Sžala ruki pod [temnoj]1 vual'ju… «Otčego ty segodnja bledna?» — Ottogo, čto ja terpkoj pečal'ju Napoila ego dop'jana. Kak zabudu? On vyšel, šatajas', Iskrivilsja mučitel'no rot… JA sbežala, peril ne kasajas', JA bežala za nim do vorot. Zadychajas', ja kriknula: «Šutka Vse, čto bylo. Ujdeš', ja umru». Ulybnulsja spokojno i žutko I skazal mne: «Ne stoj na vetru».
