Chivako chikuru, iyo "watt," inourayiwa zvine hungwaru, iyo yepakati spire inosvika kureba kwemamita 150. Kuonekwa nekunze kwaiita kunge dhaisi hombe, raive neshongwe sechivako chemberi pakona imwe neimwe uye portal hombe kune rumwe rutivi. Zvivako zvacho zvainyanya kugadzirwa nemishenjere, matenga akafukidzwa nemameti eshenjere akapendwa nemavara. Iwo akawanda macurls, nzizi uye kumwe kushongedzwa, sekubatanidzwa kwechimiro, akaurayiwa zvine hungwaru zvekuti munhu aisakwanisa kutarisisa pasi pekuvakwa kweSiamese, iyo yakaitwa nezviwanikwa zvishoma. Pamberi pemasuo, sokunge zvakadaro, pakamira sevachengeti vemikova zvidhori zviviri zvikuru zvavamwari, zvinosvika mamita gumi neshanu mudenga, izvo zvaimirira shato. Mukati me“watt” wakanga une chimiro chemuchinjikwa uye wakanga wakarongwa muchivanze nenzira yokuti mikova yaienderana nemagonhi mana.
Pakati pechivanze pakanga pane aritari yaipenya negoridhe. Kupisa kwaizoitika paatari iyi. Madziro acho akanga akafukidzwa nemakapeti anodhura, uye maranjisi akawanda akarembera kubva padenga remba, ayo aivhenekera mukati nemavara emuraraungu kuburikidza nezviuru zvemaprism egirazi akachekwa.

Mhemberero pachadzo dzakatanga musi waChikunguru 10; dzakavhurwa nemitambo yemazuva ese. Iyi mitambo haina mhosva uye yakatanga nekapeti hombe ine juggler uye clown tricks; tsoko dzakasvibirira dzine misoro mitsvuku, shato, mapere, makarwe, muchidimbu, zvisikwa zvese zvinogoneka uye zvisingagoneki zvinoonekwa. Kana kwatanga kusviba, mitambo yemumvuri inoitwa pazvidimbu zvakatambanudzwa zverineni uyezve chiratidziro chakachena chemoto chinodzimwa. Nenguva dzepfumbamwe mambo akabva panhandare yemutambo. Munguva yemitambo, maapuro madiki egirinhi eorange akakandwa pakati pevanhu kubva pamapurupiti makuru mana, pane imwe neimwe yakamira vaprista vana; chimwe nechimwe chezvibereko izvi chaiva nemari yesirivha. Mambo pachake anoberekawo michero yakadaro pakati peavo vakamupoteredza, asi izvi zvine nhamba, dzinotorwa ndokutsinhanwa mutende nokuda kwechimwe chezvipo, izvo zvinosanganisira zvinhu zvinokosha zvikuru. Vanhu vanobva vaenda kudzimba dzemitambo, uko kunoenderera mberi nemitambo yavo kusvika mambakwedza. Mitambo yacho inowanzoita vhiki uye ine nyaya yakaipisisa, kuponda uye kuuraya, kuuraya, kutongwa kumatare, zvese zvinoitwa mumhando dzakasiyana-siyana, zvipfeko zvakanyanyisa uye zvinoyevedza ne alarm yemimhanzi inotyisa.

Pazuva rechipiri kuendeswa kwemutumbi wamambo wechipiri kubva mumuzinda wake kuenda ku“watt” kwakaitika. Mushakabvu uyu anga agariswa muhuni hombe yakashongedzwa kwenguva inodarika gore, panguva iyi mureza wepamuzinda wake wakanga wabhururuka uri pakati nepakati. Zviuru zvavanhu zvakanga zvatosvika nokukurumidza zvikuru kuti zvione ichi chishamiso chisingawanzoitiki. Pakasvika 10 o'clock mangwanani mudungwe wakanga warongwa, vatungamiriri vawo vakanga vatomira pamberi pe“watt”, nepo vokupedzisira vakanga vachiri vakamirira mumuzinda nokuda kwechiratidzo chaibva kuna mambo kuti vatange kufamba.

Mambo haana kumirira kwenguva refu uye akaoneka panguva chaiyo. Akanga akatakurwa ari muchigaro che<em>sedan chakashongedzwa nesimbi nevaranda 20 vakapfeka zvipfeko zvinodhura. Patsoka dzake pakanga pagere vana vake vaviri, muchinda muduku nomuchinda, uye pazasi patsoka dzake vamwe vana vaviri. Mambo akatevera vakuru nevaranda vavo nevaranda; tevere muchinda wekorona mundiro yakagadzirwa nedenga uye inotakurwa navaranda vatanhatu. Wekupedzisira aitevera vana vamambo mumatare mana, avo varanda vaitakura marudzi ose ezvinhu zvaidiwa nevaduku. Ipapo kwakauya mabhiza matatu akaisvonaka, achitungamirirwa navaranda vakanga vakapfeka tambo dzvuku refu. Mudungwe uyu wakavharwa nechikamu chevarindi nemasoja.

Sezvo mambo aiswedera pedyo, vaSiamese vakatsikitsira pasi ndokukwazisa nokusimudza maoko avo katatu kumutongi wavo, uyo akagutsurira musoro mukuonga. Achisvika paive padiki paya akaburuka zvake ndokugara pachigaro chaive chakasimudzwa nemachinda. Ainge akapfeka zvitema, akapfeka ribhoni remumba make, ari munhu aiyevedza chaizvo aneganda rakatsvuka nemandebvu matema uye ari pakati pemakore 35 ne40. Apedza kubatidza mudzanga nekumhoresa vanhu vaivepo, akabva aratidza kutanga kwemudungwe chaiwo wemafaro. Izvi zvakavhurwa nemabhena 17 esirika tsvuku; vakatakurwa nevaranda, vaifamba muchimiro chetriangle. Vaivatevera kwaiva neboka revarwi. Mumhanzi we regimental wakaridza kufa kwaChopin. Uniform iyi yaisanganisira bhachi reblue, tirauzi refu jena nehelmet yechirungu. Varume vacho vakanga vasina shangu, kufora kwavo kwakashamisa vaEurope.

