Tomorrow Necessarily Will come P. 2 |

That black for Lohova day — was holiday, eve of orthodox Christmas. Certainly, here he is guilty: has forgotten, that year of the Rat has begun, has not concentrated, has not strained. To the people in a little shop, as well as is found in such kanunnyj day, — too much. Noise, a crush. Hours about eleven to a counter the boy-salapet of years of seven has squeezed: black ringlets from under a knitted hat, an eye big dark tumanjatsja tear, the person is plaintive-whining. — The uncle! — sobbing, he has told. — the uncle! Us today earlier from employment have released, and mamki houses are not present. The uncle, I am possible at you balalaechku I will leave? And that from it to walk — it stirs. And mum when will come during the lunchtime — I will back take away. We here nearby live, in 12‑этажке... Wonderful the boy! Usually such karapuzy with skripochkami in leather cases go, and here — a balalaika in a cellophane bag-cover: old by sight, unsightly... — Excuse! And where you study, in college, whether that? — Has grinned good-natured Lohov, accepting the tool. — No, in lycée! — has shouted, already escaping, the become cheerful child prodigy. Strange, musical schools like in colleges of arts, instead of in lycées have altered?. However, kakal a difference! To the people all arrived, money flew in cash desk a stream — to distract there is no time. Lohov has stuck a balalaika in a corner and has immediately forgotten about it. Approximately in half twelfth him the elderly solid man in dublyonke, pyzhike and in fotohromnyh zatemnevshih points has distracted from trading efforts. It has noticed a balalaika, for some reason has extremely become interested in it, has asked to show. Lohov the curious mister — the foreigner has decided at once, that. So it, in general, also has appeared. The visitor has sniffed at a balalaika from different directions, not removing points, has examined-has studied it and, having called up Lohova, has given out hohmu: I am supposedly intended to buy-get this balalaika for fifteen millions roubles... By itself, Lohov has burst out laughing, has told, priklanivajas, five "spasib" for a lovely joke, but the mister, appears, did not joke. He has been extremely excited, undertook to splash a saliva and to offer twenty millions, trying that conversation them was not heard by buyers. He has hasty started to explain, that itself lived once in Soviet Union, now owns in Germany whether a museum, whether a showroom and here has arrived to Russia behind exhibits for the museum, has learnt-has read in Moscow about invaluable balalaikas chernozyomnogo master Numerova, this Russian Stradivari, has come tearing along specially here, on its native land, already the purposes two weeks unsuccessfully searches, and here — such fantastic good luck!. Lohov tried to listen attentively, but it was distracted continually by exacting hails-questions of visitors. Meanwhile this foreign art dealer has taken out from a pocket dublyonki "Member of the Komsomol" the-fatty, has started to put to Ivan under a nose. Suddenly Lohov all fibers of soul has understood-has realised, that the destiny throws to it the most unique chance. And to begin with it is necessary to penetrate into an essence of this chance at least. It, hot apologising and clapping itself(himself) a palm in a breast, has shown the door shouting buyers, has locked a glass door, has seized the newspaper. There there was well very interesting note-information about baranovskom balalaechnyh affairs the master of the last century Numerove, was informed, that in "live" there was no more than ten the tools made its able fingers, and recently one such numerovskaja a balalaika has left at auction Sotbis for thirty thousand dollars... My God Jesus! Lohov has sat down on a stool, ozabochenno has scratched the bald spot wiped in search of rhymes, then took a precious-invaluable balalaika on knees as if the baby has shaken and sadly admitted what sell it cannot... But the temperamental foreigner has broken the pyzhik, having exposed the sweated bald head-plesh more solid, than at Lohova, and has started to persuade-convince even more hot with a speed about three hundred words in a minute. Yes, yes, he perfectly understands, that the young man about a museum does not believe, but it so!. And if and not so, that to the young man all the same personally balalaika on auction not to take out! And twenty five millions roubles (five thousand dollars!) are very good money and without any nervous efforts!. Let the young man will think see you tomorrow, will consult to the native... Lohov it has grasped. Certainly, directly here