snare

On the edge of Sitz village in Mironneau, in the pile house of village head Prokofi, hunters who missed the return are settling down.

Stay overnight. There are only two of them: Ivan Ivanic, a veterinarian, and burgin, a middle school teacher. Ivan Ivanic

A strange compound surname: Chimusha-Himalayaski, which is not commensurate with him, so the provincial capital.

People usually call him by his first name and his father's first name. He lives in a horse farm in the suburbs, and now he goes out hunting and gets some fresh air.

Fresh air. Burgin, a middle school teacher, visits Count N's house every summer, so she has long since left this area.

An outsider.

I haven't slept for a while. Ivan Ivanich, a tall and thin old man with a long beard, sat down.

Birkin was smoking a pipe in the moonlight outside the door, lying on the hay inside, unable to see him in the dark.

They chatted everywhere. By the way, the village chief's wife, Mavra, said that this woman is strong and human.

Not stupid, just never left my village, never seen the city, never seen the railway, the most

In the past ten years, I have been guarding the stove all day and only come out for a walk at night.

"What's strange about this!" Burgin said, "Some people are very withdrawn. They are like hermit crabs or snails.

Sample, always want to shrink into his shell, there are many such people in the world. Perhaps this is an atavism, that is, regression.

In Archean, human ancestors were not social animals at that time, but lived alone in their own caves.

In; Maybe it's just a variation of human nature-who knows. I'm not a natural science major, this kind.

This question has nothing to do with me I just want to say that people like mavra are not uncommon. Oh, don't go.

Looking into the distance, two months ago, a man died in our city. His surname is Belikov, a Greek teacher and my classmate.

Things. You must have heard of him. What makes him different is that he always wears it when he goes out, even if the weather is fine.

Put on your shoes, take an umbrella, and be sure to wear warm cotton-padded clothes. His umbrella is in a condom, and his pocket watch is gray.

Sometimes he takes out a small folded knife to sharpen a pencil, and the knife is also placed in a small cover. this is his

His face seems to be thousands of miles away, too, because he always hides his face in an erect collar. He wears sunglasses, a sweater and ears.

Dolly is stuffed with cotton. Whenever he gets into a taxi, he must tell the driver to pull up the hood. All in all, this man

There is always an irresistible desire.

In old Russia, most people who used compound surnames were celebrities and aristocratic families, while Ivan Ivanich was just an ordinary veterinarian.

Hope-wrap yourself in a shell and make yourself a so-called condom to isolate him from the outside world.

The influence of. Real life makes him depressed and afraid, and makes him nervous all day. Maybe it's because of your timidity,

Defend your dislike of reality. He always praises the past and things that don't exist. Even what he taught.

His old saying is actually equivalent to his overshoes and umbrellas, which can be hidden inside to escape from reality.

"'Oh, how loud and beautiful ancient Greek is!' He spoke with a sweet and cheerful expression.

Love. As if to prove his words, he narrowed his eyes, put up a finger and read: "Antrope.

Yes '①

"Belikov also tried to hide his ideas in a condom. For him, only those who issue various bans.

The official announcement of the order and newspaper articles are unmistakable. Since it is stipulated that middle school students are not allowed to go out after 9 pm, or

There is an article in the newspaper that is forbidden, so he feels very clear and clear. Since it is forbidden, then

That's enough. As for the contents approved and allowed in the proclamation, he always felt that there was something fishy and pointed out something.

Unfinished words, disturbing factors. Whenever the city approves the establishment of a drama troupe, or a reading room, or a teahouse.

, he always shook his head and whispered:

"'Well, of course, that's right. Everything is fine. "I hope there won't be any trouble."

"Any violation, deviation and betrayal of the so-called rules and regulations, although it has nothing to do with him, always worries him.

Worried. For example, a colleague is late for prayer, or I hear that middle school students are naughty, or someone is watching.

When the policewoman is still with the officer very late, he will be very excited and keep saying that he hopes nothing will happen.

End. At the academic conference, his worried and suspicious style and a set of purely condom-like arguments,

It overwhelmed us. What did he say? Young people in so-and-so boys' and girls' middle schools misbehave and teach and educate people.

There's too much noise in the room-oh, don't spread it to the authorities. Oh, don't make any trouble! and

If Petrov, a sophomore, and yegorov, a senior, are expelled from school, things will get better.

