4
00:00:20,102 --> 00:00:23,202
In one of the outlying streets of Moscow,

5
00:00:23,403 --> 00:00:27,203
there once lived a lady,
a widow,

6
00:00:27,604 --> 00:00:30,704
surrounded by a numerous
household of serfs.

7
00:00:31,705 --> 00:00:36,705
Her day, a joyless and gloomy
day, had long been over;

8
00:00:37,006 --> 00:00:40,406
and the evening of her life
was blacker than night.

9
00:00:41,207 --> 00:00:44,807
Because of this, she was
tantrum-prone and capricious.

10
00:00:46,208 --> 00:00:52,208
In her house lived comates,
laundresses, sempstresses,

11
00:00:53,109 --> 00:00:56,809
carpenters, tailors and tailoresses,

12
00:00:57,210 --> 00:01:02,210
a harness-maker, and a
household doctor for the mistress.

13
00:02:11,811 --> 00:02:20,111
Of all her servants, the most
remarkable person was the
deaf and dumb porter, Gerasim.

14
00:02:20,112 --> 00:02:23,312
He missed his home dearly,

15
00:02:23,313 --> 00:02:26,000
but a man can get used to anything,

16
00:02:26,001 --> 00:02:30,101
and Gerasim got used at last to city life.

17
00:02:31,102 --> 00:02:34,702
Among these servants was a
laundress named Tatiana.

18
00:02:34,903 --> 00:02:37,303
At one time she had passed for a beauty,

19
00:02:37,704 --> 00:02:40,804
but her good looks had
left her very early;

20
00:02:41,205 --> 00:02:45,905
she did the work of two, but
had never known any affection.

21
00:02:46,606 --> 00:02:51,000
She took his fancy, whether by
the mild expression of her face,

22
00:02:51,001 --> 00:02:54,501
or the timidity of her
movements, who can tell?

23
00:03:07,872 --> 00:03:11,902
The mistress also had a
shoemaker, named Kapiton.

24
00:03:12,903 --> 00:03:14,503
A sad drunkard.

25
00:03:15,004 --> 00:03:18,504
The lady regretted the
corrupted morals of Kapiton,

26
00:03:19,105 --> 00:03:21,305
And so she proposed
to the head steward:

27
00:03:21,806 --> 00:03:24,906
Why don't we marry Kapiton?

28
00:03:25,506 --> 00:03:27,906
Perhaps he'll become steadier.

29
00:03:28,507 --> 00:03:31,000
I fancy he likes Tatiana.

30
00:03:31,101 --> 00:03:34,701
Yes! ...let him marry Tatiana!

31
00:05:19,552 --> 00:05:21,202
So passed a year

32
00:05:22,103 --> 00:05:25,303
Kapiton became a hopeless drunkard.

33
00:05:26,304 --> 00:05:29,004
and as being absolutely
of no use for anything,

34
00:05:29,605 --> 00:05:35,005
was sent away in the spring
to a distant village with Tatiana.

35
00:05:35,806 --> 00:05:37,506
With the first store wagons.

36
00:07:43,907 --> 00:07:47,807
All night did Gerasim
look after the pup.

37
00:07:48,708 --> 00:07:52,208
No mother could have
looked after her baby

38
00:07:52,809 --> 00:07:57,009
as Gerasim looked
after his little nursling.

39
00:07:57,010 --> 00:08:00,710
He had even given
her a name - "Mumu".

40
00:08:27,911 --> 00:08:32,111
Mumu fulfilled that spiritual emptiness

41
00:08:32,112 --> 00:08:35,912
which Gerasim had after the
departure of Tatiana.

42
00:08:36,913 --> 00:08:39,913
The loneliness which had
tortured and worried him

43
00:08:40,714 --> 00:08:41,914
suddenly vanished.

44
00:08:42,615 --> 00:08:45,415
He now gave all of his
love and attachment

45
00:08:45,516 --> 00:08:50,216
to the little living creature, Mumu.

46
00:09:20,917 --> 00:09:23,917
Upon seeing Mumu, the lady cried out:

47
00:09:24,318 --> 00:09:28,518
Mercy! But it's a charming little dog!

48
00:09:28,719 --> 00:09:30,619
Order it to be brought in.

49
00:09:48,020 --> 00:09:52,420
Oh, how stupid she is!
Take her away from here!

50
00:09:54,121 --> 00:09:56,121
A wretched little dog!

51
00:09:56,202 --> 00:10:02,322
What trifles, if you think of it,
will sometimes disturb anyone!

52
00:13:33,103 --> 00:13:37,903
The lady liked to pretend that she
was a bent and widowed sufferer.

53
00:13:38,504 --> 00:13:46,004
"Can some wretched dog really be
more prized than my own life?"

54
00:13:46,005 --> 00:13:47,205
she complained,

55
00:13:48,206 --> 00:13:53,906
and the head steward promised
that tomorrow, the dog would
not be among the living.

56
00:14:15,107 --> 00:14:22,007
The head steward tried to explain
to Gerasim that the lady was
dissatisfied with him,

57
00:14:22,908 --> 00:14:27,908
and that he must hand
over the dog at once,

58
00:14:28,509 --> 00:14:31,709
or it would be the worse for him.

59
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,910
Gerasim hurried without looking back.

60
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,811
He hurried home to his own village,

61
00:17:26,212 --> 00:17:28,000
to his home land,

62
00:17:28,601 --> 00:17:32,601
as though his old mother
were waiting for him,
and calling him,

63
00:17:33,502 --> 00:17:39,102
after a long journey among
foreign lands and foreign people.
