Every girl hopes to get married some time. LEONÍD. But have you a suitor? NÁDYA. Not yet, sir. NÁDYA. You want to know a lot! Well, no, I needn't fib about it, I'm not in love with anybody, sir. NÁDYA. It's impossible to force the heart, sir. LEONÍD. Why? Don't you like me? NÁDYA. Well, how could I help liking you? But I'm not your equal! What sort of love is that? Clean ruin!
Joe Chessman was at the controls of the space lighter. At his side sat Leonid Plekhanov and behind them the other six members of their team. They had circled Texcoco twice at great altitude, four times at a lesser one. Now they were low enough to spot man-made works. "Nomadic," Plekhanov muttered. "Nomadic and village cultures." "A few dozen urbanized cultures," Chessman said.
I thought; "then come what may, I don't care to inquire. Marry me off to a herdsman, lock me in a castle with thirty locks!.... it's all the same to me!" LÍZA. I think the master's coming. LEONÍD enters from the opposite side, in a cloak. NÁDYA. Well, Líza, isn't he handsome, ha? LÍZA. Oh, stop! You're either sick or half out of your head! The same and LEONÍD NÁDYA. Why did you think so?
So the mistress complained at once to the town bailiff and to the priest: well, they brought the blockhead round. LEONÍD. You don't say. POTÁPYCH. Yes, sir. And even if the mistress sees a girl at one of her acquaintances', she immediately looks up a husband for her.
Ah, Potápych, how pretty she is! POTÁPYCH. She is related to me, sir, my niece. Her father was set free by the late master; he was employed in a confectioner's in Moscow. When her mother died, her mistress took and brought her up, and is awful fond of her. And because her father is dead, why, now, she's an orphan. She's a good girl. LEONÍD. Looks as if they were coming this way.
But one day when he came home he found two letters awaiting him, one from Tatiana Markovna, the other from his comrade at the University, Leonid Koslov, who had been installed in Raisky's native place as a master in the Gymnasium. During all these years his aunt had often written to him, and sent him statements of accounts.
Heavens, our hearts aren't of stone! LEONÍD. But see here! I asked her: she said she didn't love me. LÍZA. Well, if you aren't a queer one! Whoever asked girls right out whether they were in love or not! Even if one of us girls was in love, she wouldn't say so. LEONÍD. Why? LÍZA. Because she's bashful. LEONÍD. Come out here into the garden after supper, when mamma goes to bed.
LEONÍD. And did they expel you from school? NEGLIGÉNTOV. They didn't expel me; but they excluded me because I grew too much. LEONÍD. Grew too much? NEGLIGÉNTOV. Well, as I, during all this teaching and grilling, remaining in the lower grades, was getting on in years, and grew more than the other fellows of my class, of course I was excluded because I was too big.
POTÁPYCH. Well, let 'em. GAVRÍLOVNA and NÁDYA enter. The same, GAVRÍLOVNA and NÁDYA GAVRÍLOVNA. How do you do, good master? GAVRÍLOVNA. Well, master, I suppose you're bored in the country? LEONÍD. No, not at all. GAVRÍLOVNA. What, not bored yet! Why, you see it's like a monastery here; they look after you with a hundred eyes.
Joe Chessman took his heavy gun from its holster and triggered it twice. The roar of the explosions reverberated thunderously in the confined space, deafening all, and terrifying the Tulans. Bright red colored the robes the Khan wore, colored them without beauty. Bright red splattered the floor. Leonid Plekhanov stared at his second in command, wet his thick lips. "Joe," he sputtered.
