Book-7. Edem, novella. V. Speys

necessary to approach it. And it will do so today. Once again, read the letter, weighing every word. Anya had not noticed, for his thoughts, as he found himself at the threshold of kindergarten. Went inside. Dima met her already dressed. The teacher hurried home and children dressed in advance before the arrival of the parents. The room was hot, and the kids were waiting for their parents sweaty.

      – You know, Tamara, crazy? – The threshold pounced on a poor governess Anne.

      – Oh, it’s you instead of hello? – The teacher retorted swoop.

      – Half of the children tomorrow kept with pneumonia! I guarantee it! – Stalking her Anya.

      – Mom, I’m hot! – Added fuel to the fire Dima.

      – And to me!

      – And to me! – Children’s voices were heard everywhere. At the door, as if by magic fairy Tinker Bell, the director appeared kindergarten Claudia Petrovna:

      – Tamara, go key to me! – A stern voice, so that it is audible to other parents, said the director.

      Well, here’s another. You want the best, and it turns the other way around. – Grumbling, went for Tamara director. Anya, took off the robe son:

      – Dima, you should cool down a bit. Then again we get dressed and go home.

      All right, Mom. Is it true that Aunt Anna will we live?

      – What do you want?

      – I do not know. – Dima replied evasively.

      – Well, after all?

      Of course, I want it to stay. She told me stories on the way to kindergarten told.

      Well, you son of lucky, I want it to stay.

      – Ur mom!

      A father to me, “Lexis” will take home. There’s a lounge and a computer is and warm! – Boastfully broadcast squeaky voice tiny baby in anticipation of its parent. Anya looked at him:

      – Go here, Igor. I’ll undress, chill out a little while my father would come.

      Kid awkwardly walked to Ana’s fashionable dark blue jacket with warm child to grow into a fashionable cut, as for skiers. Anna took off her jacket with a wholesome glow baby.

      – Well, now lying in wait for his dad. He probably somewhere stuck in a traffic jam on his “Lexis”.

      Dima jealously watched over the actions of mothers and frowning. His father was no longer a close and it seemed that all over him because of ridicule and make fun of. But in fact it was not. Meanwhile, Anya again put at Dima jacket, knit cap pulled on the hood. And quickly brought his son to the rash blizzard.

      Anna was not in vain wheeling in the kitchen. Hot and flavorful chicken, just taken out of the oven, published the magnificent smells rich spicy oriental spices. Molding golden crust, delicious rose chicken carcass on a platter lined with a baked potato in no way inferior color peel chicken. And fried onion rings to an amber color, odor competed with cilantro, fragrant celery and bay leaf smell. This still life is graced bank pickles and a bottle of red wine. Anya went into the apartment, drawn, these exquisite scents, went to the kitchen without removing clothing.

      – Wow! – Overlooking the course, which was put Anna on the kitchen table, utter delight.

      – I did not lose time in vain, as you can see. – Proudly she said.

      Well, we’re quick.

      Anna returned to her son. Dima at that time already had time to remove his outer clothing, and tinkered with the boots.

      – Hold on, son, I’ll help.

      Anna took off her coat, scarf and began take sub. Shoes off baby. Soon they were all gathered around the table. When the chicken was done, and Dima went to his room, the women were left alone in the kitchen.

      – This is what I think – began to speak first Anya. – This letter does not mean anything without a second letter, which I have not got on demand. What do you think, Anna, can it intercepted at the worst time for us, eh?

      – I have, in general, thought so too at first, but after analyzing the situation, I realized that this letter, on demand, and was not.

      – Where did you get that?

      Anna thought. Then she said, to withstand momentary pause:

      – When our men disappeared in an unknown direction, and we took turns to pull in for questioning, then, having received a letter of demand, we would be so framed to the general, we would not be sitting here in silence and warm.

      – So, it was not. – Was once again convinced Anya in their guesses. So, Elsa Eduardovna wrote metaphorically about something that needs to be laid out there. And she was determined not hesitate for a second, decided to analyze each line of text written by Aunt Elsa. Anna suddenly said:

      – You know, let’s drink this red wine. – She pointed out a bottle uncorked.

      No, Anna. I specifically put it in the kitchen cupboard, in a prominent place so that you could see it and become stronger in their decision not to drink more than ever.

      Well, you and Annie Inquisitor!

      – What can you do, Anna, you’re everything to me something with which I now live after the death of his mother and the loss of Lenny.

      – Well, then, let’s go through the rooms.

      – Yeah, it’s too early. Although I do tomorrow night to get up early. Honor that be.

      – And I porous in your room on the bookshelf.

      – Yes, I advise you to read Jack London, there’s a lot of interesting things there.

      Women went from room to room, even though it was still too early six o’clock thirty minutes in the evening. The windows are grizzled. Early spring was not like a spring, rather, it was still winter in his swing. Though the days have become longer.

      Anya came to his son. Dima was sitting on a shaggy carpet and heat was building a house out of blocks. Toy cars were scattered nearby. Trying not to disturb him, Anya took a letter from the bookcase and sat in a chair in the corner of the room and began to carefully re- read line by line, trying to comprehend the meaning inherent Aunt Elsa there. Her attention was drawn to the lines: “… Here it is, and has forwarded this letter, which I hope will get to you. I have a surprise for you, Anya. After three- plus years, you still will be able to request an main post office in Moscow to demand Sent me with a light hand on Alexei your name. If all else fails, take your passport and go down again to the administration. you will have to give it. There you will find an indication of the fact that you have a substantial amount of money in U.S. dollars and this amount tucked away in a safe place, where you will learn from the letter …”

      After reading these lines a few times, Anna thought. She was drawn words: “… for you, Anya surprise. – And another thing – there you will find a reference to the fact that you have a significant amount of money … – And that – this amount is hidden in a safe place, where you will learn from a letter …”

      Well, of course, it has to learn from this letter, which is holding in his hands. Anya was feverishly over phrases lines, comparing the read information from a variety of items that they knew Elsa Eduardovna together. In memory of her suddenly emerged antique jewelry box with secret wedding gift Elsa Eduardovna. On its existence, Anya long forgotten. At first, she folded back her ornaments, which gave her husband, then when moved to a pawn shop jewelry, began to develop various unnecessary gizmos, which did not want to leave. But where does this casket? Anya, intuitively rather than for a specific purpose, opened the top door of the bookcase and pulled out a beautiful box. On the cover were depicted in the national costumes of German girl and a young man in dance. The
