Fyodor Kuzmin Sologub 1863-1927

Petty Imp - Novel (1902)

Ardalyon Borisovich Peredonov, a teacher of literature at the local gymnasium, constantly felt himself the subject of special attention from women. Still would! A state councilor (fifth grade in the ranking table!), a man in the juice, in fact, not married ... After all, Barbara is ... Barbara, in which case, you can get a side. There's only one thing - without her, perhaps, you won't get an inspector's job. (The director of the gymnasium does not favor him, the students and their parents consider him rude and unfair.) Princess Volchanskaya promised Varvara to plead for Ardalyon Borisovich, but she made the wedding a condition: it is inconvenient to plead for the roommate of her former home dressmaker. However, first the place, and then the wedding. And then just deceived.

Varvara was extremely worried about these moods of his, and she begged the widow Grushina to prepare a letter for money, supposedly from the princess, with a promise of a place if they got married.

Peredonov was overjoyed, but Vershina, who tried to pass off the dowry Marta as him, immediately rebuked him: where is the envelope? Business letter - and without an envelope! Varvara and Grushina immediately corrected the matter with a second letter sent through Petersburg acquaintances. Both Vershina and Routilov, who was wooing his sisters to Peredonov, and Prepolovenskaya, who was counting on getting a niece for him, all understood that their case was lost, Ardalyon Borisovich appointed the wedding day. Already suspicious, he was now even more afraid of envy and kept waiting for a denunciation or even an attempt on his life. Prepolovenskaya added fuel to the fire, alluding to the fact that Pavel Vasilyevich Volodin, a close friend of Ardalyon Borisovich, was visiting Peredonov for Varvara Dmitrievna's sake. This, of course, is nonsense. Varvara considers Volodin a fool, and besides, the teacher of trade in the city school receives four times less than the teacher of the gymnasium Peredonov. Ardalyon Borisovich became worried: he would marry Varvara, they would go to the inspector's place, and on the way they would poison him and bury him like Volodin, and he would be an inspector. Barbara does not let go of the knife, and the fork is dangerous. (And he hid the utensils under the bed. The Chinese eat with chopsticks.) And here is the ram, so similar to Volodin, staring blankly, probably intriguing. The main thing, they will inform - and died. After all, Natasha, Peredonov's former cook, went directly from them to the gendarme. Having met the gendarme lieutenant colonel, Ardalyon Borisovich asked not to believe what Natasha would say about him, she was lying, and her lover was a Pole.

The meeting suggested the idea of ​​visiting the city fathers and assuring them of their trustworthiness. He visited the mayor, the prosecutor, the marshal of the nobility, the chairman of the county zemstvo council, and even the police chief. And he told everyone that everything they talk about him is nonsense. Wanting to somehow smoke on the street, he suddenly saw a policeman and inquired if it was possible to smoke here. So that the almost accomplished inspector would not be replaced by Volodin, he decided to mark himself. On the chest, on the stomach, on the elbows, he put the letter P in ink.

The cat also became suspicious. Strong electricity in wool is the trouble. And he took the beast to the hairdresser - to cut his hair.

Already many times a gray nedotykomka appeared to him, rolled around at his feet, mocked him, teased him: he would lean out and hide. And even worse - cards. The ladies, two at a time, winked; aces, kings, jacks whispered, whispered, teased.

After the wedding, the director and his wife visited the Peredonovs for the first time, but it was noticeable that they moved in different circles of local society. And in the gymnasium, not everything is going smoothly with Peredonov. He visited the parents of his students and complained about their laziness and insolence. In several cases, the children were sekoma for these fictitious guilt and complained to the director.

The story with the fifth grader Sasha Pylnikov turned out to be quite wild. Grushina told me that this boy was really a girl in disguise: he was so cute and blushed all the time, he was quiet and the schoolboys teased him as a girl. And all this to catch Ardalyon Borisovich.

Peredonov reported to the director about a possible scandal: depravity would begin in the gymnasium. The director considered that Peredonov was going too far. Nevertheless, the cautious Nikolai Vlasevich, in the presence of the gymnasium doctor, was convinced that Sasha was not a girl, but the rumor did not subside, and one of the Rutilov sisters, Lyudmila, looked into Kokovkina's house, where the aunt rented a room for Sasha.

Lyudmila and Sasha became friends with a tender but restless friendship. Lyudmila awakened in him premature, still vague aspirations. She came dressed up, perfumed, sprinkled perfume on her Daphnis.

Innocent excitement for Lyudmila was the main charm of their meetings, she said to the sisters: "I don't love him at all as you think ... I innocently love him. I don't need anything from him." She shook Sasha, put her on her knees, kissed and allowed her wrists, shoulders, legs to be kissed. Once she half-begged, half-forced him to strip to the waist. And she said to him: “I love beauty ... I would like to be born in ancient Athens ... I love the body, strong, dexterous, naked ... My dear idol, godlike youth ... "

She began to dress him in her outfits, and sometimes in the chiton of an Athenian or a fisherman. Her gentle kisses aroused the desire to do something sweet or sick, tender or shameful, so that she laughed with joy or screamed with pain.

Meanwhile, Peredonov was already repeating to everyone about Pylnikov's depravity. The townspeople looked at the boy and Lyudmila with filthy curiosity. The future inspector himself behaved more and more strangely. He burned the cards winking and grimacing in his face, wrote denunciations about card figures, about the underdog, about the ram who pretended to be Volodin. But the most terrible was what happened at the masquerade. The eternal pranksters and inventors of the Rutilov sisters dressed Sasha as a geisha and did it so skillfully that he got the first ladies' prize (no one recognized the boy). The crowd, excited by envy and alcohol, demanded to remove the mask, and in response to the refusal, they tried to grab the geisha, but the actor Bengalsky saved her, carrying her out of the crowd in his arms. While the geisha was being persecuted, Peredonov decided to set fire to the underdog that had come from nowhere. He brought the match to the curtain. The fire was already noticed from the street, so the house burned down, but people escaped. Subsequent events assured everyone that the talk about Sasha and the Rutilov girls was nonsense.

Peredonov began to realize that he had been deceived. One evening Volodin came in and sat down at the table. They drank more than they ate. The guest bleated, fooled around: "They fooled you, Ardasha." Peredonov drew his knife and slashed Volodin across the throat.

When they entered to take the killer, he sat dejectedly and muttered something meaningless.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

It's time to boil the laundry 03.09.2005

It is customary in Swiss hospitals to disinfect hospital sheets and clothing with hot water at 80 degrees Celsius for one minute or 66 degrees Celsius for half an hour.

Swiss experts in household appliances from the Federal Technical Testing Laboratory drew attention to the fact that modern washing powders make it possible to wash clothes well at low water temperatures - only plus 40 and even 30 degrees Celsius. This saves energy, but does not allow the laundry to be disinfected.

According to French data, in 43% of cases, the housewife sets the temperature on the washing machine to 30 degrees Celsius. Experiments conducted in the laboratory have shown that after such washing, many microorganisms remain alive. They can also remain on the walls of the washing drum.

Therefore, Swiss engineers recommend running an "empty" wash on the machine from time to time with a water temperature of 90 degrees Celsius. This is not very important if you do laundry at home, since germs usually have time to spread between members of the same family without the participation of laundry. But, if you do laundry in a self-service laundry, first, without pawning your laundry, set the temperature to 95 degrees Celsius for a few minutes.

Based on these recommendations, some German manufacturers of washing machines began to supply their models with the H key (from the word Hygiene - hygiene), when pressed, the machine is filled with water, and this water is brought almost to a boil.
