It was getting dark. Eric went to the i

- Tell me! The guy said softly and coldly.

What? What to tell? - frightened the man, looking around frightened.

" Tell me, why does not anyone live here long? "What happened here? Why are you selling for this price?

" Nothing has happened here, my lord. "And I sell so cheap only because of the kindness to you.

" Dear Edwin, look into my honest eyes of a nobleman. " - the poor man looked there and was warped - he had not yet met such a cold and malicious glance that sees him through and through. "Now I'll ask you one more time, and if, again, you decide to lie to me, I'll cut your tender, fat throat. "Few of this - I will say that it was so. You understood me?

The poor man nodded quickly, clapping his frightened eyes, and large drops of sweat appeared on his temples.

"Edwin, tell me, are you so kind, why does not anyone live in this house? "

I'll take this house for rent, not for a day, but for a couple of years. So rejoice. And for trying to deceive me, I'll pay you half as much - on the basis of every second Sunday, for two weeks ahead. Does this condition suit you?

Sir! Sure! It suits me completely! I will immediately send people here, that they cleaned everything up and washed it.
