Why I remained one? For what? Why me... I should be one? After all I not the oldest, the namesake. Michael is more senior,
and your father too...
Uncle Misha too goes to last flight, - has shy reminded Grisha.
Yes, - Dauge has agreed. - our Misha has grown old... Well, we will go we will drink.
They have entered into a bar. In a bar it was empty, only any beautiful woman sat at a little table at a window. It sat over an
empty glass, having put a chin on the weaved fingers, and looked out of the window on a concrete field of airdrome.
Dauge has stopped and has hard leant against the nearest little table. He did not see its years twenty, but at once has learnt.
In a throat at it it became dry and bitter.
What with you, uncle Grisha? - Has with anxiety asked Bulls-junior.
Dauge it was straightened.
She is my wife, - he has told easy. - we will go.
"What else wife?" - Grisha with a fright has thought.
Perhaps, to me to go to wait in the car? - He has asked.
Nonsense, nonsense, - Dauge has told. - we Will go.
They have approached to a little table.
Hi, Masha, - has said Dauge.
The woman has lifted a head. Its eyes have extended. It has slowly leant back on a chair back.
You... Has not departed? - She has told.
You will depart later? - Is not present. I remain.
She continued to look at it widely opened eyes. Eyelashes at it have been made strongly up. Under eyes a network of
wrinkles. And it is a lot of wrinkles on a neck.
What means - remain? - She has mistrustfully asked.
It undertook a chair back.
It is possible for us to sit with you? - He has asked. Is Grisha of Bulls. Son Bykova.
Then she has smiled to Grishe that is habitual-promising dazzling smile which so was hated by Dauge.
It is very glad, - she has told. - Sit down, boys.
Grisha and Dauge have sat down.
My name is Maria Sergeevna, - has told it, examining Grishu. - I Vladimir Sergeevicha Jurkovskogo's sister.
Grisha has looked down and has slightly bowed.
I know your father, - it continued. She has ceased to smile. - I to it am obliged by much, Grigory... Alekseevich.
