OCR & spellcheck by HarryFan, 12 July 2001 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Mister Blinghem, чтоб he is fried on eternal flames, was an assistant treasurer in companies "Delicacy". He went from NEW YORK in Uinnepeg in accompaniment its wife and препротивной дочки. Of course, истых new-йоркцев to only business necessities could allure in such wilderness, and all that lies the западнее of the staff Pennsylvania, caused contemptuous snorting beside them. They amused oneself on that that Chicago has dared to wind beside itself skyscrapers and that Madison pretends on rank of the university city, but under въезде in Minnesota, seeing poster, advertising "Ten Thousand Lake", have even stopped the machine and завопили from delight. Miss Blinghem, which named "Babe", has noticed: - It is Necessary to possess hereby new-йоркским feeling of the humour to value, before what laughable this poster. When was shown first steepe village of the Minnesota - six lodges, garage, shop and high краснокирпичный elevator, mrs Blinghem has giggled: - See-ka, yes beside them here its Empayr Steyt билдинг! - And all Svensony, Bensony and Hensony each evening leave in restaurant "Rainbow", - was called back Babe. They have been enough revelry on a hundred of miles until came time of the morning meal. Mrs Blinghem ed on card: - GRANDE-Ripablik, Minnesota. The Miles fourty thence. The Big city, do not jest - eighty five thousand inhabitants. - There and stop. Find beside them hotel, where possible have a bite, - has stretched mister Blinghem, yawning. - A Colour local society eats in sanctum of the Armies of the Saving, - has declared mrs Blinghem. - Ouch, can not! - has cheeped the Babe. When with whirlled coast Sorshey-ривер before they were opened type on turn white tower of the FEDERAL RESERVE BANK "Blyu Oks" and on body Derevoobdelochnogo Combine Uorgeyta, выросшие after 1941 - utter steel and glass, - mister Blinghem has said: - But decent beside them here military заводик. For years, the second world war population Grande-Ripablik increased with 85.000 before 90.000. For ninety thousand immortal shower was here found centre вселенной, and all distances were measured thence; Moscow was a city for 6100 miles from Grande-Ripablik, Saudi Arabia - a sales market for уоргейтовской of the dry plaster, propeller and standard houses. Blinghemy, firmly знавшие by that centre of the solar system is a corner by Heel avenue and Fifty seventh streets, came in resentment, having heard, how much in this valley simpleton, which воображают that whole NEW YORK consists of hotels, music hall, ghetto and Uoll-стрита. Mrs Blinghem hurried: - Go. Not to stand us here whole day, admire on this scramble! In guidebook is said that best kitchen in calve "Paynlend". Have Gone to "Paynlend". On way to "Paynlendu" they most certainly попалось several vill затейливой of the architecture восьмидесятых years, italian catholic church, pownshop, where woodsman-lithuanian has right before pawned the revolver, from which he застрелил the cook-сиамца, ателье lady garb the best all through from Fort-Uiliyamsa before Dallas, pilot with the order of the Cross to Victoria and negro priest with degree ph.d, - but nothing this they have not noticed. The Brake before девятиэтажным by mosaic facade calve "Paynlend" (the architects Lefler, O'FLAERTI and Myuller from Minneapolisa), mister Blinghem has said with doubt in voice: - N-nu, hope, anything edible here to find. Their has much made laugh the pretentious name more high-class from two restaurants "Paynlenda" - "Fiezole", but him not at all was shown funny if b they have heard that local inhabitants pronounce this word "Fizoli", - they pronounced him(it) exactly in the same way themselves. The Spirit of the Renaissance in "Fiezole" долженствовали create the wall, раскрашенные under помпейские of the fresco, майоликовая dishes, two spanish wine flasks beside entry and frieze, expressing древнегреческих runner, functioning(working) the local artist-portrait painter. - However and are assigned in this most - fu, has again forgotten, as him(it)? - an воскликнула Babe. - GRANDE-Rapids, - has said mister Blinghem. - Nothing like, Grande-Rapids - whence aunt Ella. But this small town, - authoritative has declared mrs Blinghem, having managed on card, - is identified Grande-Ripablik. - Idiotskoe name! - an изрекла Detka. - Well else that not "Day to Independence". Oh uzh this province! The Maitre dhotel, high, sedate negro, which head reminded the brown billiard ball, ceremonious tale them to table. They did not know that this Drexel Grinsho, leader of the conservative wing of the negro commune. He looked like bishop, on general, on senator - on any one of that, whom he could become if elected itself other profession - and the other colour of the skin. Mister Blinghem has booked the goulash on-hungarian. Mrs Blinghem dared on hot from young барашка. The Babe has chosen the chicken salad and прикрикнула on black man of the waiter: - Yes it is impossible, чтоб has there got although bit of the hen! Their terribly cheered up that waiter bowed and said: - Listen, miss. That here was funny, they were obstructed explain. But as they themselves spoke: "it is Necessary to be born in NEW YORK to value new-йоркское feeling of the humour. The Swarthy lackey in some godforsaken обжорке, but cut - exactly serves beside Ritca!" The Truth to say, in NEW YORK, solved покутить, they left not to Ritcu, but in one of the ресторанчиков. SHrafta. Carelessly digging up fork its salad - which she, however, has eaten дочиста and even bread has not left, - a Babe from on high looked over the common-room: - M-m, m-m! The Venerable ancestor,-ka to the right. See for nearby table of the boy? I want, чтоб you me his(its) have bought. The Object her(its) flattering attention was a young person of the years thirty more pleasing on type - a broad shoulder, strong hands in freckle and that especial whiteness of the skin, which often meets beside redhead. Immediately came the thought about football, later changed by more exquisite tennis. But most of all in he attracted strangely clear glance blue eye and clear, emotional smile. - Looks like officer scottish shelf, - has approved Detka. - Only small skirts comes short. - Well that you, Babe! But in my opinion, he looks like seller from shoe shop, - has percolated mrs Blinghem. And they have then and there forgotten about this молодом of the person, who was not neither seller from shoe shop, nor scotsman - realy that on one quarter. His(its) called Niyl Kingsblad, he served in bank and was recently demobilized from army in rank of the captain. Continuing after morning meal its way on north, Blinghemy lost with roads. They considered below its value to question the wild native and long whirlled on застроенному natty villa quarter Ottawa-хайтс, but afterwards amongst гонтовых кровель, varicoloured facade, concrete terrazzoes and mirror windows new vein region, carried name Silivan-parka. Moving with Phony path on Balizaminovuyu trope, they have not noticed the newcomer, чистенький, свежеоштукатуренный cottage, in "colonial" stiletto, with blue jalousie and white дощатыми panel, stood on northwest corner, and did not take a look at high beautiful get younger woman and four-year, the whole golden-turn pink девчурку, come down in this time with крыльца. But meantime exactly in this house of the veins captain Niyl Kingsblad, and this was his(its) wife News and daughter, резвушка Biddi. - Come even so to ask the road. Interesting, here on-english understand? - annoyed has said mrs Blinghem. At night, driving up to Krukstonu, point, marked for place to sleep, mister Blinghem pensive pronounce: - What is identified this городишко, where we lunched today, well here is, where we else заплутались, when left on freeway? - Here is drolly, at all not припомню, - has said mrs Blinghem. - Big-ривер that. - Where was that nice young person, - has said the Babe. 2 Beside Niyla and News Kingsblad, on rarity покладистых хозяев, were a troubles with servant, and this does not follow to understand as usual comedy of the home muddles. Even colonial villa young financier not alien their own tragedies, at least and in miniature. Seemed, Niyl Kingsblad was not created neither for tragedy, nor for specifically prominent good lucks. The Redhead, curly, голубоглазый, tall, merry, in equal measure distant from book wisdom and worldly treachery, Niyl at November 1944 occupied the job title of the assistant main accountant in Vtorom FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS Grande-Ripablik, where director was mister John Uiliyam Pratt. He loved its family, their own friends, its work, fish fishing, hunt and golf, loved the fishing rods, handguns, boats and other simple and remarkable belongings, with which are bound these sports. But now he already could not wander on wood and lake of the North Minnesota. The Year back, when his(its) пехотная part occupied one italian hamlet, he was wounded in shift to the right leg. This leg for ever remained on полдюйма shorter, but lameness already nearly did not disturb him to move, and he firmly calculated that to springtime 1945 although and with a hop, but will leave on tennis court. His(its) reputation of one of the the most beautiful mans in city did not damage; the lameness even added something drolly-nice his(its) gait, but shoulder and bosom he had such powerful, either as earlier. The Past cristmas he промучился in military hospital in England; but then this year he will meet the рождественские holidays building, with its loved News, high, cheerful, tender, but wholly reasonable young woman, and with дочуркой Elizabeth, all four years to its lifes known under name Biddi, - a charming clever person Biddi, beside which skin exactly strawberries with cream, but hairs of the colour champaign. Niyl was born in 1914, when world haved a fever the omen of the first world war; he believed in holy nature of the second world war; but now, for cocktail in Tennis club Silivan-parka, he boldly confirmed - yes and itself ready was believe, - that third world war not will and possible peacefully raise the if favour god (his(its) god was baptist, but the god News - episcopalian) beside they are born the son. His(its) father was a known dentist doctor Kennet M.KINGSBLAD, else successfully здравствующий and practising (acceptance in House Specialist, corner CHippeva-avenue and West-Remsi-стрит), but his(its) grandparent with maternal sides - Edgar Saksinar, in past agent of the telephone company, now живший on quietness in Minneapolise. Thereby, he proceed from more venerable scientist and business circles, but as to property and public position then in this, it is necessary to confess, his(its) family far yielded the family a News, who father was Morton Bihaus, president Akc. O-va Energosvet Prairie, brother Olivera Bihausa, the main of the legal adviser уоргейтовских enterprise. When in Grande-Ripablik speak "Bihaus" - sounds, as "Adam", "Sesili" or "Piniyatelli". The News in due course was a president of the League Formed Young Womans, чемпионкой on golf of the country club "Heather", the best in county by voluntary agent on spreading the military loan, secretary to Guilds sv.Anselima, chairman of the Programme Committee of the Lady club and победительницей of the tournament on bridge in Cosmopolitan (the prize - a coffee set of chiha on six persona). For all that she has saved the human line. She окончила Wreathe-Brayer-college in Virginii, and was considered that beside it more dainty taste, than beside Niyla, which in бытность its student Minnesotskogo university did not rise above cheap rooming house and пивнушек. But she spoke of itself: "I do not pretend on интеллектуальность. In shower I homemaker". She had narrow, oblong person, illuminated merry sulphur eye, and hairs unexceptional chestnut tone, but strangely thick and splendid. The Hands she had broader, than beside Niyla, beside which strong hand finished the long fine finger. The News laughed easy, but not too much. To Niylu she felt the love, respect, tenderness; in cinema, during session, often kept his(its) hand in its, and marital relations not become for it idle time by habit. Before his(its) woundings she loved to wander with him on boat on deserted north lake; she separated his(its) Sane Conservative-Republican Looks at bank deal, tax and perfidy trade union. This was in full sense Lucky American Matrimony. Though News выросла in gray stone Bihausovskom mansion on aristocratic Beltrami-avenue, her was immediately sewn on on shower замысловатая simplicity Silivan-parka. There "timber кущи, ancient, as the world, closed around solar clearings", which mister Uiliyam Stopl, Sale and Premises Management, not sparing expenseses, has planned out in the manner of area of the whimsial form. The News supplied the tenderness to its беленькому lodge, to his(its) natty semicircular крыльцу with graceful pillar. The Drawing room in lodge was surrounded conservatively, but all in she pleased the eye - a low chair with navy blue upholstery, terra-cotta curtains, watch with боем, brightly flaming heater (electric, with glass углями), but on fire regiment - a german helmet, scanned combat трофеем Niyla. But else more expressive spoke of prosperity хозяев glass verandah, where floor was выложен red bars and stood green braided furniture and refrigerator for bottles and whence for вящего аристократизма was opened type on hill, on top which высился Hill-хауз; the fairy-tale villa Bertolida Eyzengerca. Such a grandeur was obviously not on facility common bank teller, but Niyl before recent time was whole only teller. This father-in-law помог to him to settle down on so broad leg and even wind the servant - most big luxury to american civilization, in condition which you may have "cadillac", but footwear must itself to clean themselves. To word to say, not such uzh this bad form to civilizations, once she allows you to order about only mechanical servant. In Silivan-park will not meet neither garden with brick railing, nor chauffeur with brick physiognomy, which decorate itself Ottawa-хайтс. The Neighbours Niyla enjoy the life in standard cottage, семикомнатных chalet and frame house. Along серповидных Alley and Trope show off the merry fountains, but central area, referred to as "Piyacca", encircled квазииспанскими arcade, where are located natty shops. But on this бутафорской Grenada are frantically carried children, full-grown carry the колясочки with infant and father shovel the опавшие sheet. Mister Uiliyam Stopl (do not forget that recently he was a mayor Grande-Ripablik) confidentially turns your attention on that in Silivan-park you are saved from jew, italian, negro and officious нищих, is either as from noise, midge and boring прямолинейности streets. Officially he heralds: "WHERE disappeared juvenile грезы and visions девичьих снов? WHERE romanticism the past years, WHERE лилейно-blanching virgo beside mirror iron;press;pet pond, under canopy of the toothed tower with proudly реющим flag? In YOUR authorities to resurrect today this daydream. Silivan-park - here is place, where come true VWVappear in the dreams, where harmonious быт, picturesque landscape, the latest comfort, all good American LIFESTYLE to Your service on solely inexpensive price and on the most favourable condition, references in writing and on telephone, on ambience office open before 10 ch. веч.". Niyl and News laughed at this sample of the poetries of our time, but Silivan-park they and themselves considered grow, extremely sensibly organized grow - and money for their lodge were already nearly are completely discharged. Near by marital sleeping (under her was a tiled bathroom with лотосами and sea skates on wall) was found nursery Biddi - a rabbits and Mikki Mausy, - but further went crowding комнатушка, the whole in corners and salient, caught and bound by any unnecessary schlock, which was referred to as "cabinet" Niyla and in the event of necessity served the guest room. Here Niyl came to behold their own fishing rods and hockey sticks, cup "For well-aimed shooting", which he has won in 1941, and its loved collection of the firearm. He had охотничье handgun to companies of the Hudson bay, gun 45-go calibre, from what shot the Canadian mounted police body, and half-dozen of the modern rifles. He always dreamed of lifes фронтирсмена, some agent to border trading post Astora in Minnesota 1820 and loved the calendar with mark about байдарочном sport and about habit of the mooses. And then and there was his(its) personal, not too extensive library. The Compositions Kiplinga, compositions O'GENRI, adventures SHerloka Holmsa, history of the bank deal, bound kits "National geographical journal" and managament Bizli on tennis and Morisona on golf. Amongst this solid product got lost sometime in the corner томик verse Emili Dikinson, presented him as far back as college by girl, name and appearance which he has forgotten completely, and Niyl sometimes got this томик, turned the pages of him(it) and wondered. At the end of the narrow corridor was found premises, which they made with especial care - a bedroom and separate bathroom of their servant, miss Belfridy Grey, young person of the negro origin. The Litter about that, as it is difficult in this heavy wartime to hold the servant, they did not feel sorry the facilities to получше surround the premises Belfridy. In room was radio, вышитое coverlet on beds, several issues "Fcompanion(satellite) of the homemaker", but once upon a time News, in fit of the madness, has bought Belfride persisting english люфу. Belfrida has taken her(it) for some dry evil spirits and a little has not required the payment, when News has presented her this gift. From rose bath soap in the manner of ducks, offered News, Belfrida too refused, explicable that her(its) skin does not carry other soaps, except "Gout de Rose", dollar piece. "Gout de Rose" was is immediately got, and all Belfrida was thinking of about care. At desire she could be an excellent cook, but just at the moment beside it this desires was not. Belfride went twenty second years, and in her(its) springy flexibility was its, special beauty. She persistently did not acknowledge the stocking, even when gave on table, and her(its) splendid legs, exactly from warm атласистой bronze, hardly closed flapping skirt, constantly upset Niyla and his(its) guests though further embarrassments deal did not go. The Acquaintance with Belfridoy, convinced Niyla and News in that that to keep the servant cost(stand)s more nerve, than itself concern with the facilities, could, certainly, generate in them determined bias against negro - however, they also did not differ the special юдофильством and did not supply the hot liking to индейцам, яванцам or finn. 3 - No, - has said Niyl its wife, - I always spoke that mister Pratt too uzh conservative. He considers the people only such, as we, leading its sort from англичан, frenchman or german. But scandinavians, irishman, hungarians, pole nor in that does not put. He does not want to understand that we live in new America. I personally enemy any prejudice, however this does not disturb me to see that there is belongings, in which negroes can not and never will be able be compared to us. I this has understood in Italies, when saw, as they спокойненько concerned with the unload a court while we, white soldiers, took over fire of the enemy. Or here is Belfrida - wants that she paid, as голливудской to star, but at twelve o'clocks to nights her(its) else building no! They are a saws to cocktails in its comfortable kitchen with white enamel electric plate, refrigerator, dishwasher and garbage chute, with red metallic chair and blue metallic table - an exemplary kitchen, new allegory of the America, received on change bison and бревенчатой to shack. Beside News today was a day progressive, humanistic moods. - I with you not agree, Niyl. Not нахожу to Belfrida was demanding some white девчонки, which at fifteen years each evening wants to have in its dictation master's machine. And not so uzh merrily whole day to be busy in someone else kitchen, in fume and cabbage halitosis. I did not want. But you should like to, you, financial ace? - Yes, probably, too no. But even so its bathroom and separate room not that in negro quarter, on May-стрит, where, I heard, live on six persons in one closet; the jv peacefully, one, nobody does not disturb. That is to say I hope that Belfrida sleeps one though this back entrance always inspires me suspicions. And free time with two before half fifth, just when beside us in bank head пухнет from numerals. And on all ready, under eighteen dollars at week. - You eighty get! - But after all I must contain you - and Belfridu! - But she spoke me that helps the grandparent - know the oldster Uosha, cleaner footwear in "Paynlende"? - I understand, konechno. - Niyl was in measure serdobolen. - Probably, this gravely - whole life to nurse the someone else детей. CHarli Seyvord assures that come such time, when to homework will get a job only on the conditions of skilled specialist - fifty dollars at week and after functioning(working) home, as bank teller or plumber. But me this does not like! I liked, when servant got eight dollars at week and all did - and cooked, and wiped, and else intense heats patty for small mister that is to say for me. In we get prettier the position turn out to be the returned hero if all oppressed to nations, for liberty which we fought, are really freed and will want to sit on our place! Oh, News, life becomes too to be complex for poor soldier! The News dug in kitchen cabinets. Suddenly she plaintive воскликнула: - This негодяйка to not to be busy, again испекла two pies immediately, and the second us to come there is stale! No, honored word, I her(its) выгоню and shall be in charge itself! - You do not seem that you not very consequent in its protection oppressed? - R-r! Let's заглянем to her in room while her(its) no. With uncleanly conscience spy they on tiptoe rose on stairway and fell into boudoir Belfridy. On not gathered bed - this bed never could be is removed - wallowed the loafers, linen with rose ленточками and short subjects; the pillow was quite blackenning from pomade for hair. On ночном table, over bible, lay the book, озаглавленная: "Magic reference book John Conqueror: Magnets, Amulets for aiming the damage, Privorotnye Perfume, Koldovskie Salts, Rootlet Adam and Evy, Ancient Seal Noevyh Sons". In room stood the strong scent a spirit and smoking stick. - Such was a pretty room! - was distressed News. - Go fast thence. I seem, is woke;waked we have fallen into den and presently anyone вылезет from beneath beds and dashes on us with knife. On platform they faced Belfridoy, risen on black stairway. She stopped and unfriendly took a look at them. - E-e... hm... good evening! - has said Niyl with guilty-идиотским type. Beside Belfridy was very black person with round щечками and always ready to smile lip, but presently it seemed stone, and spouses with disgrace retired in its sleeping. Niyl has mumbled: - She sound got angry that we spy for her. On-твоему that she will now do? Vylepit from wax of our scene and throws in fire? We, white people, not to understand these ниггеров, than they live, about than think. - Niyl, negroes do not love, when their name "ниггеры". - Ah you, gentlemen! That for fool touchiness! Not all is, as their name. I dialect: we notions have not, where Belfrida goes and than she concerns with - знахарствует, or колдует, or, can be, she consists in some negro left organization, which замышляет to deprive this house beside us. One only clear: the whole biological and psychological storehouse beside these negro not such, as beside white people, particularly beside us, the anglo-saxons (in me, truth, there is and french blood). Much sadly, but this so, and you will not deny that ниггеры... well, well, negroes - not such people, as I, or you, or Biddi. I itself laughed at soldier from южан, which this confirmed, but, probably, they even so rule;govern. Saw, what beside Belfridy were presently eye - well exactly as beside impounded beast! However, I complacent that beside us, on North, does not exist to discriminations, - and negroes and white children go in school together. Soon and our Biddi will too sit for school desk near by some swarthy карапузом. - Think that our small задаваке nothing from this does not, - an фыркнула News. - Certainly, certainly, in school so much for so, but here is agreed you that your daughter left married for negro? - Must say that while, in spite of her(its) dangerous age, I something do not notice tail black man admirer for her! - Well yes, well yes - but understand - you understand... Honored and naive Niylu was that harder formulate its standpoint on race question that he itself did not know, in than this standpoint is concluded. - I want to say that we here, on North, come from presentation that negro - such person, either as we, nothing not worse, and has such chances to become the UNITED STATES president. But, can be, this - an invalid presentation. In armies I got acquainted with one physician from Georgia, and he assured me - but to whom and know, as not him, he after all whole its life has lived amongst negro, and afterwards physician itself, scientist, - here is he me and spoke, is woke;waked is proved that beside negro volume brain less, than beside us, and cranial seams beside they облитерируются earlier so even though in school they first learn well, that much soon lags behind and afterwards already loaf whole life. So after all this and signifies the undermost race... The Devil, you understand, not in my nature anyone to hate. I never felt hate to итальянцам or to фрицам, but here is Belfridu I ненавижу. The Devil wench, she is constantly dared it is necessary me, beside me in house! The only thing thinks, as it were somewhat less work and little more выжать from us, and else on us sneer - that we pay her; no to try to prepare anything повкуснее, one care - as it were выговорить itself spare output evening, and always spies on us, and derides us, and digs against us malice, and hates us! The News has already rescued, but he all lay and thought: "But here is that lad negro, with which I was taught together with the first before the last class, - as his(its) called, Emerson Vulkeyp that? - after all always kept itself quietly, decently, but me even so unpleasant was see his(its) turn black physiognomy amongst our white девочек. Properly speaking, physiognomy beside it not even blackenning. He was not смуглее me; we and did not know that in him there is negro blood if we have not told. But even so when uzh know, so about person get accustomed to think, as about negro, and I litter, as I, could be, was irritated, when he вылезал onward and answered the questions, on which Dzhad or Eliot could not answer. Or these black soldiers-longshoremens in Italies - I nor one of them word has not said, but always in they were felt something not that, - and as they looked at us! Yes I nor one well-earned general has allowed look at me so, as these swarthy! Yes if we want to defend the achievements to our civilizations, needs hardness and endurance so that ниггеры knew its place. Though, am afraid, I not always manage to show hardness with this marmoset Belfridoy!" The Glorious young financier-warrior, legal legal successor шпагоглотателей Dyuma, philosophizing aristocrat Made someone look fat, valorous gentleman Kiplinga, ворочался in beds, not feelling emotional rest. 4 Newly they изведали предрождественский festive ascent, nearly forgotten completely for these years of the war. Their friends and peers else waged war in Europe or on Tihom ocean, and Niyl and News thought about them not less, than about Biddi, when were carried on city in quest of fir trees a little not for month before cristmas. They calculated that Belfrida, as good and dedicated member to families, will separate their christmas pleasures, and News with thrill has approached to her: - We with mister Kingsbladom have chosen the miraculous fir tree, today office boy her(its) will bring. While спрячем her(it) in garage. You will help us in device this small holiday, well? The Fir tree after all in the same way for you, either as for us. - Beside us building its fir tree will. - About, beside you on May-стрит too be the fir trees? - Yes, beside us on May-стрит be the fir trees! And families beside us on May-стрит too be! The News more was angry with itself, than on girl. Really, she talked with her so, is woke;waked holiday cristmas изобрели Father Pilgrims in Plymouth, together with Santa-Klausom and fir tree, but at the same time and winter solstice, and for persons of the african origin all this must be a pleasing novelty. She has mumbled: - Yes, certainly... I wanted - that is to say I did not want - I simply thought that you will pleasantly... Belfrida has carelessly objected: - No, thank you. I today go to walk with my young persons, - and then and there deleted, having left News and Niyla in full растерянности in the middle kitchens, which they so loved earlier while Belfrida has not transformed her(it) in someone else, вражеское den. - Fast уйдем thence! Here all пропахло her! - an вскипел Niyl. - Yes, me too unpleasant became to enter here. She so holds, as it is woke;waked I - вторгшийся the enemy, as it is woke;waked here is presently I загляну in refrigerator and check;test;audit;inspect;examine, purely beside it there. - You really there peek. And there really dirty. - What I not выношу, this expressions her(its) eye, when will ask her(its) do anything emergency. She all will do, but every time why-that waits that she will refuse, and as then be - banish her(it) or apologize? Ah you, gentlemen! Niyl has boasted: - Well, on me these glances anymore act, but what I not выношу, so this her(its) manners never вытряхивать all ashtrays. Seems, she under awe of the deaths and that although in one has left butt. The Honored word, she, probably, writes this itself, чтоб not to forget. - No, all nothing in contrast with this gloomy glance - exactly here is presently she выхватит the razor. - Seems, the best black specialists will return now preference to crowbar, - has said Niyl. - Oh, forgive;pardon, please. This is a rough funs. Poor fellow Belfrida - with morning before night on dirty dishes. Beside us simply develop негрофобия. But the following day, after dinner. Niyl once again забушевал: - It is Necessary even so anything do with our Topsi. Can be, really time her(its) fire. Such filth she else us never helms. Meat as sole, and afterwards I always considered that negroes - a master to prepare бататы, but Belfrida manages to add him taste of the steamed pumpkin. But pudding, in my opinion, beside us already fourth once this week. - Second. But I even so hope that tomorrow cajolery her(its) prepare anything other - after all beside us eat Havoki. Since I tolerate can not Kertisa, that is more so obliged to regale him(it) on glory. The next day Belfrida has really prepared something another. She simply did not appear. Kertis, son дюжего contractor Buna Havoka, was a misunderstanding with most infancy. see, Noisy gaiety father and крикливость full-grown as far back as cribs have shaved off him(it) with sense. This was sound small, not bad itself although and gloomy type, and beside he constantly водились the money, but he never fell flat - nor beside girl, whose love tried to buy, nor beside youth, which tried залучить in drinking companions. The wedding Kertisa took place At January 1942 with Nensi Pzort, дочерью of the simple truck farmer, and in the same month beside they were born дочка Peggi, but itself Kertis has run down in marine. Havok-father more boring was indignant on cause of the marriage of the, his(its), on some begger славянке, but when Kertis after wounding returned from army in rank of the corporal, he has made him nominal job title in Federal reserve banks "Blyu Oks" and has bought the young spouse a pretty turn white villa, крытую green tile, near by house Niyla. Biddi, in solidities their own four years, considered three-year Peggi Havok small, but this did not disturb him integer days to play together. Kertis was certain that Niyl, as congener on professions and former schoolmates, must his(its) love and with pleasure to listen to his(its) greasy tales about интрижках with bank stenographer. Take refuge from Kertisa was it is difficult. He вваливался in house in the most unexpected watch, from dawning before deep night, firmly reckonning for cup coffee, cocktail and grateful auditorium, and before that has bored Niylu and News that they particularly tried to be with him kind. Besides, they from showers felt sorry become poor Nensi Pzort Havok, careless child of the nature, затесавшееся in family banker-highwayman. In december evening, in issue, Kingsblady waited Havokov to dinner. The News pertained to this prospect with calm determination. She has gone on the market for dove, chestnut and mushroom and in morning of the test addressed to Belfride tone, what newly made captain addresses to worldly-wise oldster sergeant: - Belfrida, голубушка, I to the second morning meal of the building not shall, so you weld Biddi oatmeal. And try закатить for Havokov such dinner to beside them eye on forehead have climbed. Time beside you will be enough - a whole day. The Table cover the вышитой tablecloth and take the парадное silver. Belfrida has silently noded, and News has left in наилучшем frame of mind. Niyl was to return the bus; today, her(its) queue to use the machine, and she shown itself charming spectacle, when rolled in Lady club on morning meal with bridge. The Party in bridge she has won. From club she has gone with Dzhinni Timberleyn in Country region, where was found stylish mansion to judges Timberleyna. Dzhinni has bought new moleskin жакет, for the sake of which cost specially to go for a ride in such distance, and News has sat beside it before poles hours. She hoped that table beside Belfridy cover, but dove выпотрошены and that Biddi отнесется to загулявшей ma condescending. She hastily вбежала in house, which seemed incomprehensibly empty and calm. Nobody was not called back on her(its) "Au-beside!"; adown, upstairs, in kitchen nobody was not. The Dove in its natural view lay in refrigerator, but note wallowed on kitchen table, written by hand Belfridy - neat, standard handwriting: "My дедушка заболел, I have left to him. Biddi has conducted to grandmother Kingsblad, try to return at night. Belfrida". The News has pronounced one short, but more unusual in mouth of the lady word and was immediately taken act. She has rung the sister Niyla, Dzhoan that that has brought the child, then накинула worker robe and became to clean blue and prepare the sauce. When was Niyl, she has said only: - This blackenning потаскушка all threw and left before night. I always knew that she gunk. cover On table. Vyshituyu tablecloth and in general whole requisition. His(its) long веснушчатые finger operated nimble and handily, he fine managed with its deal and has yelled the News: - When I remain out of job, we shall be able two together to get a job in богатые building, cook and лакеем. - This and ends, probably if democrats and communists not перестанут wind up the income-tax. Kertis and Nensi Havok arrived with noise and shout without five seven. They were late around, but to drinks were always shown earlier time. Mellow Nensi concerned with the бататами in фритюре, but Kertis was caused underbide to cocktails that was fraught consequence, since his(its) излюбленный recipe included 90 percents of the genie, 5 percents of the vermouth and 5 percents whisky. When sowed;sown for table - not later than at twenty five minutes eighth, - Kertis already was in the most merry and боевом mood. - Today fire this swarthy reptile. I after all you always spoke: all are ниггеры bastard. Without кнута from them respects do not wait. The Devil, before what I not выношу this black tribe. There is beside me in Washington one familiar type, which all through know, so he speaks that congress is going to to restore the servitude. And it is correct will do. Eh, should like that I watch, as some swarthy professor linear again in field to collect the pat, but will become фордыбачиться, so will distribute on barrel and всыплют fifty hot! - And all you muddle, - was mellow entered his(its) zhena. - Quite not that he spoke, but simply that our заправилы in congress decided to send all black in Africa. Here is this sensibly, in my opinion. Kertis already was in sufficient degree to закричать on wife: - Ah you, полячка rotten, so I, signifies, tell lies? Niyl has straightened their own broad shoulder and already was going to to say: "Havok, замолчи-ka you better and mortar home", - but Nensi, польщенная so by ardent attention, заворковала: - Well that you, pretty that you, realy beautifully so speak! - And then and there заулыбалась the News: - a Truth, вышвырните you this мразь (that on normal human language meant: fire this negro woman). I shall recommend you girl - my great sister, Wool Pzort. She worked at plant Uorgeyta, her(its) have fired that she most small size has turned with master. But this has piqued aristocratic sensitivity Kertisa, and he has objected: - Enough with me your daddies-dung beetle, came short else, чтоб strumpet-sister will go in cooks to neighbour, yes else what - to зубодерову son! Niyl has revealled was a mouth, but News already hurried all on kitchen to wash the dishes, and добрососедские relations were fallen off, at least and the price of the plate, which has then and there split Kertis. Except between magic or grant of the clairvoyance helped Belfride so calculate time to fly in kitchen in that most minute, when Niyl вытирал last кастрюльку. - Good evening, - an прощебетала she, and Niylu was shown that herewith she подмигнула Kertisu. - Dedushka beside me заболел. So malapropos. Well, good night whole companies! If from it and plowed the genie - probably, plowed! - this nobody of them could not analyse. She has darted to itself, not having toilled even to get the cubes льда from refrigerator though there was absolutely clear that ice will be necessary if Kertisa will want to hold able full обалдения, as that required the хавоковские of the belief about hospitality - its and чужом. Niyl conducted her(its) expressive glance, but News forewarned him(it): - SHsh, shsh! Even so cue in than she helps me. - Yes after all she wants, чтоб we her(its) have fired! She itself obtains this! If b I have said the word, beside it was already stored up one hundred in answer. In vain we have deprived her(its) such pleasures. But this impudent glance - yes I simply break her(its) ready. - Well well, you uzh her(its) not touch before рождественских holiday, but afterwards I concern with this and подыщу another, - has promised the News. 5 Beside Niyla constantly was such feeling, is woke;waked Belfrida sometime beside, and from vicinity by this echidna small shade his(its) white-rose aryan greatness seemed artificially bloated. When he was shaved, he seemed that she cost(stand)s beside it for back and simpers. When he authoritative answered Biddi on her(its) questions or explained that боженька велел to us to visit the sunday school (before eighteen years inclusive), in ушах beside he stood the cunning chuckle Belfridy. And just now that he, sound saint bernard, has passed before her(its) mosquito nonentity, Belfrida вздумала actаas the поборницы race equality. In house already several years of the veins black кокер-spaniel, which give moniker "Nigger" - simply therefore that so usually name the black dogs. This was a tender dog with greater sad eye, the best friend Biddi - unless consider Belfridy. Shortly before cristmas, snow december at night, Niyl in the most best mood returned from bank home. The News has opened him door, but afterwards left on porch and was taken call: - Nigger, Nigger, here, Nig, here! The Dog arrived on the run and rave заплясала around Biddi, in excess feeling hardly not having shaved off her(it) with legs, but young parents admired on this scene. This was present household идиллия, длившаяся while Belfrida, blackenning rose impermissible beautiful in its impermissible short black gown, has not broken her(its) remark: - Before what you, is seen, despise us, negro! Nor reek hitherto they did not happen to to hear that negro of the race question concerned in talk; and voice News sounded in bewilderment and nearly plaintive, when she откликнулась: - As, why? - Cost(stand) and yell on the whole street: "Nigger, ниггер, ниггер!" - Golubushka, yes after all in the same way call the dog! The Common собачья moniker! - Here is and bad that you so dogs call. We, negroes, do not love the word "ниггер", and so much the worse if for you that negro that dog - don't care... Niyl ed: - Fine, please, we shall change the moniker! For you we on all ready! We Shall call пса "Prince"! But his(its) sarcasm not дошел; упоенная by missionary passion, Belfrida kind threw: "Here is and beautifully!" - and deleted, but Biddi, careless беленький moth, запрыгала and закричала: - Do Not want, чтоб changed the moniker! Nigger, Nigger, Nigger! Her(its) voiced голосок added this word such charming that correct parents could not remain from smile, and this was it is enough: small prima donna has felt that her(its) number is a success. Not listenning nothing, she was carried on all room with loud shout: "Nigger, Nigger!" - but spaniel влюбленно followed her, several bewildered this unexpected interest to his(its) name, but in general very complacent. The Office boy, which was with рождественскими buying, perfect арийца, Ticket has hurried to greet (to considerable his(its) annoyance) friendly: "Hello, mister Nigger!" - So not it is necessary to speak, деточка! - has said the News. Beside Biddi was rather amenable nature, but this requirement she exuded meaningless. - But why you and pope(pa) so speak? Why you Niggera have named Niggerom? - has reasonable asked she. - We too anymore shall. We have solved that, probably, this really bad slovo. - a Voice News sounded uzh very tender. - No, this good word! - has said Biddi with conviction. Has Peeked Robert Kingsblad, senior brother Niyla, in hope of costless drinks, and Biddi has met his(its) cheer: "Uncle Nigger came!" - Else that? - was amazed uncle Robert. But News прикрикнула: - Biddi! Siyu minute cease! But Biddi, взбудораженная by total attention, dispersed short of hysterics, as this can be - and always malapropos - even with the most good and sound детьми; she was rushed in kitchen, and in minute they have dread heard, as she окликнула Belfridu: - Hello, miss Nigger! In довершение miseries they have heard that Belfrida захохотала in answer. It Happened to to explain all brother Robertu, which was curious, as cat, and approximately is in the same way known how. He has then and there voiced its authoritative opinion of the Commercial Director Hlebopekarnoy Companies Osterud, Production of Bread Vitavim, Peerless Taste and Aroma, Guarantee of Health and Enjoyments: - You interest, what enter with negro to dispense with troubles? Can say you, what enter with negro to dispense with troubles. Our company does not know no troubles with negro, and us never happens to to fire them, - on that idle time to reason that we never their do not hire. Here you are the most best way to dispense with troubles. Understandable? But by the way, know, no wonder that Belfrida разобиделась, when you straight in eye have called her(its) "ниггером". - Yes we and did not think to call her(it), Bob. This we dog called Nigger, - has explained the News. - Well, from this not easier. The Fact that that девчонка разобиделась. Rather then hired you her(it), did not happen to her to take offence. Here is and difference is seen in so named innate mental ability beside white and black race. I, for instance, and has not thought take offence if who I have named "ниггер". Understandable? Your trouble in that that both you lost time in college instead of that to immediately concern with the deal, as I, for instance. The First rule - never hire the negro. Well, but will give me even so anything drink? Such a was a brother and uncle Robert Kingsblad, commercial director. Although Belfrida and laughed a little, when Biddi has named her(its) "miss Nigger", at dinner expression beside it once again was martyr's and insulted; but during dessert from kitchen suddenly донесся the active noise: giggled Belfrida, and her вторил глуховатый male voice. - A Gentlemen that there else such! Shall Go, налью to itself water, - has solved the News though straight before her(its) instrument stood the full glass. She carefully stole in kitchen. There beside bright metallic table stood in careless pose high negro years thirty five. The Skin beside it was darkenning, hairs curly, lips enough толстые, but but then nose fine, as blade. At look at he came on wit not cotton fields, but operetta, ипподром, merry patter of the dices. His(its) suit formed brightly-blue trousers, atheletic jacket in large hutch and tenderly-rose tie by butterfly. He had in well hands and strong shoulder of the boxer at the average weight; he was having dyed animal by beauty, a little even страшноватой, must be, from that glance, which he looked at News, - flippant and derisive glance, as beside person, знавшего all womans from Safo before queen Marie and seen them through. His(its) eye not only undressed the News; they intimated that secretly and against will her this must like. She mentally spoke itself: "it is Necessary so вырядиться, exactly clown in circus!" - and in ditto time vaguely felt sorry that her(its) positive Niyl not capable to put on such suit and remain the romantic attractive. Belfrida on-приятельски smiled her and заворковала: - Ah, mrs Kingsblad, this mister Borus Bagdoll. He is an owner of the night club "Bugi-Vugi" - a strange small town. We with him greater friends. He заехал to call on me. The Speech Borusa only trace returned сладковатым южнонегритянским accent: - I much heard of mrs Kingsblad. Big honour for me. Can I calculate that this not last time? "He in eye is dared it is necessary me!" - was terrified the News and, having mumbled some word, which hardly could bring in evidence her(its) intellectual superiority, headlong dashed from kitchen - without water. In table she, dare, looked at Niyla and has said low and nearly mellow: - Seems, me right before обхамили, and, seems, hero this сошло with hands. - Who? Kertis? - No, colour gentleman by name Borus or Virus Bagdoll, mister Bagdoll, yes, yes, mister, and ask this remembers. Borus and Belfrida! No, even so comedy with these negro! Though, however, why comedy? You will not believe, but I, seems, right before was awarded honor get acquainted with most обаятельным and dangerous scoundrel, what ever met. - Yes in than there deal? The Guest some in kitchen? - has patiently asked Niyl. - Oh, only, please, not to become like its brother Robertu! - But who this insolent person? Shall Go see itself. He went to kitchen, but News went behind, guessing, who - Niyl or Borus - will remain on field of the battle. But Borus to disappeared, disappeared and Belfrida, disappeared and bright red двухместный car, stood beside back крыльца; only from sink уныло peered немытая dishes. Mellow Kitti, sister Niyla, for three years his(its) senior, always was him closer all in family. She was be married Charles Seyvordom, more nice young lawyer, which one period occupied the job title of the public prosecutor in town court. In this evening Kitti and Charles came to Kingsbladam to concern with the main deal to its lifes - a game of bridge. Having Forgotten completely in священнодействии plays about terror of the home revolt, News much wondered, when has accidentally raised the head and has suddenly seen Belfridu, done by her signs from полутемного of the corridor. Behind loomed sardonic Borus Bagdoll. - Returned? What is wrong? - has angrily asked the News. - Ah, mrs Kingsblad, me much sting, but I must уйти from you. Quite уйти. Beside me building заболели. The Severe воительница has flashed up: - That is to say as - уйти quite, in such hour, not вымыв even dishes? Borus has inserted carelessly: - You may subtract with it полдоллара for невымытую dishes. Not only News, but also all rest with awkwardness have felt that Borus is dared on them. - Yes I udder, - an буркнула Belfrida. - No, you not вымоете! I ask you уйти thence immediately, sooner the better. Presently I расплачусь with vami. - a News прошествовала to its white written table and has impatiently revealled аккуратненькую expense knizhku. - For deduction that that you have took this month onward, you will be due to sixty three dollars sixty five cents. Ouch! Beside me not hvatit. - To player: - There is money beside anyone? By means of Niyla and Charles Seyvorda she наскребла sixty four dollars, but beside Belfridy was not sewn on delivery. - For even count let uzh will be sixty four, - an промурлыкал Borus. Niyl вскочил, воодушевленный romantic by impetus to expose bandit for door, but, having met at ease merry glance Borusa, has understood that exactly this Borus and obtains - for own amusement. - It is Correct. Let, for even count, - has said Niyl. - Whole good, Belfrida. Goodbye, mister - e-e - Bagdoll. He resolutely шагнул onward and has stretched Borusu hand, on behalf of small as if, but elected society. Has Followed the short competition in effect, - a steel grasp Borusa against fist Niyla, - afterwards Borus smiled. This smile so liked Niylu that passed полминуты, previously than he has recalled about its superiority of the white person and pronounce with underlined courtesy, which itself there is insult: - You, can be, sit in kitchen, mister Bagdoll while Belfrida will put their own belongings. - Yes, thank you, mister Kingsblad. Yes, I посижу in kitchen while... while miss Grey will put their own veschi. - And disappeared. The News observed for collection Belfridy, dare, returned in table. - Here is devils, even so they have disgraced us! - As so? - have asked all. - I was simply in delight that with Belfridoy is finished and she leaves. With me as if circuit свалились. And I have solved to suppress their its generosity - kind blanching mistress has forgiven and does not гневается. I thought, they will sit in machine calm, пристыженные (by the way, what machine beside it! We even and dream can not about such). Nothing like! They have rolled away, крича in all throat: "Forgive, expensive!" Since while Belfrida