“If Lieutenant Golightly could be proud of anything before everyone, it was that “he was immediately visible as an officer and a gentleman.” He said that he dressed so carefully for the honor of the regiment, but those who knew him better, they claimed that he was doing this out of personal vanity. In general, there was nothing bad about Golightly - not an ounce. When he met a horse, he immediately recognized what it was and knew how to do something else besides pouring wine into glasses. The lieutenant played billiards well and masterfully played whist. Everyone loved him, and it never occurred to anyone that he might one day be seen as a deserter, in handcuffs on one station platform. But just such a sad thing happened..." Translation: E. Kiselev
