I remember.
– It was then flooded with work. And then the endless raids and ambushes in our apartments. And then I could not stand it. In sect was nice and quiet at first. I regained her family the same impoverished, like myself. Yes, yes, of course. – Yeah Anna Krazimova saw that she had calmed down, and you could carry on a conversation in a peaceful way.
– Because then they disappeared all of a sudden. And we began to drag, to find out we could not cover them. Frayed nerves so much to us. – Told Sobinova, sighing on the verge of bursting into tears again. – So you’ve decided to join the cult. Sold the apartment, gave money to the so- called teacher and…
– I was on the street.
– But you probably forgot that you had and I have! – Anya said proudly. Sobinova sadly looked at her friend and a quiet voice she said: – Then here I started treated with vodka.
In order to somehow change the subject, Anna pointed to the letter and stated: – Honestly, I wanted to throw in the trash, but it was here when such passions with you come on, come on, read what there. You can always throw together laugh at these fishers of men’s souls.
– This letter has now no meaning for me. But still, let’s attempt to open Annie, look, it’s there!
Anya got out of the kitchen cabinet table knife and pierced them, envelope, opened it. Inside were neatly packed in another envelope smaller color photographs, and was attached a piece of paper covered even calligraphy. Anya took that piece of paper, said:
Handwriting- so wrote Elsa Eduardovna. Bah! Yes this is a letter from her!
– You cannot be serious! – Cried out in surprise and astonishment Sobinova.
Yes, look, here’s in the end her signature.
– What are you waiting for? Read!
Anna began to read a letter, time, and then taking his eyes from reading in utter surprise, commenting read: – How so? After Villa was founded by Nazi criminal still in nineteen sixty- first year! And there, suddenly, is general and Elsa Eduardovna!
– I, once, my Peter told me that the Nazis at the end of the war is very advanced in the development of flying saucers. And that helped them in some kind of extraterrestrial civilization.
– You probably do not in themselves a girlfriend?
Sobinova ignoring the remark Ani, continued:
– This is the most alien civilization and put away our relatives there this Villa. Here’s what I think!
– In any case, the general Garin could not on their own be in the nest. – Pointedly concluded Anya.
Yes, read the same, that there is this Aunt Elsa writes? – Impatience Sobinova come to an end. But Anna could not believe what he was reading, and broke new tirade:
– As far as I know the general, he would never, never, even under no circumstances would not agree to hide as timid hare, there, in the den of refuge, founded by former criminal.
– I believe that there were circumstances and took them there against their will! – Sobinova said firmly. – Yes, read it at last! Maybe they’ll find the answer to many questions! We learn though that be about our husbands?
Anya continued to read further. And the answer is found. Elsa Eduardovna wrote:
“… We are constantly terrorized, took fright at. Said that destroy unconditionally, until one day I was with Alex loaded into the machine, similar to ours, but with significant differences inside the cabin. Released us here have indicated the house in which we will have to live. And now, after years, only recently, just the other day I find out where we are and where we have hidden. Yes, it is very convenient and the lives of Alexey we do not complain. But constant anxiety does not leave me a sense of isolation from the outside world and oppresses depressing. Locals do not talk to us and try not to get us on the eyes. Reception staff speak only on the Latin language incomprehensible to me. But I learned the language and started a friendship with the maid. 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 more every 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 is hidden in a safe place, where you will learn from the message. Dimochka you with enough for a lifetime. This is Alex asked to hide the money from their accounts. How he did it is better not to ask. Yet he did it before our flight to Antarctica. Well, that’s about all. Be happy. We do not look, it’s useless. Unless something changes in our destiny for the better, then we shall find you themselves. Eduardovna Your Elsa, our little Dima and Alexei.”

– Why not a word about my Pete and Lena? – Sadly Anna asked.
– You, that I realized that they were immediately isolated from each other. Aunt Elsa did not even know if our husbands are alive! – In our hearts, with tears in his eyes passed over, she replied Anne.
– That’s it, my friend, you have to go to the main post office for the letter.
– You want me to again clung to me with questions!
– What are you, Annie, you fool! It has been three, almost three and a half years, who comes into my head to follow the poor widow?
– I am not a widow! – Suddenly cried Anne. – Do not you dare me so, do you hear, do not you dare call me that more than ever! Do you understand?
– Yes! Understood. – Deaf Sobinova said.
Anya straightened. Her eyes flashed angrily. Anger she was breathing rapidly. Her breasts under a red woolen blouse heaving in time with the rapid breathing.
– You still pleases me to teach? Tell me what time it is?
Anna, grabbing hold of the saving straw reconciliation, answered:
– Five to six!
– It’s too late. As long as I get to the main post office issuing letters of demand to cease. We’ll have tomorrow. ‘ll Take Dima in kindergarten and I will go for the letter. Well, what a job the next day.
Anna, surprised and cautiously looked at Anna. This she saw her for the first time and scared. And suddenly Krazimova take and throw it on the street. Where it go? No housing, no job. She suddenly found itself in such a terrible situation. Gradually unwittingly found herself on the bottom of the homeless and destitute beggars.
– Forgive me. – Suddenly, she said, lowering her eyes, and hid them in his hands. She was terribly ashamed of this fragile and beautiful woman, still consider her a friend.
– Forgive me. – Again she repeated. But this phrase has rang through her sobs. Tears streamed down her palms and hands, moisturizing cloth kitchen table. Anya with undisguised sense of pity Sobinov watched in confusion, not knowing what to do with her crying. Finally a wave of surging anger left her, replacing compassion and resentment for her friend, which has reached such a state.
Yeah right, then. Calm down and tarry until we have. I will not ask every time a neighbor take Dima in kindergarten and take it from there as long as I’m on duty. It’ll do you.
– I will drop to drink, you’ll see! How could I come to this? – Again, sobbing, said through tears Sobinova.
– You know, Anna I almost washed down myself, when I came to the paper Lenya, that he was missing. Here are just Dima and saved me from that.
Anna wiped
