It noted that the stairs, which was being always dragged along on the earth, was put to the window of the second floor of hotel, and window is thrown open wide. After going away a little, it was examined and saw, that on the stairs gets down man. And he got down so quietly, without being concealed, that the boy accepted him for the carpenter or joiner, who worked in the hotel.
