold, derisive (this presently fashonably in NEW YORK): - You charming look, expensive, I did not see you such with that most timeses, as we with you îòïëÿñûâàëè cancan - remember? And will go further, glossy, unflappable, more notable figure. The Thick hairs his(its) previously time turned white, and, strange deal, from this purely shaven person with correct devil seems very youthful, nearly young. Little tired, but self-confident, person this expresses the unconscious hubris, such a imprint enormous authorities, which gives the wealth. He got through crowd - weary, äåÿòåëüíûé son human - and has occupied its place, has took over, itself that not noticing, the whole fullness authorities. Between that Poured Mendl returned in greater ãîñòèíóþ and leisurely moved to mrs Jack. This heiress ìèäàñîâûõ wealth was high, dark, with wild mane black êóäðåé. The Eye under heavy age, in sleepy and, however, expressive person - irrepressible pride. The Astonishing woman, all in she struck the glance. The Splendid gown hidden from fabrics of the colour dim gild, enveloped her(it), as glove, described whole her(its) high, seductive splendid figure. In this raiment Poured Mendl was exactly beautiful statue, and while she, slowly, is tired rocking slightly, went on room, all men íåîòðûâíî keeped a check the eye on her. She ed to small landlady of the building, has kissed her(it) and deep sonorous voice with genuine tenderness has asked: - What live, expensive? Now Gerbert, elevator operator, without respite raised the guests upstairs; did not have time to one party arrived to, as door was opened, letting in new portion. Was Roderik Heyl, the known attorney. Then miss Roberta Haylprinn in accompaniment Semyuela Fetcera. These two involved with Ester Jack aging friendship "on theatre", and she has met their not that that ñåðäå÷íåå, ïðèâåòëèâåå, than the other guests, but a little careless and relaxed. Has As if thrown one of the masks not pretence, but decebcy and custom, what obtrudes the life many and many human relations. She has said simply: "À, regard, Bertha, regard, Sem", and the main told in elusive fine tone: they all three - from theatre, beside them total work. Here, there was else much people, connected with scene. Two young actors of the Amateur theatre accompanied the directors of this theatre - two turning gray old given Bessy Leyn and Hittites Uorren. À except seen and gifted personalities was here and some small fry. Making look younger girl - äóáëåðøà dancers in one of the repertory theatre, and êîñòþìåðøà from the same theatre, and else woman, who at one time was an ïîìîùíèöåé mrs Jack. Ibo when to Ester Jack came the success and glory, she has not forgotten the old friends. That is why, made by celebrity, she has avoided the shallow tedium and monotonies, which become fate so many celebrities. She too loved the life to be fenced from common simple and good people. In adolescence her were well introduce;make familiar with sadness, insecurity, adversities, grief and disillusionments, and she this did not forget. Did Not forget she and that, with whom has ever reduced her(its) life. She possessed rare gratis strong and faithfull friendship and with all present guest nearly, even the çíàìåíèòûìè, äðóæèëà for many years, but were amongst them and friends her(its) childhood. The calm woman appeared In count;calculate;list new guests with sad person by name Margaret Etinger. She has brought with itself husband, the known reprobate. But husband her(it), John Etinger, has grabbed with itself flowering get younger woman, its next mistress. And this ïðåñòðàííîå trio offended the eye, unpleasant âûäåëÿÿñü in so worthy and exquisite society. The Guests else arrived with the whole speed, with what haved time to their raise the lift. Came Steven Huk with its sister Mayors and, çäîðîâàÿñü, has stretched the landlady a weaken, faded hand. Herewith he was by half unscrewed since ïðåóâåëè÷åííî longing for, has grown old-indifferent type, with contempt nigh only. - Well, how do you do, Ester... - has mumbled he; afterwards has mildly turned to her head and has added, as if only presently having recalled: - See here, I you something prines. - Gave her book and again otvernulsya. -, probably, rather interesting, - ñêó÷ëèâî has explained on. - Can be, want to. But will bring he splendid album drawing Peter Breygelya, - Ester Jack beautifully knew this album, the price to him was such a that even her(its) provided in terror. She quickly ãëÿíóëà on title page - a fine handwriting there âûâåäåíà were a strait-laced inscription: "Ester - from Steven Huka". And suddenly she has recalled, as once upon a time, weeks two back, in talk with he have for a moment mentionned that her(its) interests the album Breygelya; so here is that signifies this gift: Steven, on its îáûêíîâåíèþ, is studiously closed by mask of the done indifference, but action him(it), as if quick bright ray, has flashed deep essence his(its) beautiful and generous showers. Ester was flooded bright color, something have intercepted her throat, tears welled up on eye. - Oh, Steve! - an âûäîõíóëà ona. - You the most good... the most amazing... He literally øàðàõíóëñÿ from it. The expression of