then, suddenly to become the inveterate swindler hardly, and here there is a possibility to save more or less fair mine at dishonest game. — Yes, yes! Thanks! Excuse! But come tomorrow. Tomorrow morning I wait for you and I promise: a violin... That is, fie, this balalaika will be yours for... For... Pyzhik has with authority confirmed: for twenty five Russian-Yeltsin lemons... This whole condition! * * * Yes, here it chance! Chance so chance... And what gift Ane not only for Christmas, but also by ninth anniversary from the date of their first meeting will turn out. Everything, they will be redeemed definitively on will, will throw to devils dog this selling — there will be a possibility to seek job to liking, to study somewhere. And main — though any time not to think of a bread piece, to finish job over the new collection of verses and to publish it at least in small circulation at own expense, to rent a hall for Anna's personal exhibition... However, stop! That ahead of time to dream, it is time and to operate. And Lohov has developed such rough activity that had not time to wipe sweat from a forehead and a bald head. It has with inspiration begun-undertook to change-overturn the destiny. At first it has cleaned completely cash desk: almost one million. Ivan has headlong rushed home, has begged Anna, plainly of nothing explaining not to spoil a surprise, to entrust it a family grist-jug. There it has appeared one and a half million. Well, it was necessary to go and fall heavily in feet to madam Elizarovoj. To It Lohov, certainly, in general anything to explain did not become, has only sworn a head, that tomorrow will return also this debt with percent, and all former to last kopeechki. The bald head of the son-in-law has not very much involved the sister - in-law, has muttered, that the receipt on the security of the share of apartment has written. Ivan has, of course, scribbled... When it, foamy, has ridden to "Elizarovsky", there on a porch already impatiently waited its boy-balalaechnik and it maman — the young nice young woman with light grey eyes and a fair-haired plait-tail from under a mink cap. Lohov, apologising and priklanivajas, has let in them, has locked a door, has hung out the tablet "Break" and such bosh zabormotal-zakanjuchil — at ears osvekolilis: and the wife at it the passionate music fan, and for a long time it about such ancient and sonorous balalaika dreamt, and here has come to it into shop yes has seen, and to buy for it for any money this balalaika has ordered, and to all other tomorrow anniversary of their wedding... Ivan fondly hoped, that when mummy of the child prodigy will hear the offered price (seven and a half millions!) — it will go crazy for pleasure, but that only even more postrozhela. It is visible, has scented the wrong. — Excuse, at me is not present more! — fairly admitted fair Lohov and for presentation has opened cash desk, has turned out pockets of trousers. — here though search! It, excuse, at the rate — one and a half thousand dollars! Really, excuse, a little for any balalaika?. — Ten millions! — unshakably grey-eyed madam, straightening out bright chernookogo cut off the boy who was obviously pleased with prospect to get rid of the hated tool in exchange for a heap of grandmas. — Well! Thanks! Excuse! — agreeing, zabormotal Lohov. — Now — seven and a half. However, is not present more! And I will give the receipt to you on two five hundred... Or here the passport as proof of ladies... Excuse! And tomorrow, after a dinner, you will approach, and I will return the others to you... You do not think, I will not deceive you, really! My word upon it! Excuse!. To it hardly, but have believed. A balalaika have left. And even the passport lohovsky did not take. Only money has taken away and has left. 7 500 000 roubles! * * * Itself Lohov next day has definitively believed-has understood, that it have thrown — only by the evening. And that after all till the dinner all looked-looked out zavitrinnoe space, on each knock of a door was thrown up and caught at a balalaika — all waited for the overseas visitor... But also it is not enough of it! Already after, along toward evening, — well nobody will believe! — he quite seriously waited "mummy" patsanchika to return it this foolish balalaika in exchange for the blood... Well, — loh lohom! * * * Further Ivan's life-destiny has first gone absolutely aslant and downhill. From its Yelizarov's shopkeeper's job vyshibla is by itself. But most svolochizm consisted in other: lovely lohovskaja the sister - in-law has applied-has involved all Jesuit and insolent forces-abilities to remove from itself this honourable-related