What happened afterwards? He kept sighing and complaining, and his pale little face was wearing a pair of sunglasses-you

Yes, that pointy little face is the same as that of a weasel-he forced us so hard that we had to give in and let Peter go.

Rove and yegorov lowered their conduct scores, locked them up and finally fired them. He has one.

An eccentric habit-visiting colleagues' homes. He went to a teacher's house and sat down without saying a word, just like in prison.

See what? Sit quietly for an hour and then leave. He called it "keeping good relations with colleagues"

Obviously, it is not easy for him to sit at his colleague's house, but he still goes door to door because he thinks it is

Is to do my duty as a colleague. Our teachers are all afraid of him. Even the headmaster is afraid of his three points. Think about it,

(1) Greek: people.

Our teachers are extremely intelligent and decent people, who have received good education from Turgenev and Shedelin, but

It is our school that has been dominated by this little man with shoes and an umbrella for fifteen years!

More than one middle school? The whole city is under his control! Our ladies and gentlemen are afraid to arrange their homes until Saturday.

Court performance, dare not let him know; The clergy are embarrassed to eat meat and play cards in front of him. In Belikov or something.

Under the influence of people, people in our city have become cautious and afraid of everything in the last ten to fifteen years. Afraid of getting bigger

Speak loudly, afraid of writing letters, making friends, reading, helping the poor, and teaching people to read ... "

Ivan Ivanich wanted to say something and coughed, but first he smoked his pipe and looked at the moon.

Then slowly say:

"Yes, we are all decent people with brains. We read Turgenev and Shedelin, and Pakistan.

Clay (1) and other people's works, but we often succumb to some kind of pressure and endure again and again ... that's the problem.

Son. "

"Belikov and I live in the same house," Birkin went on to say, "the same floor, door to door, I.

Children often meet each other, so they know his family life. At home, too: pajamas, nightcaps, window coverings,

Bolts, countless rules and regulations, and a verbal duster:' Oh, don't make trouble!' quick

Vegetarianism is bad for your health, but you can't eat meat, for fear that others will say that Belikov doesn't fast. So he ate butter.

Fried bass-this is certainly not vegetarian, but it is not a food prohibited during lent. He doesn't need a maid, and he's afraid others will take the fall.

Speak ill of him in the future. He hired a chef, Afanasi, an old man in his 60 s, who was drunk all day.

Dementia. He used to be a handyman, but at least he can order food. This Afanasi often stands in front of his house with his hands crossed.

Arm in arm, always take a long breath, mumbling a word:

"'There are many such people now!'

"Belikov's bedroom is as small as a box, with curtains hanging on the bed. He always covers himself with a quilt when he sleeps.

Hold your head up. The room was hot and stuffy, the wind was banging on the closed door, and the stove looked like someone was crying, and it came from the kitchen.

Sigh, ominous sigh ...

"He is lying in the quilt, so horrible. He was afraid of what would happen and that Afanasi would kill him.

Afraid of thieves sneaking into the house, I had nightmares all night. By the time we went to school together in the morning, he had lost his vitality.

Play, pale. It can be seen that the school with many students that he wants to enter makes him really panic.

And he, a lonely person, feels uncomfortable walking with me.

"'Our class is always noisy,' he said, as if to explain why he is so heavy.

What a pity! '

(1) Barclays (1821-1862), British historian.

"But this Greek teacher, this trap, can you imagine that he almost got married!"

Ivan Ivanich quickly looked back at the pile of houses and said:

"You're kidding!"

"There is no regret, he almost got married, although it is how strange. A new history was transferred to our school.

The local teacher is Mikhail Savage Varenko, who knows a little Russian. He didn't come alone,

With her sister Valenka. He is young, tall, dark and has big hands. You can tell from his appearance that he is talking.

His voice is deep, indeed, his voice is like a bucket: bu, bu, bu ... his sister's age.

Already not light, about 30 years old, tall, well-proportioned, black eyebrows, red face-there is a sentence

In other words, it's not a girl, it's jelly. She is so active and noisy that she keeps humming lyric songs of little Russia.

Qu laughed and gave a series of laughter easily: ha ha ha! We met for the first time.

Brother and sister kovalenko, I remember it was at the principal's naming day party. In a group of serious, unpleasant, put

Among the teachers who regularly attended the principal's naming day banquet, we suddenly saw a new Aphrodite.