the contemptuous tedium appeared On pale faded person, affected, deliberate before that that this was shown funny if brown eye did not watch with such plea. This was a glance of the person noble and proud showers, strange, sick and sufferring, glance afraid child, - so watches one,, even having jumped back from human vicinity and protection, in which he so needs and which so thirsts, in ditto time íåìî, plaintive implores: "For the sake of the whole saint if ìîæåøü, ïîìîãè! I terribly!" Ester has read all this in eye Steven in that wink, when he haughtily from she was unscrewed, and this glance has pierced her(it), as knife. In lighting up of burning pity she has felt, as strange and amazing person, what this inconceivable prodigy. "Ah you poor fellow! - was thought ey. - That this with you? What you are afraid? That you tear apart, say on favour?.. Strange essence, - thought she already spokoynee. - But after all he such fine, good and net!" And here, as if having read her(its) thoughts, on help came her(its) daughter Elma. Coldblooded, íåâîçìóòèìàÿ, charming, she got through the whole ãîñòèíóþ to Huku, has said carelessly: - À, Steve, good evening. You Want anything drink? The Brining salvation question. Steven Huk much loved this girl. He liked that she so flawlessly holds and with such taste is dressed, such friendly and in ditto time impregnable çàìêíóòàÿ. With her he felt itself as if protected, in she found the protection, which him so came short. And he immediately îòêëèêíóëñÿ. - That you èçâîëèëè to offer, for me more seductive, - has mumbled he, îòîøåë to heater and leaned;leant to him, exactly bored spectator, was turned nigh only by back to being present, as if type all these oppressing stodgy and dim of the personalities was him unbearable. This refined noncommittal, âû÷óðíûé answer was very typical of Steven Huka and gave ñâîåîáðàçíûé key to his(its) literary stiletto. The Author ensemble tale, which he printed in journal to live with mother two together, he has wrote also several best books. They have brought him well-earned popularity, but had a no demand. He and itself ironic has noticed once upon a time that, as it is seen, nigh only all have read his(its) books, but nobody nor one has not bought. In book these, either as amongst people, he tried the affected contemptuous tedium, complex stylistic èçûñêàìè and long-winded clever èíîñêàçàíèÿìè close shyness and çàñòåí÷èâîñòü. Mrs Jack not without ðàñòåðÿííîñòè has watched after Huku, was afterwards turned to his(its) sister (this cheerful aging virgo with merrily brilliant eye and catching laughter possessed same charm, as brother, but nowhere near did not suffer, as he, emotional torments and doubts) and has whispered: - That this today with Steve? Beside it such person, as if he was shown ghosts. - No, his(its) has only frightened the next pixy, - has objected the Mayors Huk and zasmeyalasi. - Last week beside it on nose âñêî÷èë ïðûùèê, and he all examinred closely him(it) in mirror, while has not assured itself that this cancer. The Ma a little with wit not ñîøëà. He çàïåðñÿ beside itself in room, did not leave from there and several days nor with whom did not talk. Four days has back sent her note with detailed edifications about their own bury - he no way wants to his(its) ñîæãëè. But the third day left in pajamas and with all us were forgiven. Has Declared that more him not to live, all are finished. Well, but today he has reconsidered and has solved be dressed and go to you on acceptance. The Mayors Huk again mellow burst out laughing, comic has shrugged, has swung the head and mixed with crowd of the guests. But mrs Jack, still with several anxious persons, turned to Dzheyku Abramsonu, which ïîäîøåë to her at the end this strange talk and already minute-other tender stroked from time to time her(its) hand. Intemperance has imposed on Dzheyka Abramsona indelible seal. This was èçíåæåííûé, sensual, pretty seedy life oldster with person of the ravenous bird. But, oddly to say, person this is not deprived was an ñâîåîáðàçíîé of attractive power. It breathed and endless patience, and some öèíè÷åñêîé óìóäðåííîñòüþ, and weary humour. Seemed, this person will die on-paternalistic all on light to understand. As if he extraordinarily old and weary envoy to lifes - and veins so long, has ed so much, èçúåçäèë so much different countries that even to carry the tailcoat to him in the same way accustomed, what breathe, he holds with such weary, careless grace, in tailcoat as if and was born. Several minutes back, having returned ãîðíè÷íîé coat and silk cylinder, he tired by gait fell into ãîñòèíóþ and moved to landlady. Is it Immediately seen was that he pertains to Ester Jack with genuine tenderness. While she talked with Mayors Huk, he silently careful ãëÿäåë on it, as if good-natured hawk. He did not reduce the eye from her(its) person. Under êðþ÷êîâàòûì by nose was hidden smile; afterwards he has taken the wrinkled paw her(its) small hand and was taken ëåãîíüêî stroke from time to time the satin skin ïîâûøå cysts. In this and frank ñòàðèêîâñêàÿ lazy sensuality, and in ditto time amazing paternalistic softness. It Is Seen was that this person possessed on its age many