Not far from his estate lives the already mentioned Penochkin Arkady Pavlovich - a retired officer. He is a well-mannered and reasonable person, takes care of his subjects, and also punishes them for their own good. He is not bad and he is not tall. His light brown eyes are friendly, rosy cheeks are full of health. Arkady Pavlovich - one of the most enviable suitors and educated nobles of the province. He is careful, was not involved in any story. His house in St. Petersburg is in perfect order. Arkady Pavlovich speaks in a pleasant and soft voice. Abundantly sprinkles speech in French.
Anxiety
Let's move on to the next part and continue with a brief summary. “Burmister” is a story where everything is so smooth only at first glance. Soon the narrator admits that he visits the neighbor reluctantly. The fact is that at such moments he feels a strange concern. The narrator narrates how once he had to spend the night in the house of Arkady Pavlovich. In the morning that guest did not let go without breakfast. At the same time, a footman who forgot to warm the wine was punished. Penochkin found out that the storyteller was going to Ryabovo, and decided to go with him, because in those places was his village called Shipilovka.
The final
So, we pass to the final part of the story “Burmistr”. Summary we continue acquaintance with the new hero. It's about Sofron. Penochkin praises him very much in front of the narrator, noting that he is a burmist and a statesman. Arkady Pavlovich takes the cook and the abyss of things on the road. The road was long, but finally the heroes reached Shipilovka. At the outskirts they were met by a huge red man (son of a burmistra) - an elder. Sofron was not at home. Heroes rode through the village. At the sight of the stroller, people scattered and fell silent.
When a burmister appears and they are going to inspect the possessions, the narrator sees that Sofron behaves like a master, the local people are in bondage and threatens to send everyone to the army. In addition, the case is described as, with his consent, the dead body found on the site was transferred to neighboring possessions. At the same time, Penochkin Arkady Pavlovich does not pay attention to people's complaints.
Already in Ryabov, one acquaintance told our storyteller that Shipilovka actually belonged to a burmist, and therefore he behaves like this. And Penochkin is only listed as the owner, and he doesn’t even know exactly how much land he has, only the burmistr knows.
So we examined the plot of the story “Burmistr”. A summary has been given above.
