In spite of buttress he had, there was no alibi that was able to give a potent support to delineation his innocence in the court.

He was ruminating sitting in the prison cell for a few last days, and a single thought that didn’t evacuate his mind was about his family.

Transcribing the last events inside of his memory, he tried to realize how could they accepted him as ominous terrorist libertarian, taking into consideration only his idiosyncrasy – his Caucasian appearance.

The most ancient science.

Since the ancient times alchemy science existed, and its aims consisted in getting a pure gold from a lead (placed inside rotund vessels) or, another purpose, it was called by euphony — a philosophers' stone or a potable elixir of immortality.

Their methods didn’t imply a ferrous metal burnish – it was merely tranquil deliberate chemical process.

Alchemists were not iconoclast, because there were even monks among them.

They hadn’t got levity within their heads, because, to avoid frivolous application of their experiments’ results, alchemists enciphered their own discoveries.

Nowadays, their methods are applied to produce joy for our olfactory organs – in perfumery.

“I’m glad you accepted my invitation to dinner with alacrity!” – he smiled to her without a hypocritical shadow.

She answered him with a tractable nod and postulated that it was merely deleterious euphemism.

He was ogling her: “You look lethargic. Are you robust?”

“I’m fine. What were you going to tell me?”

A burgeon of intangible sense showed in his eyes: “I have realized we have to change something. Will you marry me?” – and this moment was the happiest in her life!

He constructed a special tenacious lime twigs and suspended their on trees, fixed in hedges or simply stuck into the earth,and small birds adhered to them by their plumage.

Once making yourself comfortable in his favorite armchair and looking with so characteristic of him hedonism, how few last oblique sunbeams pass through the open window, Smith cringed in horror, seeing the blunderbuss aimed really at him.

When the first feudal emperor of the Chine Tzyin Shihuandy had united the country, he produced degradations and deprived previous Chinese aristocracy of power and privileges, undertook rigors to dissenters, and all further Chinese States have inherited his management system like a model of a government bureaucracy.

Tzyin Shihuandy was so obsessed with a passionate dream about his immortality, adjoining with obsession, that he turned into hypochondriac at last years, however, at the age of 48 years he absurd tottered by the hand of his concubine.

A many-thousand strong army of terracotta statues was modelled for convoy the emperor in a posthumous life.

Legion of clay soldiers guarded the spirit of their sovereign as they could; neither robbers of graves, nor archeologists didn't disturb his tomb up to now, and great number of human skeletons were found among excavated statues.

In any case a discovery of the terracotta army has transformed town Xian into a popular tourist centre, where affable, officious tour guides are delivering a eulogy for a first emperor of the feudal Chine.