rank. Yelizarov's Jesuit abilities has applied to elder sister and, at last, has convinced-has forced her to refuse Ivan, to leave it, to betray. And insolent elizarovskie forces have been involved against most Lohova. It simply was will throw out from apartment with one suitcase, foolish pishmashinkoj "Moscow" and one million roubles in a pocket in the form of definitive and unconditional calculation for apartment... When it in some days has come behind the passport where stamps about divorce and an extract already blackened, him once again have rigidly warned: if he does not leave Anna alone, will be unsteady here nearby — it bystrenko will send to a lock-up of year on three. Lohov it was known-guessed is not empty threats: Ivashke it was already executed fifteen and on a visit to Yelizarov the pimply youth — the sonny of the cop-colonel from regional militia has become constant visitor on smart "forde" akseleratnyj... Lohov, at all not having seen Anju, has left. * * * As they say, the full paragraph. Here and to fall to it in vagabonds-tramps, but as Ivan was already repeatedly convinced, in the latest, in most, apparently, naitupikovyj his life moment when already just right and about the soaped cord to think, there came suddenly an indulgence, the exit-turn from vital deadlock opened unexpectedly. It is literally in that day when it with the suitcase and proshtempelyovannym the passport sat gloomy at station where otlezhal already all sides for some spending the night, and solved-reflected where, in what edges to move, it has come across Toljan Skopjuk — the friend and the witness of its family-wedding happiness. Well, by itself, — embraces, a laughter, exclamations, pohlopyvanija on shoulders. Friends friends, and year, esteem, did not see, did not meet. To that of Roofing felt was in a permanent-chronic condition, that is tipsy, and Lohov since morning already prituljalsja time three at a rack of station restaurant — from here and meeting degree, from here and boiling of emotions. Have gone, naturally, to a rack to note event, and here the nonrandomness of a meeting from the point of view vyshnih forces here has cleared up. The matter is that Anatoly just waited a train to Moscow — goes behind definitive documents on departure... To Germany! How? What? Why?! That is why! It appears, Germans in expiation of the fault for the Second World War have invited to themselves to live the descendants-relatives destroyed by them of Jews... Generally Lohov plainly and has not understood an essence of the matter, he was only surprised-had amazed with one. — Excuse! Roofing felt, road, excuse! But you here at what? — That for affairs! — was puffed up Roofing felt Skopjuk. — As it at what? I on mother — the thoroughbred Jew!. More correctly — on the grandmother... Well, in a word, at them, at Jews, main parent blood is considered. And at my mother mother was the Jew... Your affairs, My God are wonderful! Roofing felt Skopjuk, provincial Russian strong drinking actor, became the Jew and with all family — the wife and three children — goes to live to Germany: at once there will receive new apartment, to it the solid grant while it will not overcome German language will be provided and will not be arranged on monetary service... — Excuse, Anatoly, but you though a word "Jew" at all forget, and that in strong prosak there you will get... — That for affairs! This all trifles, — has waved away Skopjuk and has drunk a portion of vodka. — here my apartment here excites me, — I do not wish it to sell. Suddenly there it will not turn out, and then and you will not return... It to leave easily... And a cat with a dog... And by the way, Vanyok, the friend, and you of that with a suitcase?. And here here business has cleared up, the mutually beneficial transaction has taken place. Lohov will while live in apartment Skopjukov, to protect it, to keep order, beat off from everyones bred prihvatizatorov... — The old man! — almost shouted, not paying attention to restaurant passengers, Skopjuk. — That for affairs! I grandmas will send-unfasten to you, that you and for utilities paid, and for phone. Not drejf — and you will remain. They, these fritsy, you know, what grandmas there to pay promise — to us, to actors of parched theatre, here and did not dream... That for affairs! However, towards the end of a meeting, already before train, Roofing felt-friend has thought suddenly and has felt as though sympathy for crash of home life Lohova. — That for affairs! It is a pity, Vanja, it is a pity! Your Anka — the woman quite good, here only kvyolaja, can, it and to the best as koroedov is not present... E-e-eh if I do not plane the, too, can, shchas