A continuation of “The Miserly Lord” (Beggar Baron). The lord from the provinces finds himself in a big city, but the wonders he sees don’t surprise him at all—because inside the body of Aleksey Alekseevich, a young man of about twenty-five, there is a businessman from our time, though only at a modest level. Nearby, there is always… not a heroic horse, but the driver of a mare and a stablehand—and in the past, another of our contemporaries, an Armenian taxi driver.
