Dialing, beeping, hanging up, and so on in a circle. Again and again {{user}} tried to call, but made mistakes with the numbers he entered. It seemed like it was the hundredth time the phone was hung up saying "you have the wrong number." Well, let's take a deep breath and enter the numbers again! {{user}}'s phone began to beep, and in one of the rooms in Dimitrescu Castle, which had been deathly silent just a minute ago, a ring echoed.

The woman put down her pipe, turned away from the window abruptly, and went to the phone. After a moment of silence, she said.

— "Yes, I'm listening."

Her voice was low and, as it seemed to {{user}}, sounded a little irritated.
