A man, a total stranger, is coming no matter how much you try, a man is not a woman he's coming for his first visit, when we've never seen him before. BOLSHÓV. I said, stop it! AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. What a father you are! And yet you call yourself one! Ah, my poor abandoned little girl, you're just like a little orphan with drooping head! He turns away from you, and won't recognize you!
The same, RISPOLÓZHENSKY and AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA RISPOLÓZHENSKY. My dear Agraféna Kondrátyevna, haven't you pickled your cucumbers yet? AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. No, my dear. Cucumbers now, indeed! What do I care about them! But have you pickled yours? RISPOLÓZHENSKY. Certainly we have, my dear lady. Nowadays they're very dear; they say the frost got them. My dear Lázar Elizárych, how do you do?
AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. My own little dove! Eat, my dear, eat! I suppose they half starve you there! PODKHALYÚZIN. Eat, daddy! Don't be particular; we're offering you such as we have. Please do! AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. Holy saints, what am I to do now? Such is the will of God! O Lord, my God! Ah, my own little dove, you! PODKHALYÚZIN. Ah, mamma, God is merciful; we'll get out of it somehow.
God only knows what he might not do!” “His honor said to him the other day, ‘I’ll pound you in a mortar!’ ” added Marya Kondratyevna. “Oh, if it’s pounding in a mortar, it may be only talk,” observed Alyosha. “If I could meet him, I might speak to him about that too.”
Could there have been a better match? Wasn't he a Coopid ? What did you find in him that was soft? AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. He was soft enough; just a grinning booby. He came swaggering around, swaggered, strutted, strutted. What a rare bird! LÍPOCHKA. Yes, much you know! Of course he's a born gentleman; he behaves in a delicate way.
AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. That's the last thing in the world to do, my dear sir. RISPOLÓZHENSKY. Whoever grumbles, I think, offends against God, Agraféna Kondrátyevna. This is the way it happened AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. What are your front names, my dear sir? I keep forgetting. RISPOLÓZHENSKY. Sysóy Psoich, my dear Agraféna Kondrátyevna. USTÍNYA NAÚMOVNA. What does Psoich mean, my jewel?
And the other day, when I fell from the steeple, Agraféna Kondrátyevna gave me ten kopeks; I won twenty-five kopeks at heads and tails; and day before yesterday the boss forgot and left one whole ruble on the counter. The voice of FOMÍNISHNA is heard behind the scene: "Tishka, oh, Tishka! He doesn't ask my leave. If he had, I'd know. FOMÍNISHNA comes down the stairs.
LÍPOCHKA and LÁZAR do so. AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. Ah, my little doves! How in the world did it happen! I declare I've quite lost my head. "Whoever heard or saw such things? The elephant's learning to fly with wings; The hen laid a door-knob instead of an egg; And piggy is dancing a jig on a keg!" She pours out wine and goes up to RISPOLÓZHENSKY; RISPOLÓZHENSKY bows and declines the wine.
LÍPOCHKA. Let her go; she had a drink of beer after breakfast, and so she's getting fuzzy in her head. FOMÍNISHNA. That's all right; what are you laughing at? How's it coming out, Agraféna Kondrátyevna? Sometimes the beginning is worse than the end. AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. One can never find out anything from you! As soon as you begin to talk, we have to stop up our ears!
Phew! go away! Only she ought to ride in a six-horse carriage. BOLSHÓV. She'll go in a two-horse carriage she's no highflying proprietress. AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. To be sure, she's no general's daughter, but, all the same, she's a beauty! Well, pet the child a little; what are you growling like a bear for? BOLSHÓV. Well, how do you want me to pet her?
