About the book: 2008 / "It was already quite late when a line of cars stopped near the mansion immersed in darkness. An athletic young man stepped out of a silver Lexus. He gloomily looked around the surroundings and opened the door for a slender, tanned girl in an elegant cream suit. “We’ve finally arrived!” “She said relieved, although she didn’t look too exhausted. “Igor, take the bag and help bring things in.” The young man nodded silently and headed to the taxi, from which a young maid and an elderly, lean butler named Seraphim, who had long been practically a member of the family and whom they took with them everywhere, got out. Both stood respectfully near the porch. Meanwhile, the girl approached the manager - a plump, balding man who arrived in a Ford: - Tell me, did your aunt convey anything in words? - Oh yes, of course, Nina Valerievna! - the fat man began to fuss. “She asked me to tell you to feel at home.” The mansion is at your complete disposal,” he added, looking obsequiously at the girl.…»
