Weighty waters biography

He returned home at the second hour of the night, tired and complete aversion to life. He was going on for a year, and he perceived his life as a calm, smooth sea, in the depths of which the monsters lurked: "All worldly ailments, illnesses, sorrows, madness, poverty, blindness." Every minute he expected that one of them would turn his fragmented boat. The life of this rich, but very lonely man was empty, worthless and disgusting.

To distract from these thoughts, he began to sort out old papers, yellowed love letters and found among them a small octagonal box in which a small grenade cross was stored. He reminded Dmitry Pavlovich Sanin of the past. Advertising in the summer of the year, when the sleigh was 22, he traveled around Europe, squeezing a small inheritance from a distant relative. Returning home, he stopped in Frankfurt.

The stagecoach went to Berlin late, and Sanin decided to take a walk around the city. Finding himself on a small street, Dmitry went to the Italian confectionery Giovanni Roselli to drink a glass of lemonade. Before he had time to enter the hall, a girl ran out of the next room and began to beg for helping for help. It turned out that the younger brother of the girl, a boy of about fourteen named Emil, lost consciousness.

There was only an old servant of Pantaleone at home, and the girl was in a panic. Sanin winted the boy with brushes, and he, to the joy of his sister, came to his senses. Saving Emil, Dmitry looked at the girl, surprised at her amazing classical beauty. At this time, a lady entered the room, accompanied by a doctor, behind whom they sent a maid. The lady was the mother of Emilio and the girl.

She was so delighted with the salvation of her son that she invited Sanin to dinner. In the evening, Dmitry was met as a hero and the Savior. He learned that the mother of the family is the name of Leonor Roselli. Twenty years ago, she and her husband, Giovanni Battistoy Roselli left Italy to open a confectionery in Frankfurt. The beauty was called Jamma.

And their faithful servant to Pantaleone, a funny little old man, was an opera tenor in the past. Another full -fledged member of the family was the tartalya poodle. To his disappointment, Sanin found out that Jamma was engaged to Mr. Karl Kluber, the head of the department of one of the large stores. Advertising Sanin sat by them until late and was late for a stagecoach. He had little money left, and he asked for a loan from his Berlin friend.

Waiting for a response letter, Dmitry was forced to stay in the city for several days. In the morning, Emil visited Sanina, accompanied by Karl Kluber. Emil asked for permission to stay and soon made friends with Sanin. Dmitry spent all day with Roselli, admiring the beauty of Jamma, and even managed to work as a seller in a confectionery shop. A few words about the sleigh should be said.

He was a stately and slender young man with slightly vague faces, blue eyes and golden hair, the offspring of a sedate noble family. Dmitry combined freshness, health and infinitely soft. Advertising in the morning took a walk in Soden - a small picturesque town half an hour from Frankfurt, organized by Herr Clyuber with truly German pedantry. We had lunch in the best tavern of Soden.

Jamma bored a walk. To unwind, she wanted to have lunch not in a secluded gazebo that her pedantic groom had already ordered, but on a common terrace. At the next table, the company of officers of the Mainz garrison dined. One of them, being in severe drinking, went to Jamma, “slapped a glass” for her health and impudently grabbed a rose lying near her plate.

This act offended the girl. Instead of intercing with the bride, Herr Kluber hastily paid and, loudly indignant, took her to the hotel. Sanin approached the officer, called him impudent, took the rose and asked for a duel. Emil delighted Dmitry’s act, and Klyuber pretended that he had not noticed anything. The next morning, Sanina visited the second of Baron von Dongof.

Dmitry had no acquaintances in Frankfurt, and he had to invite Pantaleon to seconds. He took up his duties with extraordinary zeal and destroyed all attempts to reconcile in the root. It was decided to shoot from pistols from twenty steps. Advertising spent the rest of the day Sanin with Dzhemma. Late in the evening, when Dmitry left the confectionery, Dzhemma called him to the window and gave him that very wilted rose.

She leaned awkwardly and leaned on Sanin's shoulders. At that moment, a hot whirlwind was swept along the street, “like a flock of huge birds”, and the young man realized that he was in love. The duel took place at ten in the morning. Baron von Dongof deliberately shot to the side, pleading his guilt. Duelants shook hands and parted, and the sled to the sanya was ashamed for a long time-it was very childish.

It turned out in the hotel that Pantaleone washed about Duel Jamma. In the afternoon, Sanina visited Frau Leone. Jamma wanted to break the engagement, although the Roselli family was practically ruined, and only this marriage could save her.Frau Leone asked Dmitry to influence Jamma and persuade her not to refuse the groom. Sanin agreed, and even tried to talk to the girl, but the persuasion gave the reverse result - Dmitry finally fell in love and realized that Jamma also loved him.

After a secret meeting in the city garden and mutual confessions, he had no choice but to make her an offer. The advertisement of Frau Leone met this news with tears, but asking for a newly -minted groom about his financial situation, she calmed down and reconciled. Sanin owned a small estate in the Tula province, which he should urgently sell to invest in the confectionery. Dmitry already wanted to go to Russia, when he suddenly met his former classmate on the street.

This fat subject named Ippolit Sidorych Polozov was married to a very beautiful and rich woman from the merchant class. Sanin turned to him with a request to buy an estate. Polozov replied that his wife solved all monetary issues, and offered to take Sanin to her. Saying goodbye to the bride, Dmitry went to Wiesbaden, where Mrs. Polozova was treated with waters.

Marya Nikolaevna really turned out to be a beauty with heavy blond hair and several vulgar facial features.

She immediately began to overthrow the sanin. It turned out that Polozov was a “comfortable husband”, who did not climb into the affairs of his wife and gave her complete freedom. They did not have children, and all Polozov’s interests converged on a delicious, plentiful food and luxurious life. The couple made a bet. Hippolytus Sidorych was sure that this time his wife would not achieve - Sanin was very much in love.

Unfortunately, Polozov lost, although his wife had to work hard. During numerous dinners, walks and visits to the theater, which Ms. Polozova arranged for Sanin, he met von Dongof, the previous lover of the hostess. Dmitry changed his bride three days after arriving in Wiesbaden on the horse walk, which was arranged by Marya Nikolaevna. Sanin had enough conscience to admit Jamma in treason.

After that, he completely submitted to Polozova, became her slave and followed her until she drank his leisure and threw it like an old rag. In memory of Jamma, Sanin remained only a cross. He still did not understand why he left the girl, "so gently and passionately for him, for a woman, whom he did not like at all." Advertising after the evening of memoirs Sanin gathered and in the middle of winter went to Frankfurt.

He wanted to find Jamma and ask for forgiveness, but did not even find the streets on which the confectionery stood thirty years ago. In the Frankfurt Address Book, he stumbled upon Major von Dongof. He told Sanin that Jamma married and gave her address in New York. Dmitry sent her letter and received an answer. Jamma wrote that she was very happy in marriage and grateful to Sanin for upset her first engagement.

She gave birth to five children. Pantaleone and Frau Leone died, and Emilio died, fighting for Garibaldi. The letter was a photograph of the daughter of Jamma, who was very similar to the mother. The girl was engaged. Sanin sent her as a gift “a grenade cross, covered in a magnificent pearl necklace,” and then he gathered in America himself. Julia Peskova retold.