on freedom would move... Though — I say lies, the rascal! Lenka mine — on light one such, is better not to find!. Drunk Roofing felt even undertook to persuade-ask Ivan to go immediately with a suitcase to it to a hut and to wait there for its returning from capital. But Lohov nevertheless perekantovalsja at station still two nights, has waited the friend, has helped Skopjukam to plunge into a train, has kissed each other at parting and there was on uncertain, but a long term the owner-owner of smart three-room apartment. Live and rejoice. * * * And Lohov has begun to live, in general, not bad. Skopjuki have left to it on municipal expenditure at once for three months, and then to send there were time two-three in a year really the promised money. Certainly, in any theatre or on a film studio there to Roofing felt-balamuta did not take — well in any way language enemy did not give in to it. It was necessary to recollect in due course Roofing felt the first trade, acquired once in the Soviet TECHNICAL TRAINING COLLEGE, and to be arranged on furniture betrib with the joiner... Lohovu too it was necessary — already in third time — to change the speciality. But in the beginning it has taken in lodges, hoping it to be lived-become impregnated, that no service-job distracted it from rhymes and free verses. In an average room, the former nursery, the married couple has lodged, old men-refugees from the Chechen Republic, and in the smallest room, a bedroom, the guy-student has located. The big room, a hall, Lohov has reserved only because there, in a furniture wall library Skopjukov of volumes in one hundred with which Ivan has enriched-has filled up with the treasured books which have been taken out from a suitcase was stored what-any, but nevertheless. Tenants, thanks God, have stolen up silent, yes Lohovu and not to get used was to municipal life-bytju. But soon a money room began not to suffice for rather prosaic reason — in vino veritas! Ivan has started to have a drink and — to have a drink krepenko. When in loneliness to drink became at all unbearable, he tried to tempt first time on sobutylnichestvo tenants-neighbours, but those have appeared who the nondrinker, who jazvennikam. Then Lohov undertook pohazhivat in the press House. Earlier he quailed to enter into this Temple of the Word, opuses the poetic sent by mail, the same order received also ridiculous gonorarii. And here the second has once come in a vzbodryonno-courageous condition of the spirit... It was pleasant. In the regional literary organisation, in a shabby office on 6th floor, have met him hospitably. However, as it has then noticed, there all met hospitably, especially if the visitor already had an elixir of inspiration in a portfolio or a pocket or on the first hint ran behind it in the nearest lump. Lohov time has run, the second, and then already on equal with others both was thrown off, and treated from gifts of other visitors of a literary staff. Here, if to continue comparison, tolklis-kuchkovalis same four-five profliteratorov as if staff officers, yes two-three signal of litaktiva, and baranovskih members of the Union of writers (person fifteen) Ivan so never and has not seen other army: whether, as well as it is necessary, sat on houses and wrote, whether, on the contrary, writing have absolutely thrown, whether, at last, because of age and illnesses have at all forgotten to be drunk-opohmeljat. Certainly, poetic and romantic in these almost daily pjankah-wine parties it was small. What there champagne, what there well-known Pushkin zhzhyonka! CHernozyomnye poets and epiki used only cheap vodka and mainly without snack — not from bragging, certainly, and from economic reasons in favour of a superfluous small bottle. And Lohov it was accustomed to push, eventually, in itself opilochnuju warm vodka and to stop up it in a gullet with a sandwich with a salty sprat or it is simple zaplesnevelym a cracker. New companions promised to accept soon already it in the Union of writers... In the House of the press and Ivan has met some journalists, has learnt to come as though in a familiar way into editorial offices, the truth, not getting tired on an immemorial habit priklanivatsja to mutter to business and without business "thanks" and "excuse-excuse". Soon to it, during the next wine party, also have offered a place of the responsible secretary in rajonke «the Voice of Chernozem region». The newspaper though served the enormous rural area located a ring round the regional centre, but circulation had scanty, hardly there is more than thousand copies. Journalists during editorial letuchki-planyorki, cutting to pieces on a hot of "the