Dieter was born in the foam of the sea: her hands rested on her hips, laughing, singing and dancing, walking around. ...

Emotionally sing a song "The Wind is Gone with the Wind", then sing a lyric song, and then sing another song. We are all/We all

Everyone was fascinated by her, including Belicoff. He sat down beside her, smiling sweetly.

Say:

"'Little Russia' is feminine and reminiscent of ancient Greece."

This flattery made her proud, so she told him emotionally in a convincing tone that they were

There is a grange in Jiajiaqi County, where my mother still lives. There are such good pears and such good melons.

Such a good' kabak' (3)! Little Russians call Nanzhao' Kabak' and the pub' Schenk'. he

The tomato and purple sweet potato soup made by the children is delicious, delicious, delicious-killing me! '

"We listened, listened, and suddenly everyone had an idea:

"Just fix them together," the headmaster's wife whispered to me.

"We all remember that our Belikov is not married. We all felt it at this moment.

It is strange that we have never paid attention to his lifelong events and completely ignored them. What's his general attitude towards women?

Attitude? How will he solve this major problem? I used to

(1) the old name of Ukrainians.

Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty in Greek mythology, is Venus in Roman mythology. Legend has it that she is

Born in the foam of the sea.

③ Russian means "pub" and Ukrainian means "pumpkin".

The child is not interested in this at all. Maybe we can't even imagine this. This is wearing overshoes and hanging accounts at any time.

Who else can children fall in love with?

"'He is in his forties and she is in her thirties ...'" The headmaster's wife spoke her mind, "I thought.

She is willing to marry him. '

"In our province, people are bored and can't do anything? Did countless unnecessary stupid things! this

Because no one did what was necessary. Oh, let's take this case as an example, since it's hard for us to imagine Bellicaud.

My husband is getting married. Why do we suddenly have a fever and want to match him? Mrs. Principal, Mrs. Inspector,

And all the teachers' wives are in high spirits, and even their looks have become beautiful, as if they had found a life at once.

Target. The headmaster's wife booked a theater box, and we looked at it-Valenka was sitting in her box, holding it in her hand.

Such a small fan is full of smiles. Sitting next to Belikov, thin and rickety, like.

It was brought here with pliers. Sometimes I invite friends to parties at home, and my wives insist that I have to invite others.

Likov and Valenka. Anyway, the machine started. It turns out that Valenka himself is not opposed to marriage. she

Living with my brother is not pleasant. All we know is that they quarrel and scold each other all day. I'm coming.

Tell you an episode: Ke Varenko is walking in the street, a tall and sturdy man in an embroidered shirt.

Let the hair hang down from the hat to the forehead. He had Po Shu in one hand and a rough cane in the other. she

My sister followed, also holding a book.

"'You, Mikhail Jirik, I haven't read this book!' She shouted, "I'm telling you,

I swear you haven't read this book at all! '

"'But I want to tell you that I have read it!' G Varenko also make a hullabaloo about, and beat the sidewalk with a cane.

Knock on the door.

"'oh, my god, Ming chuck (2)! Why did you lose your temper? You know, our conversation is principled.

Make love. "

"But I want to tell you: I have read this book!" He shouted even louder.

"At home, even if there are outsiders present, they will still quarrel. This kind of life bored her.

Now, she wants to have a nest of her own. Besides, she has to consider her age. Now is not the time to pick and choose.

Wait, you can marry anyone, even a Greek teacher. But, yes, most of our ladies here just need to be able to

Just get married. It doesn't matter who you marry. Anyway, Valenka began to reveal to our Belikov.

Show obvious goodwill.

"So, Belikov, he also went to Ke Varenko's house, just like going to our house. He went back to his house and sat down.

Come down and say nothing. He sat silently, and Valenka sang "The Wind is Flying" for him, or used his black eyes.

Eyes looked at him thoughtfully, or suddenly a string of lang lang laughter:

① ② Mikhail's nickname.

"'Ha ha ha!'

"On the issue of love, especially on the issue of marriage, matchmaking plays a great role. So all my colleagues

And his wives went to persuade Belikov that he should get married, saying that there was nothing missing in his life except differences.

Married. We all congratulated him and solemnly repeated those cliches, such as getting married.

Lifelong events, etc. And said that Valenka was beautiful and attractive. She is the daughter of a five-product commoner and owns a grange.