charming woman and did not yet forget their value and adore them, but already ïåðåøåë from strong passions to related good will. And in the same way paternalistic favourably he has spoken. - You ïðåìèëî look! - has said on. - You today ïðåõîðîøåíüêàÿ! - He all smiled its hawk smile and all stroked from time to time the hand mrs Dzhek. - Cvetet, as rose! - an äîêîí÷èë he, as before not reducing with it ñòàðèêîâñêèõ weary eye. - About, this you, Dzheyk! - in surprise and with joy âîñêëèêíóëà she, as if only presently his(its) zametila. - As prettily that you came! I and did not know that you returned. I thought, you as far back as Europe. - Was, has yes ñïëûë! - smirked the oldster. - You wonderfully look, Dzheyk! The Journey has gone you on profit. You have slimmed down. Probably, treated in Carlsbad, yes? - No, I did not treat, - with importance has reported starik. - I kept óáèåòó... Ester Jack is bored burst out laughing. The Whole red, ate to be running at leg, she caught on to Robertu Haylprinn and has helpless moaned: - About, gentlemen! No, you heard? He sat on diet! Guarantee, she his(its) a little has not terminated! After all he so loves to eat! Miss Haylprinn ïðåâåñåëî the ôûðêíóëà, on friendly person her(its) run the most broad smile so eye changed in a little observable ùåëî÷êè. - I kept óáèåòó with most departure, - has said Dzheyk. - Left I quite sick. But returned in english steamship, - an äîêîí÷èë he the most sad tone, but with such significant grin that both women(woman)s irrepressible burst out laughing. - Oh, Dzheyk! - an âîñêëèêíóëà Ester. - As you, poor fellow, èññòðàäàëèñü! I after all know, you always not too complained the english a kitchen! - Well, now I her(its) feel sorry as far back as ten once less, - ãîðåñòíî and submissively said the oldster. She was again mended from laughter, afterwards barely âûãîâîðèëà: - A Brussels sprouts? - She most, - ïðåñåðüåçíî has confirmed Dzheyk. - Same most, which me there helm ten years back. In this trip I beside they saw the brussels sprouts, which place in British ìóçåå. And else they feed all same good old fish, - has added he, significant smirking. - A Dead Fish epidemic deathes? - an ïðîâîðêîâàëà Roberta Haylprinn and broke into a smile and became looks like Buddu. - No, - sad has objected the oldster, - fish Dead epidemic deathes for them it is not enough destroying. Now they give on table boiled flannel - yes under good old sauce else!.. Remember this their beautiful sauce? - And he so echidna smirked that mrs Jack once again whole çàòðÿñëàñü in fit of irresistible gaiety. - You about that horrible... tasteless... turbid-yellow paste? - has asked she VWXbe drafty laughter. - Here is imenno. - an Oldster has grown old the ïîêèâàë, he had a look tired by life mudreca. - Here is exactly... You have guessed... They and presently feed that sauce... So the whole inverse road I sat on óáèåòå! - For the first time with begin talk in his(its) languid voice ed the note ozhivleniya. - Carlsbad simply nothing in contrast with óáèåòîé, which I happened to to bear in english parohode. - He has a little lingered, weary eye his(its) have flashed biting nasmeshkoy. - Such meal is fit for wretch õðèñòèàí only. This mentioning about èíîïëåìåííèêàõ, in which was drafty the scornful grin, somehow on especial has connected all three, and suddenly they appeared in the new world. On lip of the oldster played a little observable clever and cool smile, but women(woman) âåñåëèëèñü extraordinarily, and all of these fine understood each other. And is now seen was that they on-persisting at the same time - a children ancient, gifted, âñåçíàþùåãî tribe, - and on the part of, îò÷óæäåííî, with derisive contempt ãëÿäÿò on dark and ignorant people other, undermost sort, not participial to their cognitions, not noted same seal. And immediately it passed - ìãíîâåíüå, in which told their èçâå÷íàÿ îáîñîáëåííîñòü. On person of the womans now glowed only calm smile, all three newly belonged to whole world. - A Poor fellow Dzheyk! - sympathetically uttered Ester. - And bad you was! - And suddenly, having recalled, rave âîñêëèêíóëà: - But Carlsbad having dyed simply before impossibility, truth?.. You Know, after all at one time we with Bertha there visitted! - Under these word she tender has taken Robertu under hand and merrily, active continued: - I you never told about that trip, Dzheyk?.. This was miraculously! About, the gentlemen! - aloud burst out laughing she and was turned to smiling podruge. - Realy possible forget that first three-four days, Bertha? Remember, what we were hungry? Thought that anymore âûäåðæèì! Here is, there was terror, truth? - And seriously, even with perplexity tried to explain: - But afterwards... know itself not... this much strange... but we somehow got accustomed, truth, Bertha? The First days were simply terrible, but afterwards became like as don't care. Probably, from weakness that... I know only that we with Bertha three weeks did not get up with beds - and after the first days this was already not so strashno. - She suddenly from showers rassmeyalasi. - I litter, we quite çàìó÷èëè each other - all recalled differ the most tasty food. We then have conceived: as soon