(186 words) For the fourth time, the family moved from Basmannaya to Nikitskaya. This did not please the undertaker Adrian. You need to get used to a new place, to new people. Soon they got used to it, even made friends with their neighbors.
The house sells coffins, mourning hats. A shoemaker met Adrian, his neighbor Gottlieb Schulz. He said that he was celebrating a wedding tomorrow. In honor of this event, he invited the undertaker and his daughters to dine. The celebration was in full swing. One toast was for the health of those for whom the guests work. Everyone laughed at the undertaker. After all, he will have to drink for the health of the dead. Adrian was offended and returned home upset.
Adrian was informed that Merchant Tryukhin died that night. The deceased was lying on the table yellow. Undertaker did his job. When he saw a crowd of the dead in his house, he was horrified. He himself called after the feast "the Orthodox dead". Of the dead was Peter Kurilkin. To him, Adrian in 1799 sold the first pine coffin for oak. The dead man wanted to hug the undertaker, but he pushed him away. The dead man crumbled. In the company of the departed, indignation began, they scolded the owner of the house for lack of hospitality. He fell on Peter's bones and lost his senses.
The owner woke up. Aksinya said there were no funerals. Father fell asleep in the hop at home.
