I guess there will be a rain.
Misha! Mishenka!
Dammit, Sergey Pavlovich!
Why didn't you tell me, my dear?
You've got married, and not saying it!
Well, how do you like me?
I did it fast and neat!
I fell in love and got married.
Congratulations!
I wish you all the best!
Now you'll know
the best side of life.
She wouldn't be pleased until you
marry. She's crazy about weddings.
It's not weddings, I just like
everything to be right.
I'm so pleased!
Thank you!
I'm happy, very happy!
What? What?
What? Oh, no, nothing.
- What is it?
- I just wanted some milk.
You know, in Syzran a blue-eyed
raven was caught by maiden Tereshchuk.
In Syzran!
But where's Sophie?
Sophie and Porfiry Semyonovich went
to the pond. They'll be back soon.
I'm not some Oriental sovereign
to hide my wife from you.
Salute to the enlightened Slavs!
Long live the relatives!
Hurray to the General's wife!
Ah, the lousy physician,
good to see you!
Hale and healthy, shining and ruddy,
reeking of wine from early morning!
Trying to be clever? Don't bother.
Who was it shooting? Kolka?
- At whom?
- At me.
- Did he miss?
- No, on the spot!
Oh, my dear!
Papa, you're already here!
Colonel Triletsky's lucky
constellation! How are you, my dear?
You're saluted from a Krupp cannon!
Oh God, it's too bad.
Sashenka, my darling!
I haven't beholden you for ages.
Sit down! Sit down, I said!
I order you!
Are you in good health, Sashenka?
Me, I have never been ill in my life.
Though my heart sometimes ached
on the account of the weaker sex,
but that ailment is delightful,
no need for pharmacopoeia.
Who put the broom here?
Was it Mitka? Stupid.
- How is my grandson?
- He's fine. He bows his regards.
He already knows how to bow?
- That should be taken figuratively.
- Yes, of course, figuratively!
Anna Petrovna, my dear!
You know, I... Leave me alone!
You know, I bought a new double-barrel.
We'll go and hunt snipes!
My divine Diana!
I adore such creatures.
That's what women's emancipation
is all about.
You kiss her shoulder,
and it smells of gun-powder.
Your Excellency!
Alexandra of Macedonia!
You've already had a shot
in the morning, Colonel?
Now I see why you're clucking so
boisterously.
I was here as early as 8 o'clock.
Everybody was still asleep
when I came here
and began stomping my feet.
Then she appeared, laughing.
We split a bottle of madeira.
Diana had 3 glasses, and I, the rest.
Is it necessary to tell about it?
And here I am! Hello!
Hello, sis!
What is it?
A hat? And this?
And who is that over there?
How are you, Your Excellency?
Well, how you doing, Michel?
It's a long story,
and not very interesting.
Excuse me...
Nikolai Ivanovich,
I don't like yourjokes!
Maman, tell him!
Nikolai Ivanovich,
I don't like...
- Is your Kolka all right?
- Yes, he's all right.
- Has he grown a big boy?
- A big boy.
- Very, very big?
- Very, very big.
Father!
Colonel!
Nowadays they give
only Greek names.
Don't sleep, Colonel!
Don't sleep, I said!
I'm awake.
Stop it, I beg you.
Papa, you mustn't sleep here.
I'm not sleeping, daughter.
Everything's all right, thank God...
A comic, a clown, an ataman.
He's all that.
Once he sewed up the pockets
of his tunic...
Then he filled his snuff-box
with salt...
Ladies and gentlemen, this is
my wife, Sophia Yegorovna!
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!
You've stolen my wife, haven't you?
Porfiry Semyonovich showed me around.
What a wonderful fresh air!
Yes, it's not Petersburg.
Pure ozone.
- How long have you been here?
- We came two days ago.
I'm delighted with our garden.
Marvelous garden!
Sophia Yegorovna promised that
Thursday you'd come to my place.
Yes, our whole bunch will come.
My garden's even better than yours,
the river's deep, the horses are fine.
Which way should we go?
Through Yasnovka?
- Through Platonovka.
- That'll be a detour.
Platonovka?
I used to know the owner.
Perhaps he's not Misha any
