A gift mug (Anton Chekhov's story "Two Newspapermen"). A literary plot.
Anton Chekhov was walking down a Moscow street, reflecting on the events at Khodynka Field. He was busy with idea of the story "A Dead Body."
He approached the house of Aleksei Sergeyevich Suvorin. Suvorin is a boss, and politeness dictates Chekhov to pay Suvorin a visit.
Suvorin is glad to see Chekhov. The conversation turns toward the Khodynka Field. Suvorin is horrified. What's going on?!!!
Chekhov agrees: yes, it's terrible!
Suvorin is devastated by the events that have occurred. He shakes Chekhov's hand. Chekhov continues his way through the Moscow streets. Suvorin pulls a sheet of paper toward himself, quickly fills the empty page with text, and places the sheet in a folder. There is an inscription at the folder: "The Diary of A.S.Suvorin."
On the way, Chekhov enters a tavern. In the tavern, away from the other visitors, Vladimir Gilyarovsky sits at a separate table.
A beautiful mug is on the table in front of Gilyarovsky.
Gilyarovsky happily greets Chekhov: "Have a seat!"
Gilyarovsky looks at the mug, periodically picks it up, turns it from side to side, looks at it, puts it down on the table, and continues writing. In front of him are two stacks of paper. One stack contains empty sheets, the other contains filled, written ones.
"I got a gift mug. From Khodynka! I'm writing a newspaper article for "The Chicken Blindness." They promised me five kopecks per line!"
Gilyarovsky and Chekhov are exchanging a few words about the events that have taken place. Gilyarovsky shakes Chekhov's hand. Chekhov continues his journey through the Moscow streets.
Gilyarovsky inspects the gift mug and continues writing.
The idea for the story "A Dead Body", in Chekhov's consciousness, is moving aside.
Chekhov comes home and quickly writes the story "Two Newspapermen." The editorial office will pay the author five kopecks per line.
