writing is not solved.

“Okay, you’ll roll for a month,” the lieutenant colonel postponed. - I have another question for you. Did you start your Bolshakov or how?

- I did only what I wanted. Now I do not need it! - pursed Kalinin's plump lips.

- So how? Is there a result? - Nina Georgievna looked at the librarian's flat stomach.

“I don't know,” Kalinina shrugged.

- Delay appeared?

- For now only for a few days.

- And the chest? Do you feel pain in the mammary glands?

- Yes! - admitted Elena Pavlovna. - Swollen, became very sensitive. Sometimes so that it is impossible to lie on your stomach. Previously, this was not.

- Congratulations! You - flew! - Bestuzheva lightly patted Elena Pavlovna on the stomach. “You already have someone here!” Get ready for new surprises. And first, show yourself to the doctor.

“I won't hurry,” said Elena Pavlovna. - I'll wait for the time when you can not have an abortion.

- How do you explain to your husband? According to you, you have not had sex without a condom.

- There was one case when prezik burst, still there ...

- Not last year? - Bestuzheva joked.

- Recently ...

- Okay. You choose how to get out of this. I came for what? My Polyakov wants your hakhal to my assistants to determine. Can you imagine? After all, for sure, this helper will pester, you bastard. What do you advise?

Helen Pavlovna, just recently, tormented conscience. And she said what she thought was necessary to say:

- Stay away from him!

- Why on earth? Looks like I liked him last time. And he, for example, liked me. Are you jealous?

- Yornichaesh, huh?

- Do not pout, I was joking. I didn’t want his work with me to be a surprise for you. Do not sulk? Right? Then everything is fine. And do not forget that we are with you - read blood girlfriends. I know your secret, and you know mine. This is me about a future book in which you will be the main character, - and giggled before leaving. - Bye, bestseller heroine! ..

...

If it were not for this last replica of Bestuzhevoy, Elena Pavlovna, probably, would not have informed Bolshakov about the plans of the “friend” about the play, and the book.

Both news, after the signal: “Roth, hang up!”, Were discussed by the “council” of hypostasis.

The news was acknowledged to be good and timely, since Boris Bolshakov began to “get dispersed” - to stare at the garrison shop saleswoman - a pretty donut from civilians.

- One does not interfere with the other - said "I". - Will be able to insert both - well done. But there is no way to compare these goals. The saleswoman is also someone's wife and does not seem to be walking (which, you still have to make sure). But the spouse of the head of the political department is aerobatics! Having passed it, the patron learns to see women as they really are, and not those they try to appear to be.

- Take care of our lady! - demanded "Petrovich."

"Boris" was of the same opinion.

- What do you want from me? - exclaimed Bolshakov. - Than the saleswoman is worse than a ballerina?

“We want to help you become who you should be,” said Boris. - Do not spray on "trifles"! When you learn to subjugate the will of strong opponents, you will more than catch up on lost opportunities.

- Yeah! - resisted Bolshakov. - You, “gentlemen”, do not think that the peculiarity of all the advice is that it is easy to give them, but it is not always possible to carry out them ... ... Ok. Suppose I agree ...

- And where are you? - snort "Petrovich."

... what to do when they send me to the Officers' House under the commencement of this lieutenant colonel?

- “This lieutenant colonel!” - imitated “I”. - You might think that you are turned back by her!

“Draw sketches, coordinate them with Madame, and try to arrange the girl for your person,” advised Boris, “which, by the way, after a case with a librarian, will not be easy.The girl is warned ...

- By whom? - Petrovich was on the alert.

- Not by whom, but by what. Circumstances ...

In the discussions of the "advisers" a prolonged pause arose, during which Bolshakov almost fell asleep.

“There is slack in the defense of the tiptoe,” Awakened the falling asleep “I,” is the book that the lieutenant colonel wants to compose. If Kalinina did not confuse anything, the subject of the book will be the relationship between a man and a woman. Love romanticism with bed scenes. Our lady does not have enough experience to describe such events. She did not walk and did not change. And for authenticity, you will need complete information or ... personal experience ...

- And since, she is not going to change her husband, and hopes to be content with the captain’s notes, it’s necessary that this material be scarce. Then the woman will not neglect the help of the second participant in the action, and turn to our patron! - finished the statement of the third hypostasis clever "Boris".

- Hey, patron, you shine become a consultant and visual aid. - giggled "Petrovich." - The writer will start, here, curious, you can spud!

- Your words, but God in your ears! - growled sleepy, Bolshakov. - Round out! I want to sleep! ... - he wrapped himself in a blanket, as if in a cocoon, and "swam away" to visit Morpheus ...

...

“You are punctual, Bolshakov,” said Bestuzhev in the tone of the commander (which means lieutenant colonel!), Satisfied with her subordinates. - I was not sure that you would come on time.

- I try to be precise.

- It is commendable. So - about our sheep ...

- I'm sorry, I did not get it...

