Poirot looked at me
pityingly, shaking his head very gently. «Mon
pauvre ami! But it is that you have not the gift! The important detail, you
appreciate him never! Also, your reasoning is false».
Roger
Sheringham was inclined to think afterwards that the Poisoned Chocolates Case,
as the papers called it, was perhaps the most perfectly planned murder he had
ever encountered. The motive was so obvious, when you knew where to look for it
– but you
didn’t know; the method was so significant when you had grasped its real
essentials – but you didn’t
grasp them; the traces were so thinly covered, when you had realised what was
covering them – but you didn’t
realise. But for a piece of the merest bad luck, which the murderer could not
possibly have foreseen, the crime must have been added to the classical list of
great mysteries.
The parlourmaid
seemed to think there was nothing odd in his mission, and took him up to the
drawing-room at once. A corner of the room was devoted to the silver-framed photographs of Mrs.
Verreker-le-Flemming’s friends, and there were many of them. Roger examined
them with interest, and finally took away with him not two photographs but six,
those of Sir William, Mrs. Beresford, Beresford, two strange males who appeared
to belong to the Sir William period, and, lastly, a likeness of Mrs. Verreker-le-Flemming herself. Roger liked
confusing his trail.
Marvin Geller arrived at
his office on Monday morning, with the feeling that his was a dull and conventional
existence. The night before, he had met an explorer, an actor, and a Marine
sergeant at a party. Tales of their triumphs and exploits lingered in his ears.
As he paused in front of the mahogany door, he no longer felt a thrill of pride
at the sight of the gold letters that proclaimed his function in the world.
I had nightmares about
it for several years afterward – the kind where something is on your heels, and
you make desperate efforts, each more futile than the last, to escape it – and
always felt bad about them when I woke up. I never could decide whether I was
justified in having bad dreams at all.
Teddy ate like a little
pig. When he had finished he lay down on the floor of the pantry with a
resolute air. My aunt had to carry him into the dining-room and deposit him in
a sunny spot near her easel. He was asleep and snoring before I left the room.
A dozen big firms
subsidize our mineralogical institute, and most of them keep at least one man
permanently on research there. The library has the intimate smoky atmosphere of
a club. Logan and I had been there longest and had the two tables in the big window
bay (1). Against the wall, just at the edge of the bay, where the light was
bad, was a small table which was left for newcomers or transients (2).
Paul Santin had had a good day. Small town doctors
and drug stores were doing a thriving business, and, therefore, so was Paul
Santin, pharmaceutical salesman. But it had been a long day, and now it was
past eleven. Santin was driving fast on the country back road, trying to make
it home before midnight.

Рихард Вагнер сказал:
«Музыка не
может мыслить, но она может воплощать мысль». Воплощением своих мыслей в
музыке
занимается молодой, перспективный и талантливый рэп-исполнитель Владимир
Коваль, более известный как Mr.
Zer0.
Знакомство с ним лично у
меня
произошло после его победы в конкурсе от Ritmix
и NoizeMC
«Музыка в движении». Именно тогда поразивший многих зрителей, он за
какие-то
довольно короткие сроки набрал себе массу фанатов. К примеру, на данный
момент
в его официальной группе в популярной сети Вконтакте уже около 3000
участников.
И это ещё далеко не конец!
Уже сейчас Mr. Zer0 находится на
виду у сотен своих поклонников, вместе с тем
растёт его популярность, а многие уже пророчат, что скоро его можно
будет легко
услышать на радио.
Но вопрос о его приходе в
музыку,
о том, как он решился принять участие в конкурсе «Музыка в движении»,
что дала
ему эта победа, остаётся открытым. Именно поэтому я и взяла на себя
обязанность
узнать о пути Mr. Zer0 в русском рэпе и в русской
музыке вообще.
За
50 лет существования фотоаппарата «Полароид» было сделано около пяти
миллиардов полароидных снимков. На них запечатлена четверть населения
планеты. Если собрать все эти фотографии вместе они заполнят собой
кратер Герцшпрунг на Луне. На каждом из этих снимков отображены
миллионы маленьких историй.
