About this listen

«Ona dumala s dosadoj: ee rovesnicy, - a ej shel dvadcat' shestoj god, teper' hlopochut po hozjajstvu, utomilis' i krepko usnut, a zavtra utrom prosnutsja v prazdnichnom nastroenii; mnogie iz nih davno uzhe povyhodili zamuzh i imejut detej. Tol'ko ona odna pochemu-to objazana, kak staruha, sidet' za jetimi pis'mami, delat' na nih pometki, pisat' otvety, potom ves' vecher do polunochi nichego ne delat' i zhdat', kogda zahochetsja spat', a zavtra ves' den' budut ee pozdravljat' i prosit' u nej, a poslezavtra na zavode nepremenno sluchitsja kakoj-nibud' skandal, - pob'jut kogo, ili kto-nibud' umret ot vodki, i ee pochemu-to budet muchit' sovest'; a posle prazdnikov Nazarych uvolit za progul chelovek dvadcat', i vse jeti dvadcat' budut bez shapok zhat'sja okolo ee kryl'ca, i ej budet sovestno vyjti k nim, i ih progonjat, kak sobak. I vse znakomye budut govorit' za glaza i pisat' ej v anonimnyh pis'mah, chto ona millionersha, jeksploatatorsha, chto ona zaedaet chuzhoj vek i soset u rabochih krov'.»
