Question No. 2

".. .For twenty years in a row I traveled Russia in all directions; almost all postal routes are known to me; several generations of coachmen are familiar to me; I don’t know a rare caretaker by sight, I haven’t dealt with a rare one; I hope for a curious stock of my travel observations to publish in a short time; for now I will only say that the class of stationmasters is presented to society in the most false form."

“I offered my father her glass of punch; I gave Dunya a cup of tea, and the three of us began to talk, as if we had known each other for centuries.” Dunya replied:

without any timidity, like a girl who has seen the light;
with adult intelligence, but with the timidity inherent in her age;
coquettishly lowering his big blue eyes.

Question No. 7

“Several years passed, and circumstances brought me to that very road, to those very places.” The traveler remembered the stationmaster and his daughter as he approached the station:

rejoicing that he will see Dunya again;
immersed in pleasant memories;
with a sad feeling.

Question No. 8

“It was definitely Samson Vyrin; but how he aged! ... I looked at his gray hair, at the deep wrinkles of his long-unshaven face, at his hunched back - and could not wonder how three or four years could turn a vigorous man into a frail old man ".
The stationmaster met the author:

joyful because I recognized him;
indifferently, although it was clear from everything that he recognized him;
at first indifferent, but the rum cleared up his sullenness, on the second

Question No. 9

“Ah, Dunya, Dunya! What a girl she was! It used to be that whoever passed by, everyone would praise her, no one would judge her. Ladies gave her as gifts... Gentlemen passing by stopped on purpose... just to look at her hem... “She kept the house going: she kept up with everything, what to clean, what to cook.” Everything changed when a young, stately hussar with a black mustache appeared at the station. Minsky was:

cornet;
captain;
lieutenant

to the nearest village;
to the church.

Question No. 12

“Having barely recovered from his illness, the caretaker asked S*** the postmaster for leave for two months and, without telling anyone a word about his intention, he set off on foot to fetch his daughter.” He found out where to look for her:

from coachmen;
by chance, from a passerby who saw Dunya.

Question No. 14

immediately;
at 11 o'clock, since before that time he was resting and did not receive anyone;
only the next day.

Question No. 15

“What has been done cannot be undone,” said the young man in extreme confusion, “I am guilty before you and am glad to ask you for forgiveness; but don’t think that I could leave Dunya: she will be happy, I give you my word of honor. Why do you need her? She loves me; she has lost the habit of her previous state. Neither you nor she will forget what happened.”

The hussar talked with the old man for a long time, convincing him that he was right and offering him money.
Minsky called his footman and ordered him to escort the guest, generously rewarded “for his efforts,” to the door.
Having handed something to the old man, Minsky opened the door, and the caretaker, without remembering how, found himself on the street.

Question No. 16

“He stood motionless for a long time, finally he saw a bundle of papers behind the cuff of his sleeve; he took them out and unfolded several five- and ten-ruble crumpled banknotes. Tears welled up in his eyes again, tears of indignation! He squeezed the papers into a ball, threw them on the ground, and stamped them with his heel and went..."

Having walked a few steps away, he stopped, thought... and turned back... but the banknotes were no longer there. A well-dressed young man, seeing him, ran up to the cab driver, sat down hastily and shouted: “Get off!..” The caretaker did not chase him.
His small figure hunched over more and more, but the caretaker never looked back.
Having walked a few steps away, he stopped, thought... and returned, picked up the banknotes, carefully smoothed them out and hid them in his pocket.

Answers to the test "The Station Agent"

Gray clouds covered the sky; a cold wind blew from the reaped fields, carrying red and yellow leaves from the trees they encountered. I arrived at sunset and stopped at the post office. In the entryway (where poor Dunya once kissed me) a fat woman came out and answered my questions that the old caretaker had died a year ago, that a brewer had settled in his house, and that she was the brewer’s wife. I felt sorry for my wasted trip and the seven rubles spent for nothing... “Hey, Vanka! You've had enough of messing around with the cat. Take the master to the cemetery and show him the caretaker’s grave.”
At these words, a ragged boy, red-haired and crooked, ran out to me and immediately led me outside the outskirts...
- Do passers-by remember him?
- Yes, but there are few travelers; Unless the assessor wraps it up, he has no time for the dead. A lady was passing by, and she asked about the old caretaker and went to his grave.
- Which lady? - I asked curiously.
“Beautiful lady,” answered the boy; - she rode in a carriage of six horses, with three little barchats and a nurse, and a black pug; and when they told her that the old caretaker had died, she began to cry and said to the children: “Sit still, and I’ll go to the cemetery.” And I volunteered to bring it to her. And the lady said: “I know the way myself.” And she gave me a silver nickel - such a kind lady!..
We came to the cemetery, a bare place, unfenced, dotted with wooden crosses, not shaded by a single tree. I have never seen such a sad cemetery in my life.
“Here is the grave of the old caretaker,” the boy told me, jumping onto a pile of sand into which was buried a black cross with a copper image.
- And the lady came here? - I asked.
“She came,” answered Vanka, “I looked at her from afar.” She lay down here and lay there for a long time. And there the lady went to the village and called the priest, gave him money and went, and gave me a nickel in silver - a nice lady!
And I gave the boy a penny and no longer regretted either the trip or the seven rubles I spent.

Fragment from the novel Dubrovsky

One evening, when several officers were sitting with him, lounging on sofas and smoking from his ambers, Grisha, his valet, handed him a letter, whose inscription and seal immediately struck the young man. He quickly opened it and read the following:
“You are our sovereign, Vladimir Andreevich, - I, your old nanny, decided to report to you about daddy’s health! He is very bad, sometimes he talks, and sits all day like a stupid child - but in the stomach and in death, God is free. Come to us, my bright falcon, we will send you horses to Pesochnoe. I hear that the zemstvo court is coming to us to hand us over to Kiril Petrovich Troekurov - because, they say, we are theirs, and we have been yours from time immemorial - and we have never heard of that. You could, living in St. Petersburg, report this to the Tsar-Father, and he would not give us offense. I remain your faithful slave, nanny
Orina Egorovna Buzyreva...»

Vladimir Dubrovsky re-read these rather stupid lines several times in a row with extraordinary excitement. He lost his mother from an early age and, hardly knowing his father, was brought to St. Petersburg in the eighth year of his age - for all that, he was romantically attached to him and loved family life the more, the less he had time to enjoy its quiet joys.
The thought of losing his father painfully tormented his heart, and the situation of the poor patient, which he guessed from his nanny’s letter, terrified him. He imagined his father, abandoned in a remote village, in the hands of a stupid old woman and servants, threatened by some kind of disaster and dying without help in physical and mental torment. Vladimir reproached himself for criminal negligence. For a long time he did not receive letters from his father and did not think to inquire about him, believing him to be traveling or doing household chores.
He decided to go to him and even resign if his father’s painful condition required his presence. His comrades, noticing his concern, left. Vladimir, left alone, wrote a request for leave - lit a pipe and plunged into deep thoughts.
That same day he began to bother about a vacation and three days later he was already on the high road.
Vladimir Andreevich was approaching the station from which he was supposed to turn onto Kistenevka. His heart was filled with sad forebodings, he was afraid of not finding his father alive, he imagined the sad way of life awaiting him in the village, wilderness, desolation, poverty and troubles with business in which he knew no sense. Arriving at the station, he went to the caretaker and asked for free horses. The caretaker inquired where he needed to go and announced that the horses sent from Kistenevka had been waiting for him for the fourth day...