Most importantly, she is the first woman who is so gentle and sincere to him. The result made him dizzy, and he

Decide that you really should get married. "

"It's time someone took his overshoes and umbrella," said Ivan Ivanic.

"You know, this is impossible. Although he put Valenka's photo on his desk, he kept coming.

Tell me about Valenka. Family life and marriage are important events in life, although he often goes to Ke Varenko.

Home, but his lifestyle hasn't changed at all. Even on the contrary, the decision to get married made him look like a big shot.

Illness: He lost weight and looked pale, as if he was hidden deeper in a condom.

"'Varvara ① savishna' I like it,' he said with a forced smile.' Me too.

Yes, everyone should get married, but ... you know, it all came a little suddenly ... and needed to be tested.

Think about it. '

"'What's there to think about?' I said to him,' Just get married. "

"'No, getting married is a big deal. First of all, we should weigh the obligations and responsibilities we will undertake ...

What kind of trouble you will get into in the future. This matter has been bothering me, and now I can't sleep every night. Tell the truth.

Well, I'm afraid: their way of thinking is a bit strange, and their writing, you know, is there.

It's a little strange. Her personality is too lively. If I really want to get married, I'm afraid I'll get into some trouble in the future. '

"In this way, he never proposed, always dragging his feet, making the headmaster's wife and the ladies there big.

Annoyed. He repeatedly weighed the obligations and responsibilities he faced, and worked with Valenka almost every day.

Take a walk, maybe he thinks it is necessary in his position. He often comes to my house to talk about family life, if not.

Later, an absurd thing happened. There is a good chance that he will eventually propose. In this case, it is unnecessary,

This stupid marriage is over. Because of boredom and idleness, such a marriage can be said.

Thousands. What needs to be explained here is that Ko Varenko, Valenka's younger brother, from the first day he met Belikov,

I hate him and can't stand him.

(1) the official name of tile lotus card.

(2) the original is German.

"'I don't understand,' he shrugged and said to us,' I don't understand how you can tolerate this informant.

Guy, this despicable guy. Oh, gentlemen, how can you live here! You're here in the air.

Dirty can suffocate people alive. Are you educators and teachers? No, you are a group of officials, you

It's not the Science Palace, it's the city police station. It smells sour, just like the police booth. No, Zhu

Colleagues, I'll stay with you for a while and return to my grange soon. I'd rather catch shrimp there,

Teach children in little Russia to read and write. I have to go. You and your Jews stay here and make a phone call.

Fuck him! '

"He sometimes laughs until he tears, sometimes his laughter is deep and sometimes he is tapering. His hands are one.

Stand up and ask me:

"'What is he doing sitting in my house? What does he want? "Sit there and look around!"

"He even gave Belikov a nickname' poisonous spider'. Naturally, in front of him, we never

Mentioned that his sister was going to marry a poisonous spider. One day, the headmaster's wife hinted that if he took his sister

It's nice to marry a stable and respected person like Belikov. He frowned and complained

Way:

"'It's none of my business. She will go even if she marries a poisonous snake. I don't care about other people's business. "

"Now you listen to me. A prankster drew a cartoon: Belicoff was wearing overshoes,

He rolled up his trouser legs and left under an umbrella. Valenka next to him grabbed his arm. The following inscription is:' Fall into a person.

Ante Ropes in love. You know, it's so lifelike. This must have been painted by this painter.

Just one night, because all male and female school teachers, normal school teachers and all civil servants are one establishment.

Zhang. Belikov also received a copy. Comics made him feel extremely heavy.

"We walked out of the house together-this day happened to be May 1 Sunday, and all our teachers and students had an appointment.

Meet at the school gate, and then go for an outing in the Woods outside the city. We walked out of the house together, his face was iron.

Green, more gloomy than dark clouds.

"'There are such bad people and vicious people in the world!' His lips trembled when he said this.

"I even pity him. We were walking, and suddenly, can you imagine Ke Varenko riding a bike?

I caught up, followed by Valenka, also riding a bike. She is red and tired, but she is happy.

Strong and happy.

"'Let's go first!' She shouted, "What a beautiful day! What a beautiful day! Absolutely wonderful! '

① Ukrainian.

"They walked away and disappeared. My Belikov face turned from green to white, as if stunned. He stopped,

look at me ...

"'Excuse me, what's going on?' He asked, "or am I wrong? Middle school teachers and women

Everyone can ride a bike. What a scandal! '

"'What's wrong with that?' I said,' Let them ride if they want.'