upstairs put the belongings, Borus has washed again whole dishes and the most neat image has taken away her(it) in closet yes has else left us in kitchen on table gift - quarter бутыль champaign! The Gentlemen, I hitherto and not видала champaign in quarter бутылях, realy on advertising announcements only. - But what man! - delighted has said Kitti Seyvord. - As built, never saw nothing like! - Yes, this man, - has absently mumbled the News. But Charles Seyvord, the most mellow from husbands, запротестовал: - You that, have forgotten that you white women(woman)s? Have Seen some кабатчика, organ grinder, panderer, gangster swarthy and have melted both. The Honored word, half of the America сошла with wit - a feminine half! 6 Now that News itself prepared the morning meals, they become much вкуснее, and always on table was an ashtray and matutinal issue "Banner фронтира". Now and then Niyl set off in dance in the middle kitchens, humming: "Again all this our!" Only Biddi and Prince with stubborness, characteristic детям and animal, longed for on Belfride, searched for her(it) on the whole house, reproachful looked at Niyla and News, asked though and without words: "That you have done with other?" The Week after News has taken the new servant - Wool Pzort, great sister Nensi Havok. Wool with enthusiasm prepared to separate all joys approaching cristmas; she pertained to хозяевам even теплее, than they wanted, and always called the News "золотко". This was typical therefor time "knick-knack": nearly virtuous making look younger person, tender and грациозная, as kitty, on light loved chewing gum and dance most of all. With approach december chill beside Niyla beginning to ache a little the wounded leg, and he all more often thought about war, about погибших comrade, about last year's melancholy cristmas on госпитальной to berth. The Englishwomans were careful and good, but he yearned about voice of the MIDWEST, about its full-grown, News and Biddi, about sister Kitti and Dzhoan. Now they all once again together; this will be first for three years cristmas in circle of the families. He thought about that, what has influenced the war upon it. Has Affected in general? When he lay in hospital, he was firmly certain that, having returned home, all young soldiers is united, once for ever забьют the вертящуюся door, on which is on the one hand written "republican party", but with other - "democratic party", and подадут its voice for fairness and prosperity and for that to anymore was a wars. But, having sat six weeks in bank and nothing for this time not having heard from banker, attorney and merchant, except predictions that this subject Ruzvelit in 1950 will become the dictator, he gradually ed to its former faith in незыблемость ambiguous numerals. But at the last days his(its) have begun to irritate the mocking talks about "жидах", which he often heard in tennis club, Federal and Silivan-park. He thought: "Probably, jew in the same way unpleasants moniker "жид", as my franc-canadian limit unpleasant was a nickname "лягушатники". I liked the young lieutenant Rozen, which подорвался on mine. There is much jews, who nothing does not differ from us, - probably, there is. It is Necessary me adopt the liberal glances while I else young, and afterwards uzh to hold their whole life to not to fall into rascals, when will already be elderly and толстым and the director of this bank - but can be, and the First National in Sent-Field". The Cogitations this he subjected for its table, under marble code of the operating common-room of the Second FEDERAL RESERVE BANK. All morning has left beside it on deal on small loan; interceded about them mainly demobilized, desired to open some trade, and Niyl tried to combine good will with caution. Untrue, is woke;waked any banker the only thing thinks, as it were ravage all small enterprises, belonging to frantic small человечкам with sick дочерьми on hand. Not so uzh easy to concern with the bank deal, when around you dominate the necessity. Before he lay the pile of the thin files with the most complex financial statements, but near by recollection about daydream of the military days these reports seemed strangely boring. He вздохнул, postponed the cigarette and sullen was mowned on graceful bronze tablet with inscription "N.KINSBLAD, Pom.Gl.The Accountant". When in 1935 he окончил Minnesotskiy university, he thought to concern with the study of medicine. But summer he has temporarily entered the office boy in the Second National, but afterwards so and has stuck under code this comfortable mausoleum; appeared the News, afterwards Biddi, and door was slammed, and he, inherently, did not feel sorry about this. He became to read the books on bank deal; his(its) have raised - have done the teller; he liked the клиенткам, admired by his(its) smile and redhead by head of hair VWXbe drafty lattice, which he did not notice. The Director John Uiliyams Pratt distinguished him(it) for zeal, добродушие and probity, and this year, on return from army, he was made in assistants main accountant. Mister Pratt considered that his(its) young serving be useful practised in all branch of the bank deal, and Niylu even now happened to to come off from "attraction contribution" and delicate negotiations with old client, превысившими its credit, and check the books, sign the cash cheques, take into account the funds, but that he did not lose the contact with depositor, Pratt each day forced his(its) hour-two sit beside окошка pay-desks. The Chief accountant, S.ESHIEL Denver, neighbour on Silivan-park, благоволил to him not less mister Pratta. In Grande-Ripablik numbered eight banks, from which the most large was a FEDERAL RESERVE BANK "Blyu Oks": Norton Trok - a director, Bun Havok - a chairman of the rule, Kertis Havok - started place. But mister Pratt considered this institution, either as двенадцатиэтажную tower, in which it fitted, crudely utilitarian. But then in Vtorom National (First did not exist) he saw the entailment true моргановских or тельсоновских tradition. His(its) two-story marble temple with massive bronze door, at the corner CHippeva-avenue and Sibli-стрит, had a no premiseses for leasing, and there did not nestle the разноплеменные masseurs and agents on selling the agricultural machines. In operating common-room, under church-solemn code, leaned;leanted on powerful pillars of the green italian marble, on boundless iron;press;pet black marble flap with вкрапленными in it square and ромбиками of the granite and rose quartz, in this храмине, where came short only religious songs accounting клира that довершить atmosphere благолепия and solvency, Niyl felt itself only modest служкою. Inherently, he was simply schoolboy for school desk abreast other such school desks. In spite of bronze tablet with name and onyx multifunction часы-чернильницу-календарь-барометр-термометр, table, for which he sat, was the most common, small, too low on his(its) growing, and as single personal treasure Niyla on he was sheltered photography News and Biddi in silver frame, tube and tobacco pouch with tobacco, томик "Elected detective tale" and letter from secretary of the Assotiations Former Classmate with request about payment of the installment. If there were beside Niyla special value then on the first place amongst they stood faithfulness friends. His(its) did not abandon the thought that majority from that ten or twelve young people, which he named their own "close friends", including Eliot, Dzhad and Sort, his(its) "bosom", will call on the рождественские holidays in someone else edge as before, being subjected to mortal danger. Eliot Hansen, dandy, passionate dancer, soul all evening party, has inherited from its modest norwegian daddy company "Freshness" - an Icecream and Milk Products; along all roads, guiding to Grande-Ripablik, possible was see on enormous shield her(its) allegory, pot of the honey and coins in one cent. Dzhad Brauler, thickset, circumspect, son Dunkana Braulera, the first vice-director enterprise Uorgeyta, before war the wholesale business by prune and cheap liver. The Decoration to this galleries was shown Native Oldvik. For five years senior Niyla, the charge Prinstona and law school in Harvard, but now well-earned warrior in rank of the major of the tank troopses, Sort Oldvik always was a the Present Gentleman, gallant Searcher of the Adventures. He played in polo, he splendid went on ski, he possessed the phenomenal visual memory, allowed him with one glance to remember the integer printed pages. He completely corresponded to english-prussian standard ideal hero: thick hairs, broad shoulder, fine waistline and six feets two inches growing. The Major Oldvik no way has entered in communication with woman on position below countesses or above горничной, but live he in timeses servitude, he, probably, засекал their own slave to death, but never exasperated their nag. Possible, there was expect that at one beautiful day his(its) will find the dead in beds, its or someone else, with dagger in bosom or with gone down awry лавровым vein on high white forehead. Niyl thought: be his(its) bosom friends here, possible speak to them about that, what he could not understand in most itself, for instance, about that, why him pleasantly to hate Belfridu. But then and there he must was itself to confess that all three usually evaded from conversation about more high subject, than drumsticks of their stenographers, from discussion more difficult that, than the policy to republican party. One only once in lifes beside Niyla was a friend, with which he could speak of awe, about любви, about the god, but this friendship lasted whole fortnight. This was a young captain Ellerton, with which Niyl got acquainted on transport, везшем them in Italy. They spoke whole day, the whole night. Ellerton was a constructor-mechanical engineer, loved Mocarta, YUdzhina O'NILA, Tuluz-Lotreka and Veblena, and Niylu quite did not seem tactless, when he asked: "You someday think about the personal immortality?" or: "But its News you love since you love, or from feeling of the debt?" Ellerton to perished from снайперской pools, after fourty two minutes after debarkation in Italies. Niyl at all could not recall that he has answered, when under сицилийскими star Tony Ellerton pensive has asked his(its): "But if you know that you is given one only life, not sting you greater her(its) part to return the service in bank?" 7 - Us will have a present cristmas, on all rule, - and hymns, and upset stomach the next day, and all, all. We Shall celebrate what follows since war in the coming year ends, and all our boys is returned home... and butters will become more, - exulted the News. Their fir tree was a high beauty with distant north болот, but when deal дошло before embellishment, News has declared that war really terrible thing since neither in Standard Prices, nor beside Tarra in "Emporiume" nothing it is impossible find, except silver ball and сосулек from colour glass. She bravely examined the lofts in house свекра and in old, изломанной to cartoon, quite as bonanza of the captain Kidda in box from beneath shoe, has found the toys, ed with good old timeses 1940: the greater silver star, silver-gilded angel, glass cherries, oranges and grape, hank tawdry "дождя" and merry small gypsum Santa-Klausa in red fur coat, with red nose and smoking tube in рту. She was home exactly walking рождественская shop window, and in the same evening fir tree on broad back Niyla has перекочевала from garage in гостиную, and News, Niyl, Biddi, Prince and Wool has made around it noisy dance. This year, queue Niyla to regale all tribe Kingsbladov рождественским dinner. So News, in passion raged feminine energy, prowlled on shop Tarra, having formed itself strict cost estimate - seven подарков on each ten dollars, and has made simply prodigy, having dug up beside Bozarda for full-grown Niyla triple thread nearly persisting pearl, the whole for eleven dollars. And to her else not even nearly present diamond pendant. Beside Tarra News "has cut off" and gift for Biddi: charming old-fashioned doll with linen hair and eye, as stars, look like Biddi, only потолще, and charming, wholly in the last style пулеметик, which at fortieth year of the twentieth age became the most suitabling gratis Hrista-infant for good small девочки. And then and there, beside Tarra, she has bought the Prince new dog-collar and rubber bone, Wool - вязаный scarf, but father Niyla - a tube rose tree, which good oldster afterwards untiring extolled and never used. As gift to themselves Niyl and News in christmas eve have put Biddi a little early and have gone to "Paynlend" dance. - Simply terribly that you tomorrow to come to feed all my hungry tribe, - has said Niyl. - Solnyshko, any, who ухитрился to fall into number your relative, - my friend before casket board. Even that your second cousin, beside which заправочная station in Gayavate, in Viskonsine. - But I but then much you love and shall ask the god, чтоб us else fifty once meet the cristmas together. - Pius for this! - an вскричала News, raising its liquor-glass with white Creme de Menthe, which in Grande-Ripablik is considered the most exquisite drink. The Drexel Grinsho, импозантный dark-skinned maitre dhotel "Fiezole", with подстриженными grey moustache, done his(its) look like haitian general french выучки, smiled, глядя on young gentlemen, who still so tenderly love each other. His(its) feudal soul bloomed from vicinity to captain Kingsbladu, future director Second National, and his(its) young wife, true lady, native дочери Energosveta Prairie. The Drexel thought: "Spoke after all I this дурочке Belfride: could not get along with such noble gentlemen, signifies, your blame. If people belongs to to good society, with them beside us, negro, never troubles will. And miscellaneous political agitator from colour, like Klema Brezenstara, I too always dialect that from them us, negro, more harm, than from the most cruel white master, - but they are dared it is necessary me, name me "uncle That"! The Begger riffraff these radicals - and nothing do not understand in aristocratic society. Beside me heart rejoices, when I help such gentleman, as captain Kingsblad since uzh this gentleman so gentleman". Such a thought amused itself venerable old conservative though seemed that attention his(its) is wholly absorbed napkin. When Niyl and West have got up, Drexel humbly conducted them before doors, sentencing: - For us always big honour to see you, captain, and you, мэм, in "Fizoli", hope, you get soon again us pleasure to serve you. The Drexel was is even insulted, when Niyl has answered his(its) delights dollar бумажкой, but controlled and has not shown the type. In midnight already from house Niyl has rung the parent and has congratulated them with approaching cristmas, but afterwards they concerned with the gift. News has searched sometime измятую wrapping paper, remained else from brought holiday, - a redden, silver, lemon-желтую; she has smoothed her(its) flatiron, and now heap разнокалиберных folding under fir tree looked is much dressed. - As beautifully! - exulted ona. - Nice my, expensive, here is already seventeen minutes, what has approached the cristmas, and you building, rather then on war, whole and unharmed, and all us love, and we shall be lucky whole life. They silently snuggled to one another. The next morning, at the first day cristmas, they else before morning meal came down in гостиную to analyse the gift - beautiful, calm, friendly pair, both in flannel robe with red sash; and Biddi, shining money box in white with blue халатике, and Wool, dark эскимоска, and Prince, who barked and rotated the волчком from delight, together with they were taken ворошить bosom package under fir tree. The News remained very complacent main its gift - a fur cape since she was an красивее, than beside Nensi Havok. On morning meal ated the waffleses by all house, including even Prince that uzh was absolutely spare; listened by radio рождественские hymns, but afterwards all dashed be dressed and finish the preparations to household triumph, appointed to two hours of the day. The Chapter to families was a father Niyla, doctor Kennet M.KINGSBLAD, deserved general respect in city by excellent quality their own зубопротезных work, their own reading from bible (for adult) under baptist церкви, mark by shooting on plate and brain-twister, which he deftly выпиливал fret saw from veneer. He was рыжеватый blond, high, skinny, good and halfhearted. The Mother Niyla, Feyt, small, frail, dark-haired woman, produced always such impression, is woke;waked she is somewhat afraid to lifes, is woke;waked bewilders, really these four tall sound people really her(its) children. But dark her(its) eye blazed such fire, as beside her(its) full-grown, ZHyuli Saksinar, capable, piquant француженки, which only бубна yes red pay came short for full resemblance with gypsy. The Eye Feyt as if veins by its life, from this calm vague essence apart, which never responded on that is going on around. The Following on старшинству went the brother Robert, commercial director of Bread Vitavim, with its wife Elis and three детьми, from which smaller, hack, was a girlfriend Biddi. But Elis was not only wife Roberta Kingsblada. She happened to the native sister Haroldu V.UITTIKU, champion-heavyweight to advertising poetry. For they followed the sister Niyla, Kitti Seyvord and her(its) Charles. But the most younger representative of this generation Kingsbladov was shown Dzhoan, which else vein in parental house. Dzhoan was ten years younger Niyla, enough pretty, rather clever, rather uninteresting. She thought that wants to leave in Chicago to study the art of modeling of the cloth, but in ditto time knew that wants to remain here and leave married, preferably for its bridegroom, pleasing young person, at the moment lieutenant of the military fleet. The Ithaca, all tribe was in collection - nine adult and six детей, not to count towards Wool and Prince, - and though talk went about Russia, as well as about chemotherapies, in house reigned atmosphere to farming kitchen not so already distant limit. The Younger women(woman)s interceded beside plates and covered on table (the honourable place was given crystal vase with punch), Niyl careful regaled the mans a cocktail, but beside heater in deep turn blue the easy chair an восседала Feyt Kingsblad and indefinitely smiled all. The Doctor Kennet has occupied the master's place at the head table, for which took seats all fifteen persons. (Happened to to substitute two card tables, but under starched by tablecloth this was invisibly.) He has lovingly looked over two rows sound, flowering people, rejoicing that, what they all beautiful and merry. Afterwards he has biased the head and high задушевным by voice has read the prayer: - A Father our celestial, in these full dangers days you уберег us and has saved, and here is we newly were going to together to celebrate the great holiday a cristmas your. Sohrani us all, gentlemen, and in approaching year and not leave its blessing детей my, bless them, gentlemen, bless them. Niylu was recalled last year's cristmas in госпитальной to chamber. The Glance his(its) slid on all this expensive persons, detained on wrinkled person father, and beside he has suddenly intercepted the breathing. - Uh you, integer two turkeys! - has respectfully yours whispered hack. After dinner children, the dogs and aunties разбрелись on room to sleep. Under evening house have honoured its visit a father News, Morton Bihaus, and his(its) brother Oliver. They have brought the gift, unnecessary вещицы from skin and from plastic under ivory. The Doctor Kennetu pleasantly was see, as his(its) son simply and at ease keeps itself with storied Bihausami. "Good lad boy, - rejoiced the doctor Kennet. - He will far go. Probably, time to denote him(it) in Secret". During peace household supper and afterwards, when played in genie-рамми and charades, he did not come down the eye with younger and, finally, found time minute, tender has said him: - A Young person, you, see, much well feel itself, enjoying in household circle, but all allow the oldster a father to lead away you in cabinet, speak of lifes. The Doctor Kennetu characteristic was sometimes rage the unexpected fantasy, and therefore Niyl rose for him on stairway with light feeling quizzical enxiety. 8 The Doctor Kennet M.KINGSBLAD ("M" was a first letter to surnames his(its) full-grown, plaids Dzhenni Makkeyl) its life way протрусил small good-natured slow trot. He was proud of that that once upon a time went to train together with former president Gerbertom Guverom, and that that has wound beside itself in cabinet new x-ray device, but each of his(its) четверых детей was for it don't care that gold(en) seal. He quickly got tired, too quickly for their own sixty years, and in heart beside he could be the fault, and he thought that, probably, in the coming year it is necessary him with mama to leave in Florida for March month, when in Minnesota начнутся snowstorms. His(its) pleased the thought that Niyl, minion of fortune, will become the financier and municipal figure and will realize the great reforms - a building of the new school buildings, building spare водохранилища, all that doctor Kennet itself dreamed to make, but could not, since dental practice, garden and brain-twisters did not leave him for this time. When they уселись in "cabinet" Niyla, knee concerning each other, and закурили a-one cigars appropriate only in рождественские days or on testimonial dinner of the governor, doctor Kennet, starting clubs of the smoke, began: - Wonderfully that you came to mind name its dog a Prince, my boy; after all there is special basis beside our families be interested prince. - Why, pope(pa)? - See, can be, so much for foolishnesses. I got accustomed about itself to name this Secret - you, probably, seems that I dialect riddle, but, understand, I itself in this not much faith, and from the whole family I only you one dared to tell since you one - a person with imagination and will not become to laugh it is necessary me. But even so there is one chance on ten thousand that whole history can turn out to be the truth, but if so, that, probably, Bihausam to come to be proud of the kinship with Kingsbladami, rather then on the contrary. - A Pope(pa), but in than consists this great secret? - See, my father, but else earlier father my father believed that in our vein flows the most authentic royal blood. - That is to say as? - But here is so. Much possible that we kings. Except funs. And not from some there french or german правителишек - different Lyudovikov, Ferdinandov and the like, but persisting highborn english to kings. You never seemed that Kingsblad - an unusual surname? Many this seems, and not in vain. On theories my father (believed he itself in it or no, honored word, do not know), nickname "Kingsblad" [King's blood (engl.) - a royal blood] was is at one time given limit in token that that in vein beside they flow the royal blood, - but signifies, and beside us with you too! Well that you on this will say? - I, probably, not so uzh this pleased, pope(pa). I more like to live in Grande-Ripablik, than in some old palace with draught. - About, in this I with you wholly agree. There beside them, probably, even steam heating no. But I seem, was pleasantly as before live here and concern with its deal and in ditto time to know that rightfully we, possible, legal english to kings. Your full-grown this has flattered, and Dzhoan, and News too, but someday and Biddi. Yes and your position in bank did not become worse if b mister Pratt has suddenly heard, what high person serves assistant main accountant beside it. If only this truth! According to this theories, leaves that I, rightfully direct inheritance, - a king to England, but you - a prince Welsh. That is to say, certainly, legal pretender on corona after me your brother, but think (if all this turned out to be the truth), that I asked Roberta to repudiate in твою profit. Well, where him really - a person, absolutely deprived imaginations, at all I can not obtain that he did not name my splendid collection an флоридских sinks "schlock"! So here is, history, signifies, such a. That is to say so me her(its) told my father Uiliyam, from which, possible, not god news what left king, but farmer and horsetrader he was famous on the whole county Blyu-Ers. He about this heard from its father, Deniela Kingsblada, that that waged war in Civil war, but Denielu told his(its) father, Henry Aragon Kingsblad, which was born in England in county Kent in 1797 and emigrated in New-Jersey, having ed in prison that on some fair (or that beside they there could be in England in that timeses?) in всеуслышание has declared itself legal государем Great britain and Ireland and all Overseas Kingdom - so, seems? He is woke;waked was to reign under name of the king Genriha Ninth. That zh, he after all was born in England, can, he and really knew - can, this truth! As you think? - Yes, this in general interesting, but we after all don't care nothing could not prove even though this truth. - Here is, here is, in that-that and deal. I have noticed that you now much more read since leg does not give you to concern with the sport. And I have solved: can, for you will be an amusement to check this. I even so wanted to hear the truth, previously than I закрою of the eye. Certainly, written proof us have no no. I was going to itself concern with check, yes all no time - here and deal, and home cares, and miscellaneous, after all beside us, beside дантистов, minute free no, particularly presently, when so much врачей has left in army, but people absolutely do not want be considered since your receiving hour and require to their took, when they вздумается, particularly all these young lazyboneses, who arrive on vacation home. give Him only will, they замучают you before death, but as on count to pay, so in bushes, and in general, so I and did not be going to. But, as far as i know, deal is approximately as follows. This most Henry Aragon Kingsblad confirmed that he derives from Genriha Eighth and Catherine Aragonskoy, which, became to be, was shown by legal legal successor of the throne. But when Genrih was angry with Catherine and порешил banish her(its) halitosis, he has hidden existence of this - his(its) name as it is woke;waked was Dzhulian, prince Dzhulian, but good крестьяне, which his(its) have grown and воспитали, called his(its) Dzhulian Kingsblad that is to say Dzhulian Royal Shelters. Thence and our surname. Certainly if he was a son of the Catherine Aragonskoy, signifies, in us there is and spanish blood, but this me not much-that likes - I always was proud that we net english-scottish sort: my mother, bear in mind, happened to distant native Bryusu and Uollesu and else different знаменитым scottish полководцам - here uzh without any doubts! But even so if пораздумать, so beside this Catherine of the parents were Ferdinand and Izabella, that most, which have ordered Columbus to go and open America, and, signifies, she on its origin not worse englishwomans, well but our redhead hairs, my and твои, show that finally spanish blood we have not damaged. Here is and the whole history. Can be, in her no nor word of the truth, - but even so you do not try realize, my boy? He had such imploring glance. Niyl much loved its meek father; he has promised: - Shall Do that can, pope(pa). - Shall is much thanked you. The Main, litter that here no nothing impossible. There was one such person west, in Aliberte that, or in Uayominge, - spoke, he mormon, but I not faith though who his(its) knows, - and suddenly turned out to be that he the most present earl from some владетельного of the sort, - but after all was an idle time cattle breeder! Here is see. - Anyway, занятно will hear, - agreed Niyl. - And know, funs fun, but when Biddi stood under fir tree in gilt to corona, she, truth, was looks like small queen. Well, take for this deal. And at January of the new year he for he red. 9 He not once happened to to read about pretender on titles and the land, and he had no doubt that conjectures his(its) father - a most net whim. But they amused his(its) its flippant naivete, and, besides, him it is necessary was a new occupation. Because of leg he could not neither go on ski, nor steal on snowdrift, hunting on rabbit so single available him sports remained the sail in pool of the Federal club. He before death has bored to play in bridge, solve the crosswords, read without analysis of the journey, biographies and spiritual mildew of the war - a novels, in which распутницы of the timeses Elizavety provide in delight millions venerable readers, making action, undoubtedly damnable for young town girl Elizabeth, staff New-Jersey. His(its) pleased that he will exactly be an english by king. In England he hardly at all did not see, except piers, train and old-time lock, where fitted the hospital, but to careful, weary englishwoman, who for he looked after, became attached, as to native. Recoverring, he integer by days watched from window of its chamber on stone church with toothed башней, the whole in interweaved string заиндевелого ivy, and saw, as through her(its) стрельчатые door enter and leave Tess and Dzhud, small Nell and Lorgnette Dun, as well as Dzh.G.RIDER and sir Henry Baskervili. Nor one building in Grande-Ripablik - even remainder бревенчатого fort of the timeses of the Civil war, which now was rearranged in garage for taxi, - did not inspire him such delights непреходящим courage of the person. He much яснее, than father, visualized that occur if before london newspapers will reach the information, is woke;waked some american, bank employee, has solved to become the king to England. But all if there is although one chance on a million that this truth... Why does not порыться in book on histories and not to realize, is Secret his(its) father by absurdity on one hundred or only on ninety nine percents? Biddi liked tell all that she royal дочка. As judged by powerful замашкам of this maiden, with it to become to collect around itself neighbor's ребятишек and пропищать: "Allow you to approach to our royal person". He was recalled paper corona, which she carried so proudly although and little twist;controt. In kitchen, sipping cocktail, he has told whole history a News. The Sunday winter day leaned;leant on to evening. They наелись at dinner turkeys, napped, listened by radio philharmonic orchestra, have studied the pages of the sport and modes in sunday number "Banner фронтира". On verandah Biddi, her(its) great sister hack and Peggi Havok with fascination доламывали рождественские gift. As true питомицы to anglo-saxon civilization on her(its) last stage, they shot up from machine gun redhead plush puppy with sad eye and doll with beaten off by nose and in glass necklace. - So here is what be to kings! - an фыркнула Vestl. - Your father - blow, the second such screwy daydreamer in all city not to find. No, what charming! think If we shall someday save up the money, - that under present prices on meat unlikely, - will possible go on get old native land and look at our palace, but afterwards fast home, where people speak on human language. But allow to say you, captain that I you did not become to love more, be you not that english by king, but sovereign master itself ордена Mooses. But in general, bet держу that no queen in the world not game of genie-рамми better me. We Go to boys. On verandah she has found in bosom of christmas schlock corona Biddi and, solemnly having entrusted her(it) on head Niylu, has corrected on him, as new hat, but afterwards addressed to shining little one: - Well, мелюзга, speak, who this? - A King! - an завизжали they in chorus. The News has done him low curtsy. - You very foolish, - has said Biddi. In embraced by war world, where so much are reaped become widow and so much детей never saw their own father, Biddi was proud of that that she has undoubted and palpable pope(pa). - But should like that you that I was взаправдашним king? - has asked her(its) Niyl. Biddi came to delight. - You, probably, was very good king, and you has took leave in cinema! An output evening was Beside Wool. Preparing by means of Niyla supper, News speculated aloud: - I all try вообразить you king, but nothing do not leave. Too uzh clear that you - exactly you: one-hundred-percent normal white scottish-english american with MIDWEST - a good protester, business, succeeding, adoring golf and own wife. No way believe that you could be than-that others although you me bring certificate signed general Eisenhower. The Boy wants to be a king and live in luxurious palace? So here is, will be a king in my heart. - Can, and, except you, are found охотницы to have me king in its heart? - Ah so? Well that zh, beautifully. Wake good, your majesty, нарежьте the potatoes a slice as possible fine! He as well as did not r for genealogical prospecting if father two times has not reminded him: "Well that, concern with our limit?" And somehow at saturday, when News after dinner has withdrewed the machine and has rolled away to play in bridge, he has suddenly solved: "But why not to try? The Golf and tennis anymore will amass me laurel, so although прослыву good historian. Why not to try?" He passed in its "cabinet" and уселся for table - a scientist husband, absolutely devoted one idea; the purpose to his(its) lifes clear to him, and begin great works as one should, but for back beside it in благоговейном silence cost(stand) the News, and Sort Oldvik, and mister Pratt, and that professor that read beside them in university history Europe. One only his(its) upset: here is he has proceed with its study, but as, strictly, hereto proceed? Slowly and pensive he has dribbled the eye a room. From all his(its) books could be useful realy that "History to England for детей" Dikkensa, "Worldwide almanac" yes четырехтомная "Universal encyclopedia yankee". He has courageously revealled the encyclopedia on article "Catherine Aragonskaya". The Information about she was reduced to that that she was a wife Genriha VIII that beside it was a daughter and was not an and that happened to to donate the True Church to from it to finish. "Well, once beside it was not an, signifies, her(its) son could not be ancestor. No, something not that". "History to England for детей" too did not help him. As, damn it, r for these most studies? Probably, it is necessary for beginning to address to some knowing person. But to to whom? In university professor to histories never expressed the desires to correspond with tennis player. Can, there is such governmental official, which gives the references about that, what install the history facts? And as surname of this author that so sound knows the history and writes huge толстые books - on five dollars for that? As these scientist докалываются before any details about folk, which already very long ago on light no? In university he did not supply the person of the respect to teacher, he their was somewhat afraid and considered that they the only thing think about that, as it were caught the student, which on the eve saws beer instead of that to concern with. "But probably, work beside them not such uzh light. Well as, for instance, they will hear that wanted to say SHekspir in so-and-so line, when he, can be, and wrote-that her(its) smithereens drunk and itself could not explain? Probably, I while there was student, much what has missed. Come now to make up for". To honor Niyla Kingsblada it is necessary to say that difficulty of the problem never scared away him(it). Having Made sure that searches his(its) regal limit will require the effort, he red for deal in earnest. He, limping slightly, добежал before bus stop, сошел beside book commissary Rity Kamber and has bought "History to England" Treveliyana. In букинистическом division he has seen two treasures, before which has not stood firm although and did not think that they can particularly him to be useful: memoirs lady Montressor "At courtyard, in march and in generic homestead of our beautiful island" - two volumes in white коленкоровых cover with heraldic embossing, richly illustrated and nearly gratis - a price снижена since 22.50 before 4.67; and "Review documentary material about пожаловании ленными manor under Genrihe VIII" - a thesis д-ра философии Dzh.Gumbolidta Spera, the price when publishing two with half of the dollar, now - fifteen cents. The Books have rather delayed him hand while he dragged them to bus, and he in bewilderment thought: "Really I their someday одолею?" He outlived the first sorrowful doubts on its academic ways. Else he has bought "Hockey as art" Sendi Gofa and this book has really read before the end first. Having Heard that studies began, father порылся in old coffer and gave Niylu собственноручное letter Deniela Kingsblada, farmer and carpenter, participant of the Civil war, that most Henry Aragona, which happened to to leave to England. Niyl so and впился in letter. "August 7-go day, 1864. Expensive my wife! R for feather to report you that I while здоров, what and you with son want. We cost(stand) sometime in Virginii or in Carolina, faithfully do not know, but sergeant does not speak. Dovolistvie very evil, but complain does not happen to, whomever it is necessary to wage war, only at fourty years of the person not place on this war, be she accursed. The Officers - one worse other, much nose задирают, but a little cheese, rheumatism plays. Do Not like me these mountains, know; aware лазай upwards and downwards, that deal our farm in Michigan although there and Wild West. The News while no no, yesterday on camp was an attack, but not much irritating, sooner whole серопузым war in the same way not on shower, either as us. Remain in good health, what and you want. More write no time, loving you husband Deniel R.KINGSBLAD". The Doctor Kennet, nervously stirring midair finger, convinced the: - An Amazing letter, but? So and see the old soldier, honored word! There were patriots in that time! Never murmured - all ready were вытерпеть for saving of the native land. The Amazing letter! Some historian, probably, dearly has paid to look at this letter, but I his(its) even afar nobody will not show, and you see not show if anyone пронюхает and will ask. Well, this you воодушевит, truth? - D-da, pope(pa), certainly. - Here is, but now I have a surprise for you. I, seems, know the place, where there is a great deal ensemble letters, and not only my father and oldster Deniela, but can, and most Henry Aragona! Interesting, but? My cousin Ebbi Kayfers, that that in Miluoki to be married the merchant an скобяными product, she always loved to collect and keep the old papers, and I already she has written. After all this for you simply bonanza, faithfully? - Yes, this splendid, - has mumbled Niyl. - a Firsthands. They, seems, нужнее whole for scientific prospecting. The Cousin Ebbi has sent the letter Uiliyama, Deniela and Henry Aragona Kingsbladov, and Niyl pounced upon them, as cat on валерьянку. He much what has learned;learnted of the prices on wheat in 1852, about прожорливости pig in 1876 and about health of the whole gallery Emm, Abigayley and Lyusi, but all this threw strangely little lights on question about royal origin. Even in letter Henry Aragona, written from New-Jersey between 1826 and 1857, was met whole one phrase, for which possible was grasp: "Zdeshnie inhabitants all can not solve, what governor they more approach - a fool or scoundrel, and be I king this скудоумной country, I their all велел hang". Niyl with sadness has concluded that ancestor his(its) father were a people working, трезвые and boring and that if him fated докопаться before hypothetical of the Catherine Aragonskoy, probably, will turn out to be that that благочестивым became on old age of the years by gravedigger. He вздохнул. "I and did not expect that I shall manage to produce us in kings. Simply promised to pope(pa), - well, and has worked. Better, probably, throw this deal and think about Biddi and about future, rather then about some highness and majesty. Well them to devil". But in he already awoke the interest to household history, and now he has solved покопаться in unite with maternal sides - suddenly there find anything повеселее? He hardly at all did not be aware of this branch of the families though at student years often visitted its grandmother ZHyuli Saksinar, which and now else was live. His(its) mother and grandmother ZHyuli never particularly did not get on, and Niyl already five years did not see the old woman, but he remembered her(its) - small, сердитая aging француженка with burning eye, whose childhood passed on worrisome border in staff Viskonsin. Somehow at night, calling at visit the parents, he has scattered the fishing rod: - I here read about папиной family, ma, but твои ancestor who were? They sat in темноватой, sulphur-brown гостиной of the dilapidated father building, where air seemed спертым and was closely from antediluvian agency and chair under ebony with carved dragon on back. Feyt Kingsblad was a small growing, frail and uncommonly calm. She nearly always kept quiet and, seemed, all waited and feared what-that. The Eye she had quite black, but person pale, with faded rose lip. In Niyla she believed and valued him(it), never gave him advice and feeling their own expressed realy that that легонько patted him(it) on hand. She was conceived, as if recalling something pleasing, but tarnished from time. - I itself much little am aware of its family. My ancestor on the part of father, Saksinary, were approximately such, either as beside your father: выходцы from England and Scotlands, workers-farmers and small salesmen. А about full-grown know only that her(its) ancestor were a frenchman and olden days as it is woke;waked traded the fur in Canada. But hardly these pioneers some record about its lifes. In the childhood I have somehow asked about them ma, but she only burst out laughing and said: "Beside, this was a terrible people - they all went on boat yes drank too much. The Good девочке about them and listen uninteresting". You after all know, ma - a strange woman. I seem, her(its) always irritated that in me so much from Saksinarov that I clean-cut and love the order. Wonderfully, truth? She fell silent, once again frozen in expectation of, and Niyl has thought that this hunt for limit - a decent foolishness. In such big вселенной, as Grande-Ripablik, where lives beside one hundred thousand people, fits much unbeknownst to each other world. Amongst them one of the most alien for Niyla was a delirious world of the music - a teacher, giving lessons of the violin in парадных гостиных monotonous краснокирпичных of the houses; the девочки, training play on saxophone; The Society of the amateurs of the symphonic music, which once a year managed залучить in city Dulutskiy orchestra. In that year orchestra together with finnish choral choir emerged in Uorgreyv-hall at the end of the January. Alongside with such unexceptional people, as Niyl and News, on concerto were present the pillars of the city: Uebb and Luiza Uorgeyt, doctor Henry Sparrok, Medzh Dedrik with дочерью, Osier CHamperis, Oliver and Morton Bihausy, Greg and Dayanta Gauze, judge Kess Timberleyn with супругой, frail, nervious woman. Came even Bun and Kuini Havoki - both tipsy since only in such condition beside they were enough power to enjoy the music. (Were present also though and were not a noted reporter mundane chronically ill persons "Banner фронтира", some people, really loved music.) Niyl haved fun the thought, as all of these were unscrewed from bandstand and condescending dignified Hannikaynena and воззрились on it, Niyla if have heard that he августейшая person... Drolly, there was get into bus in corona and ermine and make in Vtorom National royal acceptance. He has forgotten completely about this tinsel, when orchestra and chorus met in powerful play-off of the Ninth symphony Bethovena. He carry away in never him not visible edge. Zateylivye ponds and lawns, shaded oak, away the glance to colonnade of the enormous building with window, wound around stone festoon. Behind got up поросшая heather mountain, but on top her(its) - a tower, old-time, dilapidated. And is woke;waked all this belonged to him. "That this, прапамять? - guessed on. - Can be, at one time all this владел my пра-пра-someone, which now lives in me? Can, I really could be a king? Or duke? Well, are reconciled on baron!" 