as we shall finish the rate of the treatment, immediately go in some splendid restaurant and shall book the most huge, the most luxurious dinner!.. Well and here is, - she again çàñìåÿëàñü, - want believe, want no, has come the day, when treatment ended and doctor we have allowed to get up and eat... but we with Bertha else several hours lay and dreamed of different tasty meal. This was miraculously! - She has compressed the tips a finger and comic ïðè÷ìîêíóëà, expressing enjoyment from what-that unheard-of luscious, and rave âçâèçãíóëà, as small, squinted eye her(its) merrily blesteli. - You and did not hear about all âêóñíîñòè, which we with Bertha were going to to overeat. We have solved to make the most present feast!.. Well and here is, finally we have got up and were dressed. And think only! We before that have weakened, hardly held up and about, but don't care parcels of land their own the most natty charge and have hired on such solemn mate "ðîëëñ-royce" and chauffeur in livery! Uzh probably, you for the whole its life not âèäàëè such splendid äàì! We óñåëèñü in machine and have rolled straight as queens. Veleli chauffeur to take us in the most expensive, luxurious restaurant. And he îòâåç us for city, there was much beautifully. This restaurant was as the present lock! - She has looked over the listeners shining glazami. - Us have saw else afar and, probably, have solved that we members to royal family, so they all were thrown into panic. The Lackey âûñòðîèëèñü in row on ïîëêâàðòàëà nigh only and all time bowed and bowed. About, this was splendid! For the sake of such cost to agonize, âûñòðàäàòü whole this rate of the treatment... Well and here is! - She has dribbled the collocutor by glance and èñïóñòèëà heavy breath, feasible most deep dejection and razocharovaniya. - Want believe, want no, sowed;sown we for table finally, and turned out to be, piece does not go in throat! We so long dreamed of this sumptuous feast... so studiously, before trivialities ïðîäóìàëè menu... but only whole and have eaten that on soft-boiled egg, yes and that wholly not îäîëåëè! And already ñûòû here is so! - She has conducted the small hand across gorla. - We a little did not burst into tears from distress! As strange, truth? Probably while sit on hungry diet, belly cringes and becomes quite tiny. So much days lie in beds and all think, what enormous dinner óïëåòåøü as soon as get up, but when sit for table, does not ìîæåøü even to cope with wretch soft-boiled egg! Mrs Jack çàìîë÷àëà, has shrugged and has scattered the hand with such amusing bewilderring mine that all around burst out laughing. Even weary, âèäàâøèé types oldster Dzheyk Abramson, which, inherently, completely and did not listen her(its) come alive speeches, but only all time with frozen by smile watched her in person, now smiled a little òåïëåå, previously than leave and talk with others. Miss Haylprinn and mrs Jack remained two together in the middle ãîñòèíîé - two so miscellaneouses and so bright personification richly gifted feminine nature. Each was is as if created for its dug. Each is exceed with she was masterred and has found the ways full and free, without hindrances, show its talent. Miss Haylprinn was a woman more worthy, and this clear was read in all her(its) look. The Inborn organizer, she knew how to adjust any deal, and at a glance clear was that in scrape and clash to practical life this kind lady will give one hundred spectacleses to onward any man. In her was something oleaginous - ìàñëÿíèñòîñòü combustible, which provides with the life and motion the most powerful motors. Already for many years she reigned on Brodvee, leading famed theatre, and her(its) sharp wit and business grasp against the will adored even furious enemies. In her(its) problem entered to promote the play, manage production, keep a check on collection and under that, as they scanty and unreliable, not to allow áðîäâåéñêèì predator to fleece the troupe before thread. The Brilliant successes of this women(woman), power to her(its) will, stability and courage are seen were in all her(its) engraving look. Not even too tempted watcher could understand that in unequal duel between miss Haylprinn and predator with Brodveya victory was got not predator. Be can, in this frantic, ceaseless fight, arousing such cruel passions, such unquenchable hate that eye flow into bile, but mouth wries trouble an ãðèìàñîé, is woke;waked çàñòàðåëûé scar on haggard person, - be can, line miss Haylprinn ïîñóðîâåëè and have roughened? Be can, lips her(its) sullen were ed? And chin emerges onward, as if granite bluff? The Mark on her traces of the battles? Not a bit did not can be. Than violent struggle, that kind her(its) person. Than êîâàðíåé of the intrigue, in which involves her(its) life Brodveya, that good-natured and tuneful sounds her(its) juicy chuckle. On this-that ground she and prospers. Someone from her(its) colleagues so and has said: "Roberta and itself does not understand that she whole lucky and wholly feels itself in its poetries, when gambols amongst thundering snake". And here is she cost(stand)s and talks with mrs Jack, strangely beautiful and nor on who not similar. The Grey hairs çà÷åñàíû à-ëÿ Pompadur, unflappable certain bearing else underlined splendid free and graceful gown. And in all look nearly improbable softness and âêðàä÷èâîñòü, but without shade of the hypocrisy. And, however, having stared, notice that these merrily brilliant eye, which so mellow squint in smile, indeed quip, exactly steel blades, and from them nothing do not óêðîåòñÿ. Oddly to say, mrs Jack was a nature uncomplicated, than her(its) sweetie and kind girlfriend. Essentially, not a bit not more acute, tempted, clever, full not smaller determination to obtain its in this severe world, she, however, went other fetter to purposes. Nearly all considered that she "very romantic person". The Friends spoke of her: "such beautiful", "such good", "quite child". Yes, all this was faithfully. Ibo she has early understood that this much comfortable, when beside you merry rose ëè÷èêî and from you so and winnows the naive surprise and baby simple-heartedness. Her(its) unsure, but mellow smile, turned to friends, as if spoke: "You, seems, it is necessary me ñìååòåñü? But why? Uzh do not know that I such has done and has said. Certainly, me for you not to, you all terribly clever and quick-witted... but don't care me merrily and I you all much love". Nearly for all Ester Jack was exactly and only such. And only a few knew, how much in her hidden any, what immediately will not discern. Knew this and kind lady, which presently with she talked, standing up in the middle her(its) ãîñòèíîé. From glance miss Roberty Haylprinn did not slip away nor united trick this nearly unconsciously deceptive simple-heartedness. Be can, just so, when Ester äîñêàçàëà its amusing history and with comic perplexity has looked at Dzheyka Abramsona, easily moved to laughter èñêîðêà in eye miss Haylprinn has flashed up a little brighter, enigmatic smile, like smile Buddy, became else little serene, but juicy laughter - else a little catching. And, can be that's why-that, obeying sudden blast âñåïîíèìàþùåãî empathies and genuine tenderness, miss Haylprinn bent over and kissed rouge ùå÷êó Ester. But that although expression surprised rave simple-heartedness nor on wink does not ñîøëî from her(its) person, beautifully understood that occurs in shower of the girlfriend. Ibo on short, hardly perceptible wink of the women(woman) has watched to each other in eye straight, not mist glance blanket to cunning evasiveness. And this was a wink, worthy ãîìåðè÷åñêîãî of the laughter god. Mrs Jack, shining smile, friendly met the friends, but between that in distant small piece of coal of her(its) consciousness hid quite other care. Ibo one guest was not yet, and she unrelenting thought about him. "Where he, should like that I know? - was thought ey. - Why did not come? If only has not drank yesterday spare! - She îêèíóëà the alarm glance natty crowd gostey. - If b he so did not avoid to be in society! - has impatiently thought ona. - If b him was pleasantly meet the people... go somewhere on evening! Well yes that there... uzh such he there is. His(its) will not remake, and try the íå÷åãî. Yes I and not to should like to, ÷òîá he was other". And here he came. "Finally-that! - with joy and with relief has thought ona. - Came - and shipshape!" On truth dialect, before that what come out of house, George Uebber has pretty been enough strong to ïîëó÷øå prepare to liing ahead test. From he reeked the cheap genie, briliance was äèêîâàòûé in eye, but motion - quick and several gusty usual. And all he was, as it was expressed about itself Ester, "d". "If b only he ïîñïîêîéíåé pertained to people... to my friends... to all acquaintance of mine, - thought ona. - Simply do not understand, why they his(its) so irritate. Yesterday, when he has rung me, he was such strange! Has Slandered some rubbish. That this on he has found? À, well... presently this not it is important. The Main, he came. As I his(its) love!" The Person her(its) çàñâåòèëîñü the tenderness, heart çàáèëîñü quick, and she will go toward George. - À, how do you do, nice! - has said she laskovo. - Finally-that. As I pleased! I uzh was afraid that you and truth will not come. He ed and tender and ãðóáîâàòî, here all mixed: çàñòåí÷èâîñòü and militancy, humility and call, pride, hope, love, ïîäîçðèòåëüíîñòü and doubts. He not at all wanted to go on this acceptance. With the first minute, as she his(its) has invited, he frantic was beaten off, so and poured the pretext. The Day for daytime they wrangled and, finally, she has taken the top and has wrested beside it promise to come. But approached the nominated day, and George once again çàêîëåáàëñÿ, but on the eve hour strode from corner in corner, agonized indecision and cursed itself on than light cost(stand)s. Finally, already for midnight, with despairs was grasped for telephone tube, ïåðåáóäèë beside Jack whole house while äîçâàëñÿ Ester, and has declared her that will not come. And has anew brought her all their own reasons. He and itself their plainly did not understand, but essence was in that that he and Ester exist in too miscellaneouses, incompatible world - and he certain, so he prompts and scent and reason that him necessary to save get fat independence from her(it), Ester, the world, otherwise