Voice of Chernozem region» trupik a lean herring, sincerely were perplexed: well that still it is necessary to these rural workers? The report about a sowing campaign course is, a picture of the advanced milkmaid on a place, obeshchatelnaja speech-article of the head of regional administration in all turn... Lohov, becoming otvetsekom, should add on pages of the in agony newspaper of poetry in direct and portable senses. First he has tried to divide-demarcate three processes: friendship with writers, pitie vodka and newspaper making, guessing, is what is it trite on advantage to "the Voice of Chernozem region» and its readers-subscribers. But, alas, neither experience, nor character Ivan did not suffice. These unfortunate readers-subscribers have got out of the frying pan into the fire: rajonka from though and not readable, but nevertheless the rural edition has started pererozhdatsja-turn to body of a staff of the regional literary organisation. Lohov at times, suffering a heavy hang-over, opened in the morning a hot of the of "the Voice of Chernozem region» and it started to stir up more painfully, it simply turned out on a newspaper turn where now instead of the state report of the official which said lies and learnt-taught readers without special verbal shifts and claims, tedious "essay" of the local live classic Bajstrykina who has become famous in the literature for that was piled up, for example, being student-komsorgom Litinstituta, went under «the Komsomol permit» to Peredelkino to beat windows of a summer residence of disgraced Pasternak. Now it eloquently taught grain-growers and milkmaids as it is necessary to understand correctly Dostoevsky's expression «Beauty the world» and an epigraph to Lev Tolstoi novel «To me will rescue vengeance, and Az I will render»... And when Lohov turned newspaper page, it in despair squeezed unfortunate bald hungover golovushku: on the fourth strip of "the Voice of Chernozem region» it is rich poetic "voices" of its constant partners-instructors on litrobolu were restricted. Worse that, Ivan among this anthology of poetic hand-made articles with disgust zril and the opuses which, maybe, also were allocated with level but to print itself in the newspaper is fine reminded entertainment bible Onana... In a word, badly somehow, not absolutely ethically. It Lohov on the sober understood-felt quite and swore not to give in any more on provocation of shtabistov-classics. But where here you will resist after the second glass under a cracker when you start to clap on a shoulder and to invigorate with shouts: «the Old man, you too the genius!.» At times so it would be desirable absolutely and to believe in the talent and inevitability of glory up to the end. Especially — on excite. * * * Crisis became ripe. And — has come true. Once, as usually, sat in a literary den on 6th floor, drank. At Lohova the head broke up, has strong taken a stomach, the hemorrhoids were played. Ivan fidgeted on a chair, was bent, could not catch a high in any way from drunk, and did not drink almost. Spoke, as usual, about vodka, women, grandmas, but the turn and literatures has come. Have discussed and have come to conclusion, that any Solzhenitsyn not the writer, and Nekrasov and at all the poet … Then most shumlivyj and shebutnoj as the boy, despite the sixty spent on drink years, Arcady Teljatnikov has cried the svezhepridumannye verses: — There will be an ear here not a belt Or the grass will rise... The person goes across the field From a machine court yard... And suddenly Lohov has not sustained, that never with it happened, has torn off without any apologies, compressing fists the whisky, has begged: — Arcady! The Arch-and-adi-and Th! You to me the friend, but true are more expensive: it is impossible so, it is impossible! «The belt — to a field»... «A grass — a court yard»... These are even not insufficient rhymes and even not banal or approximate, it at all rhymes... — Yes will suffice you! — Arcady has waved away, poddyorgivaja is self-satisfied jeans. — Sufficient-preresidual, banal-voice-frequency... Rhymes they also are rhymes! Ivan has definitively lost a support, him as if have personally offended-have offended. He has jumped, has knocked a fist on a table-top so, that its pile has overturned, and has almost cried: — Only the illiterate person can so to speak! Yes you, Arcady, whether know in general, what such a rhyme? And so remember: the rhyme happens man's and female, assonansnaja and dissonansnaja, original and banal, sufficient and insufficient, opened and internal, rich and approximate... Lohov has almost choked, forcing a voice. Drinking companions was struck dumb on it