10 He much was proud of that that his(its) innovation in bank practical person has met approval mister Pratta and main of the accountant S.ESHIELA Denver. He has offered to organize the Consultation for veteran, where his(its) former comrade in arms, demobilized from army, could come for advice about подыскания work and hiring the apartment, about pension or scholarship, but at the same time could open the count in Vtorom National or take the reliable mortage. Manage the Consultation was entrusted Niylu, he has raised the salary before 350 dollars at month and promised if deal will go, give the assistant. Has Already approached the north April - not springtime, but same winter, only пожиже, - and Niyl, persuaded that war in Germany ends through several months, hurried with preparing the premises for Consultation, powerfully reminded stable a mahogany; there already was водворен tables most Niyla, as well as two soft easy chairs and vastly more soft sofa for receiving the heroes. The Whole day he was busy, but the whole evening jabberred about their own deal. The News rejoiced his(its) success and increasing, but Biddi has founded the own bank, in the first day accepted contribution to type poles stickpins from hack, дочки to uncles Roberta, and bitten into zwieback from Prince. However, this bank has existed not long since hack, which was far before financial principle of mister Pratta, instead of their own poles of the stickpins выпросила back eleven, and Biddi, посовещавшись with дядей Oliverom Bihausom, has declared itself bankrupt. Mister Pratt spoke of prospect of the Consultations with caution, Niylu possibility her(its) introduced unlimited, and at the end of the April he has left in Sent-Sex and Minneapolis for negotiations with banker, governmental official of the staff and leader of the American legion and the other organization, uniting veteran. On rights of the financial expert he went to пульмановском coach "Borap". Zavzyatym travellier from Duluta and Grande-Ripablik "Borap" already much years served the house on wheel. He was so age that habitue confirmed, is woke;waked he is built not from steels, but from tree, solidified from winter snowstorms and july ardent heat to prairies, where heat reaches fifty degrees. Inwardly wall his(its) were wrought by wooden mosaic olive-green, rose and sulphur tone. The Plan his(its) differed the pleasing asymmetry so even after долголетнего acquaintance with him possible was suddenly open the door and find one more, not visible дотоле coupe with card table and four antediluvian easy chairs, dwelted by prickly green cretonne. In coach "Borap" senior mister Sparrok - Hayrem Sparrok, father of the doctor Henry, - which at ninety four years not yet moderate;temper though somewhat and deleted from deals, - keeps its spare kit from five sorts pill, three sorts agitating drop and two вставных of the jaws, as well as scallop and stick бриллиантина. This mellow old bandit, close знавший John D.ROKFELLERA-STARSHEGO and Sesilya Rodsa although and has sent the most to its property son, hitherto has nigh only полмиллиона hectare of the land in United Staff, but his(its) holdings in Mexico are measured not mile, but year hour. In Grande-Ripablik consider that Hayrem rich man and Uorgeytov and Eyzengercev, but itself he always interprets about its poverty and never gives the negro a Poppy - a conductor "Borapa" - more twenty five cents on tea. His(its) son doctor Henry Sparrok keeps in coach "Borap" brochure Chastised Marksa in publishing "Modern library", which he already five years what is going to to read in secret to hope to understand, "what want all these left congressmans and red worker leaders", but invitation on party in bridge distracts his(its) every time, as he will get to the second page. And in same "Borape" Medzh Dedrik keeps the log an пасьянсных cards with its monogram, Oliver Bihaus - a collection crossword, but Dayanta Gauze - a book on psychoanalysis, book about rule of the etiquette and bottle cognac. The Conductor Poppy - very thick, very black, friendly on call of duty: he soon knocks seventy, and he knows their all. Under his(its) care leave in college of the girl, whose parent he was a servant during their wedding journey, and he names their "miss" though remembers small Tuts and Key. He finds him lost hand-bags and boxes of the sweetmeats and tries to insure them from too quick acquaintance with beautiful travelling companion. He known, whose husband bid farewell with whose wife on one end of the driving and whose husband meet and kiss these are reaped on the other. The Poppy - Gotskiy almanac, chambermaid-lackey, vested in trousers chaperone whole youth Duluta, Grande-Ripablik and the other city on lines Dulut - Sent-Sex; if Poppy will not hear you, this where опаснее for your position in society, than if doctor Sparrok will not shake you hand or mrs Dedrik will do the type that new to you; name his(its) "George" instead of "Poppy" signifies to expose itself the most full barbarian; the surnames he has no, at least once Niyl and people of his(its) circle in this certain. At type Niyla he broke into a smile: - A Favours ask to us, captain Kingsblad, sir. Afford to hope that your wounding already not so you disturb, sir? - Yes, thank you, Poppy, leg much better. "Even so in flattering terms that Poppy I remember. Not to forget to give him twenty five cents on tea". - Want to examine миннеаполисскую newspaper, captain? - Let's, Poppy, thank you. "No, twenty five little. Here is old negro, which knows its place. Why some девчонка like Belfridy can not keep itself in the same way decently? Simply shame on you give him fifty or even seventy five cents! Additionally so much for is is included in road expenses". At the end of the way, when Poppy brushed off with it last imaginative speck and said tender: "Hope, you will render us honour and back go with us, captain?" - Niyl majestic has stretched him dollar. The station was Shown. In its branch old Hayrem Sparrok grumbled on Poppy: - Well, you, descendant Makiavelli, but me you do not ask to render you honour to go back in your coach? - No, sir. With you too much хлопот, general, yes else these your pills! - Ah you, uncle That wretch! Ah you, aging blackenning kept woman, all money вынюхиваешь? Here is you quarter, and say thank you. - As not thank you, general. The Money considerable, but for that? I whole the only thing did that looked at you. Usually you more fifteen cents do not give. Again ingenious gamble on exchange, general? - Not your собачье deal. You for how much newspapers spy, but? - For all, how much there is, general. Before fast свиданья. Both have kept silent about that that each year on cristmas old Hayrem gave the old Poppy fifty dollars. Two relics of the epoch земельно-iron-timber feudalism 900-h years were changed smile, but young Niyl Kingsblad with approval взирал on this familiar, заигранный show. 11 Niyl supposed that reason of the cooling between his(its) mother and her(its) parent was a habit of the grandmother ZHyuli Saksinar to command all, who turned out to be it is enough close to hear her(its) vigorous кудахтанье. The Open quarrel between them was not, but formed in family chilly relations disturbed Niylu closer to get acquainted with grandparent and old woman. However during its four-day business trip in Minneapolis he has chosen the free evening and left on lake Minnetonka to visit the oldster. At sixty five years (presently him was eighty five), having deleted on quietness after long service in telephone company, Edgar Saksinar has bought itself very not bad one-story lodge. He is exceed has described him(it) in one of their own letters: "We were settled in stone bungalow ashore romantic water lake Minnetonka, with beautiful type. Not a single such big city, as Minneapolis, is not located so close to such big and beautiful lake, as Minnetonka. We with mrs Saksinar often talk about romantic индейцах, which no time sailled in their own canoe on this romantic water". The House, inherently, was built not from stone, but from concrete captive under stone, and view from windows was opened not on glorified by its beauty enormous lake, from which his(its) separated three quarters, but the whole only on standard восьмиквартирный house, chapel Adventistov seventh day yes small circle of the poplars. But for two oldsters, with morning before night enjoying quarrel, this was suitable and comfortable жилище, and Niyl with pleasure уселся in wanted plush easy chair in small гостиной, оклеенной желтыми обоями with drawing from камышей and water lily. He has heartily eaten in calve "Suonson-Grande", but grandmother ZHyuli has oppressively away him(it) in kitchen and before mouldboard has the chocolate liver with nut. Her(its) kitchen nowhere near was not glass-enamel miraculously from that, what are advertised in journal. She cooked on well-earned, not too zealous polished lash, which sank;sunk the углем, their own spares kept in blue whacked teapot and жестянках from liver, but plates and cups bought in shop of the second-hand things, where for them was a most suitabling place. Niyl has recalled that his(its) mother and дедушка Edgar always were proud of its neatness while merry small bird ZHyuli was disorder, as gypsy. But he has noticed that in this chaos bit dishes grandmother ZHyuli with lightness finds all that her it is necessary then mother and grandparent, felt it the duty to put each chair on beforehand determined him place and методично distribute on ящичкам of the address, letter, count from прачечной and old, but else ready to use lace for shoe, constantly forgot, where that lies. They returned in гостиную, and Niyl, as respectful grandson, has entered in conversation with коренастым, bald, merry, querulous yankee - an дедушкой Edgar. He has in good faith questioned, what opinions Edgar about income-taxes, about baseball command, played for Minneapolis in expired season, and about telephone sets new sample. (On all this Edgar was a low opinion.) But afterwards Niyl concerned that single subject, which really occupied him(it). - A Grandmother ZHyuli, I here after one talk their own limit ed with pope(pa). Tell me about your family and about дедушкиной. Small, funny old woman - eighty three years if believe the calendar, fourty three if judge on her(its) smooth, graceful neck and alive eye, not requiring spectacles, - a mixture of the gypsy and irish fairy, persisted on пуританстве New England, - settling down with its вязаньем in old reedy rocking chair, always taken out from patience of her(its) husband, who sat then and there, round-faced and краснощекий, in old-fashioned pince-nez with semicircular glass, smoked the long cigar and вторил to her mistrustful сопеньем, - a grandmother ZHyuli clucked, as hen, снесшая egg: - Your дедушка Saksinar - here is this block that smokes us in nose, - was born in Viskonsine, worked the accountant on sawmill, afterwards served in Miluoki accountant and telegrapher CHikagskoy companies, but already has afterwards entered on telephone. And родичи his(its) - that, which he knew, - were a people as people, сыровары yes small-minded salesmen, all glorious, foolish folk. Edgar брызнул saliva, as tiny whale: - Uzh will you! Saksinary - a strong sort, and with father sides beside Niyla such kinsfolk. My ancestor, thanksgiving god, nearly all before united were a good просвитерианами and member to republican party. ZHyuli has giggled: - Here is and I dialect. Glorious, foolish folk. But my ancestor - that were a frenchmans. The Women(woman)s went all in small bow, but men their uncorded. Niyl has tried подольститься to her: - But know, grandmother, in armies I heard that frenchmans quite not such lightheaded, what their express the humorous journals. This the most industrious крестьяне in the whole Europe and the прижимистые salesmen. - Can, there is and such frenchmans. But my-that ancestor were a fidgety persons, they have skipped away from Europe since Europe was uzh painfully quiet, and were settled in Quebec, but afterwards and have from there skipped away since there all were painfully pious, but they loved the strong blame and with smyrna by people not at all водились, - him give wolf, yes lynx, yes индейцев! Vperiv imaginative взор in its tempestuous adolescence, she recalled aloud: - I too was born in Viskonsine, in Gayavate, - oh and glib this was a place, - and danced with woodsman with плотовщиками yes, much I was light on leg, but they went in red hat. Edgar буркнул: - Well and patchwork, but? - That zh, and was a patchwork, yes such, in what you age not to understand. You, Saksinary, read their own "Sunday texts for small христиан", else when in America wood chopped down and veins in cardboard хибарках. But my ancestor... My father, Alexander Pezo, moderate;temper, when me was ten years, and ma too, - then was an epidemic of the pox. Niyl has thought, as it were отнеслась to such racy timber past News, descendant first emigre from Dorsetshira, but ZHyuli all cackled, tapping spoke: - Yes, Alexander Pezo. I his(its) not much well litter, only litter that he was high, statuesque, with huge black beard - always tickling was, when he поцелует, - and canto loved to sing. He carried the mail, and in wood one time worked, and was a coachman on the first stagecoach; although on-english he spoke well, this I litter, but on horses always plow on-french. When he and ma has died, me was whole ten years, and I have taken to itself mother's brother, uncle Emili Ober. He traded the fur. About father family, about Pezo, he spoke little. But I know that папин father, Lui Pezo, was and farmer and huntsman and worked in copper mine on Upper lake, but married he on girl, which called Sidoni Peak, but her(its) father was Ksavie Peak, - here is and consider;think;count: Ksavie, signifies, was your пра-пра-great-grandfather. About Ksavie uncle Emili something heard since Ksavie was a remarkable person and knew each dot of land on border. In histories about it, probably, nothing no, - a rich man he did not become, but in such muffle;deaden newspapers, understandable, did not publish and record no did not lead. It Is Remembered, uncle Emili spoke me - about gentlemen, after all seventy years passed thereafter! - that Ksavie was one of best french voyageurs [here: serving companies on trade fur, водивший caravans on remote trading posts and posts (fr.)]. Can, about it and that bad was known, yes did not become uncle Emili to tell about this small девочке. - R you speak about Ksavie, - вмешался дедушка Edgar. - But I shall! I горжусь him. So here is, Ksavie Peak was born, must be, year in a thousand seven hundred ninetieth. The Uncle Emili told that other assured, is woke;waked he was born on island Makinak, but other - that on lake Pepin, or in New Orleans, or even on old native land, in France, but all reconverged on that that Ksavie was not much высок growing, but terribly strong and brave, and sang on surprise, and saws more measures, but how much languages knew! He, speak, knew all languages, what only there is, - and french, and english, and spanish, and чиппева, and sioux, and кри, on all languages spoke, me uncle Emili told, but uncle Emili never defrauded, except in trade. Here is Edgar, that возненавидел Ksavie Pica! - I and so his(its) ненавижу if only you his(its) has not invented, - has confirmed дедушка Edgar. - Here is-here is. Yes, so, signifies, Ksavie - first he was voyageur on service of the Companies of the Hudson bay, but afterwards became coureur de bois [траппер, huntsman (fr.)] the free merchant, buyer-up of the fur. Master was conduct boats through the thresholds. In youth he, probably, carried the silk sash, as all voyageurs, and sang... The Billeting-ka, Niyl, yes I you, probably, told about Ksavie, when you else under table on foot went. Now-that you, must be, has forgotten, but remember, - I taught you to sing the song about voyageurs - "Dans mon chemin"? ["Whilst in transit" (fr.)] - And faithfully, grandmother, something remember. From school textbook of the histories of the Minnesota, from полузабытых tale full-grown and grandmothers ZHyuli before Niylom to appeared his(its) ancestor Ksavie Peak. The Grandmother ZHyuli kept quiet, pensive rocking slightly head, but Niyl mentally дорисовывал portrait this french adventurer, strong and cheerful. Ksavie did not go for plow on бурым english to fields, as venerable ancestor of the doctor Kenneta, which although and imagined the king, вернее whole were an землепашцами. Ksavie caused in consciousness not misty evening and peace herd with campanula, but fresh morning on пенистых threshold of the unbeknownst rivers. Niyl visualized, as spring in the morning he emerges from Montreal to deliver the caravan a canoe in distant fort, misplaced amongst соснового of the boron in mouth yard Kaministikvia. Ksavie Peak. There was he, probably, foul-mouthed person and playboy, rosy, with curly golden бородкой, and carried the thick blue raincoat with откинутым on back by hood, but on scarlet sash hunged the tobacco pouch and narrow knife. The Moccasins and gaiters he had from оленьей of the skin, but its вязаный hubcap he carried with boldness of the worldly-wise sailor. Cheerfully setting off in way toward threshold and night волчьему вою in boundless desert north wood, ready to fight with awesome boer Upper lake, not to be afraid of neither chill, nor hunger, nor insidious индейцев, Ksavie sang with their own comrade: Dans mon chenain j'ai rencontre Trois cavaliers bien montes - Lon, lon, laridondaine [Whilst in transit I have met three riders on good horse... (fr.)]. So, not in word, but in image, strong and bright, Niylu was recalled distant hero, from which he its existence. All this, certainly, pertained to young year Ksavie. When grandmother ZHyuli, having napped, has spoke once again, catch scrap heard in adolescence of the legends, was realized that Ksavie became the independent merchant. She knew that he дожил before 1850, never remained for a long time on one place and, on her(its) firm belief, the first from white people examined the enormous space of the uninhabited land, where now due to his(its) dexterity and gallantry выросли farms and villages. Contrary to angry сопению husband she noisy confirmed that this frenchman-pioneer was one of the founders and the first military царьков new american and english province - a Minnesotas and Viskonsina, Ontario and Manitoby. However, indulged in fantasy Niyl, англиканским пьянчугам Ksavie, probably, served not on its will. In heart he carried the un-english flag of the colour of beef and not полосатую, as cheap sweetmeat, тряпицу yankee, but gold(en) lilies. Can, exactly this valorous gall, but not at all some rickety english аристократишка and was that ancestor, which gave him right to pretend on royal blood? This does not like the doctor Kennetu, in whose weak vein no and dripped the burning shelters Ksavie, but then Biddi, such frantic and enterprising, will someday value such kinship. Why and no? What know? Can, this outlandish Ksavie Peak happened to related king and was exorcised from France as descendant of some duke Pikardiyskogo? But ducal banner was is then and there wrested beside Niyla from hands. - You, certainly, understand, - has said the grandmother ZHyuli, - that Ksavie, possible, was not thoroughbred frenchman. Wholly probably that in him was and indian blood. And we with you, possible, немножко чиппева. - CHippeva? - has ed Niyl tumbled by voice. - But that? You realy prejudiced against indian shelters? - has said the old woman thrown cunning look at husband. - No, of course, no! - has declared Niyl not too uverenno. - I have no no race prejudice. I despite all participated in War against Prejudice! Dedushka Edgar заныл: - Not in that essence that boy reluctance to be an индейцем, from that that go nacked yes with small детей scalps remove. The Main, you not all выбалтывай that know! ZHyuli has measured his(its) glance: - What you дурачком pretend? YA-to do not be afraid to speak of its unite. My ancestor did not trade the wooden hour as some others. Let who I shall ask: "This faithfully that you squaw, from that that tomahawk fight?" I shall say: "Faithfully", - and as дам to him this tomahawk! While oldsters wrangled between itself with skill, worked out шестидесятилетней by practice, Niyl tried to be going to with thought. In general-that he considered that индейцы - beautiful folk: they so well control the boat and дубят the deers of the skin. But not easily was leap from lock of the duke Pikardiyskogo in закопченный wigwam. But ZHyuli, cheerfully having called limit Edgar hypocrite and скаредами-yankee, continued: - When Ksavie married, but he, insofar I know, only once and has allowed such carelessness, that married he on скво from tribe чиппева so in us don't care there is indian blood. And on me - better have a limit, which ated the berries and become cool pike, than here is beside it in family the only thing ate that dried codfish, therefore and themselves all left such zwieback. - Beside us in sort although boiled собачину did not ate, as твои чиппева, - has said Edgar. - But that before Niyla, so codfish by codfish, but my relatives to him, it is necessary to think, such kinsfolk, either as твои. - You so consider! But you, Niyl, - although you wild indian although no, but has occurred you from Ksavie Pica, the most daring person on border, and this quite well, but? - Certainly, grandmother, this much well! But unexpectedly declared in him indian blood occupied his(its) thoughts more, than "бедовость" мсье Pica. He has recalled that boy after some words, en passant брошенных by grandmother ZHyuli, he one time considered itself descendant redskin вождя. He boasted this Ekli Uorgeytu, and сей бледнолицый junker he envied. Yes, heritage of the kings, gallantry индейцев чиппева - a tribe, which did not be afraid neither nacked s, nor night darkness, nor hidden in more often enemy. But all... This could make happy who is pleased, but not worthy spouse News Bihaus. His(its) has much spoilt that old woman his(its) peerless Biddi - this silvery-rose creation - were not english of the princess and outstanding француженки in splendid garb, embroidered gold(en) lily, but немытые скво in shirt from клейменой of the sackcloth. "Interesting, how much lousy ребятишек in reservation can pretend on kinship with Biddi? А, let itself pretend! Can, us with her and will go on profit blood primitive american. "Mister and mrs Niyl Indianblad report on betrothal its дочери Elizabeth Bystronogoy Martens with John Pirpontom Morgan Uorgeytom..." And счастлив will this puppy if she him to get!" He has recalled the calendar of the grocery commissary with picture, expressed young squaw, in which he boy was enamoured: graceful maiden with all north attribute - a tapes, deer доха, embroidering beads, canoe, waterfall, сосновый wood and moon light, - and he was thought that as symbolic figure she not more convincing, than beautiful, but глупенькая Eleyn, жеманно yearning under osier Kamelota. Finally he has talked with done by gaiety: - Well, grandmother, consider that I - an indian. But drink the индейцу possible? Dedushka Edgar has answered: - It is impossible. They after burning water on people dash, they give only roasted beaver tails. But here is grandson Eda Saksinara to drink possible. This - how much are pleased. 12 The Buildings he nothing have not said about индейцах чиппева. That interesting subject of the talk seemed beside grandmothers ZHyuli, at all did not answer the spirit of the League Formed Young Womans. He has tried to find out anything beside parents, but made sure that they nothing do not be aware of family his(its) full-grown. All that itself Feyt someday and could hear, she, peacefully dispersing with grandmother ZHyuli, exuded for good to forget. But ZHyuli, strictly, nothing has not proved;proven that Ksavie Peak or his(its) wife were an индейцами, convinced itself Niyl, convinced too often and too busily. He all tried to visualize its precious Biddi as essence, in whose thin vein flows the indian blood. Newly, is alarmed watched he on this anglo-saxon child and compared her(it) with girlfriend. He has solved that Biddi more eager and independent, than the other children, but in twilight, at light of the desk lamp, he seemed that her(its) white-rose щечки cast copper. Biddi, as nobody, knew how to transform the sofa in boat and row the tennis racket - why racket did not become the новее; she loved noiseless to skulk on tiptoe and suddenly emit the militant shouts; when they at the end of the April divorced the campfire to in honour of first thaw, he has noticed that both of them fine finish with hatchet and kindling. "Can be, this not simply play. I, right, begin to notice and in itself and in her indian lines". But once upon a time, when News sewed on the beads on tiny moccasins for Biddi, he has said, not having thought: - Only squaw could come to mind such pattern. And has then and there thought that after all this not in News Bihaus him it is necessary to nose resemblance with squaw, and has immediately understood, as farfetched and foolish were all his(its) conclusions. And for spite всякой to logic возликовал, - signifies, neither in him, nor in Biddi no "indian shelters"! But even though there is... yes, yes, now he has recalled, someone spoke that amongst limit of all dear judge Kessa Timberleyna were sioux and that race signs are sent not with blood, but with some "gene". The Scientific findings Niyla свелись to that that 1) much more likely, in him no neither indian shelters, nor indian gene, or as it there is identified, but 2) if and there is, this not it is important, but 3) News about this speak does not cost(stand), and 4) when will recall the dark grace of the grandmother ZHyuli, that clear, as day, as he and Biddi - a direct descendant of the Falcon's Eye, but 5) in general, all this absolutely ceased his(its) interest and 6) he under the first possibility will definitively realize, there is in him indian blood and (or) these most genes. His(its) second business trip in Minneapolis was sewn on for monday 7 May, when whole country has flown around premature, but confirmed in day известие about surrenders of the Germany. In all village along railway plow клаксоны and beeped the church bell, and in coach "Borap" aloud triumphed the victory. The Unacquainted people stinger to each other hands, together saws from pocket flask, slammed on shoulder of the conductor of the Poppy and standing up sang ungraceful in chorus "For happiness of the former days". Is it Now returned home and Dzhad, and Eliot, and Sort Oldvik, with joy thought Niyl. Will be with whom speak, consult. He has already assured itself that only therefore and has took in earnest "this indian nonsence" that заскучал without friends. But Dzheymi Uorgeyt not to return home. He for ever remained sometime in Germany, buried under motor of its plane, beautiful his(its) hands are crushed and перемешались with debris by steels. And not to return home captain Ellerton, with which Niyl befriended on way in Italy. The Captain Ellerton the most non-standard from people, lies in standard pose under standard cross on graveyard, boring, as town small garden. The having Finished negotiations with миннеаполисскими banker and politician, Niyl in ambience in the morning went to Sent-Sex to doctor Verveysu, scientific employee History society Minnesotas, which building высилось near by round hat Capitol staff. The Doctor Verveys turned out to be beside itself in cabinet; this was kind, professorial type of the person; and Niyl has talked with him easy and naturally, not wholly realizing what prepared to lie: - I commanded the mouth in Italies, but presently returned with front one my soldier, wounded, and asks me разузнать here anything about his(its) limit-pioneer Ksavie Peak; the veins in these edge of the years one hundred back, traded with индейцами. - Something do not remember. What write, with two "to"? - No, seems, simply P-I-K. Can, this refers to Pikardii? - has asked Niyl with hope. - D-da, possible. - So here is, this my soldier is much interested, no in your archive of the reliable record about this most Ksavie. Was born he, probably, around thousand seven hundred ninetieth years, can be, in France. Insofar I understand, my soldier particularly interesting to hear, was Ksavie thoroughbred frenchman or with admixture indian shelters, in other words - whom him to consider itself. - But as you were shown, mister Kingsblad, your soldier was complacent if was realized that in him there is indian blood, or he belongs to to count;calculate;list narrow-minded racist of the type "Burning cross"? - To count;calculate;list who? Ah yes, he... That? The Right, do not know. We with him, how much are remembered, this did not discuss, anyway, did not enter into details. - Can you little wait, mister Kingsblad? The Doctor Verveys returned, неся in hand old-time handwritten book: - Seems, I have hit upon trace мсье Pica. - Yes? - So defendant waits the condemnation. The Doctor Verveys did not hurry. - I have searched him(it) in diary book Taliaferro. Yes. Ksavie Peak. Possible that this most, here is see - помог arrest the unruly индейца. But major Taliaferro does not mention of that, was Peak itself by mestizo. Certainly if he was born in France, this unlikely, realy that his(its) father вывез from Canada wife-squaw. Such events could be, but seldom. Niyl has felt the relief, and was ashamed this, and once again вздохнул liberally at thoughts that Biddi and father Biddi - a thoroughbred арийцы. - However, - continued the doctor Verveys, - whosoever was this Peak, married he on squaw чиппева. "About devil! I and has forgotten completely about redskin прапрапрабабушке, be she wrong. Well that this Ksavie to sit the building, in France or in New Orleans, so no, was necessary him to wander! That I have done him one hundred twenty years back that he вздумал me so avenge?" And here good-natured doctor Verveys, itself that not suspecting, has knocked his(its) обухом on head. - No, hardly in vein Ksavie Pica текла indian blood since... here is do not know, сочтете you necessary to speak this your inquisitive veteran; in race questions so much else всякой to lethargies and prejudice; but anyway, major Taliaferro writes that ancestor your familiar, Ksavie Peak, was a thoroughbred negro. Obviously, Niyl did not change on behalf of since doctor Verveys continued the vigorous tone: - You, certainly, know that in majority South staff and in some North negro is under the law considered any, in lump there is although "one drop negro shelters", and on this barbarous logic leaves that your buddy-veteran and his(its) children if they he has, as it were they nor were белокожи, are in eye of the law one-hundred-percent negro. Niyl thought not as much about itself as about its golden Biddi. 13 Some image he found oneself in закусочной - he sat and attentively examinred closely bad вытертый table, bank of the ketchup, узорный metallic стаканчик with paper napkin. In head beside he stood the mist, but all he remembered that doctor Verveys promised to search for material for it else that it is necessary to call at to him at two o'clocks and that he nothing itself did not give. Nothing already could not his(its) surprise: he was in the authorities of the silent terror, as sleepwalker, heard that on the eve at night he in VWVappear in the dreams has killed the person and that his(its) searches for the police body. In hand he had bitten into sandwich. He with surprise has looked at it. Why he has booked this filth - a piece of stale ham between two dirty ломтями of bread? And diner премерзкая - some taunt on the god and clear may daytime. "As I have here got? But however, it is necessary to get accustomed. Now this for me the most suitabling place. Yes no, probably, here consider, as this institution too well for us - an ниггеров". For the first time he gave the name that, than he now became, and him was so nauseating that not even came on wit more soft form "negroes", yes and that signified the word in contrast with fact? All in he resented at thoughts that his(its) possible name black, желтым, or green, or else some, when he, Niyl Kingsblad, always was and will always be the most common, varicoloured persons. But _они_ will say that he black person, negro. The Negroes, thought Niyl, this Belfrida Grey and Borus Bagdoll; this conductor Poppy, being obsequious to before white usurer; this is a sweaty black longshoremen in неапольском port, he carries the american uniform dress coat, but him is forbidden to carry the weapon, he is permitted only to carry the enormous boxes, from which trembles the lap and whines the back; this farm worker under singing sun Louisiana and in light torchlight on of prayer orgy; this animal, but not free, as the other animals, from feeling of shame; this murderer with Beat-стрит or buffoon, for гроши dancing in pub on fun to people. The Negroes - that that live in holey hovel or in полусгнивших hut, close-fitting, as box for яиц, and carry split, trampled shoes or остроносые shoes panderer; they sleep on вонючих sheet, which never change, but spiritual shepherd has reprobate горлодера and crook. The Other negro does not can be. Realy not so spoke him military physician from Georgia? The Negroes if light skin did not rescue them from denouncement, work in kitchen - in someone else, ungracious kitchen, - or in stuffy прачечных, or in overheated air foundry, or clean on street footwear, ready to that that white mister contemptuous сплюнет to him on head. The Negroes not capable - biologically, organic, irreparable not capable to learn some science, except adding and subtractions, simple fudge and car control, but the whole their философия packs in сонник. On some mysterious reason they also not capable to wash and so - an противнее animal, after all that despite all вылизывают its skin. Beside all without exception negro such foul manners that their never invite neither in decent buildings, nor on meetings majority worker alliance, ибо even in these organization, to which Niyl, as добропорядочный bank figure, pertained with disapproval, and that each clear that negroes - complitly idlers, strikebreakers and spies. The Negroes - an animals in physical sense. And in cultural sense - for them don't care that Bethoven that sv.Augustine. And in moral sense - they can not remain from larceny and violences, from lie and treachery. Yes, this the most persisting animals - something average between person and ape. If you negro, you know, as твои children - as it were you their nor loved and nor took care of them, howsoever were they blond and светлокожи - are doomed to become such freak and cheater, dunce and cretin, either as you, and their children too, and children their детей - before скончания age, on curse Iezekiilya. "But I not such, and ma not such, and Biddi, and grandmother ZHyuli. We are a common decent people. Signifies, this mistake. We not at all negroes, simply was two different Ksavie Pica. Not валяй fool, Kingsblad. At heart showers you fine know that he was your ancestor. А, be he проклят for his(its) turn black skin! Poor small Biddi! Let so. But if Biddi - a negro woman, signifies, all that I heard of negro, well yes, and about jew, about japanese, about russian, about religions and politician, - all this too, can be, lie? Once uzh you negro, so and be the negro and fight, as negro. check;test;audit;inspect;examine Itself and if можешь, - fight. But I must hear, what is a negro; I must thorouhly hear that I such!" His(its) attempts додумать that that nor was were split about vision sprightly and naive личика Biddi - a small герцогини Pikardiyskoy, heiresses of the queen of the Catherine Aragonskoy - and глумящихся соседей on her; yes she, turns out to be, negro woman, repugnant cartoon on child, with flat skull, with obscene grimace, - drive such it is necessary, but there, climb with парадного крыльца! "She not such. We not such. The Negroes not such. Or I mistaken?" The Doctor Verveys has told that was sewn on letter Ksavie Pica general Henry Sibli, and has then and there sent the letter Niylu. The Paper has powerfully ed, but ink have not faded, and handwriting was even and graceful - a handwriting of the educated person. Niyl has thought that unless consider the doctor Verveysa with his(its) assistant and general Sibli, he, can be, the first touched hereto letter thereafter, as one hundred years back Ksavie wrote him(it) at candlelight or north sun on rough дощатом table or on board canoe. "When You were here, высокоуважаемый general, and have rendered me honour откушать beside me fish and tea since in our muffle;deaden I had a no possibility to offer You more worthy угощение, I told You that I thoroughbred negro and was born on Martinique and that if in me there is admixture french, or spanish, or portuguese shelters, that very small. The Wife my was a squaw from tribe оджибвеев, but expensive my daughter Sidoni recently left married for frenchman Lui Pezo, and though itself I горжусь the negro since this such manly and warmhearted folk, but in South staff life their have transformed in unbearable torture, and I do not want to Sidoni and her(its) детей considered the negro and that they suffered so, what my соплеменники suffer there, which in person name the dirty animal. I wanted insure the grandson from this VWVincrease the frequency of. So we ask You hereafter to count me frenchman. Starovat I became for functioning(working) in muffle;deaden and nearly all have executed that has marked itself in lifes, and terribly me to think that my grandson, can be, wait braid, so ask You, высокоуважаемый general Sibli, nobody do not tells, what blackenning skin beside me. Must add that indian lady this colour, see, much likes, but здешние warriors in one voice assure that I first white person, visitted in their краю. Mes estimes les plus distinguees [with made by respect (fr.)]. Ks.The Peak". The Doctor Verveys has spoken: - Remarkable, is seen, was an oldster - where благороднее, than сеньер de Network-Lyuson or other parisian царедворцы, which fate pelted on border. If beside your buddy-military will be enough on that boldness and power of the imagination, - he can be proud of its ancestor. But know, in that that he speaks, much truths. Indeycy on north border divided the people on redskin and white so negroes, like Ksavie, really were first "white people", принесшими poor pagan good to civilizations - a bottle, bomb and bible. They have played same role that admiral Perri, when he has forced Japan to open their own door external world, and if results turned out to be so pitiful, that not upon their blame... But взгляните, what all royal name: Sidoni left married for Lui, but their, about which nothing, except name, us not known, called Alexander! That is most circuit, about which spoke him grandmother ZHyuli: Ksavie, Sidoni, Lui Pezo, Alexander, but if he will reveal the secret, this circuit will are numbed and he and Biddi. If... "But I so clear itself presented, - thought he, возвращаясь local train in Minneapolis, - that beside Ksavie was золотистая бородка! This I, with my redhead by head of hair, descendant negro? Or Biddi? Grandmother ZHyuli - that, truth, dark. About gentlemen, and why I must think about this? Speak, colour sometimes descend for white if skin beside them it is enough light. YA-to, certainly, сойду. That for conceit, with what I have taken that god has intended me to be a martyr? Yes and good martyr, which ready to bring the mother and daughter in victim its идиотскому vanity! All can remain, as was. Must remain, at least for the sake of Biddi! You that, unite mother ready to doom on fate bets, but? Can Not person so enter! But that if this already many known? If in me possible to recognize the negro? YUzhane assure that this is always seen. Here is that passenger that was crowded on me from corner, - sees he that I negro? Or all always about this guessed?" 14 In Minneapolise he went on вестибюлю its hotels, not tearing away eye from monochrome saber marble flap, with irritation noting that sex exactly black with white, striding tense, as drunk, which gives itself that that too tries not to rock. He guessed, much people looks at it, suspecting negro in him. Uilbur Federing, which traded the edibles a product in Grande-Ripablik, but was born in staff Missisipi, quite often confirmed that can faultless recognize the negro, which tries to descend for white even though in him whole one sixty quarters black shelters. If Uilbur will guess, from it mercies not wait. Getting to mediums вестибюля, he a little did not stop to take a look at their own hands. He sometime heard that negro in any lap, be he white-faced, as Narcissus, always give the синеватые small holes an ногтей. He was not tolerated take a look at their own ногти. But he has forced itself to keep the hands on швам (so people and really in surprise kept an eye on on angry person with wooden gait) and so дошагал before lift. With refined negligence (as he seemed) he ухитрился to lean the hand about side of the lift and look at their own ногти. No! The Small holes were such light, as beside Biddi. "But then now I know that must feel the unrecognized negro if he stops in such calve: tremble, as it were some arrogant tourist has not noticed him(it) and not велел controlling вышвырнуть his(its) halitosis. And so always? The Whole life?" At study of all fineness complex Art to Be a Negro Niylu lay ahead to hear that in many North staff, including his(its) unite Minnesota, there is Law about civil rights, prohibiting to delete the negro and representatives other непривилегированных nationalities from hotels, restaurant, theatre, and that he is conducted in life so successfully, as in due course notorious Dry law. The White lodger grumbled: "Around they are put, these ниггеры. Could, seems, know its place". These smart chaps did not try be conceived on that, what image negro, arrived in midnight in someone else city, hear, where exactly his(its) place. Having Found that for ten rooms from they sleep the negro, they felt, what is a proximity holds infect, nigh only mortal danger, and pounced on controlling, but that, coming from position that to live him it is necessary, worked out the technology chilling-polite address with negro and noncommittal answer comparatively free number. Already presently, in the first night, which he has lived the negro, Niyl remembered that at any minute from below can ring the night man on duty: "I much сожалею, sir, but, turns out to be, number, which we you distances, was booked beforehand". Remembered already presently. So painfilly and sharply, as never remembered the complex rules of the behaviour "officer and gentleman". For strong wall of its number he, здоровяк and athlete, heeding to telephone, felt itself ed and miserable. The Telephone did not ring, but he was heard groups of ten bell. But if him not place in this calve, thought he, that more so нечего to plunge in пульмановский coach "Borap". Arrest him(it) for this will not arrest, but never already he will not be able to present its favor of the black Poppy, which turned out to be now than-that like his(its) senior родича. Future dark - did not happen to him most thank the Poppy for condescending stretched dollar. His(its) place - with other прокаженными, in бесплацкартном coach, in south бесплацкартном coach for negro, victimized and dirty to his(its) "monkey scent" has not insulted the sensitive white ноздрей Kertisa Havoka. On all this he thought, but he did not dare to think about that, what return to News and will say that has presented her daughter-negro woman. At night he was going to to go be clipped in tonsorial calve "Suonson-Grande". He sat beside table in its number in deep pensiveness, tapping ногтем on teeth, now and then worrisome взглядывая on this nail. Properly speaking, him not so uzh necessary be clipped, but he must go in tonsorial for the sake of самоутверждения. Will Not allow he that some hairdresser has insulted him(it)! He is an UNITED STATES person and lives in this calve; he is corrected pays the tax and not задолжал for number; he has such right on facilities tonsorial, as any white... He angrily rose with place, but got angry he on most itself. "Devil you twitch, Kingsblad, little you mountain that you negro and must tell this News, you else invent itself troubles itself? With what you has taken that some swede-hairdresser will dispense with you, as with colour, when thirty one years this nobody did not come to mind? cease Express white, which pretends the negro. You and so negro, and чиппева, and west-индский арап so pretend the нечего. Here is drolly, imagination was played before what. But I always considered that I am deprived to fantasies. All so considered. But that if... that if and for me and for Grande-Ripablik the most necessary - a streem warmed up sun black shelters?" He even became funny at thoughts about instant wreckage whole, than was Niyl Kingsblad; about that that black person, like him, at all can not serve in bank, be a member Golf-club, officer, husband calm sure of itself News, son дантиста from scotsman, the other haughty major Rodneya Oldvika. All, than he was earlier, suddenly disappeared, but he even so exists, but that he now? That master N_3 tonsorial "Suonsor-Grande" will dispense with mister Kingsbladom just as always, was more then obviously, and Niyl else pondered, does not refuse N_3 to clip him(it), but N_3 already with all might worked the ножницами. But even chilly humid hands of the hairdresser, accustomed wafting VWVappear in the dreams, have not becalmed Niyla. Managinging tonsorial, кассирша, negro-cleaner, master N_3 - can, they guessed that he negro, can, they long ago this knows? Can, they only wait the suitable moment to crush on it threats, blackmail, - wait, затаились and are dared on him? - A Hairs beside you climbing, captain, at all will not level, - has said the hairdresser. About than this he? The Climbing hairs. The Curly hairs. The Hairs of the negro. Can, for his(its) back master N_3 перемигнулся with neighbour? Why he so has powerfully twitched one strand? Or already thickens the inconceivable mirk of ostracism, blackenning winter of the blackness? Much slowly and carefully Niyl has ed the hand from beneath sheets, has scratched the nose and, having lowered hand on lap, once again became to examinr closely their own ногти. That this, mercury lamps give such light or really small holes a little голубоватые? His(its) washed вскочить with place, run, take cover beside itself in number - no, run to else unknown him friends-negro that they have felt sorry him(it), have hidden, have protected. When, finally, came the liberation, he rose not with natty white-green tonsorial easy chair, but with electric chair. Beside itself in number he a little not застонал. "News always loved to pul at my hairs. But that will now if she will hear? The Hairs beside me such colour, as were beside father, only beside he does not вьются. That will think the News? It is impossible that she has heard". Else and was else recalled all pleasing and accustomed, what he can lose, having become by negro. The Adoration Biddi. The Aristocratic Federal club. The Balls and idle lively parties in country club "Heather", where he once upon a time presided on billiard tournament. The Student brotherhood. The Career in bank. The Friendship with major Rodneem Oldvikom. The scrap english verse rotated In head, which Sort Oldvik quoted with special savor: Than white person lives, About native land recalling? The Regard рождественских lights to Yes empires honour saint! But as he itself, on own observations, visualizes the negro? "Well-ka, you, white person, son to empires, answer, who we such? Let's, let's, not to scruple!" The Negroes - they all sullen and perfidious, as Belfrida. Tell lies! The Poppy not such, and I not such, yes and about Belfridy I not wholly certain. They black, плосконосые, thick-lipped". He подошел to mirror and burst out laughing. "How much I such knew, what no on light! What was addle-brained scare! Cited on this dolt-physician from Georgia. The Negroes - ненастоящие people, here is as? Kingsblad, конголезская blood, you has deserved all that you expect. Probably, the god has therefor turned me in negro to rescue my shower if her(its) have not yet killed the ledgers and soccer matches. I must say: "You blind and ignorant, as white", - but this not easily listen to even from myself. Well, to that these attacks on white? Certain that many of them willingly искупили their own sins be my possibility beside them. The Captain, but you do not exaggerate its joys on cause that that become colour? Possible, not dispute". In desk drawer under last year's newspaper he has found the sheet of notepaper, nearly wholly occupied scene calve "Suonson-Grande" and surname owner, found out затейливым by font девяностых years; the places, where write, nearly did not remain, - see, from lodger of such zeal and did not expect. He has overwinded the slip, has got its banker, wrought gold(en) handle and has formed the accounting exact roll one branch sort of. Ksavie Peak - possible spanish and french admixture, but was considered 100-percent negro. Sidoni, his(its) daughter, left married for Lui Pezo, was on 1/2 чиппева and on 1/2 negro womans. Alexander Pezo, their son, father of the grandmother ZHyuli, - квартерон, on 1/4 negroes. My old woman ZHyuli Saksinar - on 1/8 negro womans. Her(its) daughter, my mother, - on 1/16 negro womans. I - on 1/32 negroes. Biddi - on 1/64 negro womans. "Well here is, now I, finally, can report the pope(pa) something interesting about our royal limit!" 