he simply will not be able to do its deal. In made despair he tried her all this explain, but she, is seen, at all could not take in sense, where he bends. Under the end she and came to despair itself a little not. First listened with annoyance and has said: will be enough âàëÿòü fool. Afterwards ðàçîáèäåëàñü, âñïûëèëà and has reminded - after all he gave the word! - We already one hundred once all this outtalked! - has nearly yelled she with tear in golose. - You promised, George, you and know itself! But now all are made. Canceal nothing it is impossible, late. Really you me so will lead! Before such plaintive plea he has not stood firm. Certainly, this acceptance is made was not for the sake of it one, and if he will not come, nothing do not ñîðâåòñÿ. His(its) absence will notice one only Ester. But he and âïðàâäó although and clamp heart, promised to come and understood that all his(its) discourses are reduced for it to single asked question: will restrain he word? The Ithaca, he was once again conquered. And here is he here, embarrassed, bewildered, and should like to only one - find oneself somewhere for òðèäåâÿòü grounds. - I certain, you will much merrily! - with briskness spoke meantime Ester. - Here is see! - She has firmly compressed his(its) ruku. - I you ïîçíàêîìëþ with heap any folk. But you, probably, hungry. First ïîäè sing. Here mass of any tasty things, all your loved. I deliberately for you tried. Podi in table and support. But me else it is necessary to stay here, take the guests. She îòîøëà to with newly arrived, but George has awkwardly frozen on place, èñïîäëîáüÿ looking over brilliant society. Looked he in this minute enough absurdly. The Low forehead framed short ïîäñòðèæåííûìè black hair, burning eye, small and as if ñïëþñíóòûå facial features, long, a little not before elbows drooping hands with folded over broad cyst... more than ever he resemble(go)ed on ape, and resemblance else emphasized awkward sat tuxedo on him. Having Noticed him(it), people watched with perplexity, afterwards indifferently were turned away and continued to speak of its. "So here is they, her(its) ðàñïðåêðàñíûå friends! - ñìóùåííî and ill thought Dzhordzh. - I could beforehand guess, - mumbled he about itself, itself not knowing, about than this he could guess. Such are a well-groomed physiognomies, such in them coolness, self-confidence and ìíîãîîïûòíîñòü that George around seemed the offensive grin though nobody and did not think his(its) brush against and oskorbiti. - I shall show him!" - ïðåãëóïî has muttered he VWXbe drafty teeths, itself not knowing what bears in mind. With these word he was steeply turned and, stealling through festive crush of people, äâèíóëñÿ in table. - You know... See here!.. This was spoken quickly, with zest, õðèïëîâàòûì by voice, full strange glamour - and, çàñëûøàâ this voice, mrs Jack instinctively smiled one, surrounded her(it) in this minute. - But here is and Emi! - has said she. Turned and saw the head to cunning fairy in wild halo resin êóäðåé, snub nose, disposit teeny freckle, ïðåìèëóþ ðîæèöó, which radiated straight-òàêè boyish rave activity. And has thought: "What she beautiful! And there is in her something such... such she charming, such net soul!" But hardly having returned mentally äàíü delights curly and as if quite young fairy, mrs Jack has felt that this not quite faithfully. No, beside Emi Karlton was much miscellaneouses value, but nobody has not named her(its) net. The Truth to say, woman with evil glory she was not considered on one-sole reason: even on yardstick NEW YORK this her(its) glory has alterred by sawing all limits. Karlton was known all, and all about it known was all, but that here truth and as authentic person under this charming mask äåâè÷üåé to gaiety, this did not know nobody. The Main âåõè? That zh, was born she under the most lucky star, in fairy-tale rich family. The Childhood her(its) passed as beside persisting dollar princess, her(its) groomed and cherished, îáåðåãàëè and barriered, she grew, exactly in gold(en) hothouse, and nor in than did not know the refusal. Afterwards, as as one should all scion "ñëèâîê society", learned;learnt in most road institutions and travelled that on Europe then in Sautgempton, in NEW YORK, on Palm-whip. To eighteen years begin "leave in light" and was glorified by beauty. To nineteen left married. À to twenty was already divorced, and on name her(its) ëåãëî the spot. The Process was loud and scandalous. Even in that time she behaved so immoral that husband without labour has won an action. Thereafter, - but passed already seven years, - a life her(its) impossible was mark some date. Although her was else far before thirty, she as if has for ages conducted in lawlessness. Will Become anyone recall other scandalous history, connected with her(its) name, and suddenly remembers suddenly, only hand ðàçâåäåò: "Yes no! Can Not be! After all this happened whole three years back, but thereafter she has else haved time to... yes after all she..." - and îøåëîìëåííî is crowded on curly head of the young fairy, on snub nose and boyish come alive ðîæèöó, and watches with such feeling, is woke;waked before him awesome head of the Medusa