"'How can I do that?' He cried, surprised at my calmness. What are you talking about? ! '

"He like a fatal blow, don't want to go any further, turned around and went home alone.

"The next day, he always rubbed his hands nervously and kept shaking. He looks as if he is ill. Not finished

The whole class has left, which is the first time in his life. I didn't have lunch. In the evening, he put on warm clothes and was exhausted.

Although it was already summer, he limped to Ke Varenko's home. Valenka is not at home. He has only met her.

Her younger brother.

"'Please sit down,' Ke Varenko said coldly with a frown. He just woke up from a nap, sleepy and sad.

Love is extremely bad.

"Belikov sat silently for ten minutes before saying:

"'I came home to amuse myself. Now my heart is very, very heavy. Some people are evil.

Slander and paint me and another lady who is very close to you and me into a ridiculous cartoon. I think it's my duty to tell you

Promise me, this has nothing to do with me ... I didn't give anyone any ammunition, which can lead to this ridicule. It's all the same.

On the contrary, my words and deeds show that I am an extremely decent person. '

"Ke Varenko sat there sulking and said nothing. Belikov waited for a while, then became worried.

Whispered:

"I have a message for you. I have been teaching for many years, and you have just started to work. So, as a person,

As an elderly colleague, I feel it is my duty to give you advice. You ride a bike, but this pleasure is not good for you.

For the teacher in 2008, it is harmful! '

"'Then why?' Ke Varenko asked gruffly.

"'Does this need to be explained, Mikhail Savage? Don't you understand? If the teacher

What should students do when riding a bike? I'm afraid they're going to walk with their heads! Because it's not official

If you approve it, it will not work. I was shocked yesterday! My eyes turned black as soon as I saw your sister. one

A woman or a girl riding a bike-it's terrible! '

"'What's the matter with you?'

"'I only have one thing-advice for you, Mikhail Savage. You are young and have a bright future.

Big, so you should be very, very careful, but you are too casual, alas, too casual!

You often wear embroidered shirts when you go out, always bring some books when you go out, and now you ride a bike. You ride a bike with your sister.

The bicycle thing will be passed on to the headmaster and then to the inspector ... what will be the good result? '

"'My sister and I ride bicycles, which has nothing to do with anyone! "Ke Varenko said blushing.

Anyone who interferes in my personal and family affairs, I'll tell him to fuck off! '

"Belikov blanched and stood up.

"'Since you talk to me in this tone, I have nothing to say,' he said. I ask your attention.

Don't say that about your boss in front of me in the future. You should respect the authorities. '

"'Why, did I speak ill of the authorities just now?' Ke Varenko asked, watching with resentment.

He said,' Sorry, please don't bother me. I am an honest man, and a gentleman like you doesn't want to pay at all.

speak I don't like informers. '

"Belikov nervously hurry-scurry, quickly put on clothes, a face of panic. He is flat.

This is the first time I have heard such rude words.

"You can say whatever you want," he said as he walked from the front room to the stairs, "but I have to warn you: I

Some people may have heard the conversation just now. In order to avoid others distorting the conversation and causing any trouble, I

The main points of this conversation must be reported to the headmaster. It is my duty to do so. '

"'Snitch'? "Let's go, informer,"

"Ke Varenko grabbed him by the collar from behind, only pushed it, and Belikov rolled downstairs and felt his overshoes.

Pattering along the stairs. The stairs were high and steep, but he rolled down safely. He stood up and touched his nose.

See if your glasses are broken. Just as he rolled down the stairs, Valenka and his two wives just walked in.

Come; They stood there watching-this is more terrible than anything for Belikov. It seems that he would rather break his neck.

Son, he broke his leg and didn't want to be the laughing stock of others: now the whole city knows about it, and it will be passed on to the headmaster.

And the inspector-oh, don't make trouble! -someone will draw a new cartoon, and this will happen.

Later, the school will order him to resign. ...

"After he got up, tile lotus card recognized him. She looked at his funny face, wrinkled coat and jacket.

Shoes. I don't know what happened. I thought he accidentally fell down. She couldn't help laughing.

Come, laughter resounded through the building:

"'Ha ha ha!'

"This series of crisp and loud' hahaha' ruined everything: ruined Belikov's marriage and his

Earthly life. He couldn't hear what Valenka said and couldn't see everything in front of him. When he got home, first of all,

Take the picture of Valenka on the table and lie in bed and never get up.

