AN INCIDENT FROM THE LIFE OF A RUSS

AN INCIDENT FROM THE LIFE OF A RUSSIAN REVOLUTIONARY
"Every worker must understand that the only way to a happy future is through struggle and the struggle is growing harder and harder. On the one hand..." A knock at the door interrupted Bauman. He stopped speaking and first looked at the people sitting round him, and then at the dentist, in whose waiting-room they were having their secret meeting. "Are you expecting any patients?" he asked. Everybody understood what Bauman's question meant. They didn't even speak to each other, they didn't have to be reminded what to do. One of them accompanied the dentist into the surgery, while the others sat down on the chairs standing along the wall and pretended to be patients waiting their turn. It didn't take them long. When everything was ready, the dentist's maid went to answer the knock and soon came back with an unexpected visitor, who tried to go straight into the surgery. "I say, it isn't your turn," a 'patient' sitting next to the door said to him. "I can't wait. I've got a terrible toothache," the man answered, hurriedly examining everybody's face. Bauman, who pretended that he was reading a news¬paper, didn't even turn his head to look at the strange visitor. He could, however, clearly see the man's face, and recognized him at once. He was a spy, the same man he had often seen before. "Has he brought the police with him?"... One thing was clear: it was necessary to keep the spy in the flat as long as possible, so that he would believe that they were real patients. Bauman looked up at the newcomer, and for a moment it seemed to him that there was Joy in the man's eyes. Then Bauman said as politely as he could. "We don't mind if the dentist sees him first, do we?" and then, turning to the spy, "Since you have a bad toothache, you can go next." The spy didn't know what to say. At that moment the surgery door opened and the dentist asked the next pa-tient in. Bauman, who went on watching the spy, imme¬diately said, "Anyone with bad teeth should certainly have them out." In a second the spy was sitting in the dentist's chair. The dentist told him to open his mouth wide, examined his teeth with great care, and began working quickly. A quarter of an hour later he showed the patient two large yellow teeth and said: "I did my best. To tell you the truth it was quite a serious operation. You should take better care of your teeth. Ten roubles, please." For a minute the spy stood there, not knowing what to do. "Would you like me to do anything else for you?" the dentist asked, smiling. The spy answered nothing, paid the money, and hurried out into the waiting-room. He expected to find no one there, but to his great surprise everybody was in his place. The spy could do nothing but leave the dentist's flat. When the spy had left, someone said, "It's a good thing he had bad teeth." "But he didn't ... He just has two good teeth less now than he did when he came," the dentist explained, and added, "and it didn't cost him much. So he should be grateful." Everybody laughed, and Bauman said, "That was a good idea. Didn't I say that they would break their teeth if they fought against us? I wonder whether he will be able to go and report to the police after that. I don't think they'll

Инцидента ИЗ ЖИЗНИ русского революционера
"Каждый работник должен понимать , что единственный путь к счастливому будущему через борьбу и борьба растет все труднее и труднее. С одной стороны ..." Стук в дверь прервал Баумана. Он замолчал и посмотрел сначала на людей , сидящих вокруг него, а затем у стоматолога, в чьем зале ожидания у них были свои тайные встречи. "Ожидаете ли вы каких - либо пациентов?" он спросил. Все понимали , что имел в виду вопрос Баумана. Они даже не разговаривали друг с другом, у них не было напоминать , что делать. Один из них сопровождал стоматолога в хирургии, в то время как другие сели на стулья стояли вдоль стены , и сделал вид, что пациентов , ожидающих своей очереди. Это не займет у них много времени. Когда все было готово, горничная стоматолога пошел , чтобы ответить на стук , и вскоре вернулся с неожиданным посетителем, который попытался пройти прямо в хирургии. "Я говорю, что это не ваша очередь," а "пациент" сидит рядом с дверью сказал ему. "Я не могу ждать. У меня ужасный зубной боли," ответил мужчина, поспешно рассматривая лицо каждого. Баумана, который делал вид , что он читал news¬paper, даже не повернул голову , чтобы посмотреть на странного посетителя. Он мог, однако, ясно видеть лицо человека, и узнал его сразу. Он был шпионом, тот же самый человек , которого он часто видел раньше. "? Есть ли у него привел полицию с ним" ... Одно было ясно: надо было держать шпиона в квартире как можно дольше, чтобы он поверил бы , что они были реальными пациентами. Баумана посмотрел на вошедшего, и на мгновение ему показалось , что есть радость в глазах мужчины. Затем Бауман сказал , так вежливо , как только мог. "Мы не против , если стоматолог видит его во- первых, не так ли?" а затем, обращаясь к шпиону, "Так как у вас плохой зубной боли, вы можете идти дальше." Шпион не знал , что сказать. В этот момент дверь открылась , и операция стоматолог задал следующий Pa-tient в. Баумана, который продолжал наблюдать за шпиона, imme¬diately сказал: "Любой человек с плохими зубами , безусловно , должны иметь их." Во второй шпион сидел в кресле стоматолога. Стоматолог сказал ему , чтобы широко открыть рот, осмотрел его зубы с большой осторожностью, и начал работать быстро. Через четверть часа спустя он показал пациента две большие желтые зубы и сказал: ".. Я сделал все возможное , чтобы сказать вам правду это было довольно серьезная операция Вы должны лучше заботиться о ваших зубов Десять рублей, пожалуйста." . За минуту шпион стоял, не зная , что делать. "Вы хотите , чтобы я сделал что - нибудь еще для вас?" спросил стоматолога, улыбаясь. Шпион ничего не отвечал, заплатил деньги, и поспешно вышел в приемную. Он ожидал , что не найти там никого, но , к его большому удивлению всех , был на своем месте. Шпион ничего не мог сделать , но оставить квартиру стоматолога. Когда шпион ушел, кто - то сказал: "Это хорошо , что у него были плохие зубы." "Но он этого не сделал ... меньше, чем он сделал , когда он пришел, Он просто имеет две хорошие зубы" стоматолог объяснил, и добавил, что "и это не стоило ему много. Так что он должен быть благодарен." Все засмеялись, и сказал Бауман, "Это была хорошая идея. Разве я не говорил , что они ломают зубы , если они боролись против нас? Интересно , будет ли он быть в состоянии пойти и сообщить в полицию после этого. Я не 'т думаю , что они