or certain insidious Circeya, whose age - eternity and whose heart age, as hades itself. And time as if lost the sense, reality lost any plausibilities. See her(it), here is as presently in NEW YORK, - laughing personification to lucky innocence in baby freckle, - but will pass the week, leave on deals in Paris - and will catch there her(it) in gathering the most heinous reprobate; having lost the memory from opium, profaned, getted all dirty, enjoys she embrace some scum, so deeply having ed in ìåðçîñòíîé êëîàêå, as if was born and âûðîñëà in slum, but the other lifes never and did not know. After the first marriage and divorce she else twice was be married. The Second marriage lasted whole only twenty hours and is recognized was invalid. The Third ended that that husband Emi çàñòðåëèëñÿ. À before these çàìóæåñòâ and after, and in gap, and between deal, and at the same time, again and again, here and there, on native land and abroad, on seeds epidemic deathes and on any scrap all five parts of the world, now, and ïðèñíî, and in ages of the ages... possible her(its) name immoral? No, so about she will not say. Ibo she was as free wind, but after all air will not define the miserable word "immoral". Simply she has rescued with all without analysis - with white and black, with æåëòûìè, rose, green and mauve... but she never was immoral. That was time, when romantic literature âîñïåâàëà beautiful, but fallen creation, charming lady in green hat, never missed event to. The History this all introduce;make familiar with: heroine her(its) - an ñòðàäàëèöà, victim of the cruel fate and accident, whose doom has caused the tragic circumstance, her not ïîäâëàñòíûå, and she for them not in answer. There were people, which in every way tried to justify Emi Karlton, expressing her(its) here is such romantic ãåðîèíåé. Went the multiple legends about that that "has for the first time pushed her(it) on way of the sin". One touching version referred begin end to that hour, when âîñåìíàäöàòèëåòíÿÿ naive ïðîêàçíèöà simply from mischief on dinner party in Sautgemptone in whitness of ensemble èìåíèòûõ âäîâñòâóþùèõ persons çàêóðèëà cigarette. On assurances storyteller, this-that harmless lightheaded øóòî÷êîé Emi and incurred the trouble on itself. Then-that, spoke they, titled âäîâèöû and have convicted her(it) definitively and irrevocable. Have Earned the cruel languages, as snow lump grew the gossip, good name of the girl âûâàëÿëè in dirt. Carried to despairs poor äåâî÷êà and truth lost the way true - first addicted to blame, for wine will go the lovers, but there and opium, and... and all miscellaneous. Of course, all this was simply romantic raving. Emi and âïðàâäó fell victim tragic æðåáèÿ, has only created she his(its) their own hand. As that was with äðàæàéøèì Brutom, blame here lay beneath the surface not in location of the stars, but in her most. Ibo, made so many rare and precious grant, which comes short majority of the people, - a wealth, beauty, charm, wit and life energy, - she is deprived was a will, stability, endurances. But deprived whole this, she turned out to be the slave their own advantage. The Exorbitant wealth allowed her to indulge any its whimsy and whim, and nobody never taught her(it) from what that nor was refuse. In this sense she was a true child of its time. The Whole her(its) life passed under sign of the mad velocities, shocking change, tempestuous febrile motion, - inexhaustible, it in most itself culled power and untamable, madly grew, not knowing neither respites, nor limit. She has haved time to around to visit, "all saw" - as possible anything see from window of the fast train, which devours eighty mph. And, by leaps and bounds exhausted spare whole that possible to revise in kaleidoscope îáùåïðèçíàííûõ spectacle and äèêîâèíîê, long ago was already taken research the secrets more whimsical and sinister. Here once again wealth and communication amongst strong world ñåãî have opened before her door, çàìêíóòûå before simple mortal tightly. And now she was on short leg with many mug the most refined decadent "high light" in the most largest city of the world. In its worship before all unusual she penetrated on the most dark fringes of the lifes. Her(its) acquaintance with "bottom" NEW YORK, London, Paris and Berlin could envy the police body. Yes and police body VWXbe drafty finger looked this fairy-tale rich women(woman) at dangerous adventures. Some fetter, which âåäîìû only power propertied, financial or political bigwig, she has got the police certificate, but with him - a right âîäèòü its low and long racing machine, not keeping no rules of the street motion. And although Emi was shortsighted, she curl was carried on the coming alive pathway Manhattan, yes else police returned honour this flying past mad machine. But after all one car she has already split, and young fcompanion(satellite) her(its) herewith perished, and in addition police body knew that once upon a time Emi participated in drinking-bout, during which was kill one of the ãëàâàðåé of the criminal world. Here is therefore-that and seemed that, under its wealth, the authorities and frantic energy, Emi in any country can get all, what nor will want. At