"Three days later, Afanasi came to me and asked him if he wanted to call a doctor, because his grandfather had an accident.

I visited Belikov. He lay in the curtain, covered with a quilt, and was silent. Ask him anything except.

There is nothing but' yes' and' no'. He was lying in bed, and Afanasi was wandering around. His face

Gloomy, frowning and sighing. He smells like wine, just like in the bar.

"Belikov died a month later. All of us, that is, male middle school, female middle school and teachers' college.

People went to his funeral. At that time, he was lying in the coffin, with a gentle, happy expression, and even a little beaming and imitating.

The Buddha was glad that he was finally put into a condom and never had to come out again. Yes, he realized his dream! ring

God also salutes him. On the day of burial, it was raining in Mao Mao on a cloudy day, and we all wore them.

Overshoes and umbrellas. Valenka also came to his funeral. When the coffin came down from the grave, she cried loudly.

Array. I found that little Russian women either cried or laughed, and there was no emotion in the middle.

"To tell the truth, it is a happy thing to bury people like Belicov. The way back from the cemetery

In fact, we are all dignified and serious, with a sad face, and no one wants to show such a happy mood.

This is like a feeling we experienced in childhood a long time ago: waiting for adults to leave home.

Door, we will run around the garden, play for an hour or two and enjoy some full freedom. Ah,

Freedom, freedom! Even the slightest sign, even a glimmer of hope, will give our hearts a shot in the arm.

Spread your wings. Right?

"We came back from the cemetery and felt very happy. However, in less than a week, life returned to its original state.

This way, it is still so harsh, boring and irrational. This is not explicitly prohibited, but there is no

Have a completely enlightened life. Things are not getting better. Yes, we buried Belikov, but how much does it cost?

The kind of trap that people stay in the world, there will be many trap people in the future! "

"That's the problem," Ivan Ivanich said, lighting his pipe.

"How many people will be trapped in the future!" Burgin repeated.

The middle school teacher walked out of the shed. This man is neither tall nor fat, bald, and has a beard almost waist high. two

A dog followed.

"Good moonlight, good moonlight!" He looked up at the sky and said.

It's midnight. Looking to the right, you can see the whole village. A long street extends to the distance, and there are four or five Russians.

Everything entered a quiet and deep dream. Don't make any noise, don't make any noise, even exert yourself.

I believe that nature can be so silent. Looking at the wide streets and alleys at the night when the moonlight is melting.

Farmhouses, haystacks and sleeping willows on both sides will feel extraordinarily calm inside. Get rid of all the hard work, troubles and

Unfortunately, under the protection of knee-deep night, the village is resting safely and looks so gentle, sad and beautiful.

It seems that all the stars in the sky look at it affectionately, as if evil no longer exists in this land.

Everything is wonderful. Looking to the left, there is a field at the end of the village. The fields stretch as far as the eye can see.

Square horizon. Bathed in the moonlight, this vast land is also silent.

"That's the problem," repeated Ivan Ivanic. "We live in polluted and crowded air.

In the city, write some useless official documents and play' Venter' card games-isn't this a condom? As for our swimming,

Idle idlers, selfish litigators and stupid and boring women killed our lives, saying.

And listen to all kinds of nonsense-isn't this a condom? Oh, if you like, I'll give it to you now.

Tell an educational story. "

"No, it's time for bed," Birkin said. "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

The two men went back to the hut and lay on the hay. They tucked themselves in and were about to fall asleep when they heard the light.

Light footsteps: click, click ... someone is walking around the pile house: walking for a while, standing still, not long.

Go up again ... the dog barks.

"This is Mavra walking," burgin said.

I can't hear footsteps.

"Watching others cheat and listening to others lie," Ivan Ivanich turned over and said, "if you tolerate it.

This hypocrisy, others will call you a fool. You should submit to humiliation and be insulted, and dare not publicly declare that you are standing.

On the side of honest and free people, you have to lie and smile. All this is just to make a living and have a warmth.

Nest, find a worthless job! No, you can't live like this anymore! "

"Oh, that's another topic, Ivan Ivanich," said the teacher. "Let's go to bed."

Ten minutes later, Birkin had fallen asleep. Ivan Ivanich kept turning over and sighing. then

He just stood up, went outside, sat down at the door and lit his pipe.
