Plekhanov was saying doggedly, "Any planned economy is more efficient than any unplanned one. What could be more elementary than that? How could anyone in his right mind deny that?" And Mayer snapped, "I deny it. That term planned economy covers a multitude of sins. My dear Leonid, don't be an idiot ..." "I beg your pardon, sir!" "Oh, don't get into one of your huffs, Plekhanov."
POTÁPYCH. Somebody ought to take Uncle Gerasim's club and dress him down from top to toe. VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. Now, our dear master, wouldn't you like to go present your compliments to him, in order that he might hurry up and ask your mamma's forgiveness? But see here, Gavrílovna, is mamma actually very angry? GAVRÍLOVNA. So angry, sir, that it's terrible! LEONÍD. Well, what's to be done now!
He wondered how Leonid Koslov was, whether he had changed, or whether he had remained what he had been before, a child for all his learning. He too was a good subject for an artist. Raisky thought of Leonti's beautiful wife, whose acquaintance he had made during his student days in Moscow, when she was a young girl.
I keep thinking somehow or other, that it may still be possible to help her in some way. I don't want them! If my patience fails, that pond of ours isn't far off! You folks, look after her, please! LEONÍD goes out. LÍZA. And so the old proverb is true: What's fun for the cat is tears for the mouse. GORDÉY KÁRPYCH TORTSÓV, a rich merchant. PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA, his wife.
LEONÍD and NÁDYA reach the shore and disembark from the boat. LÍZA, NÁDYA, and LEONÍD LÍZA. What have you done, what have you done!... LEONÍD. I will. LÍZA. What's the matter, don't you hear? NÁDYA. If I can't come, I'll send a note somehow or other. LEONÍD. Good! LÍZA. Vasilísa Peregrínovna saw you rowing on the pond. NÁDYA. Well, deuce take her!
Leonid Plekhanov interrupted him coldly. "I would not suggest you attempt any such step, Mayer." Mayer glared but suddenly reversed himself. "Let's settle down and become more sensible. This is the first conference of the five we have scheduled. Ten years have elapsed.
LÍZA. My dear girl, don't carry your head too high! NÁDYA. What do you mean? I'm not sorry for this, but you are. How kind you are! Now, good-by! It's high time. I shouldn't leave you, but I can't help it; I'm not my own mistress. LEONÍD. Good-by, then! Slowly, as if unwillingly, they separate. NÁDYA returns, overtakes LEONÍD and gazes into his eyes. NÁDYA. Do you love me?
LEONÍD. What are you planning to do now? NÁDYA. That's my business. LEONÍD. But, you see, it's going to be very hard for you. NÁDYA. What business is it of yours? It will be all the happier for you. LEONÍD. But why do you talk like this? NÁDYA. Because you're still a boy!... Leave me! LEONÍD. But, you see, he's such a drunken, vile fellow. NÁDYA. Oh, my God!
Actually, of course, we've had some idea of each other's progress since team members occasionally meet on trips back here to the Pedagogue to consult the library. I am afraid, my dear Leonid, that your theories on industrialization are rapidly being proven inaccurate." "Nonsense!" Mayer said smoothly, "In the decade past, my team's efforts have more than tripled the Genoese industrial potential.
LÍZA enters. LEONÍD. Give her a kiss from me. GAVRÍLOVNA. God give you health, master, for taking our part. Any wretch can insult us; but there's no one to take our part. You'll get a rich reward for that in the next world. VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA and POTÁPYCH VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. Why don't you insult me? They all insult me, why don't you?
