and beckoned.
His Excellency
liked to assume parliamentary postures,
and every now and then he dreamt about
monuments,
especially when his haemorrhoids
became acute.
Parasites!
Damn spongers!
Parasites!
Hello,
Pseldonimov,
do you recognize me?
Your
Excellency.
Exaclty.
I, brother, have got here completely by
accident, as you probably imagine yourself.
You will not banish me,
surely?
Whether you like it or not,
you have to receive the guest.
Have I interrupted something?
I can leave.
Your Excellency,
for goodness' sake,
it's an honour.
Have a seat, please.
Akim Petrovich Zubikov
served as a head of department
in the office of His Excellency.
It was a man meek as a chicken,
a man of the old school,
raised on the idea of servility.
To Pseldonimov's wedding
he was invited as a guest of distinction.
Please.
There's no need, for goodness' sake.
I'd better stand.
Do have a seat.
You needn't worry.
I will sit here.
Can you imagine?
I have just been to
Stepan Nikiforovich Nikiforov's.
You may have heard of him.
He is a privy councillor in the committee.
He is your neighbour now.
Anyway, I am walking,
and the night is so beautiful
and quiet.
And suddenly I hear
music
playing
and stomping of feet.
Dancing!
I inquire of a policeman.
It's Pseldonimov's wedding.
You, brother Pseldonimov,
give balls on a truly large scale.
What now? Is he a fool or something?
All I need here is a smile, and
everything would go like a dream.
So I think to myself, "Why don't
I pay a visit to my subordinate?"
He will not banish me, after all.
Whether you like it or not,
you have to receive the guest.
Porfiri Petrovich, introduce me
to your young wife,
to your bride-to-be, as it were.
Come on, brother.
Very, very pleased to meet you.
Especially on such an occasion.
The bride has wanted
to get married for a long time.
She has never had any girlfriends,
as well as brains.
Although she once attended
some German school,
she didn't learn almost
anything except the basics.
She especially enjoyed pinching.
Pseldonimov!
She is very pretty.
Quite a couple!
Although,
she could at least get embarrassed.
Then I would be able to tell a joke.
Instead, I have come up
against a brick wall.
Gentlemen!
Have I, by accident, interrupted
your entertainment?
We will start in a moment. And for now...
we're just having a rest.
Don't be hard on us, Your Excellency.
As you haven't shuned us
and did us the honour of
attending our son's wedding,
then, please, be so kind as
to congratulate the newlyweds.
Don't shun us, do us the honour.
So you are...
your son's parent?
She is indeed,
Your Excellency.
