Only she, for some reason, was obliged, like an old woman, to sit over these letters, make notes on them, write answers, then do nothing all evening until midnight and wait until she wanted to sleep, and tomorrow they would congratulate her all day and ask her for help, and the day after tomorrow some scandal would certainly happen at the factory - someone would be beaten up, or someone would die from vodka, and for some reason her conscience would torment her; and after the holidays Nazarich would fire about twenty people for absenteeism, and all these twenty would huddle around her porch without hats, and she would be ashamed to go out to them, and they would be driven away like dogs. And all her acquaintances will speak behind her back and write to her in anonymous letters that she is a millionaire, an exploiter, that she is eating up someone else's life and sucking the blood of workers." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Genre/Subgenre: Audiobooks/Russian classics Age restrictions: 12+ Features: Read by: Denis Nekrasov Total running time: 1 hour 46 minutes IDDK, 2009
