Капита́н мра́чно посмотре́л на свою́ шпа́гу, кото́рая висе́ла на стене́. В стоя́щем ря́дом шкафу́ храни́лся его́ изно́шенный и вы́цветший мунди́р. Как мно́го дней уже́ прошло́ с тех пор, когда́ в после́дний раз он надева́л вое́нную фо́рму!

Капита́н держа́л в руке́ письмо́, кото́рое он получи́л от неё то́лько что. Письмо́, кото́рое вы́звало на его́ лице́ мра́чное выраже́ние. Он сно́ва и сно́ва перечи́тывал фата́льные стро́ки, кото́рые разру́шили все его́ наде́жды.
