The servants' room (Gogol)
The servants' room ( Russian Лакейская , Lakeiskaja ) is a dramatic fragment by the Russian writer Nikolai Gogol , which was created in the period 1839–1840 and was published in the 1842 edition of Nikolai Gogol's works .
The servants Grigory, Pyotr and Ivan did not invent work. When her master rings the doorbell, all three continue to doze and, when he personally checks that everything is going well, invent flimsy excuses. After a foreign servant announced the arrival of Anna Petrovna, the master immediately ran away. The corpulent steward tries in vain to urge the three slackers to do housework. The fat man has bad cards in the absence of the host.
Annuschka, a maid from another house, has noticed that the landlord has gone out and takes the opportunity; stop by. The maid is deeply impressed by the polish language of the steward and willingly goes with him into his room without much ado.