looked. Ivan has got out because of a table, has gone to a door and, swinging ukazujushchim a finger of the right hand, continued on the move: — And still the rhyme happens both verbal, and deep, and grammatical, and kalamburnaja... A little? Happens root, happens inexact, happens homonymic... Happens neravnoslozhnaja! Happens diverse! Happens raznoudarnaja!. Already from a door, undertaken the handle, Ivan has given out still turn: — I do not say, that the rhyme happens compound, happens tautological, happens thematic, happens exact, happens truncated!. And even, Arcady Vasilevich, remember it especially: there is a rhyme-echo!. Lohov left and has slapped a door so, that on all floors of the House of the press this has stayed out late-was carried by here just the rhyme... Rhyme-echo. * * * It — perishes! Lohov has understood it distinctly, has realised all restless being: it becomes an inveterate drunkard, it falls, it degrades — on-gi-ba-et! Really anything to it in a life any more does not remain as soon as to be drunk-become an inveterate drunkard, scribble from time till time sketchy rhymes, tiskatsja-be published in rajonke, to live in another's house, to knock down on opohmelku pennies, to suffer from loneliness... And here has as ill-luck would have it called Roofing felt Skopjuk: everything, nazhilis-nagostilis in damned Germany, navkalyvalis — we come back nah a house … Ivan three days and three nights laid in the room-hole, having affected the patient, did not leave anywhere and — thought, thought, painfully reflected. Also it has to begin with decided carelessly and to be finished-be untied doubts the press House, to leave the newspaper. And — it is necessary! — has worked, probably, the so-called Napoleonic law which in this case could be formulated so: it is necessary to dare and begin to change the destiny and then a foresight, the Destiny will start to help you. First, together with calculation Lohov at once has received and the detained salary for three months: on hands quite decent heap of money has come to be. And secondly, he on pleasures has dared to glance-come in «the Gold small fish», for the first time in a life has tried martini with ice... But has put, of course, not in bourgeois Vermouth. Business was in the owner of "the Gold small fish», in this old Jew who surprisingly resembled the well-known singer-estradnika not only a name-patronymic and a bulletproof black wig, but also chronic is whining-mournful expression-mask on the woman's person. This meeting unexpected with Joseph Davidovichem Grossman, as short circuit as if would cut the sheaf of the sparks which have highlighted Lohovu the is ingenious-poetic plan on an exit from personal vital deadlock-crisis. And after all as specially calculation with debts have given out it brand new, svezheotshtampovannymi sotennymi. Ivan, fortunately, at all has not bent them half-and-half so tselyohonkimi and has put in the diplomat. To it to a place and to a case the joke from the French life about false stofrankovyh tickets was recollected. Houses Lohov has once again reconsidered-has counted: such "false" storublyovok it has appeared at it thirteen pieces. He to be confused did not become: has put, that speak, it has started, maybe, and fair, but partly and roguish. So if the Lord the God will turn away from Ivan it is necessary to hope for evil spirit, and that ochenno even likes-respects figure 13. The plan could to start be carried out at once, but Lohov has decided not to fuss. It was necessary also a beard for conspiracy to become covered, and to tenants to allow time-possibility to move down, but the main thing: it was necessary to wait approach of the happy year and in general — to fill operation by poetry, to create the present vital poem with rhymes-musters of dates and events. It not any inveterate swindler. He is a poet! * * * Lohov believed in success of the poem. And as its heart when on 30th of December it went to «the Gold small fish» with two last sotennymi in a pocket … was compressed However all, eventually, has turned out, as he has calculated-has planned. The destiny, at last, has turned to it the perfect kind face. The new life began... * * * When Ivan has called at a door there is no time darling apartment — there were two nights. Anja, having opened it, shchurilas from a dream, ploughed a dressing gown on a breast, neponimajushche listened to its apologies and could not think in any way — that he wants? And Lohov wished to give only first money, shortly to explain an essence of the matter and there and then to leave-disappear, but from already forgotten partially smell of the apartment, from a kind of the dozing