15 There was late, but he will not go to eat in restaurant "Suonson-Grande". Could Not he sits there and all time to think, look at it or no. He has already understood that negroes holds separate not therefore that can not live the friend without friend, but therefore that do not stand, when on they are stared at white idiots. Zataiv in shower terror, he has gone to decorous bungalow дедушки Saksinara. The Oldster greeted his(its) voice, scratchy, as his(its) rocking chair: - A Favours ask, young person! At all, the second once this year? Not often you us so spoil! The Grandmother ZHyuli - that has immediately asked: - That happened, boy? Standing up still and straight in the middle rooms, where plowed the хвоей from pillow, stuffed сосновыми needle, Niyl has said much seriously: - A Grandmother, you certain that your ancestor, commencing from Pica, were only frenchmans and чиппева? - Spoke I you not to chatter about Pica! - an заныл дедушка Edgar. She whole cringed. She knew! Niyl did not calm don: - You certain that in us no not in the least negro shelters? She взвизгнула: - You that speak, good-for-nothing! Yes where this is heard! But anger her(its) was too transparent, and too transparent was fury дедушки Edgar. Nothing do not remain from funny skinflint, cosily греющего beside fire to old bones. The Person his(its) was terribly - pitiless, bloodthirsty person линчевателя. Such expression Niyl once saw beside foamy german and once beside drunk american from military police body. Edgar raged: - No, you that this has invented, to that you bend, but? Uzh you not вбил itself in head that beside your old womans in sort was blackenning blood? Or you intoxicate as insole? On-твоему, leaves that I have given birth the swarthy boys that your uncle Emeri and your uniting mother - ниггеры? Niyl always loved tender to chatter with grandparent, either as with any nice little old man, but presently him was not before chatter and not before weasel. - Hope that this not so, but once in lifes I intending to obtain the truths. Say me truth. Dedushka Edgar immediately to drooped and одряхлел, his(its) useless flash went out. - spit You on these tale and dirty slanders, Niyl. All this lie, before the coping-stone, but if and was a truth, nobody this does not follow to know. For the sake of creator, the boy, forget about this. The Grandmother ZHyuli piercing заклохтала: - A Lie with begin before the end, Niyl, pretty. This people in Gayavate have invented from envy that we with Edom so well live. Was Not power long to be present herewith самооголении two decrepit spectres past, and Niyl has retreated, but did not be able to soften the tone of its farewell remark: - Well, well, not shall. Well, me time. Goodbye. In train he was irritated: "Have Made sick and tired me all these "Carried away ветром" and сусальные рассказики Thomas Nelsona Peydzha! The White master on old plantation - a white master in cool office - a swords and roses and give devil ниггеру in teeths. If I negro - well, shall be a negro. Never else so did not want to drink". But in bar calve "Suonson-Grande" he has drunk orange juice and did not dare to book even one cocktail. He already thought, not for ever with they parted though hitherto was with cocktail in harmony. He looked at come alive mans beside racks and visualized, as they turned wolf and hyena if he while drunk has said aloud that could say. The Whole road home, in "Borape", his(its) burdened услужливость Poppy. He wanted буркнуть: "Yes throw, I its". He вскипал, hearing, as Poppy obsequious is dared flat fun of the inhabitant Grande-Ripablik Hollered Veya, which was a nice persons, when selected you flow for spectacles, but only then. Niylu wanted to ask the Poppy: "Why you listen this white пустобреха? Our folk must behave fittingly". Only in tag ends of the way he came to mind that twenty eight hours of the education - probably, too short period to adopt all habits a negro. Earlier if anything be not got on, he did not manage to defraud the News no потугами on gaiety, but when he ввалился in house with cheer: "Your husband has bought up all banks Minneapolisa and Sent-Flap!" - kissed fervently her(it), взъерошил Biddi hairs, as заправский lucky spouse and father, she nothing not заподозрила and has said only: - I pleased that you has aptly gone. What happiness that ended the war! You as, in mood tonight to fought in bridge beside Kertisa? - Certainly, with pleasure. Kertis, son Buna Havoka, the first pounces upon it. He nothing could not solve since remained the undecided main question: обнародует he its secret, will open her(its) at least News? If he keeps quiet, nobody, probably, will not hear, but grandmother ZHyuli and Edgar nothing will not say - clear. The Doctor Verveysu and in head will not come to the Pica and family Pezo with Kingsbladami. There is no one be accuse him(it), except his(its) most. But this single accuser differed such tenacity that occasionly he heard, as beside he comes off the word: "Yes, in me there is negro blood. That I, Jude to recant the tribe my full-grown?" But any time he ready was undertake some bold, resolute step, was heard the biting voice his(its) second, more трезвого "I": "Before what brave this captain! Wants to throw call whole light! Does Not терпится you to fall into paws to south sheriff with бычьим glance and red fist, when in this no necessities, when this aimlessly, when nobody you about this does not ask? Too, самозваный martyr was found!" This is a pocket hell he carried with itself and on work, when concerned with the device to Consultations for veteran. Pyhtya and having a slight cough, to he swam up to mister John Uiliyam Pratt, but for him on tug - mrs John Uiliyam Pratt - a lady with sweet-and-sour person, but with bust, which possible was name seductive, do not be this bust approximite христианки. The Lady purlled: - I seem, you and mister Pratt has in vain chosen for this rooms such strict tone. You know, I never sail in deal of the bank, - I know, how much marriages this has ruined, even when wife managed the most best impetuses, - but I feel that I have a vocation to furnishings of the premiseses; I know, many women(woman)s this confirms, but themselves will the only thing die that прощебетать: "Ah, as advantageously занавески shade pale-mauve silk of the ottoman!" - but I feel that beside me it really there is - but after all many veterans will come with their own bride here, or wife, or... well, word, not one, and that particularly can attract some skilfully брошенное colorful spot - well, shall say, brightly-желтая pillow on sofa - so prettily and reminds of springtime. I seem, this much it is important, understand - about such thing often forget, but, right, this it is important! Has Here spoken mister Pratt, as always mellow, but not without ехидства: - You not without fall to comply with my благоверной, Niyl. You as, прониклись the belief that this it is important? - I, sir, not always understand in that that it is important and that no. "But that will if I shall say him?" This "but that will if I shall say him?" scarecrow and tormented him(it) and insidious pushed on confession, when he met with Uilburom Federingom, southerner, which wholly became reconciled with north cash device and sang "Take away the sheafs gold(en)" on motive "Dixie". Or when in Tennis club лесопромышленник U.S.VANDER, specialist on коврам and anti-semitism Sedrik Staubermeyer and optometrist-politician Hollered Way amicably confirmed between play that american liberty, including right to chew the tobacco and драть with consumer how much вздумается, threatens the serious danger. This was a good neighbours, always ready to loan Niylu mower for lawn or bottle whisky, solid clients of the bank, well called back about polite address and honesties Niyla, and this was an линчеватели - north, inactive sort, which "its wit and energy, single-handedly, have made itself condition, and no, damn it, сантименты to this duffer-worker do not catch their waive its property". Here did not happen to to distrust in that that will if he will say. The News has left to sleep. He sat on verandah, breathing heat this may night, ерзал in braided easy chair and tried to read the article about "Use bill of lading in international credit in condition of the postwar financial conjuncture". The Article was exceed is written and illustrated picture of the parisian exchange, but he has postponed her(it), he has resolutely postponed her(it) aside and was sunk in silence of the fallen asleep suburb. He has looked over the verandah, trellis, wound around by ivy, mixer for cocktails on small green refrigerator. Mentally he has seen the serene profile a News on pillow, Biddi, convolved in beds gold(en) клубочком. At June Biddi was performed five years, and she допытывалась, why her else it is impossible will vote. She declared that wants to choose its father in presidents, and did not give full-grown shave off itself with sense by facetious objection: "Well that you, small, pope(pa) it is impossible be a president, he too beautiful". All these simple joys... He will give itself unweighed word; some Uilbur Federing will catch him(it); he will is disgraced, will go rack and ruin this modest wellfare, this house - an entailment their любви. Mentally he already saw: insensible salesmen by old furniture and curious neighbours ввалились here to buy his(its) belongings - dirt-cheap, - but News and Biddi cost(stand) and плачут, wrapping in shawl, as widow and сиротка from викторианского of the novel. "No! I am a bosom shall protect our house! Exactly old-fashioned melodrama. That zh, I and feel itself, as in melodrama". From somewhere crawlled up to the bad thought that вернее whole he will be able to protect this house by its death. From depth of the grave he will not say the rash word. His(its) life, as respecting itself inhabitant Silivan-parka, is insured on greater amount. Probably, possible make the suicide so that nobody will not guess - for instance, start the car under escarpment and burn in his(its) debris? In bank was given difficult and fidgety day, and Niyl, as never, has tired from the world Prattov, изнемог from visions that that could with him to happen. If b invisibly уйти with scene, having provided future Biddi... But here he burst out laughing: "See-ka, how much new possibilities! But after all I despised the богачей, which were thrown from window during past of the crisis - a wretch white leeches did not think itself lifes without two chauffeurs, - not from who will be a blood to suckle. We, negroes, so do not enter". He again засмеялся, is not closed, not for public not even for услаждения own rumour. Rendi Spryus, secretary general of the Chamber of commerce Grande-Ripablik, was a buddy Uilbura Federinga - that that was born in Stoute, staff Missisipi, on red clayey hill, but now became the person of the Minnesota and protector of the skiing, which he nigh only gave for its invention though itself on ski did not go. Mister Federing was a founder and president to companies "PIPING HOT, piping hot - a hot dinners and morning meals on house quickly and without хлопот - all from sandwich before fricassee - a napkins and silver on special order - address personally, in writing and on telephone". Here is as there was Uilbur Federing. The Dinners were not bad, arrived - enormous, but itself he was a popular figure for all inhabitants Grande-Ripablik, except that, which did not approve the race intolerance and evil manners. He has prompted the Chamber of commerce a row useful идей, but Rendi Spryus always spoke: "I always dialect that for person in my position, professional combatant of the leading projects and American LIFESTYLE, main goods - an ideas. I not only read the journals and listen the conversations by radio, I ready to take the advice from who is pleased - as I always dialect, up to pole or unionist". From representative of the sort Federingov Rendi had happiness to get Exact Information on Negro Question. The Ricochet this information was useful and Niylu, when he and Rendi turned out to be in count;calculate;list nine members of the commission on device общегородской meeting veteran. Rendi felt nervous: - Amongst soldier there is and ниггеры, it is necessary something do, чтоб they have not spoilt the parade of our white heroes. - But black veteran it is impossible too consider the hero? - заикнулся was a doctor Norman Kamber. - In no event! - has ed Rendi. - I always dialect that discipline did not comply with on front ниггеры and were afraid the plain weapon. The Command has distributed him some awards only that they do not взбунтовались and we did not happen to their all расстрелять. I heard of this from one colonel. But Uilbur Federing gave the beautiful advice. We shall make swarthy separate meeting on Mayostri; all will - and parade, and firework, and знамена, and let some camel, like congressman Oberga, will deliver a speech. We shall say him that did not want to their have rubbed amongst white, therefore, breakwater, and fete them specifically. These ниггеры such fools, they will believe. - A Negroes all fools? - was notified Niyl. - All before one! - But mulattoes? - Nice my, I always dialect: if in person there is although drop black shelters, he недоумок. Not capable creative to think, understandable? After all you will not name the scientist a dog clever that's why that master has learned;learnted her(its) ride the bycicle and express drunk? Therefore and ниггер can not execute no responsible work. The Dock, let I thrice liar if you сумеете name me negro, which could be an UNITED STATES senator. - Hayrem Revls or B.K.BRYUS, - has said the doctor Kamber. - Who? Why you think that these ниггеры could be a senator? - They were a senator. - A-a, understand. This in timeses "reconstructions"? Federing me all have ed. This therefore that then ниггеров have right before freed, but for time servitude their have accustomed to industry and submissiveness. But later, when came the liberty, colour becommed flabby and дегенерировали in mental attitude, to say nothing of their immorality, and presently amongst them no nor one, which could occupy the place above, than place of the doorman in town control. Niyl thought уныло: "To that? I don't care nobody will not say. And point". So simply! 16 The Twelfth June sparkled the sun, lilac and fresh foliage - either as was needed, ибо twelfth June was daytime births Viddi. This was a birth day, worthy small white princess, - a white flowerses, white charge and white children with the whole quarter, enraptured newborn, her(its) new roller and white with gold(en) игрушечным by theatre. Niyl early returned home. Several девочек and four squeaky, but gallant young people - a peer Biddi - played in hide-and-seek on back courtyard around cement pool and white dollhouse Biddi, густо wound around become tipsy. All children, but especially Peggi Havok, adored Niyla and here and now set off водить around it round dance with singing, lovingly sing: "Mister Kingsblad, captain - mister Kingsblad, captain!" From building left the News, high and lovely, as angel, in long green gown with gold(en) belt, - she carried the festive puff pastry, on which white and yellow glaze was beautifully выведено "Biddi - 5". Six rose suppositories (one on growing) exactly blazed in still heat air. Before that what take the pie, Biddi - an inborn actress - has run away in lodge and appeared back into its christmas paper corona. But although her and much liked to be a queen, she, as good constitutional монархиня, cut and distributed the pie on-tsarist fair. Niyl глядел on it and thought that not long he amused itself thought about royal shelters. The Admixture her(it) in Biddi, certainly, was, but from old lecher Genriha VIII or from Ksavie Pica - a potentate timber muffle;deaden? Biddi has flown up to to him, eye her(its) shone, as diamonds. Having Got up on tiptoes, she has embraced his(its) hand: - Papochka, beside me else never-never was such strange рожденья. Now on my рожденье always will so merrily, yes? He has painfully kissed her(it). The Prince - former Nigger, - considered that holiday is made in his(its) honour and that he, as hospitable master, must bark on their own small friends and knock off them with legs, in two jumps found oneself near Biddi, has licked her person and, dare, shaved off with it corona, and Biddi, having forgotten completely about its royal value, завизжала: - Ah you, foul dog, cease сию minute, not that I you выгоню from my palace, foul you dog, Nigger opposite! Niyl annoyed winced. In bank to table Niyla подошел doctor Ash Devis, but doctor Ash Devis was a negro, with person of the colour dry autumn sheet, illuminated sun. Niyl from someone heard that in view of unprecedented difficulties, caused by war, Uorgeytam happened to to hire for functioning(working) in factory laboratory this colour subject Devisa - yes, yes, deal its he knows, has a degree of the doctor of the chemical sciences from CHikagskogo university, but that nor dialects - a black man. Here is and is seen (agreed all were present at morning meal in Buster-club), as beside us tight with labour. However, else question, possible allow such precedents into the name of victories even. Give work to white upstart negro - who knows, to what consequence this can bring! Yes, Niyl already heard about Ash Devisa. For the first time in lifes he on-persisting saw "colour". He never saw Belfridu, Emersona Vulkeypa, with which learned;learnt with the first before the last class of the school, Poppy, soldier-negro; he did not see them, but only with annoyance felt their presence as if in Arabia he searched for the road pointer in english, or french, or else some human language, but instead of this found only incomprehensible inscription on-arabic. And uzh, certainly, he did not see the client-negro, come to bank to take the loans. For it this was only dark hands, keeping papers, calm voice, преувеличенно courteous. Now he looked at Asha, but did not see in him "negro", "colour". Before him was on rarity обаятельный mundane person and additionally scientist. Beside Niyla мелькнуло the sensation: "Where I his(its) saw?" Afterwards he has recalled: only skin потемнее, but for the rest - poured Tony Ellerton with military transport, his(its) single wholly unselfish friend. The Doctor Devis was a man of the years forty, graceful, very graceful, low growing, with black tendril, but quite not foppish. The Glance he had hard. He was dress;clad, as any provided highbrow, but gray suit sat on him on-european. Be Niyl SHerlokom Holmsom, he has guessed in pronunciation of the doctor Devisa childhood, called on in Ohio, three years in England, France and Russia, friendship with tennis player, teacher of the music and workman of the laboratory. But he has heard only that doctor Devis speaks clearly and softly, looks like Rodneya Oldvika, but more it is correct. He was already biased to thoughts: "In this Devise there is something very attractive. I did not know that be such negroes. And whence I could know? I nowhere was and meet them". (Indeed Niyl month three ago sat opposite doctor Asha Devisa in bus, heard, as he talked with толстым by negro in пасторском воротничке, but did not see neither that, nor other.) The Doctor Devis has said that came with request. Presently, when ended the war, with здешних enterprise will are dismissed hundreds negro, and figures of the negro commune in consent with Town league have solved to petition before business institutions about granting him work. It is impossible make two-three persons in the Second National? He knows many colour, окончивших commercial schools, which during war served the accountant and accountant. That will say Niyl? - Why you addressed to me? - забеспокоился Niyl. - I with pleasure has did all that can, but after all I only assistant main accountant. The Smile beside Asha Devisa was suborning. - A Doctor Norman Kamber, good friend of my folk, has said me that you one of the little bank дельцов fit for human feeling. Am afraid that this sounds not too in flattering terms! - For dock Kambera and this already much. That zh, I позондирую ground. Without fall! He tried придумать, about than else speak to doctor Devisom. He necessary was a person, who understood that, than he became. And, lighted;litted up presence Asha Devisa, pale glimpses of the new thoughts, not given him rest, have gained отчетливость and power. He thought: "Beautiful, is seen, person, but have to humble, ask the white people for their own соплеменников. The Devil knows what is a, after all he a little does not truckle передо me, before some rotten clerk. He in a thousand once better me. Well here is, Kingsblad, once you was able this understand, - act". He, how much could, pulled the talk about work for negro, but his(its) upset that he does not know, as it is necessary to speak - "negroes", "colour" or else somehow. The Doctor Devis became to bid farewell, and in country, where so in move of the handshake, Niyl in the second once in lifes (first was Borus Bagdoll) has shaken the hand a negro. The Visible damage this he has not caused. For John Uiliyama Pratta he изобрел the clever version that, breakwater since beside them already there is several large depositors-negro, but will, probably, else more, follow, probably, take one-two negroes on job titles of the younger employees. Pratt has ed on it with pity: - Nice my, your liberal attitude to negro I please. I dream of that time, when they will get decent formation and will be able to occupy the place near by white workman - on its родном South. But here beside us him to do the нечего, and the most best - allow him to starve until they do not realize its foolish head that him it is necessary soon to cleare out to itself on South... To say nothing of that, what scandal has made us clients. On road home he зашел to father to drink the cocktail. This вздорный добряк has delayed its mellow rubbish: - Well that, sonny, successfully advance to royal headwaters? - As it is woke;waked yes, pope(pa). In that evening he has recalled the doctor Asha Devisa on contrast - on acceptance in honour of return the Sort Oldvika, which has made Sort itself since nobody could not make better. The Major Native Oldvik from tank body - in the world lawyer and rich person, charge Prinstona and Harvard, constant participant manoeuvre to National guard, tanned, skinny and long, short остриженный on prussian manners - was a soldier, noble searcher of the adventures, falcon, eagle, hero. Niylu, which was for five years younger him(it), Sort ideal hero seemed at school years. The Sort could solve for it example on algebra, teach his(its) dance the tango, show, in what small piece of coal lake Dead Skvo is for the best caughted pike, потренировать on хоккею, support in clash with pole and italian, console, when Ellen Havok rejected his(its) love, give on lend fifty cents and the secret of the taxes and saint Whitsunday, as well as why decent people like their father never голосуют for democrat. Not that that Sort really made these feats for the sake of Niyla, which much has rather well lived the juvenile years by its wit, but Niyl hotly believed that he has made their all, cost his(its) ask about this. At student years Sort (on information, got to Niyla) equally succeed in rhetoric and in polo, is corrected drank once fill with ruffian, which selected in new-йоркских bar, seduced the girl from such family only, which could not neither humble, nor tower before blackmail, and говаривал with facetious frankness, inherent him already at early years: "When I выставлю its candidacy in senate, no illegal infant will not break my election appearances". The Sort Oldvik veins not on bosom of the nature in Silivan-park, but near by doctor Give birth Droverom, amongst grandeurs Ottawa-хайтс. He conducted the furlough of the building in expectation of демобилизации and has not yet lost the romantic of the halo of the warrior, more so that carried the coats a person, paramilitary cover. His(its) return mate On with field swearing oak sexes in his(its) большом house were waxed before mirror briliance, crystal vases, which beside it was aiming collection, - VWVwash again and complitly pervaded narcissus, but for chinese screen, beaten off beside mean german robbers, orchestra from four persons played Deliusa and Koplenda. In the first once for this north summer was given warm evening, and men щеголяли (and froze) in white flannel coat, but ladies - in light white charge with накинутыми on shoulder mexican shawl. The Sort, as if candidate before choice, avoided the enraptured guests and, getting to Niyla and News, has said with грубоватой by simplicity: - And you here - well, now I have definitively understood that I building! Niyl, I heard, as valorous you fought, and heard not from anyone, but from enough-таки high rank for ocean. I have said him: "This boy one of my the most old friends, and I горжусь him!" Niyla even in fervour threw from pride, and later his(its) unpleasant has struck the remark of the doctor Drovera: "Except between Sort after army intending be switched to politician and hunt for popularity". The Wife Oldvika, Dzhenet, was a growing a little повыше News, and a little искуснее is greased, and a little увереннее chattered about exhibition of the horses, but his(its) son and daughter were such self-possessed and natty, as father house, and Niyl felt itself here on its place. When Sort, finally, ceased to circulate between guest, as the first secretary embassy, and has found time be changed with Niylom recollection about distant adolescence with basketball and beer in school locker, Niyl has solved that they with By birth - a typical officers and gentlemans and large business man, ready together, shoulder to shoulder, fight for high ideals and initiative american. Ksavie Peak was whole only spectre, born fantasy of the spectre, but Ash Devis - some workman of some laboratory. The Captain Kingsblad has carelessly asked the major Oldvika: - You saw the colour parts in fighting? I did not happen. - But as! In our crew was one blackenning tank part - a devil knows what is a, - sullen, undisciplined, we always happened to to nudge them onward during attack. There, there was one colour sergeant - well the most present bolshevik. No to address on location, always climb straight to general, through some unimproved-orderly, - endangerred the morale of the whole crew their own complaint that negro and carry and medication supply from white apart. Our will - uzh this black gentleman did not return to its beauty in blessed country of the liberty! Suddenly Niylu became clear that all this lie; the black soldiers were not such; but troublemaker sergeant, which Sort with pleasure укокошил - "this could be I!" - has thought Niyl. Bade;bid farewell he with By birth underlined politely. 17 Once he does not want to believe that amongst people of his(its) race much such, what their draws the Sort Oldvik, signifies, it is necessary to watch that this for people. Where possible понаблюдать them without hindrance? In cinema? In церкви? Probably, there is negro church in Grande-Ripablik, once colour population of the city forms already several thousand; probably, there is negroes, which go in church, as you think? (His(its) mother after all goes!) Usevshisi почистить loafers in entrance(approach) calve "Paynlend", he tender, than usually, has taken a look with heights of the easy chair on old Uosha, cleaner, teeny, on rarity незлобивого little old man, which called not at all Uosh, but George Grey and which happened to the дедушкой Belfride Grey. This was single the negro used by favor Rendi Spryusa, since he "knew its place and never forgot to remove the hat before white gentleman". There was in Uoshe something miserable, in his(its) ed, паучьей фигурке, in colour of his(its) skin, fast sulphur, than black. He has raised the eye on Niyla and from ancient запыленных recollection выволок some bad history about Belfride. The Thin голоском he запищал: - It is Correct have done, captain that турнули Belfridu from its building. This is most present wench, sir. I with her nothing do not mogu. - He hihiknul. - is Muddled with all распоследними ниггерами in city. Much they about itself understand, these young ниггеры, here, on North, and nothing with they will not do, yes, sir, nothing! Niyl has said with generosity of the young prince: - Well, not such uzh she foul, Belfrida. Simply years young. Say, Uosh... hm... where here beside us in city negro church? Uosh has become numb. He has by a narrow margin raised the head, in his(its) turbid eye appeared alarm, испытующее expression, and quite other voice, without deliberately "negro" accent, he has asked: - But you why this knows? - I wanted to visit there. - We do not love, when white come to laugh at us there, where we are prayed god. - A Honored word, Uosh, me and in head did not come to laugh. - But why else such person, as you, go to us? - I simply wanted closer to get acquainted with life negro quarter. - We do not love, when to we go crowd curious. - I shall come one and think that bag nobody not to insult. Niyl itself did not notice, as humbly he addresses hereto venerable старейшине its tribe. Uosh has muttered unwillingly: - Well that zh, mister, церквей beside us five or six, but I advise you to go in baptist, where преподобный Bruster serves - in Fayv Poynst, corner May-стрит and Omaha-avenue. I go itself there. We преподобный Bruster much likes - a big wit of the person. Niyl vaguely remembered that Black City in Grande-Ripablik carries the name "Fayv Poynts" and that May-стрит - his(its) main street. The Second FEDERAL RESERVE BANK there deal on mortage, and he several times happened to there to go, but he nothing there have not seen. About "преподобном Brustere" he heard for the first time in lifes, and when Uosh was once again takeаased his(its) loafers. Niyl with facetious ease of the white person pronounce: - That for surname - Bruster, fast suits for yankee, than for black man of the preacher. - But he and there is yankee. - A-a! - He - as this is identified - a ph.d. Niyl instinctively smiled: as beside this negro all ed in head! - You want to say: doctor of the theology? But Uosh persisted, and in his(its) meek remark once again ed light призвук done south accent: - No, sir! He this most degree ph.d has got in Harlem, from Columbian university. - A Doctor Bruster, doctor Devis. That, on May-стрит there is degree beside all? - No, sir, somebody from us too early were born for this. The White person in captain Kingsblade grew circumspect: "Yes this old horseradish, seems, is dared it is necessary me!" He has lain the News. In this sunday june morning he has said her that goes to Put-andy, on morning meal of the Assotiations Veteran Wars. He has recalled the cock-and-bull stories, which braided in Minnesotskom History society, and has thought that becomes the tempted liar. He доехал before Fayv Poynts in bus, will further go on foot. May-стрит nothing did not differ from any trade street of the petty bourgeois fringe, same затрапезный type, same noisy facades wooden shop with crudely daubed signboard. In quarter between Denver- and Omaha-avenue were two drugstores, quite look like accustomed eye of the treasure house Silivan-parka, with such exhibition of the bottles of mineral water, prayer book, aspirin, rubber soul and inevitable "Banner фронтира". Cooperative The Grocery Commissary, grocery shop "Aging England", shop электрооборудования with restored radio on shop window - all reminded him anglo-saxon city Grande-Ripablik; reminded him(it) and Myasotorgovlya Lyustgartena - старенький dwelling, where street floor was hastily перелицован under trade premises, but in втором dried on rope master's linen. But the whole this знакомая bustle immediately became Niylu someone else as soon as he realized that in populous crowd on sidewalk is not seen nor one white person. Beside запертых doors, under tablet "Place to sleep 75 cents" stood the small circle sound negroes-worker, looked at it unfriendly, as on uninvited guest, - than he, inherently, and was; spoke they on idiom of the Extreme South more, which he could not understand. Further the young lad попался toward in ультрамодном suit: желтая atheletic jacket, bright trousers, остроносые shoe and blackenning hat with broad fields. Further out went on bridge two drunk, embraced and sing loud voice, but there appeared, finally, and classical "black man нянюшка" with plump chocolate person, осклабившимся from beneath yellow with red triangular kerchiefs. But when he has peeked in some lane, he has seen that for чистенькими stuccoed cottage with neat палисадничком of such slum begin before each that it is difficult was believe, really can exist anything like in staff of the enlightened North: hovel on hovel, in three, in four rows, mowned собачьи kennels, in what nor one respecting itself dog did not become live, with debris of the iron pipe on roof. On all free space between hovel were swum about вперемешку of the dog, hens and nacked brown children. He became terribly. "If I change in negro, signifies, News and Biddi must will move here?" And this feeling that it is impossible, impossible him to become "colour", all fixed in him, when he went by закусочной on Beat-стрит and saw in fogged up window dark heel persons, with malice turned to white person, tourist appeared in their трущобную wilderness; when he drew even with night clubs "Bugi-Vugi" and has recalled that master his(its) - very buddy Belfridy, sardonic Borus Bagdoll that haved a lot of laughs on Kingsbladami in their own kitchen. Previously shop fitted in this house; now, the whole shop window occupied the sea sink from gilded gypsum, but in her, in wreath from silver fur big shot, interweaved poisonous-green tape, shown off the enormous amounts a photography nearly naked black dancer. This street was Niylu more someone else, than some italian village during war, and he seemed that each dark person, each mowned wall дышит hate to him, and so will always, and there is no need him was come here. But all this lasted only five minutes while he slowly went on sidewalk, but for sixth minute magic charm scattered and he has saw themselves amongst crowd, nothing not differring from any gathering благочестивых american townsfolk, except realy that that person here were more noticeably well-treated sun. This fold of the doctor Brustera enjoyed the sunday gossip and in expectation of, when bell will call them in church: good-natured, purely выбритые men in sunday suit, such, what and is accepted to put on in sunday; full-grown families, worrisome skinny or cosily дебелые, with talk about that that writes from army son; the boys in too close-fitting shoe, washed before unholy sunday purity, and девочки, щеголяющие grandeur of the sunday garb; the venerable old man, on whose гравюрных image запечатлена long and righteous life; the cheerful infant, which do not yet know that they negroes, and воображают itself simply infant. The Half of crowd formed scolded северяне, and speech their did not differ from speech of any inhabitant of the Minnesota; they too looked at Niyla a little mistrustful, but he already did not feel itself uninvited guest, as before idle mocker on Beat-стрит. The Baptist church was an чистеньким, extended lengthwise by brick construction with absurd tiny колоколенкой. In narrow window, the wooden covers which narrowed in timid imitation готике up, are inserted were colour flow with biblical text. On this attempts to revive the gothic style finished. Zadrebezzhal small bell, and peace crowd rushed on stair крыльца; Niyl halfhearted has followed rest. Inwardly church was shown Niylu more to look like masonic loge, than on god's temple. The Wall were облицованы dry plaster, neatly nailed carnation with red шляпками, and such neat and gray stretched the direct rows a pew. The tablets hunged On wall with text, gold(en) on black, and picture, expressing black saint Augustine Karfagenskogo. Ahead of, on rise, already was going to the chorus, nine girls in black mantle and tetragonal шапочках. A milk whiteness was Beside two girls skin. The Full surprise for Niyla, which itself was a baptist well-mannered in contempt to pagan побрякушкам Rome, was an improvised altar, coated by paneled lace by tablecloth, and on him cross, decorated by forged jewels. He stood on threshold in confusion, exactly sick, for the first time found oneself in receiving unacquainted physician. Suddenly they get angry, ask his(its) уйти? But usher, already hurried to him on tiptoe, negro with black, as black silk, person, with flattened by nose and толстыми lip, smiled so tender, as if wanted to say that in божьем house all friends. On him was иссиня-gray suit in herringbone - exactly such, as the last new acquisition of the doctor Kingsblada. He politely дотронулся before локтя Niyla, tale him(it) on passage, stopped, did ceremonious inviting gesture, and negro career Niyla was enriched by new achievement: he sowed;sown between two black mans by people, and he was shown that this people as people. On the left sat the small woman, who all time stirred the lip in hasty silent prayer and has not turned on it no attention; on the right turned out to be the large man, black, as coal, probably, carpenter or house painter, who friendly smiled in response to embarrassed nod Niyla. He has peeked in printed on mimeograph frob and wondered, read title sermon: "Deliverance from doom". That this will - some sleazy, laughable negro nonsence, невзирая on splendid although and doubtful, scientist rank preacher, or simply one more portion that tasteless baptist cud, which Niyl to got accustomed to comsume (approximately once at month) with most infancy? And here from узенькой lateral door преподобный doctor Iven Bruster appeared near altar. He замер in short calculated to pause to dribble the eye whole its fold, and interrogative glance detained on Niyle. But if and was certain theatrics in his(its) output, in the following мгновенье she already disappeared; the doctor Bruster is charged ed with in chorus, has whispered something come usher (Niyl испугался, uzh not on his(its) count) and passed to pulpit, - a spiritual shepherd in its temple, certain and calm. Iven Bruster was a person of the big growing with shoulder of the longshoremen, black, as japanese varnished small box, and he had a curly hairs, flat nose, выпяченные lips, sloping forehead - all classical take;receive negro with become familiar Niylu popular picture, expressing, as black idler hits upon good white policeman. Exactly at glance on such, as he, swoon лилейно-gentile white lady, and though Niyl was not so слабонервен, all he became the unpleasant that shrine of the baptist faith profanes this fighter-heavyweight, closed its threadbare blue suit strict pleat пасторского of the vestment. The Doctor Bruster silently looked at прихожан, and little-by-little Niyl has allowed itself to acknowledge that never, nor in one human glance not видал he such kindnesses, such softness, such open and manly weasel, such неизбывной любви to the whole alive and to most lifes. And speech him(it), when he has spoken, was a speech of the person, выросшего in cultural family, учившегося in solid university, person, made additionally gratis frantic oratory. - I address to you, friends my, - and first of all to one, in this day for the first time with us, - not to sing us for begin "VWVrepeat over and over again abutment, about святители господни"? This is true "Combat hymn of the republic" at our alarm days. Iven Bruster has really got the degree a ph.d from Columbian university, but besides, learned;learnt in Harvard and in theological of the seminaries, which students honour the saint whitsunday - a Father, and Sociology, where Father there is symbol, Son - a poetical myth, but Sociology - something with rose nimbus around forehead. But subsequently base to his(its) lifes become religion and race question. He was born in массачусетской to hamlet with elm and white bell tower, in family tailor, which awl on white customer. Now him was for fourty, beside it was a calm wife, daughter by name Tenkful and son Uintrop, which learned;learnt in school and found the outstanding abilities to physicist. When doctor Bruster has only arrived in Grande-Ripablik to carry its folk a word god's, church he served sleazy хибарка in Svid-холлоу. On his(its) eye for this groups of ten of the years negro population выросло with three- or четырехсот of the person before two thousand; on his(its) eye black immigrants from both Carolina or Texas, too self-conscious or too noisy, changed in people of the republic; on his(its) eye young people went to learn in college, became the officer, began to write for negro newspapers. The Finns, poles, scandinavians have filled Svid-холлоу, rent sharply increased (the care loved client Second FEDERAL RESERVE BANK) and doctor Bruster tale its fold and many other negro from Svid-холлоу to abandoned lot and marsh future Fayv Poynts. When was built new church, he itself along with their own прихожанами worked at laying sewer, but his(its) meek wife Korinna boilled the man coffee and distributed the prayer books, but sister in Hriste loaned its lipstick. The Judge Kess Timberleyn has said once upon a time that doctor Iven Bruster - a most clever person in Grande-Ripablik. This was not quite fair to Suini Fishbergu, or doctor and mrs Kamber, or to chemist from уоргейтовской of the laboratory by name Ash Devis and Koup Anderson, or, finally, to most judge Timberleynu. But nobody from mentionned worthy people could be not compared to Ivenom Brusterom in his(its) любви to страждущему mankind. The Friends Niyla Kingsblada never heard about doctor Brustere. When запели hymn - without absurd syncopes or tractile подвывания, which why-that is considered typical of negro melody, but quite simply, what sing in any evangelical церкви America, - Niyl became to stare to surrounding his(its) people. Except four or five, comparatively which he varied, all of these belonged to to "colour". Only two were him introduce;make familiar with: Uosh, wise shoeshine boy, which presently in its двубортном turn blue the coat in accuracy resemble(go)ed on small, тихонького, patriarchal-good-looking banker-jew, and mrs Higbi, cook to judges Timberleyna. After hymn all listened reading the gospel, and here Niyl has done the opening: beside he disappeared the feeling that this people of the other race, someone else, not such, as he. That beside all they had cognate - a colour of the skin, курчавость hair, - was shown so more significant, than the individual particularities each that they ceased to be a negro and ed the people, which be possible interested, which possible love and hate. Iven Bruster in its грубоватой courageousnesses already did not seem him ugly, opposite, in he was felt value, as it is felt it in american bear grizzly bear, and Niyl vaguely was ashamed over-confidence an арийцев, declared own rueful анемичность ideal of the human beauty. He was not enjoying tourist; his(its) drived nerve-racking need to get to know its folk. The Vision his(its) обострилось, he clear distinguished now all variety tone skins beside these negro - from agate-black before parchment and creamy, with copper low tide, with lemon-желтым; but through two rows from he sat the person with pale, густо freckle by person and nearly such redheads hair, as beside most Niyla, but all without any doubt - a negro. He became to find in them resemblance with familiar white people. The Halitosis that толстая and, probably, peevish woman, who with such pious alacrity sang the hymn, - certainly, this mrs Bun Havok. Graceful, stylish lady in pulled over on eye black шляпке, with which струится the mauve vail, in pearl earringses, standing out on dark neck, - mrs Don Penloss, but haughty person, which white всякой white and even so certainly not "blanching", - not who other, as exquisite Osier CHamperis. The Neighbour on the right, smiled him and preventive пододвинувший prayer book, revealled on necessary page, - very carpenter scottish-irish nationality, beside which he boy wangled long, gentile завитки shaving, чтоб do itself of them wig and beard, or simply on kindling for campfires. Only presently, astir staring to palm of the carpenter, Niyl has for the first time understood, as beautiful can be a human hands. With rear sides they were dark-sulphur of the colour, but palm seemed such rose, as beside Niyla, only more dark raid hid in pleat; and ногти too were rose. Such hand well to tear away the rotted through boards, keep the gavel, direct the incisor, iron the baby head. "Can be, such hands will die to do something получше, than remove the rows of the numerals in ledger", - an вздохнул Niyl. He tried to check, really they so is smell(blowed in). Like majority american, he simple-hearted believed that all negro inherent especial opposite scent, and now he became concentrated to sip the nose. Some well-marked spirit tickled his(its) nostrils, but this plowed the soap, mothball and прачечной, what smell(blows in) in warm sunday morning in all церквах of the world, white, black, желтых or copper-red. Verily his(its) attempts to get into secret of its folk failled since he could not find no differences between this folk and that, others, which too was for it "its" and people which were identified white. Having Recognized in doctor Brustere severe beauty primitiv bronze statue and animated beauty coptic saint under sultry sun of the deserts, he was able to value and ravenous beauty of the women(woman) in pearl earringses and become cool, merry девичью beauty their own very young соседок, typical american schoolgirls. 18 The Sermon of the doctor Brustera was long and solemn. Can Not be a dooms therefor, who believes in salvation, stated his(its) thesis, ибо such a will господня and love him(it). Not much could почерпнуть here young bank employee, desired to hear, what enter the person, who god created white, but laws separate god-fearing staff have transformed in black. Such sermon possible was hear in any рокфеллеро-gothic церкви on Heel avenue, Michigan-avenue or Gollivudskom boulevard. For Niyla, in his(its) rising longing to separate the truth from fiction, this sermon was too академичной and thinned, too "white". His(its) have more made the wild dances under sound of the tom-tom, atavistic echoes custom his(its) black limit, - but here for the whole sermon religious ecstasy was shown in two-three жиденьких "hallelujah" only and one cheer: "Voistinu so, about gentlemen!" Niyl was even pleased, when Columbian-Harvard-Seminarskaya infallibility gave the rift and doctor Brustera has torn several biblical-slang turn. Exactly, with triumph thought Niyl. This already more reminds the sermon south negro-shepherds in transfer south gentleman-journalist, with especial taste quoted By birth Oldvikom, - a sermon, in which black man to interpreters of the word божьего are expressed approximately so: "Brother and sisters! break Me god if the whole this gang idler is not ruined in геенну burning, when approaches the hour, amen!" "If uzh I the negro, so I want to listen such sermon, which жгли. And, can be, this not even so bad - finish for ever with roll and cheques and bridge on evening. R to conk, Kingsblad! If you will caught and catch openly to acknowledge itself negro, you try to be a quiet of water, below herbs - if only good white gentlemen does not прогневались that your toadstool Biddi goes in school together with their nice деточками. But by the way, our white baptist preacher, dock Banser, too speaks about геенну burning and remembers sometimes god without necessity. The Devil knows that! Are going to with spirit to change in negro, but it appears that and change not in that, nothing such especial in negro no. Don't care that martyr, взойдя on campfire, has found that fire only pleasantly warms him(it). Even bored! Nothing, not беспокойся. You will forget about tedium, when irishman-conductor вытолкает you and Biddi from теннессийского of the bus, but мужлан-police will dislodge you pair teeth, but макаронник-secret agent will grasp Biddi and will sneer on her, but... cease, cease Itself to torment! Here and now cease!" Let Niylu did not like the sermon, sounded too in this modest temple pretentious, but its reading aloud from holy scripture doctor Bruster deeply взволновал him(it). Niyl was not a big connoisseur of the theatre, but he was recalled scene of the insanity Lira, when pastor deep, heartfelt voice pronounced the word an извечной complaints all black племен, all folk of the Orient, all womans, all sick and frantic and загубленных by poverty: "Unylo watched the eye my to the sky: "Gentlemen! Closely me; rescue me... Shall Quietly conduct all years to lifes my, litter горесть showers my... Here is, in good me was strong горесть, and you has saved the shower my from trench of the dooms... Ibo not hades glorifies you, not Death lauds you, not нисшедшие in grave hope on truth tvoyu. _Живой, only alive will glorify you, as I nyne_"..." Listeners quietly moaned: "Was you under that, as распяли gentlemen god our?" - afterwards have immediately jumped to merry jazz rhythm: "Only two words with Jesus, and all will well!" - and before взором Niyla was suddenly opened timber вырубка, on which went the people, as if cast from honeys or выточенные from ebony, they went in circuit, under конвоем white, on hummock, on swamp, toward getting up sun, and quietly sang, and laughed occasionly. "This my past, - has thought Niyl, - my folk; I must be opened him". 19 Else during sermon Niyl has paid attention to family, taken seats in the same row, through passage: father, oldster of the years sixty, mother, son military in stripe of the captain, making look younger woman with child on hand, which, it is necessary to say, behaved exemplary, and girl not senior seventeen. Beside all they had serious, intelligent persons, and all, except realy dark young full-grown, easy could descend for white if b only was not seen on the whole that they here their own. Where he met this military? Suddenly he has understood that this very "colour boy", which all school years was taught with him in one class, - all his(its) respected, but nobody with him not дружил. Amongst white девочек were found even such, which he as it is woke;waked liked, but once upon a time his(its) have chosen the monitor of the class. As his name is? Ah yes: Emerson Vulkeyp. Niyl afterwards heard that this Vulkeyp has opened the dental cabinet in Fayv Poynts, where has wound the advanced easy chair and x-rays and even ассистентку in snow-white robe, quite as beside заправского of the physician. Niylu, son persisting дантиста, this was in due course shown немножко funny. But now he has not saw here nothing funny, either as in that fact that Vulkeyp too consists in captain rank though in петлицах beside it instead of valorous firearm shows off only winged truncheon with letter "D", in token that that his(its) profession not to kill the people, but - that vastly more militant and noble - whole only cure him teeths. Niylu was recalled, as else boy he once upon a time saw all family Vulkeypov on picnic on high coast Sorshey-River. They were situated around white with red tablecloths, spread out on stone, and sang in chorus, and Niyl then with envy has thought that beside it in family never so merrily does not can be. And - well yes! - an oldster Vulkeypa he not once met afterwards in building "Taverny naiads", where that served the caretaker and boilerman. But presently nothing in he did not remind of mop and rubbish pail. His(its) gray suit sat flawlessly, tie was tied by stylish node, but head with black turning gray hat hair, горделиво откинутая back, reminded the head of the roman senator. Niyl observed solemn centrality John Vulkeypa and beforehand grew cold at thoughts about that, what fate waits his(its) most in this world, his(its) own праттовском world, where for person with such animated by look was not sewn on other occupations, except dirty полурабского of the labour. He emphatically convinced itself that, as nor great his(its) empathy to this negro, too uzh much he risks to lose if will declare itself one of them. But - "should like that I possess dignity of this oldster", - sighed he. On behalf of mrs Vulkeyp was something uncommonly familiar. Niyl at all could not understand that while suddenly did not guess that she strangely looks like his(its) mother. He flinched, did not believe, has once again taken a look. She seemed senior his(its) full-grown and somehow simultaneously спокойнее and решительнее, but her(its) skin of the colour of the phony honey, her(its) точеный nose, her(its) small timid mouth, glance, full self-denial, - in all was this resemblance, and he has suddenly felt that with her and with her(its) семьей his(its) links something greater, than aging legend about border vagrant in moccasin. This was a woman, who he with joy has answered on any question, and in her(its) smile and weasel he could find the consolation. - A Gentlemen yes пребудет with us, when we in separation, will yes save us from doom and will yes shade the благодатью an своею... Iven Bruster has lingered, his(its) eye watched on Niyla straight, miraculous friendly smile has illuminated his(its) person, and he has agreed: -...the благодатью своею all us, богатых and нищих, black and white - ибо all we his(its) children. The Chorus african girl, which were an american girl, запел: "Yes святятся the tie, bound us!" But all have around got up, and magic charm were broken, only Niyl else sat, завороженный. When together with the last from прихожан he двинулся to door, he has felt their embarrassment; they did not know that brought his(its) here - an empathy or curiosity and as with him to be - bow or not to notice. But that of them, who was by birth with South, knew on experience: for the best do either or both of them and fast be taken away a little farther. The Doctor Bruster stood in door, прощаясь with leaving, and to Niylu he addressed just as to all rest: - Pleasantly was see you today amongst us, brother my. Conditional стандартность phrases did not like Niylu, but realy doctor Banser did not speak such phrases? Shaking preacher hand (now he already trained and did this enough naturally), Niyl has closer discerned his(its) person: he had heavy, a little припухшие beside bridges of nose upper ages, sweaty, as beside farm worker, skin and power of the farm worker in handshake, but in eye were reflected all sufferings of the world with timeses of the Calvary. Niyl, little bewildered, came down with крыльца, not feelling reliefs that's why that test ended; he was not on itself in this workaday world of the street, where neither from casual white passer-by, nor from black playboys and idler нечего was wait the keennesses Ivena Brustera. He long stood and looked at towered through road cinema "Ethiopia", exactly this was to say the least SHartrskiy cathedral. He not has immediately noticed that near by he cost(stand) Vulkeypy, discussing with neighbour to sunday news. The Captain Emerson Vulkeyp, see, has heard Niyla, but did not calculate that Niyl will hear him(it), and much wondered, when Niyl awkwardly мотнул head and has mumbled: - I was shown that this you, дружище, but I was not certain. We after all were not seen with most schools. Vulkeypy considered him(it) in silence, which was not yet neither favorable, nor hostile. He заторопился, стремясь, itself not knowing why, dispose them to itself: - But know, I after all you all at one time saw on picnic, litter, I have even felt sorry then that I not in your companies. They all have sprained the lips in resemblance of the polite smile, but Niyl continued emphatically, as if solved to like this people, at least for this happened to to interrupt their all singly: - Miserable that me earlier never was brought hear the doctor Brustera. E-e... say, captain... you too visitted in Europe? - Yes, was certain vremya. - Emerson has unwillingly done that, what required politeness: - Allow you to introduce, captain Kingsblad: my wife, you, probably, know her(its) father, Drexel Grinsho from "Fiezole", and our son. My father, my mother, but this making look younger maiden - my niece Feba... The Ma, I told you about mister Kingsblade, we with he learned;learnt together. Beside all Vulkeypov was such type, as beside детей, which already шаркнули drumstick uncle and consider that now possible to vamoose to its toy. But this Niyl has firmly solved to disturb, at least even in the prejudice of own pride. This family has suddenly gained significant importance for it. When person negro will be born at thirty one years, he needs the family. The Courtships and подлаживания was not in nature Niyla; but presently he has talked with Emersonom nearly заискивающе: - You in what party, captain? I bad know this part of city. Instead of Emersona откликнулась his(its) mother, tender and heartily: - About, go together, captain, us on road. John and Mayors Vulkeyp veins on distance of one quarter from церкви, but Emerson on proximity with them. Going by tiny пасторского of the lodge, John has done the attempt to tie the talk: - As you liked the sermon, captain Kingsblad? We all much high value the doctor Brustera. Vulkeypov has surprised that this white banker - has arrived here, probably, anything reconnoitre on its part! - has answered with such fervour: - He has struck simply me необыкновенным by combination of power and softness. This saint - but clever person! - Well, he such master to cook and play in skittles