Admiral Page #2

---

Why are you telling me this?

Your neighbour is just

too beautiful.

Sasha is prone to infatuation.

But it doesn't normally last long.

Yes, and I wanted to ask,

There'll be a ball at the

Podorgskys tomorrow. Are you coming?

Kirill Fyodorovich,

come over here!

Attention, ladies and gentlemen.

Why on earth do you have

to entangle all these balls of yarn?

How did the Tsars

choose their brides?

The brides would untangle a yarn.

The Tsar watched through the keyhole.

If a girl fidgeted, or lost her temper,

that was it.

Out you go, lazybones!

Because the Tsar's wife

must have patience,

and self-restraint.

That's how my grandmother

prepared me to be a bride.

Interesting:

And why did your grandmother

call you a Shelkova cossack?

Because I am a Shelkova woman.

Our Cossacks married Turkish women.

I have Turkish blood too.

So, let's drink to the Turks!

With pleasure.

- Mama, is father an Admiral?

- A rear-Admiral.

Better if he'd stayed a captain.

I like him as a captain better.

Rear-Admiral is hard to say.

Better if you got some sleep.

Go to sleep, my dear.

Or you won't go swimming

again with father.

So what did you find out?

It turns out, these

Turkish ladies, from the harems

Would not give anyone anything!

A traveler comes along,

and asks for a glass of water.

What does the lady of the house reply?

"When Ivan comes, he will

give it to you, traveler."

Slander! Slander and calumny!

I for one would never

turn you down.

I fear, Anna Vasilievna, you

would have your hands full.

I'm very partial to drinking.

I understand you perfectly.

Generally speaking, it seems to me that

water and war are the only

loves in your life.

It seems to me you know

perfectly well -

that's not how it is.

Well:

It's getting late:

We had a nice walk,

and now it's time to go our separate ways.

Who knows, Anna Vasilievna -

whether we'll ever have such a

good time as we did today?

Thank you:
Dear

Alexander Vasilievich.

Go now:
Go.

This is the light signal of a sinking ship,

Anna Vasilievna.

Good night.

I was thinking that something had happened:

Sasha:

Is everything all right between us?

Not exactly.

Have you fallen in love?

Tell me if this is -

but...

Are you sure this is serious?

I don't know:

I have no intention of getting in your way,

Slavushka, Mother and

I will leave. For Petersburg.

Sonya, I:

You don't need to go anywhere.

Everything will be all right. I promise.

You are my wife and I am your husband.

That's the way it will always be.

How is Slavushka?

His temperature is nearly normal.

Shall I wait for you at lunch?

No, I'll be dining at the Assembly.

Alexander Vasilievich, congratulations
