Summary "Children of the Underground". Location of all events

A small hero lives in a small town called Knyazh-Gorodok. Around the city there are many ponds and there is a river with an island on which there is a real old castle. There live in that castle beggars, but not all. Once the old man Janusz, the former servant of the master, drove out of the castle most of them, allowing only "aristocrats" to remain. So it turned out that the castle was settled by the unpleasant old men and old women. The rest of the beggars settled near the old chapel, where, according to rumors, there was a whole network of dungeons. The reputation of these homeless people is not good, and all the residents of the city knew that when they approached they had to hide their wallets. The main thing they had was some Tyburcy Drab - either an impoverished aristocrat, or a former servant of some rich student, who seized the knowledge instead of the master. He often read from memory in the taverns excerpts of ancient philosophical treatises and Latin, for which he received booze and coppers. Tyburtsiya has a son and a daughter. The first - seven years old, tall, and the girl, the same age as Sonya, is small and weak. With the children of the beggar King from the dungeon Vasiliy met.

"Children of the Dungeon" : a short summary. Plot

Vasya, often walking around the city, decided to somehow explore the chapel. In the attic, he met Valek, the son Tyburcy, and Marusya, from which, according to Drab, the stones of the dungeons themselves sucked life. Vasya treated them to apples, which was the beginning of their friendship and fellowship. Vasya often complains about his father, who does not pay much attention to him, but Valek praises him, as everyone in the city knows about the justice of the judge. In the city they often discuss how Vasili's father was not afraid to judge the present count. In the course of the story, Tyuburtsy himself learns about the friendship of the children. He is angry, but allows them to communicate with the condition of keeping the secrets of the dungeon. Meanwhile, Vasya begins to understand a lot ... Beggars have a good dinner only in one case: they manage to steal something. The boy is sure that it's bad to steal, but he is so sorry for the small, morbid Marusya ... Autumn is coming. Marusya completely weakened. Small, always very sad. Once, Vasily told Sonya about her and the girl, regretting Marusya, allowed her to bring her own doll, beautiful and valuable. For a while. Maruse had a temporary gift to her liking: she even began to smile, turned pink. Vasya was very sorry for her. However, the nurse Sonya recognized the missing doll. She began to try to find out where the doll had gone. Sonya said that the doll would soon come. She (the doll) is walking. About it the father of children has learned. He asked Vasily the direct question:

"Did you take her doll?"

Vasya confessed to this. His father began to reprimand him for misconduct, because it was a gift from his deceased mother. He asked where the toy went. But Vasily was silent. The boy decided with Valen that it was necessary to return the toy home, but, seeing the tears of Marusya, each time does not dare to take the doll. But ... one day Tyburcy appears and returns the judge to the doll. He talks about the friendship of the children, and the judge realizes that he unfairly accused his son of stealing. He asks Vasya for forgiveness ... Sad news. Marusya died. His father let Vasili say goodbye to Marusya and transferred money to Tyburcy.