- Do not pay attention! This, out of place, was remembered by the saying of my first director. With her, he usually started rehearsal ... Can you draw a backdrop for the ballet "Swan Lake"? Here is a short libretto of the play ...

- Do not bother, I know. If it were not for the music of Peter Ilyich, the plot is quite primitive ...

- Yes, eh? - in the voice of the capital maiden sounded distrust. - Can you tell?

- Allow me. Prince Siegfried falls in love with enchanted Odette and with his confession promises to break the spell of the villain Rothbara, who turned Odette and her friends into white swans. The evil genius, with the help of his daughter Odile, seeks to deceive Siegfried by passing Odile as Odette and, the most to destroy the flock of swans together with their Princess. He does not succeed. And in the fourth act, Rothbart enters into combat with Prince Siegfried. As a result of the fight, the magician dies. His magic is crumbling. Odette and Siegfried, together with other charmed girls, happily greeted the first rays of the rising sun. Somewhere so! - in one breath gave Bolshakov.

And so far, astonished Nina Georgievna was preparing to say something, scored a new batch of air and added: - This is an option with a good ending, but there is a scenario where the Princess Swans, Odette, dies away. Which of them did you stop at?

Bolshakov looked at Nina Georgievna with a calm, almost innocent look, in the depths of which it shone: “Know ours!”

- Did you go to Swan Lake?

- Three times. Everyone was waiting for someone to repeat thirty-two foutes of the Italian dancer Pierina Lignani. Alas!

- Wow ... - Nina Georgievna was pleasantly surprised. - And where did you look? In Moscow?

- In the Mariinsky Leningrad. Mother works there as a ticket collector. And in Kuibyshev, when he was visiting with his relatives, “Boris” brazenly lied.

- Rare perseverance ...

- What I want, I always achieve.

"You are not too cocky ..." - reminded Bolshakov of the incarnation.

- And what did you like most about ballet? - the former prima ballerina could not calm down.

- In "Swan Lake" music by Tchaikovsky. And if about the ballet in general, then “Bolero” staged by Maurice Bejart with Maya Plisetskaya.

It was a breakthrough concrete wall of arrogance!

“Suddenly,” Bestuzhevoy’s voice softened, but the commanding notes still remained. - If you're lying, then prepared perfectly. Let's go to the gym. There is a canvas for the backdrop. You need to decide on its size and make a few sketches for the second and fourth ballet paintings ...

...

The floor in the gym of the Officers' House was covered with white sheets sewn together.The overall size of the future backdrop was impressive - almost from the volleyball court! Benches, gymnastic apparatus and mats were moved to the perimeter of the walls.

Nina Georgievna, the mistress of the situation, walked along a canvas fixed to a wooden floor. She bent over several times, assessing the quality of the seams between the stitched sheets. Then, gracefully turned to the artist:

- Well, how can you cope with this amount of work?

“It depends on colors and tools,” said Bondarenko, impressed with the demonstration of a flexible body.

- what?

- Need acrylic or tempera ... Better acrylic. Wide brushes, flats, paint rollers and trays for paint.

- Make a detailed list. All that is needed will be purchased in Ussuriysk. In the meantime, you have a few days to make sketches of soft decorations. Do you know what it is?

- I guess ...

- The soft elements of the scene design include: backstage, curtains, panoramas, backdrops ...

- And the rugs.

- Right. Somewhere already doing this?

- Not.

- Well, yes ... How did I forget? At your disposal is a garrison library ... and not only ...

- Not only...

- I know everything.

- Not all.

- Yes?

Bolshakov said nothing, not without pleasure, watching what various emotions walk on her, with impeccable features, her face.

- But! - Bestuzheva closely looked at the soldier. - You do not look like a person with low self-esteem.

“What it is,” Bolshakov lowered modestly.

- With sketching do not tighten. And as soon as they are approved, proceed to work. The ballerinas will work in a dance class, but before the premiere, they need a few rehearsals on stage with ready-made decorations ...

Nina Georgievna, again walked on the snow-white canvas. She did not look toward the soldier, tried to speak in a commanding tone, but remained a very attractive woman.

Bolshakov realized that the first round of their meeting was behind him.

Standing still, he watched the target of his future penetration move, and tried to examine it properly.

Black caret hairstyles. The perfect profile of a pale, slightly flushed face. High chest and straight back - in a fitting sweatshirt. Blue jeans in close-fitting. Brand new blue sneakers.

The slim and beautiful wife of another man he wants now!

The soldier lowered his gaze to the place where the ballerina’s slender legs descended and imagined how he would pull them apart and then put them on his shoulders ...

All this will be in the hour of his riding ...

"And I will do it out on those mats," he decided.

“A convenient place for our work,” he announced aloud. - If only they would not interfere ...

Not understanding the hidden meaning of his words, and not turning on the pronoun "us", Nina Georgievna confirmed:

- Do not interfere. The hall has an emergency exit and is locked ...
