"The titmouse in a hand" has not brought - Sasha which generally were not differing by special compulsion, there were
houses.
neobjazatelnostju all differed this new to Century F, the intelligentsko-dissident youth environment. They as though it is lazy
played clear game any by him not up to the end with not absolutely clear rules.
It could not estimate level of its danger yet.
For a minute without forgetting about the overall objective - information searches about Gosha, it continued to remain the
observer. Whatever mere words they told, in whatever boring games played, people still were interesting to it.
He agreed about a meeting with Alexander the day before, by phone, but... Passing Neva on Alexander Nevskogo's long
bridge, it has again started to despair, thinking that that, probably, will bring. And what then? To wait on a ladder?
The Stalin house, the fifth floor... Sasha has opened a door.
The round face, small moustaches, brown, is a little navykate, eyes, - Sasha napomnal Century F simultaneously Peter the
Great portrait and Angela Devis's photo. However, unlike the great tsar, its character was much less furious, and unlike well
-known Negro revoljutsionerki, a head of hear, though also similar under the form - a cap of curly hair over a wide forehead -
less magnificent. Behind his back, in the heart of dimly shined corridor, the young man in a hussar uniform examined itself in a
mirror.
Sasha has slightly stood aside, passing staying.
The young man has turned, V.F.Brjaknula a sabre in a sheath, fastened to a belt has taken the first step. Has given a hand.
The hairdress of the young man was ordinary, it did not carry moustaches, but the person was similar to Sashu.
My brother, - has explained Alexander.
Hand shake was dry and strong.
- It is possible.
- I here should still which-that finish, you excuse, - brother Misha has turned and has left at a room.
- I now still which with whom will acquaint you. Give on kitchen.
From the moment of Gosha's disappearance they already saw twice, this time was the third, and two more times Alexander
has brought it. Once Century F has in vain waited its half an hour on a ladder before this apartment, and another - searched,
but has not found, having strayed approximately as much time on narrow corridors in the heart of matematiko-mechanical
faculty on the tenth line of Vasilevsky island though, apparently, on the eve of Sasha has supplied it matematicheski with the
exact description of a route...
But Alexander, apparently, did not test any awkwardness for another's insults, these are trifles on which to the serious person
who was engaged in by serious business, it is not necessary to pay attention. Besides he so sincerely aspired to help with
Gosha's searches that at it was to take offence difficultly long.