that to saint him(it), probably, will not rank, but we all his(its) much love, - has said mrs Vulkeyp, and Niyl has felt that she is trace dared on him and on his(its) pose critiques-amateur. But he has solved that smile his(its) does not собьют. He has attentively looked over пасторский lodge, sleazy one-story строеньице, - three-four комнатушки, must be, and all together area a little more, than his(its) modest drawing room in Silivan-park. The neat занавески loomed In window, but on крылечке by value three pots geranium stood with handketchief. - Malovat lodge for such big men. Beside it and wife there is? - Yes, wife and two детей. The Doctor Bruster and that speaks that to all has been enough the place, happens to to sleep on lash, but cat and bath to keep in dutch oven, and library too - all three books! - has said mister Vulkeyp. His(its) wife запротестовала: - Uzh, please, John, you fine know that beside Ivena beautiful library, possible only wonder under his(its) salary - a hundreds of the books, all novelties, and Myurdali, and Rayt, and Lengston Hiyuz, and is Blushed Lokk, - and what only no! On she mellow laughed a little, what can be in family, where all love each other. Niyl caught on to possibility to continue the talk: - Receipts small, much pay him, you, probably, can not. Offensively even so. John has answered with value: - Yes, we can not pay much. We and themselves all earn гроши. А beside Ivena - beside doctor Brustera - a children else learns and here is to reduce the end with the end, he happens to the evening to work at mail. But he not a bit does not be ashamed of this. Else jests: rejoice, speaks that beside you preacher, which serves in state institution, rather then begs under window. And afterwards, - has finished he горделиво, - Iven not idle time workman, but managing, and beside it even white subordinated there is! - And even so, - did not agree Niyl, - terribly that such person, scientist, formed, must spend time for sorting the letters... - Nothing terrible we in this do not see, - has objected mister Vulkeyp. - Us pleasantly that преподобный doctor Bruster at free time works side by side with us, plain folks, instead of that to cool off and dream beside itself in cabinet. Particularly this likes my younger son Rayanu - he presently building, in furlough from army, only today has not wanted to go in church. He beside us, know, немножко with left idea. - Here is, here is, here is, captain Kingsbladu, probably, terribly interesting our household deals. You has else told about шестипалого puppy, which us had at before last year, - has stung the Mayors Vulkeyp and has stretched Niylu hand, прощаясь. But Niyl purposely has not noticed her(its) hands. They confronted the house Vulkeypov, which was much the same, as house Ivena Brustera, - small, one-story, чистенько bleached; stood and did not move, and Niyl too stood and did not move so finally John Vulkeypu did not remain nothing other as soon as say: - Can be, will call at to us? And Niyl зашел, not taking care of that, appropriately this or no, he has transgressed the threshold for хозяевами right behind, firmly solved that because of such trifle, as conventionalities and decebcies, will not miss the possibility to get into essence of the things. He has intercepted the surprised glances Emersona and his(its) father, in which clear was read: "That it is necessary from us this bank sleuth? Again some provocative figments white?" He tried to install the tone of the meeting old schoolmates: - Remember, captain, beside us was a tutoress of the algebra - present aging brood hen. Emerson smiled: - Yes, with whim was an old woman. - But, in general, good soul. Somehow once after lesson she has said me: "Niyl if will well know the algebra, someday governor of the staff". - Really, captain? - In intonations Emersona was something trace oskorbitelinoe. - But me she once after lesson has said, taking care, on her(its) wordses, only about my good that for boy-negro to study the algebra "the most net waste of time" and better I learned;learnt the preparation sauce for hot. Priyateliskaya atmosphere immediately завяла. Vulkeypy mistrustful slanted on Niyla, expecting, when is finally opened true purpose of his(its) visit... Can be, banks now send the agent on life insurance? - Excuse me, I do not be going to to disturb you. I know, you want the поскорей to sit for its sunday dinner, and I presently leave, but me only much, much it is necessary to realize some belongings that is to say I want to say, I hardly at all do not know... hm, hm... about this part of the city, but me certainly it is necessary поближе hear... this part of city. The Thought, which Niyl vain tried to express, was - "поближе hear the negro". But he did not know, what word to use - "negro", or "colour", or "ethiopian", or this bulky word-building "афроамериканцев", or else anything. That will sound least offensively? Somehow once in Italies he heard, as one black man soldier рявкнул on the other: "Hey you, ниггер, turn round!" - but he has already haved time to to hear that in general negroes do not love this word. He quite was lost. Hozyaeva now watched the ласковее. - That you should like to from us to hear, captain Kingsblad? - has asked Emerson. Whence they know about his(its) captain rank? Can be, and truth speak, is woke;waked all negroes participate in secret community, purpose which - истребить all white people, devilish cunning, but ferocious, monstrous cabal, sinister, as black clubs of the smoke on midnight костром, alight for human жертвоприношения; and for each white persons watch, and all his(its) action bring in special книжечки for information of the witch doctors and communist agent? He oppressive wanted to ask beside them one: "Become me, negro, negro?" Podyskivaya word to formulate somehow this question, he was looked over around. Seamingly, person of the average mental abilities нечего to wonder that that in house beside not rich negro with elementary taste and love to order all look absolutely in the same way, as in house beside any other not rich american with elementary taste and love to order. That, strictly, you expected to see, angrily asked itself Niyl. ZHertvennik cult вуду? The Tom-tom and leopard skin? The Dices and бутыль маисовой of vodka? Or picture of the cyst Eldzira Kortora and photographies Hayle Selassie, Walter Uayta and Pushkin with собственноручными inscription? Yes, obviously, he waited what-that необыкновенного. Probably if he and his(its) friends were not attorney and merchant, but caretaker and boilerman, their гостиные looked exactly in the same way: same threadbare rug on sex, soft easy chair with running board, couch, раскрашенные ashtrays, radio in box of the mahogany, lady journal and mediocre reproductions with mediocre still life. "News liked this room, and she certainly has noted that beside mrs Vulkeyp purities and order more, than beside our Wool". But he has then and there torn off its lie and with pain has acknowledged that impossible even momentarily to visualize the News here, in contact with these people, people one shelters with him. Meantime they waited, and was necessary answer. - I wanted to ask here is that - do not know only, be as it were expressed пояснее, - understand, occurred some circumstance, because of which I wanted получше get acquainted with you - with... - Speak "with negro", - has said John Vulkeyp. - Or - "with colour". We on this do not take offence, - has said his(its) wife in the same way, either as he, simply and even condescending. - A Ma wants to say, - вмешался Emerson, - that both these names to us deeply opposite, but we consider their several more rough, than "ниггер", or "swarthy", or "негритос", or "gorilla", or else one of that moniker, which white diggers express its superiority on negro bishop. We think that pass else several decennial events, previously than us shall learn to name simply "american" or "people". - Do Not be заносчив, Emerson! - has pulled down his(its) otec. - You rights about moniker, but with what this times diggers not such people, as bishops? I and itself - a garbage collector! But if captain Kingsblad wants to question us about negro, - I use exactly this word, - we shall willingly say him all that know. Emerson has hastily caught: - Certainly, shall say. I did not want be shown заносчивым. I only do not love, when I stigmatize, as cattle. But, by the way, captain if you want to hear the persisting fiery speech of race question - wait while come my brother Rayan. He only twenty three years, but he will die to reason so VWXbe clever and so absurdly, as it is woke;waked him ninety. He in furlough presently, - until it was demobilized, either as I; he is a sergeant and deeply despises us, captains! Rayan served in India, and listen him(it), so will think that he is charged водился and with Gandi and with Neru, only possible, they this has not noticed. And in Burma he too was. The Mentioning about military service has winnowed to that that beside two veterans was tied its, army talk. The Captain and военврач Emerson Vulkeyp was a the present soldier on type, on speech, on the whole закалке, and Niyl has thought that if he and is deprived charms great военачальника Rodneya Oldvika, that anyway does not transfer him in авторитетности judgements about сверхмощных bomber, ration, colonel and seasickness. All now already did not stand, but sat, but one only Niyl held certain and at ease. The Niece Emersona, Feba, about which was hitherto said much little, listenning monotonous conversation two venerable вояк, longed for, what longed for on her(its) place any other семнадцатилетняя american. This was a pretty, грациозная girl, choked by its youth, with such golden head, as beside Biddi, with such gentile color, as beside Dzhoan, sisters Niyla, only more living and restless. When was opened door and in room has flown the youth of her(its) years, she so and came off with place him toward. Beside youths was much blackenning skin, negro facial features; and all in its turn blue the sunday suit, in beige sweater with brown edging beside gates he seemed the most common schoolboy - a bosom by wheel, type free and independent, probably, even too free and independent, either as beside ensemble his(its) white товарищей, pretty poisonning life querulous-careful mentor. - Uintrop Bruster, son of our pastor. They with Feboy arranged today to lunch in Dulute, - has said mrs Vulkeyp, as it is woke;waked speech went not about trip for seventy with spare miles, but the whole only about walk on park. Uintrop буркнул: "Much pleasantly", - Feba выпалила: "You me, please, excuse me", - obviously rejoicing possibility to dispose of society thirty-year oldster, - and they were carried away in cloud of dust, such cloud пробензиненной dust, in what whole years twelve ago sped;speeded away from parental eye other pair american junker - Niyl and News. But mrs Vulkeyp was ed, swing head, - just as complained then calm mother News: - A Trouble to me with this девочкой. Feba our granddaughter. She has no neither father, nor full-grown, we with grandparent for it all. The Honored word, I at school years such was not. Uzh, seems, влюблена in Uintropa Brustera, and thank god: Uintrop remarkable youth, he will be знаменитым by specialist on physicist or - as this? - an electronics, - here is let only enters in college. But for Feby, see, he too serious and too pedantic, and here is it appears that our maiden влюблена already not only in it, but also in Bobby Gauza, there is here such vaudeville dancer, and as far back as our соседей, Leo Yensinga - and преспокойно speaks of this aloud. But Leo in addition white, this already quite altogether bad. - But you so do not love white? - wondered Niyl. John Vulkeyp did not give the wife to answer: - Here is visualize. I her always dialect: shame on you formed woman (я-то after all only grade school окончил) unfair convict the safe race. try Approach peacefully and equitably - and will find amongst white not less clever and good people, than amongst negro... But intermarriages I and itself not approve, simply therefore that there is much people, and white and black, which is not given in lifes of happiness, and here is, when they see the man and woman of the different races, which for the sake of любви to one another did not be afraid гонений society, they try выместить on them its insult. Certainly, race prejudice and itself absurdity, but they else intertwined with figment about superiority of the high classes, - take at least Docherey American Revolution or english aristocracy (this I from books know), - so from them it is impossible simply отмахнуться, as it is impossible отмахнуться from syphilis, to which they, apropos, much similar. - John! - an воскликнула mrs Vulkeyp. - But therefore, - continued her(its) husband, - shall say you on shame, captain Kingsblad if Feba has wanted to leave for white, I itself do not know that I have done - has put her(it) under lock or has threw its uniform service cap and with weapon in hand became protect her(its) right on happiness. - Well well, John, rather race talk, - has said mrs Vulkeyp, however, only for decebcy. The Wife Emersona has in the interim taken its child and has left home - several diversionary. Niyl understood that all wait, when he finally распрощается. - I presently leave, here is only... Say me - gravely be a negro? Here, beside us, on North, well - in Grande-Ripablik? You do not think, I not from curiosity. I terribly it is necessary to know. The Oldsters Vulkeypy without words consulted with Emersonom, and Emerson had charge of all: - Yes, gravely, much. The Mother has corrected him(it). - Not always. The Most we forget that we bets, and concern with each its deal, not thinking about race problem, not thinking about its special, exclusive position. But sometimes suffer unbearably, and not as much for itself as for one, you roads, and I understand other young, which wind the speech about machine gun, - a bad speech, but I their understand. Niyl bent its: - But, honored word, I not to argue, mrs Vulkeyp, me simply it is necessary to know. I know that in the south this terribly, but here, on North, after all does not exist the prejudice, well, beside separate people there is, certainly, but law their does not encourage. As far as i know, - with pride has added he, - in our staff is even issued a law about civil rights, on which negroes have a free access in any restaurant. Take Febu, take your - realy they happened to someday to feel the discrimination on itself? - A Captain, - has said Emerson. - We with you together learned;learnt in school. I considered you glorious small, good and direct, and see that not to mistaken. You did not love to offend nobody from товарищей, and beside us with you was much total interests: the sport, mathematics, political economy. And all for twelve years you nor reek have not said me nothing, except "good morning", and that with such type, is woke;waked you not certain, cost(stand)s. Niyl has noded the head: - Faithfully. And now already late feel sorry about this. Though I stinger. But Feba belongs to to the other generation. She, I seem, lives in the same way easy, either as my sister. The Mayors Vulkeyp, meek mother, suddenly вскричала: - She else девочка, and she presently only gets acquainted with that everyday feeling of the humiliation, on which is doomed each negro, particularly here, on self-complacent North. IN THE SOUTH we speak simply and clear: you - a dog, VWVget accustomed to its kennel, and then will you from master fat bone and good word. But here us assure that we persisting people, allow us to hope and speculate, and therefore constant reminders of our ostensibly inferiority, casual impudent insults for us sensitive, than awe before lynching for our south brother. The Humiliation! Here is word, sense which you, white, should hear получше! But worse whole us, that, beside who light skin. We that and deal get acquainted with people, which _не znayut_ and therefore pertain to us well, - and we, as fools, forget about caution. But here is at one beautiful day yesterday's friend you do not notice, or looks at you with contempt, or simply avoids meeting, and you understand that he has heard and friendship is finished. But if speak of black... The Discrimination on North? Her(its) no, but only each irritable passenger in bus or buyer in shop is looked over on you, as if rattlesnake has seen. Work further to kitchens or boiler you hardly become deserted, be you although seeds of the spens in лбу. The Young negroes dreamt about some future, finish the gaming den or buffer of the freight train since nobody does not want to give him possibility to feel itself on persisting work. Yes, you start inadvertently in restaurant - a law! - but so afterwards insult or humiliate that in next time you fast agree, remain hungry and fast agree to stroll on street whole winter night, than ask the number in so named get prettier calve. Here is we with John, when go somewhere, tolerate can not stop in hotel though us-that starts, but we think about our brother, doomed to wander on street. The Humiliation, humiliation, humiliation without the end while person does not break or, here is as we with John, will not take for rule to sit the building, nowhere go and as small as possible face white. But after all we not bad people, no, quite not bad. If b you knew, as good and gallant my husband! But my children, but my father, scientist зоолог, which... Forgive. This nerves. I understand, you, white person, funny listen, as old woman negro woman extols its unite! - No that you that you! - Niyl was infinitely растроган and is embarrassed. - Realy you did not read in humorous slip tale about swarthy insolent person? Did Not hear the anecdote about that, as Mendi and Rastus behave in guest? But Feba - you speak of new generation! Only last week one fifth-year mechanical engineer from garage - white though beside Feby skin much белее, - has said her that, probably, overslept with her, only him disgusting to sleep with negro woman. And even so this better, than in the south; there beside us one знакомая, colour, she has got under machine and expired the blood, but her(it) on wanted to take nor in one hospital for white, so she and has died on street - have killed! But here, when beside Feby in school, in that most, where and you learned;learnt, затеяли put the show, her not even distances to read anything on test, have said that all dug already portioned, but she through one turn white товарку has heard that this untruth. And there is beside them tutoress, who constantly slants on it and else on the other девочек, гречанок, итальянок, russian, and aloud reasons about that that "we, breakwater, leading its sort from inhabitants of the New England, do not need for explanations that here is exactly and exactly - an affair of honour". But at least once this does not threaten her(its) lifes, not that was with Bayardom, her(its) father. Bayard was our senior son. He prepared to become the teacher political spare. Okonchil Karlton-college - got a job on turn black work, if only learn, but окончил with difference - and wife itself has found, miraculous girl. He was born and вырос on North - yes, yes, I know that I inconsequential: certainly, South worse, else worse! But he вырос here, and him never happened to to face the legalized discrimination. He simply did not visualize that cultural, formed negro can in the south fall victim violences. He has left in Dzhorzhiyu, where his(its) great-grandfather was a slave on plantations, and has entered the teacher in negro college. He wrote me that when him first once попалась on eye tablet with heinous inscription "for colour" Only, he has as if seen the person, stealling up to to him with knife, and from awe and fury his(its) затошнило so it happened to to roll up with roads and come out of machine. But even so he wanted to follow the advice their own south familiar and comply with "rule of the play" though all rules in this play invents the enemy. Passed about month, and here is once upon a time policeman has stopped on road his(its) machine and became to confirm, is woke;waked machine stolen. This policeman met Bayarda near college and knew that he negro though and with light skin. The Villain behaved so warmed that Bayard was forgotten and became to answer; then his(its) have withdrewed in police body and have said that he intoxicate, - but he and beer never in mouth did not take! - he вспылил, and his(its) started to beat. They забили him(it) to death. My... His(its) beat long. While he not moderate;temper under blow on goal cement sex. He beautiful was, Bayard. Afterwards they have said his(its) wife, let better keeps quiet if wants доносить its child. She then was pregnant Feboy. After sort she run on North - an integer day quaked in бесплацкартном negro coach. She has not lived and year. He was very beautiful, Bayard, but they beat his(its) heel on head on cement sex, in dirt, in shelters, and here is he moderate;temper. The Mayors Vulneyp cried, without tear, quietly and beyond hope, and this was an страшнее whole. Niylu suddenly wanted to give her most big that only he has, and in the same minute he has heard the own voice: - I understand. I all understand since I have recently heard that I and negro itself. "Gosh right, I have said! Why I this has done, fool?" 20 - You have said that you themselves - a negro? We these thing not shutim. - John Vulkeyp, not such rosy, as Niyl, and therefore even more "white", looked strict glance at it. - I too do not be going to to jest! I have heard only nedavno. - Niyl felt that fell into a trap. Vulkeypy - a miraculous people, but quite not it is necessary that he turned out to be in their authorities. He continued, hurrying: - Can be, I have in vain said you. Nobody does not know, even parents and wife, but am afraid that this truth. The Whole only small admixture negro shelters, but under the law, acting in all staff nearly, I already считаюсь "colour". He wondered, not seen surprises on their person. The Persons were ungracious, severe. He has added with done by negligence: - That zh, see, come to become reconciled with this. John Vulkeyp has said the even voice: - Do Not mourn itself. Do Not wake the child. I here is already sixty five years "to accept" with that that I negro, "accept" somehow and my wife, and children, and a millions other decent people. Their glances were crossbreed, and Niyl, пристыженный, has retreated: - You absolutely rule;govern, mister Vulkeyp. I once again must ask the farewells beside you. Simply this so new for me that I have not yet haved time to to get accustomed to this thoughts. Even father and mother do not know nothing. I got acquainted with historian of our sort and suddenly came across on... on... - Beside white people this is identified "dab дегтя", - derisive has said Emerson. - a Hard deal, but? - To whom, as not you, know, lung it or hard, - огрызнулся Niyl. - John, Emerson, here and now cease to torment the boy, hear! - В the voice Mayors Vulkeyp was a maternal tenderness and maternal povelitelinosti. - Wholly understandable that he unnerved. The Poor boy! - She has embraced Niyla one hand for shoulder and легонько has kissed in cheek. This mother, his(its) mother consoled him(it). - How much you years, sonny? - has asked she low. - Thirty, nearly thirty one, mrs Vulkeyp. He a little has not named her(its) "ma". - Not so-that simply in these years suddenly to see the world, as he there is. But us, colour to not to meet with disaster, it is necessary well to know and its world and world white. Well, here is that, - mrs Vulkeyp has alterred by sawing on business, трезвый tone: - remain-ka with us to eat. The Wife does not get angry? Here is telephone, ring her. The News has said: "Please" and "well as there, beside veteran, merrily?" It Was Realized that in one attitude Mayors Vulkeyp justified the myth about "typical negro woman": cooked she splendid. But Niyl was not yet dispensed from primitive presentations, and therefore his(its) has surprised that in menu of the sunday dinner appeared not roasted hens and watermelon, but the most common aryan roast beef. Emerson perspired to eat home. On farewell he has said Niylu: - About that that you have told us, captain, I nobody to speak not shall while you themselves this will not want. But come to our club. The Pool for sail there, truth, no, but folk nice. They have shook to each other hands. They became the friends for twenty years behindhand. John вздохнул. - Rayan again is late. These are a present revolutionaries, probably, and on barricades will be late. Well, shall not wait him(it), Mayors! Let's to sit for table. So in this day Niyl has for the first time separated food with their own new friends - the most ancient and the most wide-spread symbol equality. Probably that he fast has felt itself as building, Vulkeypy started to tell him history of the families. John Vulkeyp was "colour" and herewith outwardly "white" that is to say possessed the skin розовато-brownish-сероватого tone, and nor reek in lifes he did not can be the южнее Ayovy or east Chicago. Was born he in North Dakota, where family his(its) was single "negro" семьей in county. His(its) father served on railway by senior trackwalkers, father his(its) father was in Georgia by slave, but after Civil war worked as a farm laborer in Florida, which he hardly seemed grow the tape measures and пляжных umbrella. John from childhood too worked at farm, dreamed of college or agricultural rate, but when he right before перешел from grade school in average, father his(its) moderate;temper, haved a drink under travell about come off freight-car, and John has entered the apprentice to rustic hairdresser. The Tonsorial craft has brought him(it) in 1902 in Grande-Ripablik, and here, at twenty two years, he has for the first time heard that signifies to be a negro. Before these times diplomatic art, to which life obliges the colour people, was him in the same way alien, as some Niylu Kingsbladu. The Son of the pious baptist and fault-free railwayman, senior irishman on десятком and swede, John never heard about that that he undermost biological specimen, and his(its) unenlightened white friends, youths and girls, did not know that his(its) touch uncleanly. The Girls, anyway. They Were Found, truth, in distant дакотской to hamlet people, discontented grumbled something about дегтя, but this was an eccentrics and grouches, and John malice their remained incomprehensible. Confirmed in Grande-Ripablik as white person and crackjack, he has quite forgotten completely about dim tipoff calm father on that their family participial to some terrible secret, referred to as "race question". say Anyone John in that time: "You black man", - was shown him not more intelligent, than if have said: "You гидроидный polyp", - after all skin beside it and was not blackenning. Yes and in general his(its) much little touched, "black" he or "white", - were clients complacent yes loved sweetie. But has here is fallen каться with place on place, and nor reek his(its) have not fired for bad work or on complaint of the client, - anyway, nobody from client did not complain, while him is not whispered on ear about Important Circumstance. Happened and so that John itself chucked him in person this Circumstance therefore that him was an opposite rancid spruces дядитомовщины, and therefore that for two minutes of the talk with the first master, изобличившим and fired him(it), he became the Negro and patriot of its race. His(its) sweetie, blond chambermaid швейцарка, which he taught english, has taken the great news indifferently, but irish and scandinavian girlfriends have explained her that as true people of the Country to Democracies she must immediately dispell him(it). John first from "colour inhabitants" Grande-Ripablik has heard of organizations NASPCN - a National Assotiation of the Assistance Progress Colour Population, - and on convention in Minneapolise he has met the Mayors, such conditionally "colour", either as he itself. She has got formation in Oberlin-college, was an дочерью of the veterinary from Ayovy, enough aptly put scientific experiences on turkey, hen and goose. Met, John and Mayors have immediately felt the mutual hostility since beside both was blanching skin, and they заподозрили each other in aptitudes this are proud of. But turned out to be that neither he, nor she does not thirst to become like the white tyrant, and this has approached them. But thereafter this vicinity supported characteristic him both probity and feeling of the humour. John has opened own tonsorial, but deal has not gone: not therefore that he was a negro, - a majority client did not be embarrassed presence in him african shelters, - but therefore that he has not wanted to lock their own door for black visitors, but uzh this no white, пекущийся about good society, could not tolerate. Then John has solved попытать happiness as mechanical engineer - him by nature was easy given any technology. But he had no training, technical schools was little, and in them was too kept segregation. One time he and Mayors thought to move in some big industrial city, where he could learn, but afterwards their have shaved off with sense advertising notarizing realtor that any worker, who has shown itself good member of the town commune, gain in property lodge and обзаведясь семьей, has the right to reckon for почет and respect. They have gained the lodge and обзавелись the семьей on behalf of Bayarda, and therefore they have stuck in Grande-Ripablik, must be, already for ever, and John became the caretaker, and pleased was such good luck, but Mayors helped him that that intense heats patty on sale and got a job to be a servant on dinner party at the table. - I over and over again saw you, captain, and beside Havokov and beside mrs Dedrik, when there could be the guests, but you-that me, understandable, did not notice, - has said she, and though in her(its) word was not a reproach - she was too clever and too on-maternal keen for this, - Niylu became shame on you. He had no doubt that at presence of the tag "white" and test like Mortona Bihausa John Vulkeyp could presently fill a position director of the Second FEDERAL RESERVE BANK, and exactly in the same way under corresponding to circumstance John Uiliyam Pratt served caretaker and boilerman. With that only difference, that mister Pratt ideal sank;sunk caldron of the steam heating, tastefully swept the sexes and stood the empty bottles, but mister Vulkeyp, indulging large depositor, was less счастлив and uzh, certainly, more performing value, than presently. Under the end of the dinner, having rejected self-restraint, they concerned with the addressing the issues, follows negro Niylu to the negro. - I only one can you to advise, mister Kingsblad: do not hurry, - has said John. These people presently become Niylu closer, than his(its) native father and mother; the sense and purposes to their lifes were him, anyway, comprehensible. He wanted, чтоб they named his(its) Niyl, but they have only changed official "captain" on more soft "mister" yes once in a while allowed tender "sonny". - Do Not rage the role of the martyr, - persisted Dzhon. - To understand, in than your debt or at least what you to want, you should read much books about my folk, that most books, which I, uneducated person, read here is already thirty years. I, however, повезло in this matter. The Small bench beside fireboxes caldron - a most suitabling place for serious reading. Can be, having honoured and having thought what follows, you solve that be opened does not cost(stand). Folk our this no profits will not bring, but for your full-grown, wife and дочки can turn out to be terribly. I personally горжусь that that I negro. Amongst my brother on shelters I know much simple ordinary people, which do not transfer the great poet and hero to bibles. But white business man do not love, when small people show the heroism - no difference, black this or its brother, white. They merciless with us. And, anyway, you have the right not to require from your close that they have separated your victim. Hardly much find the womans, who attracts the martyr's венец. For this beside them too much good senses. The Mayors was ed: - Here is can not force John to understand ZHannu д'Арк or, uzh if speak of good senses, that at least Harriet Tabmen. In respect of womans he несправедлив. Not for nothing in male tonsorial worked. Niyl has said pensive: - A Dialect on shame, I did not yet think about that to declare itself negro. But you much despise that negro, which do not dare on fight and prefer to descend for white? The Oldsters вздохнули. John has answered: - No. We sting lose their own, but we that they happened to to outlive, and beside us even exist the unwritten rule: if will meet old familiar in companies white and he you will not hear, you and type not подашь on folk. And exactly in the same way we fast вырвем itself language, than shall tell whomever your secret. And our younger son Rayan too if you want to render and him such confidence. On it even more can though he beside us the leftmost and you, white, from it occasionly sound is got. - Know that, mister Kingsblad, come to us at friday at night. Will Clemente Brezenstar, from Town league, and Ash Devis, chemist... - I know the doctor Devisa. Saw him(it) in bank. - But can be, and Sofas Konkord. This nurse from town hospital, clever person and much pretty. All of these are a passionate amateurs race dispute, else worse me. Will you amusement on evening - instead of безика. After all you in безик play? - In bridge! - has corrected more tempting in mundane custom Mayors. - I shall come, - has said Niyl. John continued: - You there is no need to speak him of its origin. In general, mister Kingsblad, I seem, spread about this does not cost(stand), realy that with us - for us after all you nearly native. Emerson often told about you, when you learned;learnt together in school. You him much liked. Here is you will come to friday, speak to Cage Brezenstarom. His(its) cost(stand)s to listen. This is a present idle time farm worker with lower reached Missisipi, black, as devil itself, and he did not learn nor in what college, but do not know, much find in college professor, which have read so much books. Well, but Devisy, Ash and March - these, so to speak, middle on половинку. They not black and did not be born on cotton field as Cage, but also not white and not выросли amongst north snowstorms, as we with Mayors. The Skin beside them желтая, but by birth they from border staff, Tennessi and Kentucky, where white else themselves do not know, what want. Today give the negro police uniform dress coat, but tomorrow his(its) lynch, but day after tomorrow place about him in "Courier-journal" feelled deeply obituary. Niyl вздохнул. - Am afraid, beside me most not much clean;scratch;peel conscience before negro. - As so? - Beside us one time was a servant negro woman, Belfrida Grey, and here is I to her much badly, much in a based manner pertained. I considered that she scruffy that beside it foul nature, I nearly возненавидел her(it), but because of it and all negro in general. You her(its) do not know? - Well as, who does not know this потаскушку, - unflappable has said mrs Vulkeyp, and this word so резнуло Niyla as if he has heard him(it) from its full-grown. Mister Vulkeyp has caught in the same way good-natured: - Yes, Belfrida - she shiftless, evil example for our youth. We because of it shall not be on you in insult, do not become like only other white, do not judge on her on all us. But also Belfride are found justifications. The Parents she has no, grandparent her(it), Uosh, person weak, but old woman - a present witch. Certainly, Belfrida - пренахальная девчонка. For it no more pleasures, than форсить before polish girl - she, breakwater, and умней them and is dressed шикарнее. But this, probably, better, than be Topsi, humble and writhe from itself дурочку on fun white. Or change in грязнуху, лентяйку and воровку, just such, what express their own colour servants южане. But on the other hand, as ask with girls, which not on that to hope in lifes? Yes, much justifications possible to find Belfride. - cease, - Has said his(its) zhena. - You irritate me. Tolerate can not, when begin these references to circumstance. Bad this justification. Each murderer, white or black, always хнычет: "I not guilty, so much for therefore that my parents I did not understand". Realy parents someday understand their own детей? But after all this - излюбленное justification of the drunkards and lecher even beside us, in Fayv Poynts. Has Bored! If Borus Bagdoll trades the drug and alive goods, I not at all intending to forgive him(it) only therefore that he was born in family of the ravaged farmer! The Husband запальчиво has objected: - Even Borusu happens to to face the discrimination... That was first from "race dispute", which Niylu else much lay ahead to hear in Fayv Poynts, dispute, длившихся nights through, inconsistent and passionate, occasionly scientist, occasionly helpless tongue-tied: negroes - a tailor, waiters and grease monkeys, - which their conducted, did not buy the books by gross, as Oliver Bihaus or John Uiliyam Pratt to in строгом order to place them on oak regiment, but took on one in town library, but but then read. Niyl tried to enter in talk: - I do not consider that all white conciously cruel. I certain, many of them not even suspect about existence of the discriminations. Behind it suddenly someone откликнулся young, but глуховатым by basque: - Curiously enough, but who her(its) has invented, this discrimination, someone else uncle? - Mister Kingsblad, this our son Rayan, - has said mrs Vulkeyp. - Our son Rayan, which always is late, - has said mister Vulkeyp. - Your loving son Rayan, which always rights, especially when deal concerns the race question. А with whom I have the honour? 21 The Sergeant Rayan Vulkeyp looked as typical anglo-saxon student in military form. The Growing he was a poles feet with лишком, direct, neat and with such горделивой by boarding the head, as beside father. He immediately зарычал: - That this for fool chatter, is woke;waked you, white, do not want to discriminations? John has sharply reined him(it): - Uymisi, Rayan. This our friend - a captain Kingsblad from the Second FEDERAL RESERVE BANK. - This flattering detail to me known, pope(pa). I saw the captain on his(its) footbridge in bank... We Ask to excuse me for lunge, captain. My evil mood has a reasons. I from божьего of the temple presently only, there emerged преподобный doctor Dzhet Skim, канзасский evangelist-фундаменталист and bastard in square. I b there, understandable, and on threshold have not let if b ushers guessed that I swarthy, - a toadies unctuous, cankers their shower! But, in general, I there was and heard разглагольствования Snuda about that that our миннесотские свежезамороженные христиане must be going to and dispell all ниггеров back in Georgia, ибо such a will господня. So you excuse me, captain, but no wonder if I взбеленился, having found that one such white gentleman снизошел before this sleazy hovel. - Rayan, - has said mister Vulkeyp, - замолчи here and now! - Rayan, - has said mrs Vulkeyp, - mister Kingsblad not white in eye of the law. ("I knew that it is necessary was keep quiet!") - He our shelters, Rayan. He has most recently learned;learnted of this. But litter, you honour is obliged to keep the secret. He came to us for advice and friendship, but you pounced upon it, as техасский sheriff! Rayan has stretched Niylu its ручищу, smiled the smile merry великана and пробасил: - Itself do not know, rejoice or condole, but only now I understand, why I always seemed that you too glorious small for officer. We Shall be a friends! The Comprehensible deal, I nobody will not say, and much stinger that расхорохорился so malapropos. But in armies get accustomed to hate all white officer. Niyl has asked: - But why? You really much felt the discrimination? I did not happen to to serve where were a colour parts. - But here is see here, captain. When we were in camp in the south, for white soldier each evening made cinema or concerto, they had in well common-room with scene, were a rooms of the rest - want, write letter, want, be cut in cards - and how much are pleased bar, but вздумал go in city - here you and bus. Beside us cinema could be only at week once, write the letter was nowhere, bar nor one, before bus two miles on foot, yes else and will not sit, but for each your at a walk watched the ranks to military police body, white so you and itself began itself to feel the criminal. But our colour officers did not use no power, ranks their were one visibility to conduct the eye black constituent. The Colour colonels went in old, rickety railway coach "for negro" only. One captain negro, clad in military form and moved in official business trip, was planted in common каталажку that fell into departure lounge for white, - in common-room for colour was not a telephone, but he was necessary to ring its chief! But one advantage I even so gave the military service: I visitted on show and in Burma and has heard, as тамошний folk pertains to its discriminations, has realized, in particular that all of these ready be united with us, american "неприкасаемыми", against the whole this mean white oligarchy! Rayan смущенно sedge: - Fu you, devil, again pontifficate to race subjects! This преподобный Snud guilty! He smiled Niylu, as its best friend, but Niyl sat silently, oppressed this blast to shattering hate to white people. He wanted уйти, be marked off. He no deal before this race problem! Mrs Vulkeyp, wanting quiet the dispersed passions, has said meek: - We were met with mister Kingsbladom in our церкви, Rayan. He much liked the sermon Ivena. Rayan засмеялся. - But eat me anything have left? Uzh I shall not yield to on provocation and refrain from appearances to subjects about that that negro церкви else worse marsh, than white. Young ниггеры, which in past generation managed sunday school, presently work in NASPCN, but who firmly, and then, faithfully, was горластым by preacher, - that enter in communist party. Tell lies стер glorious small, but he too popular amongst truckling дядей Tomov, and in his(its) sermon you still can hear about that, as miserable swarthy, which odd number to pay the poll tax, addresses on path of the truth clever and rich - certainly clever and rich - a white sinner. No uzh, mother dear if you wanted that I remained meek and pious christian, there is no need was tell me about Saymona Legri. While mellow terrorist diposed of with cool roast beef, mrs Vulkeyp explained Niylu that beside Rayana its daydream - organize the negro cooperative farm. But Niyl listened with indifferent, with it on today enough was a revolutions and race problem. He promised to come to friday. Rayan has merrily said him: - I not yet certain, possible we you in our сенегальское commonwealth. As it were you did not be frightened, having got acquainted with our true glance - that, which nor one white does not rely on to know. Represent, after all we not even we consider obligatory each day to change to dinner! Niyl has solved that once Rayan jests, that debt to politeness - smile and do the type that this you like. But, striding to bus stop, squeamish avoiding black man of the playboys, in sunday праздности loiterring on May-стрит, he intrinsically raged: "Ah, here is as, the most nice sergeant, you not yet certain, worthy I belong to to your black race! This follows to expect! No need was валять fool! That zh, here is I and returned to its pitiful VWVincrease the frequency of future director of the bank - and besides white!" But this was not so. He already could not уйти. With sad reproach looked at it eye Mayors Vulkeyp, that most eye, which doused his(its) лучистым by heat, when he was newly found and sufferring from son. He returned home, not knowing, as, where and than now be Niylu Kingsbladu. The News not упрекнула him(it) for long absence. - Well, as твои veterans? That you there did, told to each other about their own feat? - I want you to say one thing, - has said he reshitelino. - I came to belief that in armies much wrongly pertained to soldier-negro - they built the aerodromes, водили of the machine under fire, but awards did not get. - Ay-я-яй! Can be, and I, sinful, has cheated them at distribution of the medals? Here and now apply to congress and comsume immediately regulate this question. Bednenikie черномазики! Vydadim him all Scarlet Heart and Rose Cross and Order of the Emerald Watermelon second degree! - I dialect wholly seriously, but presently I want to nap, - has declared he. - Too wholly seriously? - an фыркнула she. Previously than lie down for a while, he was to watch the drawing Viddi - a project of the new speed bomber. He has forgotten completely to reveal the window, and in this warm year evening dream he had heavy and worrisome. Gonimyy awe, he run on wood hopeles in the night, got stuck in quagmire, was run into on tree, branches whipped him(it) on undefended person. He choked so that in bosom was ill and in рту unbearable жгло from thirst. He did not know, who this гонится for him, but knew: if it is overtaken, will beat the leg in groin, will crush the cheekbones, will wrest the eye. He stopped, seeing ahead of circle sparkling огоньков. This blazed the eye of the dogs-sleuth, присевших on back paws. А for them in light flashed up torchlight he has seen the semicircle of the people, terrible monster, what he never earlier not видал, with собачьим оскалом, pleat of fat on neck, with snake chill in glance, and these people went on it, approached, approached, approached. Someone have suddenly said the simple workaday tone: "Here is this hook will comfortable twit the swarthy rapist for leg, will just fall into pulp of the roe". He lay pron, and enormous boot - he clear felt the scent of the manure from sole - beat him(it) on whisky, but he lay already not on rotten опавшей to foliage, he rested upon cement sex, in shelters and in dirt, and boot all beat, beat, and нестерпимая pain gave oneself up to at heart skull. His(its) have raised though he was beaten off; his(its) raised the rope, squeexed throat, slowly, gradually; and afterwards he stood on boggy edge of a forest wood and watched, as he hungs on bough and lunges, and person he had his(its) own, rosy, in freckle, person of the white person, but naked body - black as coal, black coal shiny from perspiration in invalid light torchlight, and black hands and legs lunged absurdly, funny, as beside automaton, but he and other white people stood around and laughed: "See, as his(its) корежит, rotten ниггера! Jumps, as if frog, blackenning frog, see, as he jumps, black ниггер! But else speak that they too people, such people, as we! Ha-ha-ha!" He lay, not yet adding in itself from terror. "This could happen to me. Even the lynchings could be in Minnesota. I hated else сильнее, than one, was born and veins by negro. This my neck could захлестнуть rope. I can be not opened and go on all this. But if so it is necessary my folk, I must. But I can not because of Biddi. I do not want that her(its) life was poisoned by memory about murdered father, as beside Feby Vulkeyp. But can be, she itself will want to fight? Can be, even small девочки now such - think about bomber, do not know to pity?" "See, as he jumps, blackenning frog, but else speak that they too people!" He has suddenly caughted itself on that that him to want to run away to Vulkeypam, to Mayors Vulkeyp, but most of all - to Rayanu. 