Pulemetchik

Kak govoril Anton Pavlovich CHechov, «esli v nachale p′esy na stene visit ruzh′e, to k koncu ono dolzhno vystrelit′». Ruzh′ya, razveshannye inzhenerom Skamovym za pervye pyat′ let, uzhe strelyayut, dom postroen, Mityaj usynovlen, derevo po- sadit′ nedolgo… ZHivi da rabotaj — choroshaya zhizn′! I vse by chorosho, da chto-to nechorosho — vperedi Russko-yaponskaya vojna i pervaya revolyuciya. Tak chto prishla pora razveshivat′ pulemety.