Varwi pavakapfuura mambo vakaita mudungwe vakatarisana naye, vakapa pfuti, mumhanzi uchiridzwa rwiyo rwenyika yeSiamese. Mhuka dzakati wandei dzakaoneka seboka rechipiri mudungwe, kutanga chipembere chakafukidzwa chakadhonzwa nevaranda makumi maviri pangoro yakareba mafiti maviri, tevere nzou mbiri dzakashongedzwa zvakanakisa, tevere mabhiza maviri akashongedzwa zvakaisvonaka, pakupedzisira mutsara muhombe wemashato akaumbwa nounyanzvi. nyoka, zvichingodaro. Munhu haagoni kutsanangura kupfuma kwakakudziridzwa pano, mhatsa huru yemavara. Kuseri kweboka remhuka kwakauya vaprista, vasina misoro uye vasina shangu, vakapfeka nguo refu chena uye vachiperekedzwa nevatambi vendarira vakapfeka zvipfeko zvine mavara-mavara. Iyoyi yakateverwa nengoro yaidhonzwa nemabhiza masere nevaranda 20, unyanzvi hwechokwadi hwokuveza, hwoukuru hukuru; zvaiita sezvikepe zvitanhatu kana kuti zvinomwe zvakaiswa chimwe pamusoro pechimwe, pamusoro pacho chaiita segondola. Mariri maigara harahwa yakanga yakapfeka sirika yeyero—mupristi mukuru.

Apo ngoro yacho yakasvika pa“watt”, muprista mukuru akaburuka nemanera ndokukwazisa mambo kupfurikidza nokusimudza ruoko rwake katatu. Akabva apinda mukati me "watt" nevafundisi vose kuti varopafadze chitunha. Munguvayi mudungwe wakapfuurira uye vamwe vairidza ngoma 100 vakatevera, zvitunha zvemabugler, pakati pavo paiva nevaranda vakatakura marudzi ose ezviratidzo zvorudzidziso, vose vakapfeka zvipfeko zvakaisvonaka zvikuru. Zvino pakatevera imwe ngoro, yakanga yakanaka kwazvo, huru nokunaka kupfuura yokutanga, pakanga pane zvisaririra zvamambo zvakanga zviri munguvo yendarama, pasi pechifukidzo chechigaro choushe. Pavakasvika pa "watt", urn yakabviswa pasi pekutungamirirwa kwemupristi, yakaiswa pamarara akashongedzwa zvakanaka uye akatakurwa mu "watt". Kuseri kwemarara kwaifamba vanakomana, varanda nevaranda vemushakabvu. Chitunha chakaiswa paatari. Mushure mekunge muprista aimisa zvakanaka kuma12 o'clock, mambo akapinda mu "watt". Vanhu vaibvumirwawo kupinda manheru.

Zuva rechitatu remhemberero rakapfuura pasina mitambo yeruzhinji; mu "watt" matanho ekugadzirira kwekupisa akatorwa.

Pakupedzisira, paSvondo, July 14, kupiswa kwakakomba kwakaitika. Nhume dzose nevamiriri, pamwe chete nevamwe vanoverengeka vokuEurope, vakakokwa. Mushure mekunge vaenzi vaonekwa vari vazhinji mutende, tii, kofi, ice cream, nezvimwe zvakaratidzwa. Munguva iyi, machinda akagovera maruva uye wakisi makenduru akagadzirwa neanonhuhwirira sandalwood, iyo yaifanira kuiswa pasi peurini.

Kuma 6 o'clock mambo akaoneka, ari mutema, akashongedzwa zvakanaka nemarabhoni ehurongwa, ndokukwazisa vaenzi. Maruva nekenduru yakavhenekerwa akapiwawo kwaari, achibva aenda kuatari ndokutungidza moto pambuto inokosha yenamo nehuni. Panguva imwecheteyo kuchema kwekuchema kwakanzwika kubva kumadzimai nevaranda vemushakabvu. Utsi uye kunhuwa kusingagoneki kwakakurumidza kumanikidza vanhu kubuda; mambo akatangazve nzvimbo yake mutende, uye mitambo yakabva yatanga zvakare. Chiratidziro chikuru chezvipfuti chakagumisa zororo racho. Zviuru zvemarambi, marambi ane mavara pashongwe, uye mwoto weBengali wakavhenekera nhandare yemitambo, uye apo mwedzi wakazara wakaoneka mudenga kumapfumbamwe, vanhu vakanzwa sokunge vakanga vazvitakura vamene kuenda ku“Chiuru neChimwe Cheusiku”.

Zuva rakatevera madota amambo akaunganidzwa, kunyange zvazvo pakanga pasina mhemberero inokosha yaibatanidzwa, uye yakachengetwa muhari yendarama.

Zuva rechitanhatu uye rekupedzisira remabiko ekuremekedza mufi rakapedzwa nekukanda madota muMan-Arms. Ari pamusoro pemauto ake emugungwa, ayo akanzwika kufora kwomutyairi wengarava kweGermany kwaizivikanwa, mambo akadzokera kumuzinda wake.