22 The Doctor Kennet подмигнул son in token that that they have their own male secrets, and, conducting him(it) aside, has whispered: - Well, as твои studies, are moved? Legal our claims on english throne? The Question pertained to such distant semi-annual antiquity that with the same success has possible asked: "Dared you, finally, vote for Rezerforda B.HEYSA?" Still under oppressive impression its VWVappear in the dreams Niyl will go to father on traditional sunday supper - hot soup, cool hen, frenchfries, icecream from nearby drugstore. Biddi fell asleep on sofa upstairs, but News with mother Niyla and his(its) sister Dzhoan talked about Servant and Detyah - what talked, probably, all добропорядочные of the women(woman) in cave of the stone age, in medieval lock, under canopy of the pagodas древней to Chinese empire. In house reigned atmosphere of the comfort, confidence and rest, as usually, when servant can be output. On question father Niyl has answered only: - All роюсь in courtier archive, your majesty, - and has hurried to change the subjects. He was supervised to full-grown and guessed the heritage negro limit in her(its) black eye: but then and there reminded itself that else recently found the line чиппева beside News. In its obsession by Africa he was not to forget that in his(its) shelters lives and gallantry индейцев. At night, not finding rest, he spoke itself: well presently sail in indian canoe on tempestuous lake. Pleasantly, there was think that to his(its) everyday life pertain not only ledgers and plows, but also canoes and tomahawks. The Peace sunday comfort has not becalmed him(it); has not found he oblivions and in показном revelry following evening. That was next from endless salutatory-complimentary sumptuous feast in honour of Rodneya Oldvika, made more attractive last furlough of the dashing major. He now lay ahead to return in a part to remove their own major's stripes, but then already definitively arrive in home town as fanned by glory of the veteran and newly proceed with attorney activity, оповестив about this all through newspapers. The Whole this already in earnest farewell evening Sort pontifficated to its crown subjects: - We, veterans, must hold together and amicably rebuff all element, generated fascism, on which we have scored a victory; I bear in mind undermost races, whose perfidy has weakened the power british, american, french and dutch empire and that enabled the cur Hitler pounce upon Uinstona CHerchillya. On Niyla exactly torpor has found, when he has understood that his(its) hero - a person not only cruel, but also foolish. Gravely can be to be dysappointed in friend, but Niylu this was particularly gravely. It is impossible say that after that terrible VWVappear in the dreams his(its) became to torment the insomnia. Not so easy was cause the insomnia beside Niyla Kingsblada. The Cogitations he usually subjected at hour of the matutinal shaving - his(its) disposed to pensiveness to incalculable charmings of the electric razor, graceful вещицы from nickel and plastic under ivory, which tenderly, exactly hand loved, slithered on his(its) strong chin and without participation such feudal survival, as soap and tassel, scraped off the brilliant hairspring, being indicative of that that in modern civilization even so something there is. Glyadya in round mirror, consolidated on bracket near by mural first-aid kit, he thought about that that his(its) climbing hairs not a bit do not differ from curly head of hair of the doctor Brustera. He thought about Ivene Brustere, about his(its) gravity, his(its) безыскусственной to kindness. But since Bruster was a baptist, either as he itself, Niyl was conceived about wisdoms and high value baptist preacher and their theological of the program. He asked itself: in than his(its) present faith? Believes he in determined god? In the personal immortality? What there is beside it in lifes of the purposes, besides to love the News and provide Biddi lucky existence? And for that gentlemen has chastised the News, having done her(its) wife of the negro? But can be, this and not punishment completely, but знамение over? He suddenly ceased водить razor, having thought that for the last ten - fifteen years unless consider the conversations with Tony Ellertonom, he in the same way little thought about religious questions, as about aple tree Washington. He had its official shepherd, his(its) reverend doctor SHelli Banser from baptist церкви Silivan-parka, pleasing and здравомыслящий person. Why once in lifes be not certified that this scientist theologian really known about the god and immortality a great deal such that inaccessible asked worker or bank clerk, and that doctor Banser invited in their church exactly for this reason, rather then that he excellent partner for golf, irreplaceable manager on wedding and baby holiday and reliable orator, always ready to emerge with speech when undertaking the campaigns on loan? And in tuesday at night Niyl has visitted the doctor Bansera and вверг him(it) in considerable embarrassment, having asked stright: that he is aware of the god and truth?.. In year evening pleasantly was пройтись under maple, along right before watered lawn Silivan-parka. The Baptist church высилась the puff громадой from red and sulphur stone, but beside притулился пасторский lodge, старенький, wooden, выкрашенный by white paint, which mrs Banser (she was by birth with Orient, from Ohio) tried to add the stylish view by means of blue with gold(en) heavy curtains on window. The Cabinet of the pastor - he, poor fellow, sometimes in fun named his(its) its "holy of holies" - differed respectability though and not without bold штрихов in furnishings. The roses stood On gloomy writing-tables of the mahogany in swedish engraving pitcher, but on wall, between portrait Adonirama Dzhadsona and Harry Emersona Fosdika, hunged the engraving with inscription "Boys and котята". The Doctor Banser, man with paunch, but excitable temperament, alumnus Braunskogo university and theological of the faculty in Yele, was a years on twenty senior Niyla. He had a fluid hairs and episcopalian bass, he was dress;clad in gray suit with red tie, and he has regaled Niyla good - that is to say not quite bad - a cigar. - A Son my, - pronounce he, - when person prefers the paper nipple juicy, manly taste of the tobacco leaves, I am biased to see in this sign of the degeneration, characteristic our age, but therefore sit and закуривайте, but I postpone its томик Saki. Must confess, I search for sometimes oblivions from worldly burdens in this treasure house of the free wit. And doctor handily смахнул in desk drawer book, which read: "Murder on Park-avenue". To terror of the good pastor, turned out to be that Niyl was to him not with invitation to emerge in Buster-club or in Assotiations Young Official. He came with question, and answer this question a doctor did not help his(its) well selected reference library. He, faithfully, enraged and became to bark if knew that has indeed brought about him his(its) modest parishioner. - A Doctor Banser, I have got the letter from one soldier, my former subordinated, he writes that heard some facts, forcing his(its) expect admixture negro shelters in itself. And here is he asks my advice in ethical question, which you сумеете allow better me. The Persons this is married, probably, счастлив married, has two sons, and neither wife, nor children suspect about presence of some negro ancestor, very distant, insofar I could judge. So here is, he asks, what here output достойнее? Must he say the truth native or friends or in general keep quiet on all? The Doctor Banser has done the type, is woke;waked tense thinks, - an occupation, from which he long ago already became unaccustomed to. - Say, Niyl, but anyone guess about position of the things? - As judged by his(its) letter, obviously, no. - Him much happens to to communicate with negro? - Hardly. - Apropos, Niyl, but you someday happened to to communicate with colour? All in he has grown cold. Trying seem as possible равнодушнее, he has stretched: - Yes no, close I, probably, did not know nor one n... - No! Be that will, but word "ниггер" he will not pronounce! And he has finished the phrase: -...nor one negro, except realy servants and railway conductor. - I therefore and has asked: you, signifies, it is difficult to visualize the difficulty of the problem, which occupies your poor familiar, in the whole her(its) depth and, I have said more, in her(its) religious importance. "Gentlemen, even breathe easier became!" - See, Niyl, itself I much faced with colour on its age. In university by my neighbour on dormitory was a negro, and I much, much often - once five or six, anyway, - called at to him in room and tried to keep itself with him, as with equal. But all these colour, even that, which somehow одолели university rate, awkwardly itself feel with us, white since for us culture there is hereditary good and is perceived by us naturally. We know and rejoice, as they too fume всемилостливого gentlemen; and, possible, someday, years through one hundred or two hundred, mentally they nearly nothing will not differ from us. But presently any, beside who in vein there is although measly drop black shelters, so feels our superiority that, regrettably, me or you absolutly impossible to sit with them beside and half an hour to talk frankly, on-friendly, here is as we with you talk. Here, in Grande-Ripablik, I too happened to to participate together with negro in miscellaneous commission, sit with them for one table on meeting, and this helped me to hear them closer. But where I have really studied the shower black, this in the south, in their native places. After university I - э-э - so to speak, was on trial the month in SHrivporte, in Louisiana, and there I have understood that segregation was in the south entered not to abrige rights negro, but to - э-э - protect, barrier them from evil people (which meet and amongst white and amongst black) before that times, when they are mentally developed and will be capable to perceive reality, as you, I, any white. Caught me it is correct, I not supporter of this system, as what-that constant and firm. No no bases that american person was have to go in person coach and there is for separate table - if only this really American Person in Full Sense of the Word, but on such rank, am afraid, can not pretend even the most reasonable from our colour friends! Nobody more I do not rejoice the most slightest sign of the progress amongst negro - well, shall say, that that they put into use crop rotation, or divorce the pig or рациональнее to eat, - but priest happens to глядеть in root of the things though and so us already reproach for our probity and прямолинейность. Well that zh, start;put, I always this dialect, this for us, dialect, even in flattering terms, ha-ha! But will return to your soldier and his(its) doubts. If his(its) never considered the negro, think that he not against abutments of the morals if simply keeps quiet and will formally remain white. Finally nobody from us is not obliged to speak all that knows, ha-ha! But on the other hand if you it is enough well with him introduce;make familiar with to speak wholly frankly, advise him to hold as far as possible further from white since awls in bag does not утаишь and his(its) генная mutation will first or last give itself to know. I, for instance, with my south experience has identified his(its) instant. So say him, for his(its) profits: as if - a silver, but silence - a gold! Ha-ha! Comprehensible my thought? - D-da, probably... - Niyla already did not interest the other glances Bansera. But he yielded to to temptation, which all we subject to: hear that thinks the priest, judge, physician, senator, policeman-регулировщик, when sits in bath, stark naked, without uniform dress coat. - A Doctor Banser, you, probably, happened to to work in commission with negro not only, but also with jew? - About, how many times! Beside I even somehow ate one rabbi, and mrs Banser and children - all were at the table. See, what I incorrigible liberal. - But we spoke of negro, doctor. Have Invited you to dinner of the negro - for instance, negro priest? - Well, well, Niyl, do not try to caught me on word! I after all you have said, I person of the new school. I absolutely do not upset the prospect to sit near by интеллигентным black man - well, shall say, on some convention. But beside itself in house, for eaten by table - no, no, my friend, it is out of the question! This was невеликодушно to him! Our lifestyle and thoughts for them too unaccustomed. Take any negro, even pretending on high degree, - can you represent his(its) itself in relaxed conversation with mrs Banser, which learned;learnt in conservatories Fort-Ueyna and is interested Skarlatti and клавесинной by music? No, Niyl, no! - That you will say about local baptist preacher negro, doctor Brustere, - so, seems, his(its) surname? - With doctor Brusterom I sign. About, this wholly decent, modest person. - But why in our receipts so little colour baptists and even that, which there is, nearly do not peek in church? - See, when they "peeked", as you are expressed, more often, I have entrusted the usher to explain him that though, of course, our door broadly reveal;open for our black man brother, all, probably, they much will better feel itself in Fayv Poynts, amongst their own. Probably, ushers have explained this it is enough вразумительно that, however, and was needed. There is beside us young priests, which with me not agree. Upon their behaviour possible to think that they paid agents worker alliance or any there jewish and negro organization. Defend even contraceptive measures! We read in Writing that Rescuer refracted bread with thief and sinner, but nowhere is said that he invited to its food sceptic, and troublemaker, and wreckers of the christian home centre, and self-seeking political agitator, white, black, желтых, any! Understandable, friend my? - Yes, me now a great deal understandable, doctor, thank you, - has said Niyl. 23 Mister Pratt has noticed his(its) absent-mindedness and skittish twitted his(its): "You all about than-that dreams, Niyl except between fell in love". However in these days of the emotional crossroad Niyl as before remained "one of the most reliable amongst our young employee", but Consultation for veteran is corrected attracted the new depositor - demobilized, which presently донашивали soldier overcoats, but subsequently wholly could become the obstetrician, owner cafe-automaton or fabricant of the pastries. Amongst veteran, come for advice, was before strangeness much negroes, and Niyl with alert thought, not Rayan their sends, and has not told him Rayan his(its) secret, and do not threaten him troubles. But ask he did not dare. All are these cogitations were a prelude to evening, which he has conducted amongst colour highbrow. At friday at night he has persuaded the News to take the machine since he again goes "on meeting veteran", but itself on foot and bus got before building John Vulkeypa. Emerson already returned in its part, but Niyla have met John, Mayors, Rayan and Ash Devis with wife. To the general surprise, he greeted the doctor Devisa as time-worn friend, about which terribly missed. In mundane ease Asha Devisa, in gold(en) bracelet hours on his(its) smooth dark-brown wrist was from parisian boulevard more, than from America, but black tendrils added him resemblance with french artilleryman. He will go blue uniform dress coat. The Colleague on laboratory found that Ash, with his(its) fascination by music, tennis and botany, several freakish, but returned him due as beautiful chemist and greater specialist on plastic. He three years worked in laboratory Paris, Cyuriha and Moscow during which time has nearly haved time to to forget that he Colour, and became to consider itself Person. He much did not want to return in "great turn white republic", however he returned there wholly conciously. His(its) did not charm the life of the exile amongst european bohemians, for table cafe "Selekt". Due to lack chemist, caused by war, he has got responsible functioning on combine Uorgeyta. He is a naive вообразил that will be able to work here always, and, solved that enough live on valise, they with March have bought the ugly cottage in Kenu-хайтс and overhand донизу have reconstructed him(it). He is a veins profound, seminal and modest life, was very clinging to March and to дочке to Burrow, but felt itself little lonesome. Vulkeypov and Ivena Brustera he respected as fighter and honored people, but their did not pull to scientist and light conversation, which he valued превыше whole. March - charming толстушка March with net dark-brown skin - was an дочерью of the negro-lawyer from Kentucky. In college she raged the drama and daughter its has named the Burrow to in honour of heroines "Puppet building". March at all could not adopt that her(its) husband - Sassy Nigger, Which does Not Know Its Place. For it he was a most strict scientist, the most noble persons, the most merry collocutor and the most gentile husband on light. She much tried разубедить their own more well-off colour сограждан in that, is woke;waked she and her(its) husband - simply careerists. A deep reasons were Beside poor person for such suspicions. They it is enough saw the negro, which, having got rich on selling the elixir for ращения hair or зазнавшись on soft spots in court, forgot the grandfather's shacks and tried to insinuate in so named High Colour Society with his(its) dark-coffee beauty and such limousine, his(its) amorous intrigue, sale poet and white альфонсами in salon madam Nuar-Mozambique and with охотничьими morning meal on the whole form - up to red jackets and the following reports in mundane chronically ill person (the negro newspapers). But Niyl did not be aware of existence High Colour Society, so unloved March Devis. He was mistakens, as any neophyte, considering that negroes can not be in the same way self-complacent and go;i)suit, as white. But after all they, wretch, often щеголяют and starched dickey, and тридцатипроцентным by solution of the london pronunciation, and in general be not more boring, than inhabitants-Park-avenue. Niylu much else lay ahead to learn of colour, but in light of these revelations - and about white. Vulkeypy, Devisy and Niyl sat in гостиной, unsuccessfully trying subject miscellaneous of the talk and postponing their one for another. All were so polite that all was not on itself, but has here slammed the door, person appeared in room with nice physiognomy of the comic actor, and all закричали: "А-а, Cage!" The Cage Brezenstar, travelling agent of the Town league, was a son of the black poor person-sharecropper with lower reached Missisipi, which and surname-that give on name of the plantations. The Cage never learned;learnt in college. The Books (and how much books!) he got where got, when boy was carried country-wide, working office boy, cook, agent on selling the fertilizers, reporter, political agitator. Presently in his(its) task entered подыскивать negro more tolerable functioning, урезонивать black farmer, which were lazy to study the diesel-motor and bases кооперации, as well as (not on task of the league, but on own почину) poison existence white rector colleges, encouraging discrimination negro. He loved the whisky, chinese nuts, Made someone look fat and box. The French language from was learned;learnted in Topsail during the first world war and knew him(it) rather well, on italian and jewish was explained only with sin fifty-fifty. While Vulkeypy were "faded" северяне, but brown persons Devisov caused in memories arab and gardens of the Alhambra, Cage Brezenstar appeared before amazed Niylom as entailment that that sowers to hate name "black here with negro South". This was a person with broad, cunning smile, always appeared unexpectedly, as чертик from box. He was black, as night; black and brilliant, as new sheet of the black carbon-paper; seemed, he black not only outside, as Iven Bruster, but before most bones. The Lips he had is dyed-mauve, auricles black outside and inwardly, squirrels eye cast the желтизной, and even palm were not rose, but gray. The Grin did not come off his(its) person, at serious minute particularly since then he laughed not only on others, but also on itself itself. Tolstye lips his(its) small рта that and deal derisive wried, forehead was going to in worrisome pleats. He was charming is marred the appearance of, as бультерьер, but darkenning skin his(its) so sparkled, and held he so merrily and simply that was beautiful, as blackbird, swing back and forth on стебле bulrush. In pronunciation his(its) were disturbed Missisipi, Harlem and гнусавый MIDWEST. He often used the word "ниггер" in using to itself and to its friends, but enemy never allowed to pronounce him(it) with impunity. Many he seemed impossible since this was absolutely natural and normal person, not burdened neither ambition family, nor school formation, nor bank account. - Get acquainted, this captain Kingsblad, our new white friend, and good friend, - has said John Vulkeyp. The Cage smiled Niylu smile well-disposed worker, and this left beside it without the most slightest stretching. Uleschati or abuse white was for it such accustomed deal, what whip up or pull down black. - A Regard, captain. Well-with, militant brother my, always pleasantly return in Grande-Ripablik, in blessed edge, free from discriminations. Meal I in bus presently, but beside sits such смазливенькая немочка with its sonny-nazi; here is he was supervised to me yes as заорет: "Ma, see, what black effigy!" - but she вторит the coloratura soprano: "This бесопрасие, I shall write in автопусную company, as us, american, вынуштают to go together with such and with сякими!" The Cage shone, he aloud laughed at its bad luck. Surprised Niylu lay ahead to hear that so повелось beside the most hard-core fighter for right negro. Nothing do not make laugh them more, than own misadventures. They did not be dejected, but from talk with them "new white friend" all better understood, what trouble subject to stepson Country of the Liberty. Ash Devis peacefully told about border staff: - Inconsequence in discriminations - here is that ruin;destroy;kill poor Sambo. In one city in the south he can liberally fall into any shop and use the парадным by lift, and wife his(its) can try the selected gown; but in the other, for some fourty miles, his(its) nor in one decent shop do not become deserted, but if will try to enter - arrest, and lifts, in institutions even, separate for colour and for white. The Year we, bets, buy on railway journals in common-room for white, but afterwards at one beautiful day sound policeman arrests us that we there plunged. You Understand, captain Kingsblad, not only унизительность discriminations us enrage. Bad else that impossible to guess, when exactly your most пустячный action - shall say, bowed on street nun - сочтут the crime and изобьют you before inconsiouosness. Here is from this insecurity and can be that calm, timid person graps for razor. There is, certainly, colour brother, which praise the South since there negroes are insulated and small circle dark-skinned merchant can get rich on all other representative "elected" folk. Presently in negro press even to conduct the polemics to subjects about that that better - go on North, where you выморозят, or remain in the south, where you сожгут. But so or so, but sooner whole you несдобровать. The Cage Brezenstar вскричал: - That, again, damn it, race dispute on the whole night? - and поудобнее уселся on couch, preparing receive a visit participation at him. - I shall fire. Hear anymore want about our accursed race! - has declared Rayan Vulkeyp and too settled down the поудобнее. Niyl has said hastily: - Previously than you leave this subjects... - someone засмеялся, -...I should like to learn your opinion of letter, which I somehow have long ago got from its former classmate, he served on Tihom ocean. You allow me to read something from there? Their гмыканье, see, meant: "Allow", - and he began: "Recently work the military coroner, functioning soilling, and as a result powerfully changed my attitude to negro. Their here much do not love. The White soldier more friendly is adjusted to representative всякой other races since beside negro to white soldier no that friendly feeling, what interfaces the white people, but this much it is important where people all time together. Amongst negro certainly there is beautiful soldiers. But in each military prison on one concluded white happens to three negroes - sit for absences without leave, for disobedience order, sexual crimes, knife-fight, for thefts beside the other soldier, and all tell lies, tell lies without зазрения shame. And is got that our boys, which before war did not face with negro, is returned to civil life powerfully prejudiced against them". Niyl expected the blast, but answer to him was a silence not even very astir, but afterwards задиристый sergeant Rayan Vulkeyp indifferently has explained: - Your familiar - a typical police rank. The Good soldiers his(its) do not interest, his(its) deal - nose bad. He and did not hear of uncountable colour subdivisions, which have covered itself glory, - take at least seven hundred sixty first tank battalions. But wake certain, he knows, what impression produces the anecdote, which like him punks have started to walk on the whole Asia and Europe, - is woke;waked there is tail beside each colour! Not this has to breathed in us vigorous friendly feeling? All burst out laughing, but Cage Brezenstar has ordered: - But well VWVclimb up with tribunes, Rayan, give speak the specialist! The Captain, in that that has said this young person, there is share of the truth, and than more this truths, that sooner you, white, follows to undertake something resolute for its profits. At former time of any uncles tire;exhaust возносили praise gentlemen if with they addressed not worse, than with cattle, but now not that. Our youth reads the books. Caught, New Negro need all right of the New White Person - all without exception, and now he their does not wangle - he will be for them to fight. You, white YAgo, created the revolutionary army from thirteen million Otello, mans and womans. Wholly understandable that colour soldiers impolite with white gentlemen on war, where their have sent, not asking, want they this or no. They closer their own war. The People, which, as I, выросли in hovel without privy, near dirty puddles, where rotted the refuse and dead dogs, people, which robbed, as could, and shopkeepers with plantations and buyer-ups of the pat, not giving even take a look at their count, - these people sometimes steal beside one, their constantly ripoffs. What nursery of the crimes created you, white! The Segregation! For all - whether John and Mayors, Ash and March or such black boot, as ya. Segregation. We, it is said, like pig, and with people us not place, - and hereon your buddy from military police body requires from us discipline yes else friendly feeling. The Segregation! "Apart, but with the same comfort", - a new coaches for white and клоповники on wheel for lucky ниггеров! The New brick schools for your boys, - see the picture in sunday newspaper of the Atlanta, - but for us, for our детворы - an unpainted shed, pews without back and no school desks - let black пащенки write beside itself on knee if him without fall it is necessary to write, in than reasonable people far from certain. The Segregation! The School buses for your precious little ones, but our and on foot five miles протопают. For you - a hospitals with tiled sex, but for us - a slaughterhouses. Functioning - please: the most heavy, the most dirty, the most dangerous, but white policemans invent for us special laws and themselves execute to functions and agent provocateur, and judge, and палачей. And hereon your sensitive classmate complains that we do not entrust him our fondest secrets! Well, know! And Cage burst out laughing, tender глядя on Niyla. And in the same way tender has spoken, обращаясь to him, March Devis: - Mister Kingsblad, white southerner will without fall tell you that in the childhood his(its) best other was a black постреленок, which has taught his(its) drink vodka and about the whole other has enlightened. Never he, poor, will not tell you that дружил with black boy, diligent and непьющим. He and did not know, that amongst colour boy be such - he and on syu time this does not know! But how much nice, on-persisting good southerner will be careful выхаживать black man girl if she заболеет the typhus, but will feel itself insulted if she вздумает to study the psychology. IN THE SOUTH us oppress not only straight line danger - an awe that you lynch, сожгут, изобьют. About this possible not to recall, realy that in stuffy nights, when summer lightings blaze, as shots. Then lie in the dark, frozen, and heed, and замираешь from terror, when hear the car, steps, whisper, - from terror that this goes white, but they never come with good. But the main - not this awe, but continual, as it is woke;waked and imperceptible snub. Any VWVsplit hairs - but in the south so valuable VWVsplit hairs: roses, and grandfather's sabre, and poetry Fallow deer, and noisy disputes about that, press or pound spearmint for джулепа. Such VWVsplit hairs, as inscription: "for colour" Only, - to загордившаяся negro woman like I remembered that she - an evil spirits. After college I year worked in school on Extreme South. I spoke that white love that colour teacher set an example детям and were dressed particularly clean-cut and purely. I had small развалюшка-car, I itself has dyed him(it) in white colour. Somehow at saturday I was going to in city and before departure вымыла machine - she shone, as mirror, - and me was much pleasantly that on me new white suit and white loafers. And new white gloves! I came out of machine beside drugstores, but there stood old, terrible farmer - yellow, as worm, - so he подошел and deliberately выплюнул safe formation tobacco juice straight on door my чистенькой machines. But other white men laughed. Here is then I have understood that on door in hell is written: "Only for colour". 24 The Cage Brezenstar has declared that if they speak only of such trifle and not коснутся more bright swatches of the violence in the south, like that event, when negro, returned with front, have dislodged the eye by police bat, their new friend will become bored and damages the prestige him(it), Klema, as manly southerner. All again засмеялись, but Niyla penetrated tremor. He tried to argue: - But after all on North negroes nor such violence are subjected to in one staff. - During race disturbances, - how much are pleased, - has peacefully said Klem. - But much важнее question about acceptance on functioning: dark-skinned teacher and stenographer straight speak that on functioning their will not take, - not therefore that they with she does not manage, but therefore that colour of the person beside them unbeseeming. But restaurants? In this staff under the law are there obliged to start and negro, so them or force to wait - maybe, уйдут, or put too much salt him food so that there is impossible. But military plants, where negro do not allow to drink from one fountain with white! As speak, fiery patriot will come out of person, who loves to wash each day if repeat over and over again him that he will not sweep away even to use one pluming with farmer yankee or yokel from Tennessi, sincerely convinced that baths exist to keep in them worms for bait. No, my white friend, do not caught me wrongly: in this ультрадемократическом north city negro do not lynch - realy that once in a while, - but each day we harden that we dirty, больны evil disease that we criminals. And think, they themselves in this believe? No, certainly. But they inspire this itself, but afterwards inspire others, and thereby force back us from good functioning, on which зарятся themselves. But that particularly enraptures us here, in Grande-Ripablik, this that vile ethiopian is not allowed to enter in members of the Christian Assotiation of the Young People - generously субсидируемой organizations on spreading christian ideal, - to barrier from foul her(its) pools for sail and not to damage the здоровью such-разэтаких of the sons white жертвователей on african missions. HAML! Holuyskaya Army Small Lyudishek! - I did not know that in Grande-Ripablik is conducted such discrimination, - has timidly said Niyl. - Me обиднее whole was that, - has said Rayan, - that in grade school I дружил with all white, and boy and девочками, we together bathed, built the fortresses from clay, and on skates rode, and on sled, and I got accustomed to consider that they really my friends, but afterwards, when we подросли, they have found that I "colour", and have hurried me about this report, but when I will go to one девочке, with which we much years played together beside it in courtyard, I have said that her(its) "no building", but afterwards I saw, as she came out of entrance(approach) with pimple white boy, who we all despised. Beside us segregation, captain? No that you, simply quarantine! John Vulkeyp has said softly: - We with Mayors little feel the discrimination. Certainly, me unpleasant, when двенадцатилетний white tot peeks to me in cellar and орет: "Hey you, devil Dzhonni, where you запропастился?" But so address with all caretaker. But as to insults in restaurant and cinema, we prefer not to run into on them. On evening we sit the building - read, or listen radio, or game of cards with friends - and never, never leave. We with Mayors do not love the scandal and shout, and us so спокойнее. Nobody can not to us to nag and try to evict us from our building. Yes, we much love our house, and here we on the safe side. - Before time before time, - has crudely said Klem. - Presently in the south became a little получше, - lynchings less, more negro has obtained the right voice, here and there even alike board for teachers, colour and white. So but then on North became worse - otherwise I remained out of job. - Yes, - has said Ash Devis. - a Snowbird in dug syntetic Roberta E.LI waits great future. Here is, for instance, mister Pete Snitch - Illinoysskaya Steel Company brother Snitch. He buies in South Carolina winter house, and in two years he more southerner, than any native of the South. At one time he worked beside пудлинговой stove, but now beside it million, and him aristocratic traditions were necessary with his(its) женушкой - a lock, wound around by ivy, and fast horsecar to quite as beside Valitera Scott. And here is in the south all this to his(its) service - a magnolias, and thrush-mockingbird, and white pillars, and полянка in wood, where no time local goldfinches fought a duel, and respectful poor persons, anyway, respectful on word. The Last scion to families, in homestead which Snitchi вселились, as cuckoo in someone else jack, works in some бирмингамской to newspaper so mister Snitch wholly can consider that together with house in his(its) property have alterred by sawing and family ghosts in hoop skirt. He became the squire by means of money and southerner by means of лингафона. But him it is necessary to prove its gentility, but the best way for this - insult one, cost(stand)s below you; since us, ethiopian, not отпущено natures his(its) anglo-saxon beer color, he solves that exactly we cost(stand) below, and орет on us louder, than some каролинский jailer, and in any talk in Bollington-hall colonel Piterboro Snitch first will yell the истошным by voice: "do Not want you that your daughter left married for ниггера!" Yes, yes, beside you, north, богатые prospects on a part feudal and плантаторских tradition. But get old saying "With wolf to live - on-волчьи wail" I for itself дополнил so: "Only not воображай that you first before this додумался!" Further, the talk has taken several hysterical and not quite comprehensible for Niyla nature. His(its) has broken the appearance SHugara Gauza with derby for morning meal. SHugar was born on sugar plantation Louisiana, but some image learned;learnt address with worker by instrument. Presently he went on plant Uorgeyta, where worked the mechanical engineer in night-shift. Worked he perfectly and so believed that his(its) will leave at the factory and after war, and, not conceding in naivetes Ashu Devisu, has bought two-room домишко, where veins with its son Bobby - an excellent dancer-clown, black вундеркиндом Fayv Poynts. Spoke he on-south, swallowing half agree, and Niyl by a narrow margin understood him(it). He looked like индейца - a fine lips, fine black nose with горбинкой, high, straight line figure: statue to judges Kessa Timberleyna graven from basalt. dress;clad He was in turn blue shirt and overalls, picturesque, as any worker cloth. When his(its) tried втянуть in discussing the race question, he has said: no, he nothing do not know about discriminations, knows only that here, either as everywhere, colour take on functioning in the last queue, but fire in the first so not all is? Niyl has asked him(it): - But as you carry our cool winters? - Mister, in holey shack in Louisiana in fourty degrees fervours colder, than in my здешнем strong lodge in fourty degrees of the frost. - SHugar довольствуется small, - has said Ash. - Beside he is enough the wit not to suffer the constant sensation to insecurity and weekness, which aggrieves us with March. - You, formed, painfully sensitive, dock, - has said SHugar. - Where you to know that thinks the worker of the person! - A Worker! - resented Ash. - I, when has finished the college, worked the cook in parlor car - in lifes shall not forget, what there made the drinking-bouts, - but got degree, will go to serve on factory of the patent facilities, once in a while removed the formulas, but more packed the boxes and sinker them in machines. The Cage Brezenstar began was object SHugaru: - Will Become sensitive, when in bus woman changes on the other place if you sowed;sown near by her... The Sofas! The Joy my! In room invisibly entered dark-skinned making look younger woman, and Mayors have said Niylu: - Get acquainted - a Sofas Konkord. She is a nurse in town hospital. But this mister Kingsblad, new friend. - I saw mister Kingsblada in bank, - has said the Sofas and has added with absolutely virgin type: - This job title to him to person much. She looked at it alive and bold glance, and he has thought that never saw such beautiful women(woman) - and such незамороженной. The Sofas Konkord, уроженка of the Alabama and ровесница Niylu, was a high growing, as News, and with such opened by person, but more is generously vested soft, long line and изгибами, which have produced an impression on such peace битюга even, as Niyl. She had a big mouth and skin nearly such darkenning, as beside Asha Devisa, warm, darkenning skin, smooth, as atlas, and her(its) nacked hands of the colour of the polished nut shaded turn white fabrics not very new evening board. At one time, the Sofas emerged with negro song in night clubs NEW YORK; her(its) received a visit at rich merry гарлемском society; but she has bored to make faces on fun white bystsnder. She diversionary was knocked in добродетель, has sung under jazz pledge chastities and after three years of the labour and deprivations became the nurse, skilful, patient before самозабвения and very glib on language. She facetious assured that much приятнее to fiddle with lousy boys, than with white philanderer. Demanding Rayan Vulkeyp acknowledged: "Sofas - a nurse that it is necessary although from it and will return the spirit a Cobra and lacy pillow". - Our new white friend, see, good small, - in всеуслышание has explained her Cage. - We here taught him Doctrine Podryvaniya Osnov for the second year of the education, - he and eye not сморгнул. Except between in him most there is droplet of chocolate. All засмеялись, except Vulkeypov and Niyla, which suddenly became coldly. - Well, certainly, pounced upon wretch of the person, who interest the atheletic records Joe Luis, and stuff his(its) propaganda. Probably, your race propoganda has haved time to to bore him in the same way, how do I, - has angrily declared the Sofas, too mounting on tribunu. - Say, mister Kingsblad, you that - a next white tourist, exploring customs of the slums, or the present friend of our folk? - Such present that you and visualize can not, - has answered Niyl. - He good, glorious person, - has confirmed the Mayors Vulkeyp. - A Clever person, good child! The Voice of the Sofa, even when she tried to sting, reminded Niylu year night, penetrated firefly. - A White people often think that we mistrustful and to us it is difficult to approach. Can be, they and rule;govern. Beside each of us there is disparaging memory about that, as white pretended our friends, захваливали us, but afterwards invented any filths about us. On one such white, as Suini Fishberg or Koup Anderson, which if you friend, no difference, what you colour, in the same way, as no difference, black beside you hairs or redhead, - find ten scoundrels, who mob us in friends or therefore that want us anything obtrude - a sewing machine, new religion or communist teaching - or therefore that they Social Equality rage at free time for Poor Colour Brother in the same way, as gift for England and novel Thomas Vulfa, as Salvador of the Distances and монсиньором SHian. But that else there is white losers - брошенные women(woman), unemployed journalists, preachers without fold, - that воображают that can obtain the confessions and hot любви in our world that we the only thing dream of white protector, which has at one time read the biography Bukera T.VASHINGTONA. Such-that and scare away us from our nice white friends. So see, mister Kingsblad, we are supervised to you with such cautiosly, either as you to us. She sermonized, as missionary, but Niyl глядел on it, as on woman. She moved is sailled, as if cat, bronze cat, but if touch - bronze will become soft and living. And bosom beside it, probably, hard, as bronze and шелковистая, as wool beside cats. Here he annoyed тряхнул by head: "You, Kingsblad, неудавшийся white person, does not можешь you love this folk without toga to beside you hands did not stretch to his(its) woman?" SHugar Gauz rose, took its derby and has said in singsong voice: - But me here is white beside us at the factory more like, than these зазнайки, about which miss of the Sofa spoke. There with you or are divided by sausage and beer, or hate you and speak of this as clear as day - a crowbar on head. Well, forgive. Spoke SHugar so, as if beside it mouth of the packed porridge, and was expressed not always literate. But Niylu was clear that this already not that получеловек, about which, remain he in the south, even the most good-hearted white have said: "For negro he nothing". Here he became the person, such, as Uebb Uorgeyt or John Vulkeyp. Only веселее! Niyl has noticed that for the whole evening did not hear nor exotic speech, which provide with the south negro in novel, nor seductive obscenities, invariably appearing in tale about Harlem, about drug and nightmareish crimes. Unless consider the separate словечек, brought with South, these people - one more revelation! - talked in the same way, as his(its) familiar, as all, with whom he met in bank, in armies, in university. Only веселее! Emerged the Cage: - I want to tell mister Kingsbladu about uncle Bodeshesa. This that the good lad - he white, but he has a poor relatives from colour, - very dolt, which, probably, and has put in action phrases like: "there is jew" Amongst my nearest friends and "I for alliances wholly, but not терплю political agitator". This дядюшка Bodeshes authoritative explains that segregation needs therefore that otherwise, breakwater, negroes will withdrew itself in wife of all white womans, and after all such numskull does not втолкуешь that majority from us охотнее married on such girl, as Sofas, than on white beauty. My-that wife, give her god of the health, not желтая, as you. She beside me that varnished loafer. But захоти I marry white, which has wanted leave for me, - and married, wake calm. When anyone be ruined about that, how much now marriage between white and black, can have no doubt that he simply searches for suitable, благочестивого, shameless pretext that охаять its colour servant and afterwards with чистым-heart to pay her less former. But there is formula beside uncles Bodeshesa else почище: "Negro Problem Undecidable". Sounds this is terribly taught, straight from disquisition on ethnologies, but signifies whole only that she undecidable for дядюшки Bodeshesa while he does not quiet down in comfortable могилке - on Forrest-bosom!.. But now, Mayors, for the sake of the whole saint, will today be coffee with crumpet? And Mayors gave on table nothing else than coffee with crumpet. They were amazingly tasty. Standing up with cup in hand near chair young мулатки, Niyl did not look like person, outliving dramatic collision, but in Sofas Konkord with her(its) narrow eye and певучим voice воплотилась for it whole beckonning mystery of the fairy-tale Africa, and he felt that her to should sing the колдовские of incantation, rather then inveigh for funds on treatment of the baby palsy. Novoobraschennogo Niyla pulled closer to approach to this elected; he wanted that they named him(it) by name, as each other, but they continued величать his(its) "mister". Even when he has by mistake named the doctor Devisa "Ash", calm "mister" has immediately put(deliver)ed him(it) on place. He politely spoke "miss Konkord", but, глядя, as she lays aside the head, joggles the dark hair and sighs: "About gentlemen!" - he thought, what is an address goes her, as tigress - a bridle. He wanted to see her(it) in carbon briliance бродвейских joint, rather then on May-стрит for coffee with crumpet. Obraschayasi only to her, he has mumbled: - That you think about future your folk? - And has praised itself for so skilfully supplied question. The Sofas have answered sharply, what knew how to answer the News: - That exactly you interest, mister Kingsblad? But that you ask, as insurance agent on telephone: "Well you have today rescued?" or "How do you do, how do you do, well, as we feel itself?" - Can be, but only I really want this knows. - Why? - Yes simply... miss Konkord, I terribly like your friends... and you. - Mister, I did not hear such compliment from white banker thereafter, what worked in Harlem, in "Tiger skin", and one white town financier Bismarka, big huntsman before black дичи, all wanted to call at to me home to watch the engravings - an engravings he offered to bring with itself - a newcomer, chunky - and... - Cease! - What is a? - I really interest negro. I learn. - A Gosh kind that he speaks! - What college you finished, Sofas? - Au? - You whole-навсего formed girl from Alabama, but pretend the african. - Mister, you have guessed! But I was taught only year and, forgive;pardon me god, all time killed on history of the France! - I at all did not think that meeting amongst you so much people, more well-read, than ya. - But you are not tempted. Such little. - Here - all. Do Not sneer on poor white ignoramus. Tell me about itself. - Mister, really you have not yet understood that I such? I that most the beauty квартеронка well-mannered in new-орлеанском priory, sultry невольница with sparkling очами and heavy иссиня-black scythe that cost(stand)s whole in tear, but more nearly nor in than, on podium before sensual planter (or theatrical showman) in castor hat and since hour on толстых chain. But one person - young Nevili Kelhun Kingsblad from Kingsblad-Kornere, staff Kentucky, - took pity on on her, and soon possible was see, as on gallery of the mysterious old-time building near Leksingtona slithers the enfolded feminine figure - here is she slithers - here is she - a poor fellow! No, seriously, nice mister Kingsblad, do not try to search for the romantics in us. We - labor folk, and beside us one care - obtain the extensions of the right on labour for all negro so colour girl with higher educations could hope to get the place of the chief clerk on thirty two dollars seventy five cents at week, rather then work whole life in прачечной. Here is that we such - and all. But when she spoke this, they already were a friends. He has finally noticed that on her is put on: long white gown with yell gold(en) болеро, ring with enormous topaz, which was bad knitted;knitted with her(its) speech. "It is Necessary to remember to tell the News", - accustomed мелькнуло beside it in brain, but he has then and there thought that will hardly tell the News about toilet of the Sofa or about than that nor was, касающемся this tomboy with diploma. When was again tied talk on race subjects, to which their pulled irrepressible, as kitty to шуршащей бумажке, Niyl has heard that any well-disposed white, which will ask: "But negro has not satisfied..." - услышит in answer "no". He has heard that south liberal - a person, explaining north liberal that Beat-стрит is renamed to Beat-avenue. He has heard of colour court, surgeon, about military corresponder of the negro newspapers. The Strange belongings he has heard - that there is negroes-buddhists and negroes, исповедующие judaic religion, negroes-communists, negroes-masons and negro student brotherhood, poor negroes, which hate all shopkeeper-jew, and negroes so propertied that they hate all poor negro. Inevitably they подошли to the following question, and Niyl, смущаясь, addressed to doctor Devisu: - Probably, you this has already bored, but say, what price that argument, woke;waked negroes therefore undermost race that they have not tuned in Africa any cathedral and parthenon? All засмеялись, but doctor Devis has answered wholly seriously: - But you have tried build Parthenon amongst flies tsetse! But our folk much built together with the other slave in Egypt and in Rome. But who, in your opinion, built the building a planter? Not themselves хозяева plantation? But know you, as much presently young architect amongst colour? No, mister Kingsblad, do not reckon that negroes спасуют before white in the field of architectures even though some smooth-spoken preacher in unpainted дощатой chapel is poured to subjects about "negro, which on inscrutable will божией never are able to build even the most coverring парфенонишки". Oho, already hour! Got to go home! Niyl felt that opened the new world - an диковиннее of the moon, темнее to nights, brighter morning in mountain, the world stirring and dangerous. "Love these people", - thought he. 25 - Do Not know, as you, millionaires, but I person worker, and me time, - has declared the Sofas Konkord. "So and News speaks!" March Devis red to deliver the Sofas. Ash has offered: - But I провожу mister Kingsblada before bus... Does Not cost(stand) to go here one after hour of the nights. Get the dark personalities - not without fall colour. Promise not to speak on race subjects though full warranty to give can not. I the other day умудрился sometime to read instead of "cash collection" - "race dispute". Proschayasi with Mayors Vulkeyp, Niyl has said undertone: - I have conducted the remarkable evening, but I and presently do not know, can I confess even this friends that I negro. - But I not certain, follows in this confess, far from certain. Why subject to itself humiliations, about which we today spoke? Here and there on May-стрит for dark занавесками else loomed the light, in some premises on shop aloud laughed. In lane гнездились the shade - can be, hidden people, can be, barrels, but anyway Niylu they did not like. Ash did not begin the talk, and Niyl has noticed, as attentively he stares to each stray cat, to each dark male figure, writhed on sidewalk. Niyl has wanted to go on foot and further bus stop - before Kenu-хайтс, where veins Ash. The House of the doctor Devisa was small, with flat roof, but on enormous window, transformed whole his(its) corner in glass hutch, Niyl has understood that this so-called "style modernist style", protest against тюдоровских and moorish mansion Silivan-parka. He heard, as mister Pratt in disapproval named such buildings "anarchistic", but him never happened to to be in them. Ash has said low: "Call at, bittern", - and Niyl found oneself in room, which and has repulsed and has enchanted his(its) its deliberate emptiness, absence what that nor was a knick-knack. In her was two centres: enormous angular window, from which, far adown, were seen pale chains of the lights in Fayv Poynts, and strict heater from polished stone, without regiments. Several кресел of the unusual form, dwelted by do-it-yourself fabrics, were indicative of that that comfort is here valued more, than mark "чиппендейл", but on wall, not that оклеенной обоями, not that upholstered some metal, hunged one-single picture - a curl spinning triangle. On piano formless глыбой высилась blackenning sculpture. -, Signifies, and there is style modernist style? - marveled Niyl while Ash underbided the cocktail beside become refrigerator. - So his(its) is accepted to name. - What architect you built? - I itself, but sooner nobody. Here, there was shed, and we with March have adapted him(it) under home. But know, this house - a sign of my disgrace. Am afraid that I have built him(it) on ill Lyucianu Fayrloku, but stretch for snob worse, than stretch for мещанами. You know Fayrloka? - Manages the advertisment beside Uorgeyta - a southerner? Yes, little know. - He southerner-liberal - an окончил university Vandebilida, from that people, which consider that we, such-сякие negroes, must know its place, and together with that want to have a reputation for tolerant, want that we learned;learnt same, as white, but held the tongue. Fayrlok lives through two buildings from me, in terrifying Noevom ark with curlicue - on wartime he, poor, nothing best has not found. He встревожился, when has found that we neighbours with him. He, truth, got accustomed to proximity negro, but considers that him as one should to remain нищими, meek and grateful. At first he on I slanted. But afterwards his(its) children started to play with my Burrow and we as it is woke;waked got acquainted, and the whole огорчительнее that he, poor fellow, prefers me all other neighbour, but can not itself in this confess. When I became to build this house, I first itself did not understand that chose the style a modernist style - this фрейдистскую form пуританства - specially to pique Fayrloka. And that the most amusing - me to manage: any once, as he goes by my building, on person beside it is written envy. Here is see, what beside I be the low impetuses. But this room was got such hopeles chaste that I pine for oak rocking chair and to on she hunged олеография - aging church under moon light. After all I inhabitant in professorial skin. However, no, this untruth! (The Gentlemen! How much I today dialect, - therefore that on evening I nearly always sit the building.) I not good-natured businessman, nowhere near no, but also not fiery fighter for deal negro. I wanted live in tower from ivory, play Baja, read Yitsa and Melvila, concern with the historian to chemistries and alchemies, rather then pore on laboratory functioning. The White scientist do not take me in its ambience so I try to rage the race fight. But this role, but I bad actor. I much price of the people, with which has today conducted the evening, but, on my glance, Cage too криклив, Sofas too imitates white "деятельницам", but John and Mayors, who I from showers love, too ограниченны. For me pleasantly to conduct the evening - signified silently sit beside heater with томиком George Rubbish. Yes, yes, me much not easily yell about our "rights" although I and fine know that this really our right. Probably, I dialect all this to inspire you that we and our propaganda not so forgive;pardon, as кажемся. Yes and you too! Probably, you have a special reasons be interested folk. Anyway, on philanthropist-amateur you do not similar. В than your secret? "Here is who really could me a great deal to, who could become me other. I not at all want to chatter about this to the right and to the left, but..." - Matter of fact, Ash that in me, see, there is negro blood, from some distant limit. Ash has not expressed neither empathies, nor surprises, but was limited calm: - Here is as. That, this, probably, possible be proud of. Probably, now you more sense to wage war, than was on front. - But me terribly that about this will hear, and besides people, whose opinion I in грош not ставлю. - If you will need help, mister Kingsblad, anyway if want to speak, come here, I shall pleased. - Shall Certainly come. Before свиданья, Ash. The Doctor Devis has done the observable pause, previously than выговорил: - Before свиданья... Niyl. He strode home - else young man, pleasing although and unexceptional appearance - on street, populated small employees and factory master, narrow, as dark passages between box on enormous storehouse, and in shower his(its) was more hopes, than awe. He as before with alert thought about its negro future, but now nothing in this future did not repulse him(it); he перешагнул for devil, on that party, where stood Ash and Sofas, Rayan and Cage. When he, trying not to clamour, fell into sleeping, News awoke on minute, tender has teased his(its): "is Seen, meeting veteran passed aptly", - and again заснула. He was struck: seamingly, wife, such close him person, must was immediately feel that this evening - the most significant in his(its) lifes. But Sofas have understood this? The News and Niyl were going to to conduct the fortnighty furlough Niyla on datcha, on north seaside Upper lake. Before their departure chief accountant Second National mister S.ESHIEL Denver has invited their eat in hotel "Paynlend" in commemoration glorious and profitable activity to Consultations for veteran. In straw-coloured light of the become lamps in the manner of roses, consolidated on помпейских fresco "Fiezole", сенатороподобный Drexel Grinsho, with high dark-brown лбом and white moustache щеточкой, has conducted them to table, sparkled by silver and rose. Zakusyvaya сардинками, in изнеможении stretched on cool crouton, News залюбовалась sedate deleting figure of mister Grinsho: - Simply classical negro from old-time novel! He, probably, loves to dice and there is свиные отбивные and watermelons. Mister Denver agreed: - Yes, good oldster. Never дерзит, does not be too familiar with white. Knows its place, does that conduct, and speaks "thank you", and does not try you to inspire, is woke;waked he owner calve, not that many sassy ниггеры помоложе. But mrs Denver did not consider possible unconditionally to allow the Drexel to live on white light: - In my opinion, he can be too free-and-easy. I consider that at our time, when moral abutment so wobby, necessary especial strictness, and can not say to me much liked, when colour lackey behaves so, as if he member to families. Do Not understand, why they in general keep turn black servant in calve, which wants to have a reputation for first-class, much better was hire the good waitresses - only american, rather then some толстых шведок. - Well that you, in my opinion, these lackey nothing, only I always irritate that I unable to distinguish their friend from friend, - has said the liberal News, глядя on three slitherring on common-room varnish, from which one was stocky and black, other - thin, with skin of the coffee colour, but the third - mountain-high, very light and in ochkah. - But you, Niyl? - No, in my opinion, they all miscellaneouses. Mrs Denver has squeaked (in her(its) voice always was призвук corset): - Well, Niyl, let you may their distinguish, but really you like this querulous oldster a maitre dhotel? - Likes. In my opinion, he very worthy old gentleman. - A Gentleman? Here is original determination for negro! After dinner they have gone to Denver, inhabited not far away from Niyla, and there were else guests: Sedrik Staubermeyer, Don and Rose Penloss - исколесивший whole light merchant paint, обоями, linoleum and other works of art - with wife. The Talk was winnowed the most mundane, but in especially knowledge-based plan, and Niyl had get fat possibility to compare the cultural range of the rich white person with narrow outlook negro, whose utterances he heard for three days before that in house of the colour caretaker. - Well, seems, the last days became the теплее. - Yes, but at June was terribly coldly. - Realy? But I was shown that not colder, than always in this time. Can be, trace. - Yes? But me, represent, was shown that colder. And that like spangles, spilt graceful and effortlessly. However mrs Sedrik Staubermeyer was a lady more enlightenning, possible even say - an просветительницей. - Ah, me simply is not believed that already ten years passed, as we were in Rome; seems, is woke;waked this was only yesterday. We have ed in Eternal City resolutely all - and ruins, really very ancient, and Vatican city, and aerodrome, and владелицу english cafe - she was an englishwoman, and she has said, ah, you not a bit do not look like foreigner, and for us was much comfortable that we veins not in calve, but in rooming house, where we could meet the persisting italian, we their have met several persons, and they us all have explained, but else there was such interesting frenchman - ah, he splendid spoke on-english, not worse us with Sedrikom, and - think only! - he has told us that his(its) first cousin lives here beside us, in Grande-Ripablik! But mister Staubermeyer has screwed enough кисло: - We, when returned home, did not start to search this first cousin since I powerfully suspect that that frenchman was евреем, but you know, as I отношусь to jew, you themselves so pertained if b conducted with them deal, and I so and has said the wife: "Devil with him quite! I else can tolerate the foreigner in the other country, and local native to me, dialect, like, only live do not die and deal with them to conduct impossible, but all let better sit beside itself abroad". Their interests nowhere near were not limited journey. They thrashed out prospects of the hunt on pheasant in liing ahead autumn season; corruptibility of its deputy, for which, however, once again were going to to vote that some worker-farming democrat did not steal in congress; and that circumstance that mister Dzhons buies the house beside mister Brown, but mister Brown too much пьет. Hereon they with knowledge of the deal compared the price on lady hose in "Emporiume" beside Tarra, in department store "Beauh Arts" and in shop Duluta, Minneapolisa and Sent-Flap while mrs Denver not воскликнула: - Dear me! We so well got into conversation, I and notions had not that so late; but that this, Niyl if I do not mistaken, you want to leave? She did not mistaken. 26 The Waves Upper lake were splashed amongst dark denuded cortex of the coast birches, cedar and pine, in бревенчатой дачке plowed freshness and влагой. They were dipped in get cold water and darted out on coast, визжа from delight, but on small lake in thick Errouhedskom wood, where water was an теплее, they rode on boat, caughted the perches and, pelting in water banks from air-tight, shot at him in purpose. But also in this peace silence Niyla nor for minute did not abandon the alert. In these edge at one time veins чиппева. Ksavie Peak, probably, conducted its canoe a halitosis under that, when kept the way on Tander-Bay. And presently else вблизи their дачки was a small reservation, and Niyl amused itself thought that he inspire its Biddi love to redskin brother and since time will be able her to say that she not only very glorious blanching девочка, but else немножко чиппева and немножко negro woman, and as this simply and prettily! Like all loving parent in all timeses, Niyl consoled itself: "My generation went bankrupt, but this, new, generation will change the world, and will in good faith go on election under rain even, and will not drink more one cocktail infect, and for ever is through with war". He sat with Biddi in machine beside въезда in small становище, where women(woman) and children чиппева, settled on summer in wigwam, sold the tourist of the basket and игрушечные canoes from birch bark. - Biddi! See on small индейчиков, truth, they pretty? Want to play with them in hunter or in anything else? - No. - Why no, my good? - They dirty. - A Small indian ребятки? Dirty? - Yes. - Well, can be, and so, but but then think - they know, as beavers build the dams and... the mm... beside them headdresses from feather. Realy this not interesting? - No. - That zh such if they немножко dirty? They simply закоптились beside campfires. After all папина дочка too sometimes comes home not much-that чистенькая! - They look like ниггеров! - А than плохи... the negroes? - I their do not love. - А you has a familiar negroes? - Yes. - Who, except Belfridy? - Devochka Eva. - She not at all negro woman. She blanching. - I her(its) do not love. - But know you, Elizabeth that you behave, as very foul child? - Right before from diaper? - А, devil! - Aha, папочка, you that has said? You has said "devil". The Devil, devil, devil, devil, devil! Biddi, purely on-feminine been able to use his(its) miss, was in this minute such беленькая, rose, merry, such charming that he choked with любви to her and with heavy despair has thought that small, гаденькие prejudice "decent people" possess where greater destructive power, than bombs and сверхмощные planes. That's why that he fortnight could do nothing not that's why that News now was for it "white wife of the colour husband", he became to stare to her during walks amongst covered lichen of the s. She not so clever and worse knows the life, than nurse Konkord, thought he, she not such hot and beautiful, but then in her more clarity, self-restraint. The News - "charming sample of the young married american" - a perfect wife and mother, sportswoman, well-read (more or less), is interested that that is going on on light. She it is enough благочестива for жительницы Silivan-parka and despises сантименты. To be short, in her there is all, except индивидуальности. For several short weeks he has got to know that without sufferings and doubts can not be a full-fledged human personality. The News never in lifes did not suffer, during sort except, never felt no convulsions and doubts, in marriage night except. In one she, undoubtedly, was above many and many virtuous womans: she did not deliver the pleasures conscious cruelty. But Niyl began to understand, as unconscious cruelty can cause the pain. The News having recalled childhood, hummed: "I black, black, black, ah if me to turn white!" "This about me and about Biddi. Black. Nigger. Essence so repugnant that thinned woman, like News, and does not заподозрит in him abilities to feel the insult". Arrived on the run the Prince, shaking off after купанья in puddle, and News has scolded him(it): - In vain we give you new name, pawl! No you not prince! You simply dirty, никудышный ниггер! And so trustful smiled Niylu. He saw that News has perceived his(its) love to negro, as mixture of the madness and mischief. Why appear her in such absurd light? But fortnight - a big period for исцеления, when you surround the north magical sight a sulphur s and orange lichen, душистых pine and red canoe, slitherring on sulphur-blue iron;press;pet неоглядного lake. They bathed in icy water, run the взапуски, as children, in spite of his(its) lameness, and in city he returned to be cured from its mania. The eager young business man returned In city - white. 27 That Niyl will be a director of the bank, and besides with salary tenfold more high, than beside mister Pratta, was for News so obviously that about this did not cost and speak. Much more her(its) occupied the future house, worthy their new position in society. Niyl chuckled on her(its) ambition plan - buy beside Bertolida Eyzengerca half of his(its) hill and build there ideal жилище, about which dreams each woman. But can be, jested he, her(its) will interest the house in stiletto modernist style - complitly glass and smooth wall, he saw one such, when... the word, he sometime saw such house. Well, no! Nothing so cool and вычурного to her no need. She already all придумала - a stone mansion in the manner of norman lock, only with застекленными verandah, enormous drawing room with wooden panel and become by closet for drink and puppet house for Biddi, and to in him - or this already foolishly? - "was a puppet bathroom with the present pluming! - For it much it is important? - has asked Niyl. - Well else! After all she only once in lifes will be a small девочкой! Work on designing the norman lock advanced already So that they have solved to buy the new gas plate. The War with Japan ended, and News did not hide that her(it) in alike measure pleases as liing ahead return friends and familiar with the Pacific ocean, so and that plants will now switch with production of the weapon on fabrication all the manner of economic treasure - a plastic dressing tables, glass coffee-pot, machines for dishwashing. She already thought over, what board from not yet invented fabric will book for Biddi, when years through twelve will equip her(it) in college Brin Epidemic deathes. For matutinal morning meal she has offered Niylu: - Let's I shall today arrive in city, you will feed somewhere me, but afterwards I shall show you that gas plate - a subject of my girlish daydreamings. This not plate, but delight, загляденье, charming, luxury, blow, ideal, and I price her(its) превыше добродетели - anyway, profits from it more. The Plate really turned out to be best, and News exulted: - With such plate and our miserable кухонька will become looks like that lock that has prepared us fate. He вздохнул: - But you even so love our house? - A Gentlemen, Niyl, yes as it were I nor raved the future chamber, I simply adore our lodge - our гнездышко, which can not beside us to deprive even the взбалмошное democratic government. Approaches the crisis - please, we are again resettled here and shall raise the onion in bath, and all us will be an all the same - apropos, you do not know that this for herb such? Ah, da. - She has indicated the eye on seller, which waited, grew old crossbreed on bosom ruki. - They here love to charge, you try, can although five dollars выторгуешь? At the same day to his(its) table in bank subnet Ash Devis and has said the official tone, on event if anyone услышит: - Possible you to disturb, mister Kingsblad? - We here one, Ash. - Niyl, I with request again. The Foul news. In South Carolina several colour veterans are arrested for murder, which they could not make. We with Sofas collect the money for invitation attorney. Let's all that can. But warn that if you on thoughtlessness will give me at least one cent, - certainly, we from you whole blood on drop высосем. Niyl has pretended, how much he can give, and has drew a cheque on little greater amounts. He suddenly затосковал on light, ironic, devastating shower to conversation Asha, Klema, Sofas. - When you all possible? - has asked he zhadno. - a Cage now not will soon be in city. But you come somehow to us to eat, can be, I bag залучить Sofas? You Want today? This time he has lain the News nearly automatically. But he with sadness felt that already never will be able to divide her(its) delight on cause дивной gas plate. The Poor News - supercilious, as outstanding lady, trustful, as small child. Sitting with Devisami and Sofas at the table, which appeared from beneath book regiments and has turned the corner empty and strict room in table, he in bewilderment kept quiet. They are a veins in the world, where Our Mister Kingsbladu from the Second National was not a move; and than more he repeated over and over again itself that Sofas for it - a taboo, that соблазнительнее seemed her(its) gentile brown hands, that peacefully built, that moving certain, as beside master-краснодеревца. He without appetite sent in mouth piece steak (which preceded excellent mushroom soup) and has finally asked: - About than this you argue? Who you name "turk", and why he scoundrel? The Sofas have answered little has grown old: - One colour, certain Vanderbilid Litch - an usurer single in city possible Kvisling from colour. But you this hardly interesting. - Why? - What you, inherently, deal before our cares? We live under signboard "for colour" Only, but to you this does not pertain, captain. "Only not dialects! Not dialects to her that you colour! Molchi! Not dialects nothing! You has already said Ashu and Vulkeypam - will be enough. Podozhdi, подожди!" But spoke itself already: - Pertains and to me since I have heard most recently that I too somewhat colour. The Lips her(its) opened, fine finger with jammed in them cigarette замерли midair, she often задышала, afterwards surprise was changed sorrowful empathy. The Nurse, in past - a girl from provincial borough, strerched to him with tender participation, but has spoken певичка with Brodveya: - Well yes? He has heard that his(its) criticize, well-disposed, but firmly. - No, here is deft gremlin, - умилялась the Sofas, - pretended white, and if only that, but I and did not guess! - But I dialect to you, I knew itself not! - He, truth, did not know, - has said Ash tone of the school teacher. - Ah, throw! - did not calm don Sofi. - Yes as you, mite Niyl, could not feel negro rhythm in itself? After all beside who skin blacken, beside that soul clear, in him blood boils and passion is seethed, and the whole he packed this most мумбо-джумбо, which of Africa! - Enough, Sofas! - has stopped her(its) Ash. - In general, you understand me. Let presently I simply foolled around - Harlem wanted to recall, - but, sworn the god, I simply do not understand, as possible, нося in itself african genes, воображать that belong to to rough, insensible freak, which refer to as itself white race! Anyway, congratulate, expensive! - Will Be enough! - has said Ash. - Bear in mind, Niyl, her(its) african passions - a most net pretence, either as her(its) hate to white - this heterogeneous group of the population of the globe, made many value. The Sofas - a common neighborly public деятельница. But... Some "but" was in all that spoke Ash and Sofas (in that that spoke March, no "but" was not since March nothing do not speak). Than closer Niyl heard them, that сложнее seemed their twofold attitude to him - as to friend, who it is necessary to protect, and as to neophyte, which follows to use as VWVplay a trump in interest of the whole race. Not considering with his(its) feeling, they voiced the considerations like that that: "Even though this will be heavy - little heavy, only first, - can be, you all cost(stand) frankly to declare that you negro?" But they have solved to give him else little periods. He and in head did not come that divulgence of the secret, which will cover his(its) disgrace or glory, can depend on anyone, except it most. Now he has understood that разоблачил itself rashly and irreparable and that from whimsy these three persons and Vulkeypov - any one of Vulkeypov - depends, issue him(it) or no. But together with light awe came the relief: now Sofas, Ash and March him their own, native. When Sofas rose, he has said: - I провожу you before your machine. He sat with her in her(its) стареньком двухместном car and kept her(its) hand, uncommonly become warm hand, radiated that special heat, which does not note the thermometer, which seems that chilly and even, that hot and quivering. But Sofas, right before lauded free joys джунглей, has as if left in itself. When he became допытываться: "If all will hear that I negro, promise you change me that, who I loss?" - she has angrily yelled on it: - Yes well you to devil, nobody you will not lose, who cost to save! You uzh do not wait from us, black man, pity to person, who had happiness to become the black man? - And then and there, having changed anger on favour: - Well, nothing, nothing, no need to cry! - In accuracy such tone his(its) persuaded Vestl. - a Boy has offended - an arrogance посбили? Well, ma console. She has kissed him(it). Never his(its) so did not kiss - so firmly, so tenderly, so eloquent. But she was quickly postponed: - Forgive, I not safe with white man, but beside you although heart good and black, brains else white, as beside infant. Good night! He watched after тарахтящей machine: "Can Not I crush this on News - she so is carried with its gas plate. It is Necessary be chosen thereof african world. Too he built for plain folks, like us with News. Pratt, I return home!" 28 All already returned with wars, all his(its) friends: Sort Oldvik, здоровяк Dzhad Brauler, dandy Eliot Hansen. All of these returned and noisy assured that even in this gone mad world old fellow Niyl could not change and did not change. The Days passed, but he did not meet neither with Ashem, nor with Sofas. To dinner could be the guests, that Dzhad with wife, that Eliot with wife, and invisibly Niyl newly became on all item by Thoroughbred Young Banker. His(its) race casus simply appeared him in VWVappear in the dreams or in delirious nightmare. Before здравомыслием friends to recent fantasies were shown by sentimental nonsence, and he even ready was believe that Native Oldvik, former for it unchangeable sample in dance, in хоккее, in art to tie the tie, never spoke that cruel and unjust words about soldier-negro, which heaveses to him in memory. He heard, as in Federal club Sort discussed the behaviour these soldier with other demobilized by officer, colonel Lions Tarrom. The Sort was only major, but in much greater degree major, than Tarr - a colonel; so at least once seemed Niylu. The Lions Tarr before war worked the assistant controlling in "Emporiume", department stores its father. He was skinny, gangling, carried the spectacles, and though, reportedly, differed, managing big counterattack in Ardennah, was somehow it is difficult itself to represent this typical salesman from haberdashery commissary waving саблей or in general with weapon in hand then Sort Oldvik, seemed, must was there is porridge by dagger, scratch occasionaly the bayonet and write the amorous letter by sword. When colonel Tarr became with emotion to extol the courage black soldier, Sort захохотал, and Niyl вторил to him though and not very certain. But afterwards on he has again found the doubts, when he has met the ardent защитницу a negro on behalf of own great sister Patricii, дочери his(its) uncles, Emeri Saksinara, eager merchant pump and valve. The Boards always was a pretty girl, but немножко дикарка and touch-me-not. After military service (she was a second lieutenants in feminine voluntary parts of the NAVY) she returned other person and now was vividly interested all that occurs around. She hotly extolled the black sailor, but has once upon a time puzzled Niyla such remark: - I resolutely refuse the rumour, is woke;waked Docheri American Revolution - a feminine branch Ku-клукс-clan, - after all in Clan no nor one negro, but in GRANT their must be how much are pleased, once first person, murdered during American Revolution, was a negro. The News resented: - As not shame on you, Stalemate, here is and start;put hereon womans on front! Niylu became not on itself. An invited Sort Oldvik was To dinner with its beautiful, rouge by wife Dzhenet. Biddi have allowed a little later to lie in this evening, and when "uncle Sort" came, she so and hung on him. She has even moved a suggestion that if she will give to sit else half an hour, speak to him about their own deal, she promises two with half of the day well itself to conduct. - You splendid hit it off with детьми, probably, and with soldier too, - has said the News a Sort. At dinner, the Sort developed the detailed plans comparatively future its девятилетнего of the Graham, whose life way was already is completely destined. Graham lay ahead, following on foot father, go to Lorensvill, two-three summer to conduct in Kulverskoy Military Academy, successfully finish the rate in Prinstone, but then in Harvard, on law school, enter the companion in company father, put on the uniform dress coat to National Guard, be a true gentleman, marry the true lady and, when hour пробьет, become on protection English-American Civilization, as well as Assotiations Attorney against portuguese, italian, jew, китайцев, defeatist and панисламистского of the alliance. And if повезет, дослужиться not simply before major, but before brigadier general. There is its logic Beside feeling, instant and непостижимая, and, following this logic, Niyl addressed the thought to Uintropu Brusteru, son преподобного Ivena. Lucky Uintrop! His(its) will not send in глазетовом casket to sail on wave Prinstona and офицерского of the club; he can with honour to remain independent and poor. And, following same logic, notwithstanding given itself word to exercise caution, Niyl has the next day gone to small lodge of the doctor Brustera near May-стрит. Why he this has done, he itself properly did not know, and therefore did not find that to say, having appeared before surprised взором Ivena, his(its) wife Korinny, not such black, as he, and far from such warmhearted, and their детей, Uintropa and Tenkful, these the most net yankee, whose ancestor of the vein in Massachusetts with that old times, as certain very black ancestor-pilgrim run in this blessed edge unless on "Meyflauere", that underground expensive, but this nearly one and ditto. This time Niyl did not lie the News; he has called up and has said Wool that, can be, not to return to dinner home. The Deals. 29 Not that to beside Tenkful and Uintropa skin was much light, than beside their father, or hairs not so курчавились, or nose more protruded onward, but was felt that they as far back as greater degree will realize itself american. The Manner to watch not lowerring eye, go not bending backs - all this did their similar not on product невольничьего hut and cotton field, but on that, than they and were, - on american teenager-schoolboy, in which unusual was, probably, only their unusual emotional softness. When you constantly harden in school that american - the most brave, the most rich and the most generous folk, what ever knew the history, are against the will penetrated by pride that, apropos, not so uzh bad if this pride is moderated more deep and many-sided culture, grafted building. Niyl became awkwardly to explain the reason of its visit: sermon of the doctor Brustera has produced on it indelible impression - he just went past, - "think - call at,". Uintrop immediately fired to him love of the younger brother to senior, but Tenkful has solved that exactly for such man she dreamed to leave married, only hitherto her such did not get. The Seen doctor Brustera without пасторского of the vestment, in brown jacket, white shirt and simple turn blue the tie by butterfly, easier was believe that he not only priest, but also postal employee; and though speech his(its) was an правильнее, but dictionary - a rich man, than beside Niyla (or Sort Oldvika), but collocutor he turned out to be where more merry. The Laughter free poured from his(its) powerful bosom, broad рта, big всепрощающего heart. The Wife his(its) отнеслась to незваному white guest more watchful, more suspicious, with smaller readiness to risk the wellfare to families. The Facial features she had fine, than beside doctor Brustera, particularly nose, as if выточенный from brown agatha. Niyl guessed that him both does not терпится to hear, why he came, and he their well understood: him and most wanted know this. Have Spoken of weather, about town deal, sitting mug in small room, which seemed else теснее from solid typewriter, водруженной on unpainted table, from books on histories, theology, anthropologies, wallowed on ancient easy chair, a seismograph made by sensitivity. Uintrop was in delight that came the guest - a man, who, can be, understands in electricity. He has asked: - You someday were an avateur radio operator? - No, but I had a buddy, which raged this deal. - Go downwards, I shall show you its receiver. Niyl has sincerely felt sorry that нагромождение wire and lamps in teeny подвальчике seems him only bosom of schlock, but when Uintrop boasted: "I and Miami take!" - he проникся sincere respect to him. - But you keep the communication with some иногородним avateur radio operator? - Yes, with one lad in Dallas, Texas. - He negro? - Never asked! Yes no, probably, white - he some foolishnesses speaks of Civil war. Rather then all is? - reproachful has noticed Uintrop, and Niylu became shame on you. - About than you with he talk? - Usually about хай аллаи. I someday shall certainly play. But presently me, certainly, most of all interests радиолокация. You agree that future for радиолокацией? - Certainly, - has said Niyl, знавший about радиолокации only that with her(its) help possible somehow to dodge from iceberg. Uintrop jabberred: - Without fall in earnest concern with electrical engineering in university as soon as me allow;permit. I am an autumn enter in university. - I too learned;learnt in university, - has said Niyl. - Sound! - Rather then early you else? - As this early! I seventeen years! This springtime I, as the best pupil, pronounced the exhaust speech in school - you did not know? - Uintrop spoke without boast, but with genuine gordostiyu. - Well, certainly, me was easy since pope(pa) I helped. We with him four-year program on mathematician passed for two years. Say-ka, mister Kingsblad, you, probably, much concerned with the fish ловлей in Errouhede? - Yes, at one time raged. In lake Soubill remarkable pike. - Eh, here is me! Go fishing, bathe, sleep in tent - a beauty! А instead of that сиди here and listen;hear all these race talks. And to whom they need? At our time only some rustic numskull does not know that between black and white people of no no difference, don't care as between black and white котятами. For you this news? - No, certainly that is to say more or menee. - Niyl has hurried to evade from the further questions, воскликнув with zest: - But why you not to conduct summer in Errouhede? I shall indicate you good small town. The Boy was unscrewed and has mumbled: - You forget. On these resorts colour do not let. Even such, as pope(pa) and ma. Oh, probably, and really not so uzh this senselessly, all these talks... Yes afterwards beside us and money came short. I to come all summer to work to save up for university. - But what beside you functioning, Uin? - M-m, yes here is nothing best was not sewn on - asked in electric company, but there with me and talk did not want; and in радиомагазинах too. So I work at station, my sexes in departure lounge and in male уборной. It is Necessary was придумать some explanation its unexpected visit. Having Returned with Uintropom from cellar, Niyl has said mrs Bruster: - Me to want to report you that you, faithfully, and know themselves. Your son on rarity gifted boy. I горжусь the acquaintance with him. And he personifies the phenomena, which I exceedingly interest and personally and as representative of the bank: prospect of the development our so named national minority - a finns, pole, negro, lithuanian and... - His(its) ethnographic cognitions issyakli. - And all in general! I should like to understand in this. You will Take me in pupils? Iven Bruster has taken him(it) else before that, as he was born. Korinna Bruster, as judged by expression of her(its) person, prone was take him(it), when he will grow up. - Beside me to you there is request: позовите of the doctor Asha Devisa and mrs Devis and, probably, miss of the Sofa Konkord and allow me to regale you all dinner in закусочной, which I have noticed here not far. Am afraid, this not quite politely, such later invitation, but if you agreed... Well as was not to encourage such ardent pupil! On road in закусочную Uintrop and Tenkful - a youth free from "race complex", - went near by its new buddy by banker, having grasped him(it) under hands, interrupting one another told him about its puppy collie on moniker Aldzhernon Suinbern. "But that if we were met Sort Oldvik?" The Long rack occupied nearly all premises закусочной, but were in her and tables, like card, with chair from winding wire. The Napkins were paper. In card were listed: rib steak, pork, steak on-гамбургски and sirloin, which already ended; gave the young girls, tender, diligent, but inexperienced. All were, as in all cheap ресторанчиках of the country, in which democracy began with menu, modes and sought-after словечек and, probably, on that and ends. The Majority eating were a worker-negroes, some even in overalls. But Niyl, beside which already appeared "their own" in this black world, has seen John and Mayors Vulkeyp and greeted their so with joy, as never greeted Eshiela Denver with супругой. But when beside Brusterov with Sofas, Ashem and March was tied свойский talk for pork with cabbage, him already much easier was receive a visit participation at him. Probably, no nothing notable in that that talk this rotated around горестей negro. And let even a great deal Niyl heard not for the first time - realy mister Pratt and mister Denver did not repeat over and over again without the end about горестях banker or Sort Oldvik about горестях solid attorney and huntsman on wild weft? In this evening point at issue was преподобный doctor Dzhet Snud - probably, most big dirty trick, what only водилась in Grande-Ripablik. When large religious sects - a methodists, baptists, presbyterian - from moan and cheer "hallelujah" has alterred by sawing to газосветной готике and literary review with амвона, fagged out, weary people rushed in new церкви, where him although and did not promise the growing of the salary, but guaranteed the salvation showers and where they could in всеуслышание scold the devil, pope(pa) Roman and Wall street, remunerating itself that it is impossible in всеуслышание scold хозяев. On lofts, in пустующих shop and storehouse appeared the amazing new sects, like церкви Biblical Saving in Hriste or Communes Saint Izbrannikov Bozhiih, under than follow to understand the groups of ten of the weary mans and womans, eight prayer books and four benches. With purely american предприимчивостью spiritual shepherd, which in more enlightenning timeses were seller of the patent facilities or travelling salesman, have taken into account that possible to do the not bad deals if raise itself in sacerdotal or even episcopal san, remove the premises and придумать name for церкви, - but further whole functioning was reduced to погромче squall yes пожалостней to wail and on three times in session to collect donation. Amongst such the most latest аттракционов in Grande-Ripablik was glorified certain Dzhet Snud, which, not окончив secondary school, was however doctor of the theology. He was shown owner of the big shed will at the corner Put-SHamplen-avenue and Ist-Uinchell-стрит in Put-andy and itself consisted under him main зазывалой, advertising its institution under romantic by name "Tabernacle Bozhiih Revelations, Founded on Bibles: Christ for All, and All for Hrista". On truth to say, преподобный doctor nor in one city could be not kept long five years, since knew only fifteen sermons and fifty vaudeville stunts, and even his(its) gloomy, dazed, always жующим rubber listener under the end became too much. But while deal went, it gave excellent profit since auditorium pleasantly tickled the talks about sinner and infernal fire, and шведки-горничные, german-salesmans and yankee-repairmans felt that if him inaccessible society Hayrema Sparroka in Federal club, that but then they can enjoy the society of the god, angel and righteous shower in Tabernacles Bozhiih Revelations - an input free, donation voluntary (but частые). Dzhet, deafenning listeners long high-flown word, ed сленгом, convinced them in that that if snobs from Scolded American look at them from top to bottom, that and they, in turn, can be a snob and watch with contempt and hate on all jew, negro, roman catholic and socialist. Here, in закусочной, Ash Devis has explained Niylu: - Such Snudov in city several, but Dzhet the most large of them, and their own followers they вышколили so that this ready reserves for Ku-клукс-clan. Quite not funny will, when these gangs христова army dash to beat the wretch a negro and burn their building. You are a friend of our folk; as you think, could you anything undertake against mister Snuda? - I, certainly, try, - has said Niyl. And knew that he, certainly, nothing will not do. To their table subnet young person in military form with stripe of the captain of the air forces, темнолицый, graceful and smiling. Niylu have explained: this captain Philip Uindek, he will go in army with the last rate of the engineering branch Minnesotskogo university and has made much flights on italian front. - Understand, - has said he Niylu, - I, strictly, already have a no right to carry this uniform dress coat, but today beside us was a meeting combat friends. Tomorrow once again надену overalls. - А than you concern with? - My daydream - подзаработать money, marry and return in school. I seemed, pilot, yes with technical formation else, will not difficult find functioning. Well, neither on aerodrome, nor in car company nothing beside I did not leave, even talk not steels, but, fortunately, manage to return on old place, where I worked before school, - in Available(for all) Garage O'TULA, grease monkey and washer of the machines. The Drexel Grinsho, father of my bride, could make me to wash the dishes in restaurant. I, however, has considered that returned hero, which was going to to hold so conservatively, when his(its) will meet with two orchestras and speech of the mayor, more approaches the place in garage, where demobilized white ordinary will shout: "Hey you, blackenning bastard, turn round the живее!" And, as usually, all amicably захохотали on sad fate Phil Uindeka, and itself he louder all. Better uzh to laugh at Ungrateful Republic, than be dejected and pour the tears. One only Niyl did not hide the indignations. But his(its) pleased that this veteran, comrade in arms on italian march, отнесся to him as to friend, and itself he as friend greeted Rayana Vulkeypa, when that appeared - already without uniform dress coat, already not military. Far зашел Niyl, further, than thought itself. As any woman, rejoicing, when her(its) new admirer is favorably accepted in household circle, Sofas Konkord keeped a check on that, as Niyl itself keep with Phil, with Rayanom, with детьми Ivena, and was complacent. This she after dinner has offered Niylu: - Brustery and Devisy go presently on meeting of the Committee - well as otherwise! Without this they sleep do not kick. The Committees - a habit, worse any drug. But we four, I, you, Rayan and Phil, let's go in "Bugi-Vugi", shall watch the черненьких in their most некомитетском type. You after all typical tourist, exploring customs of the slums. Got acquainted with Ashem and with Ivenom and вообразили that all we highbrows with immaculate soul, leading their own соплеменников in ethiopian kindom of the reason. But let's взглянем on that, who conduct, to the most great their displeasure! I uzh not even know, who more abuts against, when his(its) take for hand and тащат in this most kindom, - an ungrammatical farm worker, or tempted townsfolk, or rich brown specialist like doctor Melodi. But anyway, will go to watch the merry девочек. In "Bugi-Vugi" was вдоволь noise and tinsels, but all Niyl has not found here that atmosphere of the vice, which appeared his(its) romantic to imagination. This was a big room in the form of the letter G, the whole in gilt trellis with artificial orchid. The Orchestra - three толстых merry negro in cerise tailcoat and gold(en) derby (the ensemble Diyuka Ellingtona in local scale) - an истязал grand piano, drum and clarinet. The Colour sailors and soldiers danced with factory woman worker, colour and white, in not smaller tightness, than in most road злачных places, where веселятся and rub new-йоркцы. The Girl with chocolate or ashen skin, smiling, but taciturn, whirlled the young negroes, danced with innate concinnity and lightness. Niyl somehow not immediately realized that for one of the table sits Borus Bagdoll, master of the institution, but sprightly girl opposite it, in translucent green chiffon, - Belfrida, and both of them look at it and bare the teeth the teeths. He was ed its fcompanion(satellite): - Yonder sits the girl, which beside us served and which I hate, - Belfrida Grey. The Rakish maiden. Only, please, Rayan, do not try to agitate me and do not prove, - that she victim of the ambience. - But why? Let's approach, speak to her. I her(its) know from childhood. But you, probably, unacquainted such cultural pleasure, what get the slap in the face from cook. And here is Niyl, to great its surprise, has for the first time taken a look in person that Belfride, which much months has rescued under one roof with him, and has seen that this Nell Gvinn, only выточенная from ebony; the same eye, and smile, and briskness, and sprightly ветреность disposition. With languid grace - so, must be, charming saleswoman orange insulted some lord - she has stretched: - Yes this mister Kingsblad! Here is did not expect you to meet in such small town. I thought if uzh you leave from house, so only on occupations in sunday school. - You fine know that I never conducted the occupation in sunday school! - resented Niyl, insulted in its male dignity of the huntsman on wild weft. - Is Woke;waked? - That you now do, Belfrida? Belfrida and Borus exchanged glances, as it is woke;waked question was terribly foolish, but she took pity on on inexperienced white burgher and снизошла before answer: - I have opened the beauty parlor. We two together - I and one more girl. The Clientele beside us only elected, persisting ladies or пасторские wife - and do not calculate that you will manage to twist with some through me. Beside them there is escorts beside all, and such that money do not consider. She вызывающе has looked at Niyla, afterwards hostile has looked at Sofas, afterwards took a look at Borusa and has giggled. Niyl has said pleading: - I hope, you us do not remember the evil, Belfrida. She - carelessly: - No, why. You-that, certainly that with you to take, but mrs Kingsblad good lad. She - with pepper. From white men, like you, especial vim and wait the нечего, but she - she such clever person that negro woman впору. Well, pleased was you to, mister. - Gm... Belfrida, me much sting that we have not got on. Possible, here in многом I guilty. - Else! You always behaved so, as it is woke;waked knew most certainly that I нахалка, well I and became the нахалкой. The Gentlemen gosh! I after all not in гостиной grew! I grew amongst shoe brushes and since thirteen years got accustomed that each counter white will nag to me. When I have entered to you, I first liked to live in separate комнатке, but you with your News were accustomed climb there and laugh at my thing and that beside me is not removed. But by the way, mister, when always happens to to take away the someone else beds, that is done so nauseating that uzh on its watch do not want and think: although beside itself-that possible itself to allow to be a trollop if you hunt. But you and there plunged. And always whispered about me - shu-shu-shu yes shu-shu-shu! - Belfrida, me much sting, honored word. - Well that uzh there. Well, pleased was you. Our mister Kingsblad enough has clear felt that audience окончена, and, having swallowed this, submissively поплелся to its table for silent Sofa, smiling Phil Uindekom and ironic Rayanom. But previously than ready question has haved time to to come off with anyone's lips, he воскликнул: - She simply splendid! Miss of the Sofa Konkord did not become to tease his(its) that that he has got the snub from its former cook. Opposite. She has twitted his(its) marital facetious: - А in what relations you consisted with miss Belfridoy, my nice friend? А? Here is that I wanted know! In secluded small piece of coal stood the table, for which were going to usually старейшины colour colony: Drexel Grinsho, Uosh, cleaner footwear and Poppy, conductor "Borapa", - when he заезжал in city to visit the sister. Today with them was else fourth - a mechanical engineer SHugar Gauz. Phil Uindek as future son-in-law pertained to dignified old Knight Kamchatnyh Tablecloths with tolerance and has dragged Niyla on bow to дядитомовскому table. There not were too pleased, when one of that, from who they got accustomed to get on tea, has disturbed their quotient an джентльменской to conversation. - Mister Grinsho, captain Kingsblad wants to become hereby other our races, and his(its) interests one question: here you are, Poppy, Uoshu happens to close to observe white in most them, so to speak, beauty; so consider you seriously that all white - a fools? The Drexel mistrustful was mowned on Niyla and has mumbled: - No, Phil, no. Simply much uzh they look at all with its bell towers. The Conductor Poppy has ed on Niyla nearly as on person and began: - Hope, captain Kingsblad does not обидится if I shall say that he - one of the little of the clever people, which on facility to travell in "Borape"; but about your question then on me white people - very glorious people, but only all of these exactly children small and for they need the eye yes eye. They nor in than do not understand essentially, as here is we, colour, begin to understand, when else under table on foot go. They exactly that negroes with lower reached Missisipi, which each of us well know, - believe whole that is spoken in sermon and in law. But realy zh they in this guilty, poor fellows? The Drexel has objected: - I about white best opinion, than you, Poppy. Take at least such person, as mister Hayrem Sparrok. Vidal you someday negro, which has made so much million? But after all for this too aptitude is required... And afterwards he me somehow five dollars on tea has ed! "They already have quite forgotten about that that I white. But after all I and not white! Really they see this turn black drop in my shelters?" The Poppy contemptuous was called back: - Mister Sparrok? Yes he most infant and there is. Stuffs, stuffs itself any pill, but in them nothing no, except net sugar, - me doctor spoke, which his(its) cures, doctor Drover, and has allowed me to give him, how much he will want: SHugar Gauz has said: - You uzh, gentlemans, excuse me that I, idle time worker, interfere, but how much I happened to to observe the white gentlemen, so they always itself on wit. Here is my master: will approach to me and will ask, can I adjust the so-and-so tool, but when I налажу, so he засунет for cheek tobacco cud, is cheated, as индюк, and let's форсить before engineer: "Here is, breakwater, I as specialist!" But if they help, so they with you nothing, less sneer and slander less. I uzh now approach to he know, to сукиным детям, - oh, forgive, captain. They sat opposite Niyla, as important black eagle owls, flown down in circle; they have tried was translate the talk on politician; but soon Drexel, завороженный by eternal subject, once again lost on former. He passed the solid school раболепства before white people, but he too often saw, as they пьянствуют and lead a dissolute life in restaurant to stick by cult of the white mister, and if нашелся such white, which wants to know the truth, let gets! - An Approach, speak? There is only one approach to white person - an approach to uncles of the Volume. Humble and truckle, почаще adore his(its) wit, чеши him back - and clean pocket... That is to say this not I so consider, captain, but some other negroes! The Poppy замотал head: - Do Not love I this дядитомовщину. Be able-that and I was able, think... The Oldster Uosh has giggled: - You think, but I do! They are an infant, him конфетку it is necessary. Only much uzh beside them handguns greater and ropes strong. So I and dialect: "Uncle That? Please, here is I uncle That", - but they, oaf, will weigh out VWVtake in and believe... To you this, certainly, does not pertain, mister! - Yes uzh, laugh and give in - on this we, swarthy, dog has eaten! - has said the captain Philip Uindek. But its smile he as it were asked beside Niyla farewells. He conducted the Sofas before her(its) building, in two quarters from May-стрит. He has said: - What colorful impressions I rallied today! I more and more feel itself the present son of its folk. They such... so much stoicisms in that, as they themselves are dared on itself. - My good-natured, but unripe friend, human essence does not be "they", only "we"! Standing up beside her(its) doors, he did not know, kiss her(it) or no. She knew. But he as well as did not guess. Toddling to bus stop, he thought not as much about Sofas as about Uintrope Brustere, which he compared to lucky legal successor Rodneya Oldvika. On whose party he itself, on whose party calls his(its) soldier oath? With hard though and неосознанным by intention he suddenly has turned back and moved to пасторскому lodge Ivena Brustera. In window is seen was his(its) powerful back, hunched on table. The Doctor Bruster left on patter in home robe, look like Field Robsona in dug Otello. Having Found oneself in гостиной, Niyl has said simply - such person do not braid the cock-and-bull stories, as бансерам: - I want to say you one thing, doctor Bruster. I it is necessary to do this soon, otherwise caution will take the top. I have heard that in me there is negro blood, from one distant ancestor. I have told about this Ashu, Sofas, Vulkeypam, but did not tell nobody from white. As you think, must I am opened and declare about this whole world? He hoped that Iven воскликнет: "Certainly!" - and then will possible get angry and protect itself, but Iven dried peacheses: "do Not know... I do not know". Glyadya on Niyla broadly revealled eye, where more look like valorous moor, than on calm ph.d, in this teeny monastery of the knowledges and почтмейстерского of the labour, he listened the history Ksavie Pica, which Niyl has torn off short: - As me now to be, in your opinion? - Simply do not know that you skazati. - a Greater hands Ivena budged, as if wanted to bless kogo-to. - But I seem, absolutely there is no need you to confess in that, what indeed does not exist that there is only absurd american prejudice, - in your rumpled accesories to my folk. - O-o! - Niyl felt the disillusionment that's why that nobody did not want his(its) victims, disillusionment and in ditto time evident relief. - But, Niyl, when I think about hunt my brother, in which all more усердствуют the live-stocks like Dzheta Snuda, when I recall the people, cross господним kindling our martyr's campfires, then me to want to say: "Yes, yes, recant the wife, father, rest and good name and go to us!" But I do not know! Give me to think, previously than I вмешаюсь in your life! Come through several days, but while - while try be prayed, Niyl, - if can! Niyl tried to do the type that ready to follow this благочестивому an advice, but he seemed that he hears the laughter Rayana Vulkeypa. The Buildings, in Silivan-park, where phenomenons to sanctity, like Ivenu Brusteru, seemed so impossible, as reptiles like Dzheta Snuda, Niyl has tried поиздеваться on itself: - Yes uzh, глупее and invent it is impossible: solid, positive person leaves to black man fanatic and begins to whine before him: "Say, sir, possible me to throw the wife, daughter and house to drink with Belfridoy in "Bugi-Vugi"? But this did not help. He has recalled, as as far back as university days зашел in improvised church once upon a time, where rambling white preacher, надсаживаясь, yelled: "If uzh you попался the gentlemen a god in paws, squall and get free how much are pleased, don't care does not уйдешь nowhere!" 