former wife it has relaxed, has drooped, obezvolel. — Excuse! Kofeem you will give to drink? — He has asked, trying to add in a jocosity voice. — Certainly! — was delighted and Anna has completely woken up. — Undress, pass... Lohov has undressed, has attached sharfik on a habitual hook, has got old tapki from a shoe box, has stuck in a corner a bag, has passed on kitchen, has looked round. — Excuse! All you trade? — I trade. — Excuse!. One you live? — One. To me, Vanja, already fifth ten... Has forgotten? — Excuse, excuse! Well also what? To you only hardly for forty! — to calm Ivan undertook vigorously. — and in forty five, excuse, the woman a berry again... And what, Tatyana Ilinichna of grooms to you does not search? — They already closely prepare for wedding Ivashki — not to me, — Anna has grinned and suddenly has seriously added. — and I do not want any grooms!. I, can, you till now I like... — Yes?! — was surprised Lohov. — And you know, what verses at me were wrote recently? Excuse!. Simple pleasures To me offered a life, healing. But I have recollected you. And Has stopped, a pain having scented. It is time to reconcile to me for a long time With that you have stopped loving me. Also there is only one — To forget, forget about everything, that was... Anna has approached to it, has clasped its bald head, with grief has told: — What for a beard has grown... peregarom smells... The Poet you talented, and in a life absolutely the booby... I more anywhere will not release you! — No, Anja, excuse, — has stirred up head Lohov, it was liberated from its embraces. — I now urgently should leave. I more plainly have not solved — where, but, most likely, while in the village. Here I to you leave, excuse... It has taken out a pack of a green foreign currency from a pocket. — Here five thousand dollars. Excuse! You be not afraid — they mine and quite just are by received. Throw you this trade, repay all debts Elizarovoj... Only money, excuse, you exchange before for ours and do not speak about all: tell in «Russian lotto» has won... Live, write the pictures remarkable... Lohov has suddenly quickened: — Excuse, I here that have thought: they in rest will not leave you. Sell you to devils dog this apartment or preserve and come to me to village... At me ten more thousand in a bag... You Represent, what life at us will go?!. Certainly, Anna has agreed to take not at once money... Certainly, not at once at least she also has dared to dream of abrupt change of the life-destiny... But after all and Lohov, certainly, not at once has left, and goshchenie it in the native house at the former wife, clearly, to one coffee and conversations it was not limited... When at daybreak left — disputes any more were not: Lohov obustroitsja-will grow roots, will call Ane, will call it. And — to live! 5
Joseph Davidovich Grossman very much stored secret of the whole three days. It under a specious excuse and disappeared in the morning from the house or «the Gold small fish» in the evening, rushed on "Audi" on street of Engels, personally cleaned-washed for a cat a tray-parashu, deduced a dog on guljanie, then fed zhivotin and came back. It even these affairs-cares has profaned-poheril Saturday. At last, unbearable began to store-prepare a surprise for the Svety-small fish and JAshenki, has bothered to listen-sglatyvat from the wife «to the Jew parhatogo» — has told all to it, admitted. She first and to believe did not want, to shout has ugly begun, but Joseph Davidovich as it has calmed a smog, convinced, that there is need and possibilities to its this plain guy-muzhik, no old Jew, to deceive, round a finger to lead round... But Light-rybonka all the same in case of what has promised to break from it, Joseph Davidovicha, its foolish wig with bugs to tear apart in shreds and to bring an action against divorce with a corresponding sharing of "the Gold small fish»... Joseph Davidovicha sweat proshib. * * * For Christmas, on Thursday, 7th — weather has happened worse than ever. Swearing, Joseph Davidovich went from the car to a house entrance on Engels, represented, as will wet through now with the damned rate under a winter vile rain very much. Praise to the Lord to the Almighty, it does these nonsenses last day... Joseph Davidovich has tried to open the lock, but it turned out nothing. Suddenly the door has swung open also the stranger who has arisen on a threshold, has cheerfully begun to yell: — That for affairs! It you also are — Joseph Davidovich? Here Vanyok has written a note, that you will bring keys... That for affairs! Why he us has not waited, and?! The friend is called! Three years did not see and have not greeted at all!.
