Enter LYUBÓV GORDÉYEVNA, ANNA IVÁNOVNA, MÁSHA, and LÍZA. The same and LYUBÓV GORDÉYEVNA, ANNA IVÁNOVNA, MÁSHA, and LÍZA. ANNA IVÁNOVNA. Peace, honest company! RAZLYULYÁYEV. I welcome you to our shanty. MÍTYA. Our respects! Please come in! What good wind brings you here? ANNA IVÁNOVNA. No wind we just took it into our heads and came.
And I have no way to help you, my darling! LYUBÓV GORDÉYEVNA. Well, mother, what's the use of thinking about what's impossible, and only torturing ourselves? Seats herself and is silent; some one knocks; the voice of KÓRSHUNOV is heard, "May I come in?" PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. Come in, sir. Where were you hiding yourself? He, he! I'll find you, I'll find you anywhere.
LYUBÓV GORDÉYEVNA. Don't, Mítya! Why should I deceive you? Why? I fell in love with you; so I told you, myself. But now we must not go against the will of our parents. For it is the will of my father that I should marry; I must submit to him that is a girl's lot. It must be that that's the right thing since it was so ordained of old.
"Don't pester our guest with your wild talk. Go away, mother!" Lyubov Osipovna went out, and in the entry repeated once more in a thin little voice: "Oh, it's such a pity!" A bed was made up for the visitor on the sofa in the parlour, and that it might not be dark for him they lighted the lamp before the ikon. Zhmuhin went to bed in his own room.
You see we have lived in the same house maybe I shall die before I see her again! PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. Yes, you must, you must. Say good-by to her, of course! Annushka, go and fetch Lyubóv. PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA and MÍTYA PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. Oh, Mítya, my dear! What trouble we are in! How can we drive it away get rid of it I cannot think. It's as if a thunderbolt had struck me! I can't recover myself.
ARÍNA. I understand, I understand; there'll be enough of everything. Directly, my dear, directly! PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. And a snack for the young men. ARÍNA. Everything, everything will be all right. Don't you worry yourself; you join the guests. There's more room here and it's lighter. Enter LYUBÓV GORDÉYEVNA, MÁSHA, LÍZA, ANNA IVÁNOVNA, RAZLYULYÁYEV, MÍTYA, GÚSLIN, and two GUESTS.
PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. Good-by, my dear; do not blame us in any way that would be a sin for you. God grant that you may live happily; we shall not forget you. MÍTYA bows and goes out. PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA, LYUBÓV GORDÉYEVNA and later KÓRSHUNOV. PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. How I pity that boy, Lyubóv dear! Oh, my child, oh, dear! It never entered my head that you loved him.
The lad's heart is breaking, But vain his grief must be, Because he loved a damsel Above his own degree. When all the night is darkened The sun may not appear; And so the pretty maiden. She may not be his dear." MÍTYA. You! LYUBÓV GORDÉYEVNA. Only I don't know how to do it in verse, but just plain Russian. MÍTYA. I won't look.
PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. What do you mean? What do you mean, you scamp? LYUBÓV GORDÉYEVNA. What an idea, Mítya! MÍTYA. So you don't love me? Or have you ceased to love me? LYUBÓV GORDÉYEVNA. What you say is dreadful! PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. What an idea, you scamp! Who would dare to take such a sin on his soul? Yes, come to your senses! What are you thinking of? MÍTYA. Why, I said if you're sorry!
LÍZA. Anna Ivánovna, you are just saying what isn't true. ANNA IVÁNOVNA. Oh, you modest thing! I'd like to say a word but it wouldn't be nice before the boys! I've been a girl myself. I know all about it. LYUBÓV GORDÉYEVNA. There are girls and girls! MÁSHA. Oh, how embarrassing! LÍZA. What you say sounds very strange to us, and, I must say, it's disconcerting. RAZLYULYÁYEV. Ha, ha, ha!
