Служил на Кавказе офицером один барин. Звали его Жилин. Пришло ему раз письмо из дома. Пишет ему старуха мать: 'Стара я уж стала, и хочется перед смертью повидать любимого сынка. Приезжай со мной проститься, похорони, а там и с богом поезжай опять на службу. А я тебе и невесту приискала: и умная, и хорошая, и именье есть. Полюбится тебе может, и женишься и совсем останешься'.

An officer by the name of Jilin served in the army in the Caucasus. One day he received a letter from home. It was from his mother, who wrote, 'I am getting old now, and I want to see my beloved son before I die. Come and say good-bye to me, and when you have buried me, with God's grace, you can return to the Army. I have found a nice girl for you to marry; she is clever and pretty, and has some property of her own. If you like her perhaps you will marry and settle down for good.'
