The general smiled warmly and approached the elevator.
When Garinov phoned the Krazimov’s’ apartment, it was 23 hours and 50 minutes. Anya opened to him.
– Good evening, Anna! – The General entered and kissed the woman on the cheek, – And where our friends! – He asked anxiously.
The kitchen- sitting, waiting for you.

Sobinov Krazimov met him standing in the hands of the general was a bag with gifts, which he put on the kitchen table and shook hands with them one by one.
– Tired of waiting, pigeons, me? – Pulling out of the plastic bag three bottles of French cognac «Napoleon,» he said. Then took the teddy bear and gave Ana:
– It’s godson, from his godfather’s dad! – Anya confused, took a bear, she said, blushing:
– Dima will be happy!
In my childhood, I had exactly the same! – Smiling with his kind smile, he said, Ana, and, turning to Leonid and Peter – Talk with us will be a long and informative, I fear that the whole night until the morning!
Well, Alexey, your prayers! – Nods to the cognac, spoke Sobinov. Leonid too hurried to insert the word:
– And what, after all, everything flows and changes in the world, other than a good drink!
– It’s you, is not it, noticed! – Garin said approvingly. Then the conversation intervened Anya:
– You still make me their boozer that Anna and I will be doing?

Yes, of course! – Said Leonid – It’s all there and the food and the wait staff.
– And most importantly, spring and air. Forest fresh and clean. Baby and we will splendid! – She said, clutching a bear to her chest, went to bed. Left alone in the kitchen, the general took the floor:
– I, in turn, invite you to his villa generals. Here at Moscow we have generals your town has. There, we will not disturb anybody and we’ll figure out what to do next. – Until General said Leonid took out of the fridge appetizer that consisted of red caviar, cutting the Moscow sausage, salted delicacies Anya and pulled out of the oven steaming in a roasted chicken grilled baked potato cooked in a special recipe of Elsa Eduardovna. The kitchen is immediately filled with fabulously delicious flavors of gourmet food. Garin was uncork and pour the brandy. This time on the table were of crystal stemware wedding gift Elsa Eduardovna, and good aging cognac sparkled in their patches of sunlight, absorbed once the vine and now generously bestowing his heat in the drink people.