one time, the people spoke: "Well that else Emi íà÷óäèò in next time?" But now spoke otherwise: "Yes really she not yet all tried?" If life was reduced to rash motion only and sharp sensations, Emi, seems, and âïðàâäó already whole her(its) has exhausted. The only thing remained - race else quick, feel new change, new fury and sharp sensations - before the end. But that at the end? The End could be only one - a destruction, and seal the destruction was already mark. It was reflected on eye Emi, vision she changed, the world ïðåäñòàâàë before it in distorted and split painful îáëè÷üå. She tried in lifes all - but did not try to live. But now was already late, too long ago and too irreparable she lost the way. And remained only one - die. "Here is if all for she formed on-other!" - with regret thought the people, what thought presently Ester Jack, ãëÿäÿ on charming ÷åðíîêóäðóþ head. And set off in hopeless quest on labyrinth past: where secret, in what minute she was losts? And repeated over and over again: "Trouble lay in wait for here is here... or here... no, yonder, see?.. Ah if..." Ah if people are blinded were not from rafts and shelters, not from feeling and passions, but from clay simply! If! - You know... See here!.. With these exclamations, in which so was often expressed objectless âîñòîðæåííîñòü and ate the aroused thought, Emi âûõâàòèëà èçî ðòà cigarette and hoarsely, gusty burst out laughing, is immediately seen was - she does not òåðïèòñÿ all open that overfills her(its) such ëèêîâàíüåì. - See here! - again âûêðèêíóëà ona. - You only compare this with åðóíäîé, which we present now! See here! Well, no comparisons! She victorious burst out laughing, as if all and each have most certainly understood that she wanted to say these indistinct cheer, frantic was delayed and newly jerk has deprived from lips cigarette. Emi was exactly certain luminary in close-fitting êîëüöå fcompanion(satellite), amongst which was found and her(its) next sweetheart - a young japanese, and his(its) direct predecessor, young jew; now, the whole this circle moved to heater and considered hinging on him portrait mrs Jack. The Portrait showerred with praise, and he their wholly deserved. That was one of the best work Henry Mellou at early period his(its) creative activity. - No, you only see and think, as long ago this is written! - exultant yelled Emi, showing on portrait short flap sigarety. - And what she then was beautiful, and presently what beautiful! - an âîñêëèêíóëà she rave, hoarsely burst out laughing and with annoyance îêèíóëà all around burning glance sulphur-green glaz. - You know! Simply no the comparisons! - She was impatiently delayed by cigarette. And, having thought that has said something not that, continued nearly with despair: - See here! - She has angrily chucked the cigarette in flaming kamin. - After all this so clear! - has mumbled she, than has definitively brought the listeners in perplexity. And suddenly addressed to Steven Huku (he still stood here, in party, leaning against on corner fire regiments), demanding has asked: - When this was, Steve?.. You know... twenty years back, faithfully? - Yes uzh not less, - with cool tedium in voice was called back Huk. He worrisome and ñìóùåííî moved backward further out and was turned to ïîäîøåäøåé youth nigh only spinoy. - I have even said, around thirty, - has thrown he through shoulder and carelessly, indifferently has named datu. - In my opinion, portrait is written in a thousand nine hundred first or âòîðîì - not so, Ester? - has asked he mrs Jack, which just ïîäîøëà to mug Emi. - Approximately in nine hundred first, not so? - About than this you? - has asked Ester Jack and then and there continued: - À, portrait? No, Steve. He is written in nine hundred... (she remembered suddenly instant, nobody, except Huka, this has not noticed)... the pole. Here she has caught on his(its) pale, longing for person shade smiles and ãëÿíóëà quickly, admonitory, but he has only mumbled: - À... signifies, much later, I and has forgotten. Indeed he beautifully remembered, when is finished was a portrait, remembered and month, and even day. And, still speculating about feminine whim, has thought: "Before what all of these foolish! As she does not understand, after all any, who although anything heard about Mellou, in accuracy knows, when is written her(its) portrait". - Well, certainly, I then was quite äåâ÷îíêîé, - quickly explained mrs Dzhek. - a Years eighteen, but that and less... "And, became to be, now you fourty one, but that and less! - derisive has thought Huk. - No, my sweetie, you in timeses of this portrait was all twenty and you already third year was be married... and what for the sake of women(woman) lie!" His(its) analysed the annoyance and fury... He looked at Ester - in eye her(its) has flashed up the instant scare, nearly plea. He has tracked for her(its) glance and has seen the awkward figure George Uebbera, that was awkwardly trampled in door table, and him obviously was not on itself. "Here is it that! - has thought Huk. - This small... Probably, she has said him..." He has again recalled her(its) imploring glance, and in he budged sudden pity. But aloud he has only m
