      – In other words, we agree to negotiate the guide Union Armistice.

      – This noble mission. Your Majesty, it fell to you, as a wise and intelligent leader who was able to transform itself from a pack of fighting defenseless kitten into a menacing lion. Believe me, the government in the hope of beholding you. From his bombastic words Lakiya eyebrows climbed up, strong-willed fold near the nose smoothed out, the person has acquired the smug

      expression.

      – Well, I can say that their policy does not coincide with the interests of the people. From this devastation, famine, poverty and unrest.

      – I’ll let you know more about the date of the formal negotiations. – Lift up the King made it clear that the conversation was over. From quiet office they hit the sea sounds. The orchestra played the old waltz. Young people continued to dance. Respectable men and grandiloquent ladies strolled the walls, talking in a low voice. The room was stuffy.
