Brick and music

Eustigney is a towed, disheveled, dirty person who rarely combes his hair, more on Sundays. He rolls ore on trolleys and lives in the barracks. Tatars living with him in the same barracks prevent him from cooking pork. On Sundays, Eustigney gets drunk and fights.

On the holiday, Eustigney bathes, puts on a jacket and goes for a walk. His walk is that he sits on the porch of the tavern and hurts those passing by.

One evening after work, Evstigney slightly drunk went out into the courtyard of the barracks. The Tatars sang loudly and piercingly in sharp, guttural voices. Eustigney sat on the grass and shouted to stop. The Tatars drove him away, and one rushed at him with a knife.

Evstigney left the yard and went into the forest. He went further and further and suddenly he heard the soft ringing of bells. They were drowned out by another ringing, low and melodious. Walking towards the sounds, Evstigney entered a clearing. There was a house manager. The windows in the house were burning and were wide open; someone was playing the piano. Evstigney came closer to the house and saw a woman whose hands ran nimbly along the keys. Seeing Evstigney, the woman laughed. Eustigney laughed in response. She closed the window and Eustigney went home, forgetting about the Tatars and remembering the music.

The next day, Sunday, Eustigney again went to the tavern, got drunk and had a fight. He was kicked out into the street. He went through the forest to the house where he heard music yesterday. Seeing him, the woman was frightened and called for help. With a roar, Eustigney threw a brick at the window. From the fact that he would never have bright and clean rooms, beautiful women playing the piano, he wanted to get drunk and curse.
