I am in Moscow, which in itself is touching and mysterious. Now, finally, nothing annoys me. You can take a kettle.
We will take care of pies. They rob me, there will be nothing to eat soon. Firstly, they were awarded as many as four pieces - that is, they recognized for "intertext in the broad sense of the word." That's good, I like it. I sincerely congratulate the poodle. I give the other four pies with great pleasure to Boris Smilge for the beautiful two -way from the Guard to Holmes. Here it is:
1. In the "White Guard", when Nikolka runs home after the death of Ni-Turs and barely breaks out of the clutches of an echo-like janitor, he sees and thinks:"... the red -haired janitor, only the nu -Tursov junker slipped, the gates to the gate were traveled, and in front of Nikolka there was a completely irresistible barrier - a smooth to the top, a dull iron wall. Nikolka turned into the sky, extremely low and thick, saw a light black staircase on Brandmauer, leaving for the roof of a four -story building. “Is it?” He thought, and at the same time he remembered the stupid picture: Nat Pinkerton in a yellow jacket and with a red mask on his face climbs the same ladder, “E, NAT Pinkerton, America ... but then I climbed and then? As an idiot I will sit on the roof, and the janitor will call the Petliurites at that time. This Nero will betray. I split his teeth ... I will not forgive! "
2. From Pinkerton to Holmes, obviously, one step is the same genre, whatever one may say, although these endless Pinkerton “ten -cent” books on the level of text quality with Sir Arthur I do not risk comparing. Formally, the transition to Sherlock can be organized, for example, through Vysotsky "bits of Gusev":
I am in sight - both with action and gaze,
I give my presence.
Nat Pinkerton and Sherlock Holmes - junk!
Sleep calmly, people: Gusev - nearby.(total chain:
Bulgakov // White Guard ->
Texts about Nate Pinkerton ->
Vysotsky // Guseva's purchases ->
Conan-Dol // Texts about Sherlock Holmes ).
This is really very beautiful and elegant 1 .
Total cake situation we have this:
Alexey Quarant - 3
Alex - 1
Vladimir Sanin - 4
Poodle - 4
Boris Smilga - 4
Bon appetit. Success to everyone else.
In general, the scheme of space looks like this:

In the vote, Mary Poppins won us. That is, we just betrayed Russian children's literature.
From Mary, we have only two possible transitions. I really wanted to make a mysterious for this. Vladimir Sanin gave me a suitable idea, and now I will give out all kinds of pies to those who write to me than the two texts proposed below are connected. For the correct answer, I will give 3 pies, I will evaluate the wrong to the best of my own abilities by the degree of wit.
Ergali Ger // Electric Lisa
Pavich // Khazar Dictionary
Success to everyone.
That's it. Now - for the matter, to the chain from Sherlock Holmes to the enemy Poppins . For the sake of exercise, I will give this chain in the reverse order today; Who cares, can take care and write to me what is the fundamental difference between such an approach and usual.
So, Jane in a disgusting mood dreams of finally - finally! - To stay in the family of the youngest. Jane did not read the Russian fairy tale "Flower-seven-color", otherwise it would be clear to her that wanting too much dangerous and generally not good. Therefore, it falls in the Middle Ages (later), depicted on a porcelain dish. Everything is bad; Everything turns out to be completely different from what she expected; Instead of a green lawn, a gloomy castle, instead of a sweet little boy, is a stupid grandfather ... But the Weller Chizhikov, who believes that "everything will be settled" if you get into a picture from the Russian museum. As a result, everything is bad here; The picture was outweighed, instead of a decadent pastoral, a revolutionary canvas, instead of delicate geese - a rudely abuse of a fighter.
He sensed, it is clear that there will be no good from his venture; He went to church, searched for explanations to an unexpected phenomenon of movement from reality to reality through works of fine art. I erupted to the ass to reception: "What kind of business are you?" - asked him. “On the personal one,” Chizhikov answered quickly. He read it and Petrov. ”
This refers, of course, the moment where Ostap in the "Twelve Chairs" interrogates the poor Kit:
"- And who are you? Why did you come here?
- Well, he came from the city of N on the case.
- In what case?
- Well, in the personal file.
- And after that you say that you are not an emigrant? .. "
Insight never changed the great combinator; So, for example, seeing the kidnapper of the Panikovsky geese - with prey in his hands and a crowd of pursuers on his tail - he sensed in the imaginary blind dog and picked him up, took it under the wing. The fate of another kidnapper of geese - an unpleasant man named Ryder, who wanted to appropriate someone else's property in the amount of one blue carbuncle , was much worse.
Ryder, however, did not bother to mark the goose properly; This, however, does not bother us. We, in fact, are already in Sokolniki.
The chain came out of this:
Conan-Dol // Blue Carbuncle
Ilf and Petrov // Romanes about Ostap Bender
Weller // Everything will be settled
Traverse // Mary Poppins
I will be glad of additional options.

1 By the way, since we went from the BG to Pinkerton, here is another quote: in the Konduyit and Swabbani Kassil, Nata Pinkerton, the famous detective Sherlock Holmes, imperceptibly pursued. " Which only confirms the success of the first -move chosen by Boris.