30 He itself will listen this преподобного of the doctor Dzheta Snuda and itself will judge, so he красноречив and so зловреден, as about he speaks the devastated world; and News he will too take with you on this deaf fringe of the hail human. Ibo as it were powerfully his(its) nor влекло the timeses to Sofas, him and in head did not come that this can be reflected on his(its) feeling to News - a particularity of the male phyche, which испокон ages forced to despair the free womans in their competition with legal wife. Smeshnee whole was that on offer to make this excursion in slums of the spirit News has answered the rebuke: - Fu, Niyl, why you to listen this heinous куклуксклановца with his(its) расистскими бреднями? - Least of all I sympathize this бредням. I отношусь to negro with big respect, - has softly answered Niyl. - Long ago? "Has Was enough beside it courage to stand if I have said her? Oh, do not be the fool, Kingsblad!" Here just came to guests cousin Patrician Saksinar, ex-officer of the fleet so they have seized and her(it). - Though, - has noticed the Stalemate, - I not любительница to listen тявканье дворовых собачонок. The Tabernacle Bozhiih Revelations was modest and sleazy, as creche, in which was born the Rescuer, but advertising part stood on vastly greater height here. This was a shed, contained person eight hundred - nine hundred, сколоченный from old boards and hastily painted so they are seen were all holes from nails. On wall, left on вонючий, заросший бурьяном abandoned lot, where wallowed the torn shoes and unimproved car buses, was выведена трехфутовыми letter inscription: "Truth about International Cabal - from mouths Almighty god and doctor Snuda!". Inwardly bright red posters were unsticked on wall, expressing soviet first-night and pope(pa) Roman in the manner of line, surrounded by languages of the flame, - "This else where nor went", what has noticed the Stalemate Saksinar. А in far-ends of the shed hunged the diagram, graphically proving that Napoleon and That Peyn, as well as all Rokfellery and Vanderbilidy are found in hell that promised the poor baker, butcher and factory workers, filled common-room, very занимательный дивертисмент moreover gratis and on ages eternal. In common-room reigned pleasing home atmosphere: here were a father and full-grown modest families, on-festive VWVdress someone up, children, сосущие lollipop, - "salt of the earth", which under the direction of dictator can change in saltpetre. The Stalemate has whispered: - Glorious, plain folk, ah, with what pleasure they splendid and simply lynched anyone. As admirers Avraama Linkolina I tenderly love them, but not to should like that I get this ветхозаветной to gang with some Snudom at the head, be I jewess, итальянкой or negro woman. Niyl has thought about that, as Stalemate - a great-granddaughter Ksavie Pica. And immediately these human persons around it, pale and weary, appeared before him terrible, as that that made faces at light by torchlight in his(its) VWVappear in the dreams. Before begin services piligrim thronged beside input in tabernacle, gossiped, consented to that that from rains and machination Vatican city recently simply деваться nowhere. The Children chased after for dog, dogs chased after for black bug. Mrs Dzhet Snud, dry, intimidated woman, stood for ironing board, transformed in book counter, and sold the journal under name "Gorniy call", illustrated type Jerusalem and portrait of the colonel Charles August Lindberga. The Ushers, thick, look like mason good lad in blue, thick, look like stone, Coat, were taken уминать whole human mass in hutches откидных кресел, but on bandstand BRASS BAND Hristovyh Trubachey, played "Hello, Central, Give Me Paradise", hastily перешел on "Vnemlite Chorus Herald Celestial", and under this invigorate music modern variant Celestial Herald - преподобный doctor Dzhet Snud - has darted out on bandstand, was lowered in the middle her(it) on lap, has biased the head, not so, however, low to it is impossible was consider the auditorium, and, возвысив its громоподобный voice, became to assure the gentlemen of the god that if him is pleased will listen, that he will hear today solving the many inconceivable secrets. Hereon Snud вскочил, unexpectedly gambol for person, right before outlived high convulsion of the personal conversation with creator, and in two jumps found oneself beside pulpits, on which lay the bible, stood the carafe with water and protruded the bunch of the thistle. But previously than proceed with its разоблачительной sermon, which (unless consider the money collection) formed the nail of the program, he has forced the listeners to sing three hymns moreover дирижировал itself such gesture, as it is woke;waked scarecrow raven, but then threatened him eternal punishment for scarcity доброхотных даяний in mug for collection. Snud was not similars neither on usher of the mystic cult, nor on dangerous demagogue, nor on swindler, he reminded sooner greedy provincial shopkeeper - a master to distribute goods in shop window and thunderstorm careless debtor. He could play the role бикфордова cord for their own followers, but outwardly this was small, thickset, shaggy huckster in наимоднейших восьмиугольных spectacles without mount. He was monotonous, he was an illiterely, he was congested. But he had two remarkable grants: splendid voice, on which he played, as on labial harmonica, and else more splendid absence shame. His(its) absolutely did not interest, who and for that lynch, were him are provided his(its) six thousand dollars per annum. This numeral was his(its) weakness, his(its) pride since on trade скобяным by goods, which he previously concerned with, he never earned more than 22 dollars 75 cents at week, and many from brother-скобяников laughed at him and spoke that never from he will not leave the sense. He often jested after of prayer gathering: "Us with mama of the roe and champaign not it is necessary, but we want before its death to Atlantik-City and make the journey in Saint Land, yes so that stop in the best hotel". His(its) not once compared to Avraamom Lincoln and with Hiyui Longom, and many saw in him potential вождя Simple Folk. Dzhet not so age: he was born at the beginning initially девяностых years, and he will else surprise the sceptic-journalist, which consider his(its) eccentric and small fry. He began its speech with energy of the person, got accustomed be poured with water over by cool water on morning. - You wait from me sermon, but I have prepared you good tongue-lashing. Has Made sick and tired me to see, and gentlemen god has made sick and tired to see, as gang жидов-communist that has seed in Washington, will return our earnings and entrusts the care about education our posterity dark agent Rome and Moscow! He set off in explanations, which, on essences of the deal, nothing did not differ from explanations of the stylish major Rodneya Oldvika. He has declared that exists the International Cabal, in which participate the jewish bankers, english aristocrats like сэра Krippsa, soviet agents, mohammedan mullahs, indian political agitators, roman catholics and american trade-union leaders ("not about ordinary unionist speech, brother my, - after all and we unionists with you; but I want изобличить full-grown crook, which stole on managing posts"). He has explained that англичане - a lost knee израилево. He has explained that at measurements of the Big Pyramid possible to predict nearly all on light - here is realy only will not predict, will go tomorrow rain if you were going to on picnic, - yes, here, probably, Pyramid will not help though in general he could порассказать miracle about this most Piramidki. Else удобнее for предсказательской practical persons, continued he, Apocalypse and book Iezekiilya, chapters thirty eighth and thirty девятая. Biblical Rosh, has reported he, -, certainly, Russia, but Mesheh - Moscow. He has added: - A Little old man from Senate USA puff and toil azh before perspiration - will only rub beside them not forehead, but under mouse since for лбом-that no nothing! - all try to decide, as will further be a deal beside uncles Sema with Russia. Came these senators to I yes have asked me: "Doctor that will?" I they have said: "Boys! - has said I im. - Here is I have presently peeked in bible and then shall exactly say you that will!" But, can, you think that beside someone will be enough the wit to choose me in senators? As, держи pocket broader! There is here, truth, one sweetie old woman, lives on farm in county Tamarak, good христианка and returning помощница in our deal, bless her(its) gentlemen, - so here is she writes me that each evening before сном is prayed that I have brought forth and have elected in Senate, and that I went to Washington, and чтоб god through me could finally вмешаться in deal government. But I her on this has written: "No, sister my! - has written I ey. - Surrenders me that here, in our nice Grande-Ripablik, where full-packed cardsharp, and agnostic, and panderer, necessities in me more, and if on that will be a will господня, and if you, phony христиане, beside which soul and purse on lock always, расщедритесь for gentlemen of the god more than on ten - fifteen cents, - that we зададим the fervour and satan, and jew, and radical, and Carstvie God's to begin beside us here, in this small borough, like that, as no time it began in godforsaken Vifleeme - not in those, in America, but in those, in Saint Land". Under the end, after small pleasing интермедии of the collection of the donation, voice Snuda зазвучал is died, engraved and гулко, exactly copper bell забил: - I today did not speak of our black brother, but come tomorrow, and I announce you something about these проклятых son Vaala, which god for sins gave turn black skin and on ages eternal has done their servant of the white person. Otkroyu I you and insidious замысел jew: return us all under heel black выродкам, about than even newspapers to write are afraid, - here is then you tremor проймет and hairs beside you встанут дыбом. Did Not yet come time to revive the Clan, but it will come, and I want that all you, sweetheart my brother in Hriste, have understood, for what we erect on high place cross reviving, kindle the fire decontaminating, take in hands book, in which is concluded wisdom, and whip and rope, which gentlemen itself has turned against me in temple, but we shall now turn against devil in black satanic look, abandoned hospitable South that crowd to invade on our factories, in our restaurants, in our building and beds even! The Fact! Here is come tomorrow - and you much what will hear! But now, about lovely Jesus, любвеобильный gentlemen our, do;make so that our present-day speech not our power and oratory, but твоею by favour got into heart whole страждущего mankind - a gentlemen litter-о-лимся. Back went to light of the bright september moon; Niyl rules silently, kept quiet and Stalemate, having said only: - In the sense of messes in brain this Snud simply works miracles. He умудрился to inspire me liking and to communist and to roman catholic. The News chattered: - Me he did not like. Terribly vulgar and besides round ignoramus - exactly that swarthy buffoons-preachers, about which always tells the Sort Oldvik, remember? "Brother, do not thieve the watermelon more, than as one should thieve the black детям a gentlemen god!" She merrily захохотала, and Niyl has thought that шуточки such are reaped, as News, sooner, than the whole vilething Snuda, can spur his(its) for ever уйти to "swarthy buffoon-preacher" Ivenu Brusteru. When he again was to Brusteru, straight with functioning, he happened to дожидаться while that return from its post office. In стареньком sweater Iven looked like common worker. He has softly placed Niylu hand on shoulder and has looked at it tender, unflinching hard and a little mad glance byzantine saint. - Sit, please, Niyl. You Know that I here have somehow done? Has Gone to Silivan-park and times two прошелся past your building. Saw in садике mrs Kingsblad and your дочурку. They-that me, certainly, have not noticed. I was very careful. Simply saw - goes some negro, probably, to the neighbor's cook in guests. Both of them charming, and wife and девочка, - a right, I have even felt to him love, knowing that they your. And I have asked itself, have I right to make something such that involved them in Fight Humiliated? No, have not. This _моя_ fight, but not their - and not your too, Niyl! Be can, your debt before this child and this nice, beautiful, such calm on type by woman more, than your debt before folk, - if at all there is beside you such debt. I not even can say that gentlemen you will indicate the way. One of two things: or you already believe in this themselves, or do not believe never. Niyl! Do Not speak, no need! Uintrop ворвался in room - he always exactly врывался, rather then entered - and закричал: - А, captain! Teach me to play in genie-рамми? - Certainly teach if only you will call me Niyl. - What want. But possible, I better shall you to call - a captain? Adore the military ranks! - has said this young american scientist-reactionary. 31 This left accidentally - nothing beforehand weighted here was not. He has met the Sofas Konkord on street, has offered her to lunch together, and she agreed. He did not think about that that here there is "компрометирующий moment" until has heard the own halfhearted question: - But where we with you could go? Here only he has understood that means this question, and itself was terrified, - after all, inherently, he has said this woman, who was an умней and culture all him familiar: "do Not forget that you swarthy wench and not in any low-grade chesp eating place will let in such monster. Probably, even that I have invited you, possible consider as завлекательство with your parties". But nor shade of the guilty embarrassment was in her(its) calm answer: - Be Possible met in pavilion "Peacock tail". This negro ресторанчик on Old North Military Road - here and now after tumbling from Big-Needle-ривер. Tomorrow, want? Exactly at hour. Inherently, quite there is no need was so be agitated, as if the next day he lay ahead the wedding or gallows. He was a solid person, family man and financier without awe and rebuke, and was going to whole only lunch in restaurant with интеллигентной by nurse from town hospital. And even so whole day and the whole evening of his(its) grindstone thought that he guilty before News that if anyone will see him(it) in negro pub, his(its) will fire with services that he not a bit not better reprobate Kertisa Havoka. He tried straight to put before itself question: "What you it is necessary from this women(woman), what you wanted if deal depended from your desire only?" - but did not find the answer, except enough зыбкого of the consideration that if he solve openly to acknowledge itself negro, he needs will be a friend, dedicated, than Ash, more manly, than News. Shorter, he needs will be a Sofas. The Pavilion "Peacock tail" was an низенькой, shaky хибаркой from old boards, hardly closed by plaster, and, when white person, having put(deliver)ed beside крыльца its machine, fell into common-room, old small negro-master, two sound negroes-waiter, five or six negroes-visitors - all were crowded on it with alert. In their primitiv presentation "burden of the white person" certainly form the count, summonses and troubles. - E-e, here must come miss of the Sofa Konkord, - began he. - But you know miss Konkord? - mistrustful has ed the master. - Yes, know. - A nurse? - Here is, here is. - A Black man? - D-da, seems. - First once слышу about such. You not have there got, mister. Calm, delivered laughter ed behind, from the side, with all parties, but previously than he has haved time to to resent this rough manifestation to race intolerance, in common-room has flown the Sofas winded from hurry, threw the master: "Hello, Panti!" - and greeted Niyla wholly decorous: "Weather today on rarity simply!" Panti has unwillingly conducted him table in underlined insulated small piece of coal beside far-end of the rack, where on wall hunged the portraits of the negro celebrities of the bandstand and boxing ring, and has asked the certain tone: - A Terrapin on-south, so that? - Hot on-мерилендски two times, and march thence, Pant, - has said the Sofas. Then, обращаясь to Niylu: - Well, as you like this обжорка? - Here not so bad. - Terribly. Worse does not can be. But I got accustomed, and afterwards exactly in such places white gentlemans tempt in their own network of the poor chocolate beauties. - A Sofas! I know that you love to jest, but you do not think really that I have invited you to lunch with э-э... - With evil intentions? Beside me such skittish мыслишка. - A Honored word, me even offensively! With what you have taken? - But that else could reduce us together? We with you not company. That is to say I, certainly, not about tone of the skin dialect. At our time only недоразвитые cretins believe in this rubbish. But I toilling woman and public деятельница, but this worse whole, - I that the most boring fly, which all time hums on head and does not give rest prosperring persona like you. We get on can not. Don't care as cat with dog. - Can be that cat and dog much become attached to one another, Sofas, even sleep together. - But, but, about sleepings together this you leave, my mundane friend! - What there to devil mundane! I am a provincial and to lights of the big city to got accustomed much less you. In me so little mundane, and I so uncouth that I hitherto did not come to mind like to thoughts, give you honored word. But properly speaking, I do not see, why me not to fall in love in you and not to do you all heinous offers, what relies on to do the gentleman. Why, but? - Let's discuss. First, you I do not know. - We with you knew each other in five minutes after the first acquaintance. - Secondly, you I not particularly like. - Too untruth. Beside you in eye is written that I нравлюсь you. - Well here is else. I simply bear the style - exactly so must watch the нестрогие of the girl in doubtful institutions like this. - Dear me, Sofas, you themselves know that I much охотнее has invited you in "Fiezole"... - Or to itself home? In approached steel silence his(its) voice has sounded enough coldly: - You know that for this I shall take else time - not concerning even question about that, insofar ethical introduce its wife with its sweetheart. I can not for полгода leap from окошечка pay-desks on tribune of the political agitator. Too long formed the кассирские skills. To enter you in its house, I earlier must fall into it itself openly. - But that will say on this News? Aha! You have pulled that's why that I have named this woman "News"! Do Not try to deny, Niyl. Poor boy, after all you well-mannered in prejudice, what world not знавал with timeses of the feudalism. Probably, I even could love you that you broad-shouldered, and white-rose, and brawny, and honest just as its last friend I loved that he was fine, dark-skinned and perfidious. But with me enough любви stealthily. I am a nurse and well do its deal. And I american and openly горжусь this. When I review on Upper lake, or on valley Rut-ривер, or on coast steep slopes Missisipi for Red-Uingom, all in I замирает, and I whisper: "Where that, in lump heart so destroy, чтоб did not come off with mouths his(its): "Here is he, my edge, my edge native!" - and recall about that that eight generations my limit veins in America. But we, descendant old-time dynasty, very fastidious in their own inclination. If beside you have been enough the courage to acknowledge itself negro and your icy News has repulsed you - about, I saw her(it) afar, on counsel on questions of the public health! - and you have resorted to me offended, sufferring, I, can be, has loved you - persisting love, бэби! But you never on this comes short... You will suddenly become terribly, and you запищите: "Ma, News!" - and влезете back in its banker skin, white, than general Dzhekson at sunday day. - Can be, you and rule;govern, Sofas, can be, you and rule;govern. He looked at her(its) dark-scarlet lips, on proturberance bosom under жакетом male cover. He saw in her woman, hot and влекущую, and saw in her tempted human shower, which knows the ill, живущее in the world, and fights with him to dare. He liked the ironic storehouse of her(its) lips, which he never видал spiteful ed, liked coffee матовость her(its) cheeks, in contrast with which women(woman) Silivan-parka seemed faded. But more physical beauty captivated his(its) her(its) emotional power. - Yes, - an буркнул on. - do Not know, dare I am opened. This signified put(deliver) on card too much. And afterwards - you rule;govern. I love the News. - As it is woke;waked I this does not know! - But if will happen the trouble, I not certain, will be enough beside it power to remain with me. As she can remain? She from childhood got accustomed to believe that god created the world single to crown its creation by League Formed Young Womans. But, signifies, - when... if you need me, I shall find you? - Distrust. -? - Nice, I, alas, not capable already to prove its devotion good white master at critical minute his(its) fight for place in congress from neighborhood Plantagenet. I could love you love Kazanovy in skirt, - me even pleasantly to draw itself, as I safe you and as these hands of the blond god compress me in embrace, - but my sinful daydreams end in that place, where your similar think;contemplate about sister Konkord. Our last kiss already took place. Ah, Niyl, nice my admirer in двухпроцентном solution, what splendid New Negro came out of you if b you were not well-mannered, as god-fearing white gentleman from high-class suburb! But this so, and therefore - adieu forever, weeks on two, anyway. - A Rubbish! - Forgive, mister Kingsblad? - All this is because we both were honest - although and not very delicate - to News, and this erected between you and me wall. Now I for ever remain beside you on shame. - No, only in my notebook. Well, Niyl, expensive, before свиданья... Damn it, really I someday even so влюблюсь in you, wretch йорктаунский фельдфебель? The Friendship with Sofas and with Ashem has taught his(its) critically pertain to judgements white about negro, but such judgements happened to now to listen to much since amongst populations Grande-Ripablik all grew the hostility to colour factory workers, which during war tolerated as american patriot. Stood farewell golden-purple days of the October before coming the long north winter. In былые timeses Niyl has denoted this magic time to hunt and golf, but now he used the last leisure without snow and льда to be with a hop carried on court of the Tennis club Silivan-parka with News, среброрукой and quick. The Club had not persisting buildings, only light pavilion, look like rural school, where were kept balls and rackets and were a lockers for bottles. That day was a packed joy to lifes - a white shorts and flannel trousers player, ringing the rackets, merry roll-call of the count, sun, air, motion, autumn sheet. The Finished play, sat on folding chair beside court and saws to cocktails: veterans Eliot Hansen and Dzhat Brauler, their wife: Kertis Havok, Robert, brother Niyla, with its Elis, Rita Kamber, wife of the freakish doctor, and lieutenant colonel That Krenuey, recently returned to its printing houses, and his(its) wife Vayolet, which took the hot participation in miscellaneous reform and good deal, but by leaps and bounds froze them. All are a good friends and neighbours, thought Niyl, ed and grateful; as generous they agreed that he, invalid, spoiled him play. Where will else find such добрососедские a relations, as here, on MIDWESTS? Here do not know neither obsequiousnesses to именитым, nor fight for championship between wife врачей, attorney and merchant - whole that that disturbs liberally to breathe in Europe, in Great britain and crown colonies, including New England. His(its) surround dedicated friend and standard-bearer to democracies. Someone have mentionned of mark in present-day newspaper: yesterday in "Bugi-Vugi" someone пырнули knife; have spoken of that that negro population Grande-Ripablik all increase. The Lieutenant colonel Krenuey has wanted to define the place a negro in modern civilization, and all with hunt were caused help him. Kertis Havok has found out whole подноготную about ниггеров from товарищей on marine, южан, but lieutenant colonel Krenuey, when was in scholastic camp in Missisipi, ate beside local planter and has there heard such secrets, what usually северянам do not entrust. The Majority been present has taken information Krenueya - Havoka unconditionally, only Rita Kamber and Niyl Kingsblad kept silent yes Vayolet Krenuey from coquetry заспорила on some items. Vayolet often spoke, бестрепетно глядя in eye elderly gentleman, guilty in philanthropies or the other sin that nature created her(its) liberal and knowledge-based and here uzh simply nothing will not do. She consisted in all existing committee, was pro and contra all existing doctrines though stood out not as much its activity as skill to demonstrate graceful бюстик and eye with поволокой. Vayolet also not преминула notice that "much has well studied the negro in practice, on the personal observations", - meant that beside it once upon a time was a black man cook. So was worked out American Credo about Negro, which we here provide in the main positions: Nobody has the right not to judge or even talk about negro, except scolded южан or north, having in the south winter datcha. But any southerner, whether professor from CHaplhilla or pious widow from Blek-jack-холлоу, is an authority on all questions of the negro psychology, biologies and histories. Herewith south negroes in notion "южане" are not included. In the childhood beside all южан (white), but became to be, and beside worker with textile factories, имелись the black man an нянюшки, which they and their father, all complitly colonels, loved simply memoryless. All negroes, as one, regardless of tone of the skin, lazy, but mellow, thieve, reprobate and prone to человекоубийству, but much love the детей, and all of these constantly sing the merry canto about slave share. These canto are identified спиричуэлс, they very tuneful, but funny. All negroes supply such respect to богоподобному of the white person that not a single negro not to should like to to his(its) takeаased white, and all negroes (read: ниггеры) dream to their have not identified and considered white. This is identified the Logic, излюбленный subject in south college (for white). Any white southerner when meeting with any negro, at least судьей or congressman, will certainly say: "А, Jim, here is you dollar, blackenning образина, yes mortar to me on kitchen, there you will feed досыта". Verily main care for all white южан is a prosperity negro, but since and negroes themselves strive additionally, that we with pleasure can note that south negroes in the sense of high payment of the labour, housing terms, as well as all-round and deep formation form the most privileged public group in histories mankind. This is identified New Industrializm on Solar South. The Negroes not people, but intermediate type between ape and colonel. Proof that serves the необыкновенная thickness of their skull, due to which, what have shown the experiences, made in Luizianskom university, possible throw him on head coconuts, blacksmith's hammers and very greater stone, and they nothing will not feel, except light titillation. This is identified the Science. (But all this is finally reduced to question: agreed you that your daughter left married on negro?) All negroes, including biophysicists and rectors of the colleges unless knock about in kitchen beside white, that spends time in drunkenness, craps, religious vigils and drug trafficking. The Persons, confirming, woke;waked negroes on its psychological and social characteristic, as well as abilities to labour nothing does not differ from white, refer to as "troublemaker", but their glances - "бреднями недоумков", and all pretty of the women(woman) are obliged to rein their word: "Here is was here my husband, he you have whipped the lash that you inspire swarthy any foolishnesses". This is defined as Loyalty, or Heritage Our Valorous Limit and is particularly praised голливудскими Dzheksonami and, financing patriotic films about heroism южан in Civil war. Even though that eccentrics, who from нечего to do criticize the attitude white to negro, cue in than and rule;govern, output they offer can not, but beside me rule: never listen the critic, putting Problem as a whole and not indicating her(its) Practical Permit. "Much sensibly, - a dialect I in such events, - but я-то, in your opinion that must do?" All negroes constantly затевают the fights and a little that - put in deal knives, but all black man soldiers avoid the fights and are afraid all type of the plain weapon. This pertains to area of the knowledge, named Byt and Customs. Since all negroes lazy, nobody of them not to earn more eleven dollars at week, but since all of these profligate then from this amounts each spends eighty dollars at week on silk chemises, radioes and dues in Funeral Society Big-Shout-Hallelujah. (Here nor under than prejudice; simply each wave to choose itself familiar, and allow you to assign one question: agreed you, чтоб your daughter, sister or aunt left married for colour? Honestly dialect, agreed?) All negroes resettled in Chicago, is constantly frozen there, particularly july days in rolling shop, and without the end pine for flicker;glimmer, on flowering pat, magnolia, oatmeal, leguminous гороху, pork, watermelon, маисовым small cake, banjo, south prison and south congressman, and, cost(stand)s him to see the заезжего of the white southerner, they immediately dash to him and bitterly bemoan on that have abandoned the South and their own богоданных, natural, south aryan protectors. All men-negroes possess such temperament that nor one blanching woman can not stand firm before their бесовскими goblet, and all men-negroes - such rough monster that nor one blanching woman can not feel inclination to him. This is identified the Biology. All negroes, which nestle on marsh, wholly complacent its life, and from showers are dared on claim negro - an врачей, attorney and other so named "intellectualses". (No, but that you have said if to you have suddenly ed sound ниггер and has declared: "But I was spoilt with your дочкой"? But after all that and ends, wake certain if only swarthy will become to earn as much as as we with you.) After all melange of the races never gives the good result. These information we are obliged англичанам, in the same way either as the first imported to us significant party slave. For instance, in mulatto no already neither nobility and creative fantasy white, nor patiences and merry disposition black. So if many mulattoes show the gifts and high moral quality, that this therefore that in them much white shelters, but if many black-пречерные negroes show such gifts and moral quality, that this нипочему, since this simply untruth. This is identified the Ethnology, Eugenics or Uinston CHerchilli. The Negro newspapers of packed any figments about гонениях, which ostensibly subject to the negro, but their possible was from this break of, showing editor quietly end of the rope. This is identified Good Education. All negroes, including Walter Uayt, Richard Rayt and бригадный general Bendzhamen Devis, carry very funny name, as, for instance, "Network Soubelli", "Kleopatra Gatch" or "Otchenash Pipskvik" that proves that all negroes - an absurd eccentrics; but should like that you that your daughter ed mrs Otchenash Pipskvik? This is identified the Genealogy. If writer expresses the negro, which speaks and acts, as normal american, signifies, this writer or unapprised snowbird, or traitor, замысливший to delete the civilization. In talk about formation for negro, wanting flash the depth and originality glance, follows to begin with statements: "Previously than learn to fly, will let learn to go", - but then, when has already surfaced the subject to heredity, take the глубокомысленный type and explain: "River can not rise above their own headwaters". This is a Rhetorical Acceptance, named by Proof from Metaphore; particularly popular beside womans and priest. All negroes nothing will not die, than and is explained that they were able be beautifully organized to at day of the sum paid to force back white from окошка pay-desks, but white womans to doom on heavy and frightenning fate of the homemakers without servant, and this have even agitated envy of the german GENERAL STAFF. For long time of all negro woman with morning before night yelled on white дам: "Weathers, to cristmas _ты beside menya_ cook will!" I this exactly knows since heard from my aunt Annabel, the most honored women(woman). The Separate events to discriminations negro, can be, and exist in retarded region of the South somewhere, but on North of no discriminations no. Inherently, possible declare wholly authoritative that _негритянская problem nerazreshima_. Not litter, told I you anecdote about that, as one negro preacher honored its fold... When with wording American Credo have finished, Dzhad Brauler has noticed the unsure tone: - Probably, something be here exaggerated. But News Kingsblad, проведшая their own student years in Virginii, has declared: - No, no, the total picture absolutely correct. The Brother Robert, прапраправнук Ksavie Pica, размечтался: - I have published such law to consider the criminal any, who, having although drop negro shelters, passes himself off as white. If b such person fraudulently ухитрился to marry my дочке, I his(its) has asphyxiated here is these hand. However, hands, which herewith shocked Robert, were are more adapted for подписывания business correspondence, than for suffocation criminal. Niyl has silently ed on it, has afterwards ed on all their own соседей, good, nice, generous and formed. Here Vayolet Krenuey, enraptured own глубокомыслием, запищала: - All you do not take into account the main. The Negroes not at all such bad. Get even интеллигентные negroes, which nothing not worse us that is to say nearly nothing. But their error in that that they too hurry, instead of that to on natural move event and понемножку to progress single-handedly so that someday, in due course, we, white, were to acknowledge their achievements. I always dialect its colour familiar: "Yes, yes, I know that there is talents amongst people of your race, not getting due confession. I and itself бунтарь on nature and consider that you, negroes, must try to wrest beside lifes all that possible. But allow to remind you one circumstance, which you, is seen, have not noticed. Right before окончилась the war. In Europe not yet all утряслось, and here, in USA, too without the end that worker disturbances, that one, that another, and although I whole soul for equality colour and even for public equality someday in the future, but really you do not understand that _сейчас for this not vremya_! And Niyl has understood without anyone's explanations that in current whole of said this was the most bad and the most foolish. 32 The Gold поблекло, on street was a dirt, scanned days remained before November, and here somehow Niyl arranged to lunch with Rendi Spryusom, secretary of the CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, Lyucianom Fayrlokom, journalist, which has arrived from Georgia and managed now division of the advertisment beside Uorgeyta, and Uilburom Federingom, which has too made the transmigration with South on North, but fast roadstead on sample of the general Morgan. Uilbur was a last sensation in business circles of the city; forty five years, small, чистенький and the whole stuffed an двадцатидолларовыми бумажками. He was born in Missisipi, in family of the ravaged grocer, but he more liked, when his(its) considered the descendant a planter. Rendi in one table speech in Buster-club has said: "Let Uilbur неотъемлем from South, as mexican тамале, but he close North, as snow is bored, and flow around, as авиабомба". Beside mister Federinga, aside from truncation of its capital, was else special mission: reveal the eye an inhabitant Grande - Ripablik on threat of the race revolt, inevitable, as he confirmed, in city, where for six years of his(its) stay negro colony increased with восьмисот of the person before two thousand that formed nearly 2 1/4% whole town population, but on calculus Uilbura, - 98 1/4%. Niyl was met with them in "Summerhouse" - wrought maple panel cocktail-hall calve "Paynlend", whence whole company, having skipped on стаканчику, has alterred by sawing to lunch in "Fiezole". The Presence colour waiter has directed them on talk about Negro Problem. - Your error, boys, - has said Uilbur Federing, - in that that you see on their own swarthy as on reserve labour, which possible use for failure strike and fights with the trade union. So it was earlier, but now some from these треклятых trade union вздумали take and negro, as it is woke;waked they too people. - He, probably, rights, - has said Rendi. They have heard, as their friend Glen Tartan, control "Paynlenda", has asked beside waiter: "But where mister Grinsho?" Uilbur взвыл: - Here is, is not pleased? _Мистер_ Grinsho! The Swarthy varnish! No, you, северяне, notions have not about that, what address with black gorilla. Lyucian Fayrlok has objected: - I and dialect negro "mister" itself often - on miscellaneous meeting. - Throw, Fayrlok, you simply love порисоваться, - has said Federing. - I here is nor reek in lifes has not said "mister", or "mrs", or "miss", обращаясь to colour, will give the god, and henceforward not shall. Here after all there is its, so to speak, философия. Once you although one of these live-stock has named "mister", signifies, you have acknowledged that they not worse you, and the whole your parsley with Superiority of the White Race was ruined! Lyucian Fayrlok, no time hope university circle to Georgia, заспорил: - Really about negro always it is necessary to talk with hate? - But I completely their not ненавижу, swarthy. They amuse even me, honored word. This such rascals, such cunning обезьяны, and all so well dance, but will meet the white person, like me, which knows him price, so only roar with laughter and themselves ready to acknowledge that in servitude him was where повадней. But you, I see, from that New South Liberal, which yells: that ниггера wholly possible invite to itself in house to eat! Lyucian has said the serious tone: - No, I supporter to segregations. This prevents the unpleasant collisions. But I also consider that our debt - watch that negroes had herewith all that have we themselves. Here is, for instance, there is here one chemist negro, doctor Ash Devis; I shall not go to him in house and do not want that he went to me, but I consider that him must be created the most best terms to lifes since he that cost(stand)s. Federing angrily запыхтел: - Heard I about this type, and spit me on that, what there beside it term of the lifes! That he beside you serve, - squalling ugliness and unfairness if you want to know: some white young scientist toilled, nights недосыпал in hope to get afterwards good place, - but here, turns out to be, on this place already уселся the trick and fraudulently some dirty, thick negro! Yes really you may peacefully look at this? But take although this swarthy maitre dhotel! No that to conservatively notice Glenu: "Please, master, do not call me "mister", but that me awkwardly before white gentlemen!" As, дожидайся! This you, yankee... And here he has inserted, has still inserted the classical phrase южан: "I, know, before twelve years all thought that yankee oaf - one word". - You, yankee, разбаловали him(it), and now with him not to arrange until caress his(its) turn black skin by good whip. The Flash Niyla has prevented the exclamation Lyuciana: - Oh, do not speak you, as south senator! - А than you have not pleased the south senators? Can, they, certainly, folk and uncouth, but uzh in this question always speak the deal! Yes! I here is heard that beside дочки of our maitre dhotel husband dentist! Can you itself to represent - ниггер their own black finger digs beside people in рту! Yes his(its) it is necessary to drive in three town necks. Exactly drive, and someday we this will concern with. Here is see, boys, you will else say thank you that нашелся the person, who has suggested you to take the cue-what measures while negroes not затеяли disturbances! Niyl choked. "Be accursed all white, all before one! When I cabal finally? When I откроюсь?" But дядюшка Bodeshes-Federing continued: - Was time, and we beside itself in the south kept in restaurant colour varnish, yes not such here is, but polite, which each white spoke "sir" even though this was a night watchman, - and that happened to their повыгонять and change the white waitress since these coal miners decomposed, listenning, as educated negroes for table interpret about "race persecutions", - all rubbish and cock-and-bull stories, understandable. Pereveshal I all that amateurs to plunge not in its deal, which incite the ниггеров to enter in colleges, - and confess, Fayrlok that at heart showers you agree with me. - No, not agree. - So after all I and itself - a person tenderhearted. Love the dogs, for instance. But if my dog вываляется in manure, but afterwards полезет for my table... The Further Niyl did not hear. He has got up and came out of room. He sat in cocktail-hall, amongst do-it-yourself furniture maple tree, under chandelier, look like wheel, увешанное glass icicle. He slowly pulled from glass чистую water, but in ушах beside he rang and knocked on officious ceaseless rhythm: "I must say, I must say". When afterwards he carefully stole through вестибюль, he has seen beside small offices desk clerck graceful, beautiful dark-brown negro, clad in gray suit. Niyl has solved that this physician or teacher, dared along with its meek wife to make the car walk on native краю. The Desk clerck yelled on the whole вестибюль: - Mister Tartan, leave, please, here on minute! The Year back Niyl, of course, did not stop, nothing have not seen and has not heard. But presently he has clear heard, as Glen Tartan spoke the stranger: - Well yes, dock, I know, such law in Minnesota exists - much, apropos, wrong and unjust law, should like that I watch that запели our lawmakers if their have forced to start to itself in house of the people, which they do not like. But law by law, but I ask you to understand - you, is seen, person неглупый, - that decent public discontented, when your brother insinuates here. So you us will much oblige if поищете other hotel. The Husband and wife were silently turned and will go to output. Beside most doors Niyl has stopped them: - Poezzhayte in "Blekston"; this in Fayv Poynts, at the corner Astor and Omaha-avenue, there as it is woke;waked purely and comfortable. The Negro has answered: - Can be, this indelicate, but I should like to say that people of my race did not get accustomed to such courtesies on the part of white person. - I not white. I too colour, thank god. So and has said. 33 epted to put on in sunday; full-grown families, worrisome skinny or cosily дебелые, with talk about that that writes from army son; the boys in too close-fitting shoe, washed before unholy sunday purity, and девочки, щеголяющие grandeur s tickling was, when he поцелует, - and canto loved to sing. He carried the mail, and in wood one time worked, and was a coachman on the first stagecoach; although on-english he spoke well, this I litter, but on horses always plow on-frenchьем, - a grandmother ZHyuli clucked, as hen, снесшая egg: - Your дедушка Saksinar - here is this block that smokes us in nose, - was born in Viskonsine, worked the accountant on sawmill, afterwards served in Miluoki accountant and telegrapher CHikagskoy companieith the most good and sound детьми; she was rushed in kitchen, and in minute they have dread heard, as she окликнула Belfridu: - Hello, miss Nigger! In довершение miseries they have heard that Belfrida захохотал occasionly scientist, occasionly helpless tongue-tied: negroes - a tailor, waiters and grease monkeys, - which their conducted, did not buy the books by gross, as Oliver Bihaus or John Uiliyam Pratt to in строгом order to place them on oak regok at their own ногти. But he has forced itself to keep the hands on швам (so people and really in surprise kept an eye on on angry person with wooden gait) and so дошагал before lift. With refined negligence hypothetical of the Catherine Aragonskoy, probably, will turn out to be that that благочестивым became on old age of the years by gravedigger. He вздохнул. "I and did not expect that I shall manage to produce us in kings. Simply pthe Sofa Konkord and allow me to regale you all dinner in закусочной, which I have noticed here not far. Am afraid, this not quite politely, such later invitation, but if you agreed... Well as was not to encou lash, which sank;sunk the углем, their own spares kept in blue whacked teapot and жестянках from liver, but plates and cups bought in shop of the second-hand things, where for them was a most suitabling place. Niyl has recalled that his(its) mother and дедушка Edght before freed, but for time servitude their have accustomed to industry and submissiveness. But later, when came the liberty, colour becommed flabby and дегенерировали in mental attitude, to say nothing of th about шестипалого puppy, which us had at before last year, - has stung the Mayors Vulkeyp and has stretched Niylu hand, прощаясь. But Niyl purposely has not noticed her(its) hands. They confronted the house Vuon... - Beside white people this is identified "dab дегтя", - derisive has said Emerson. - a Hard deal, but? - To whom, as not you, know, lung it or hard, - огрызнулся Niyl. - John, Emerson, he, is woke;waked machine stolen. This policeman met Bayarda near college and knew that he negro though and with light skin. The Villain behaved so warmed that Bayard was forgotten and became to answer; then his(its) have withdный cottage, in "colonial" stiletto, with blue jalousie and white дощатыми panel, stood on northwest corner, and did not take a look at high beautiful get younger woman and four-year, the whole golden-turn pink девчурку, come down in this time with крыльца. But meantime exactly in this house of the veins captain Niyl Kingsbladnifies, this mistake. We not at all negroes, simply was two different Ksavie Pica. Not валяй fool, Kingsblad. At heart showers you fine know that he was your ancestor. А, be he проклят for his(its) turn black skinnot certain, follows in this confess, far from certain. Why subject to itself humiliations, about which we today spoke? Here and there on May-стрит for dark занавесками else loomed the light, in.
