Seryozha brought in a brown suitcase with metal corners and put it next to the tank. Rebrov used a little key to undo a lock on the left side of the suitcase and carefully removed it: the lock turned out to be a giant rubber stopper. Seryozha inserted a wide funnel into the hole. Rebrov and Shtaube lifted the tank and poured its contents into the suitcase.
âThere we go,â Rebrov put the stopper back in place and locked it, ânow we can have some champagne â¦â
Shtaube uncorked a bottle and filled four glasses.
âThis is the first time in my life I havenât celebrated the New Year,â Olga took a glass and looked through the liquid at the candles.
âSame here!â Seryozha took a drink from his glass.
âCongratulations, my friends,â Rebrov smiled exhaustedly, ânow we have the liquid mother.â
âHappy New Year.â
âHooray!â
They clinked glasses and drank.
âWho wants mutton?â asked Olga.
Seryozha and Shtaube raised their hands.
âIf you donât mind, Iâm going to bed,â Rebrov rubbed his temples.
âYes, Vitya. Youâre very pale. You look tired.â
âDid you get overexcited, maybe?â
âYes ⦠everything thatâs happened ⦠my heartâs all tingly,â he took a mandarin, looked at it, then put it back. âTake the liquid mother into the smaller cellar. Good night, everyone.â
He left.
âLetâs go by the fireplace, guys,â Olga suggested, âitâs too cold here. Weâll warm the mutton over the fire and cuddle up on the furs.â
âNot a bad idea,â Shtaube drank some champagne, âfirst Iâll take the liquid mother downstairs.â
âYouâll manage alone?â
âI could carry you to the guard post and back, my darling!â Shtaube exclaimed defensively.
âReally now?â Olga smiled.
