One drew deep breaths and longed to fancy that not here but far away under the sky, above the trees, far away in the open country, in the fields and the woods, the life of spring was unfolding now, mysterious, lovely, rich and holy beyond the understanding of weak, sinful man. And for some reason one wanted to cry. She, Nadya, was already twenty-three.

VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. Where am I? Where am I? My God! Just as if I were in a slough; monsters.... From the left side MADAM ULANBÉKOV, NÁDYA, LÍZA, and GRÍSHA come in. The same and MADAM ULANBÉKOV, GRÍSHA, NÁDYA, and LÍZA. VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. Did our benefactress deign to attend prayer service? MADAM ULANBÉKOV. Yes, I went to vespers in town; to-day is a holiday there.

She was interested in spiritualism and homeopathy, read a great deal, was fond of talking of the doubts to which she was subject, and to Nadya it seemed as though there were a deep mysterious significance in all that. Now Nadya kissed her mother and walked beside her. "What have you been crying about, mother?" she asked.

Before you know where you are you will be a mother yourself and an old woman, and will have as rebellious a daughter as I have." "My darling, my sweet, you are clever you know, you are unhappy," said Nadya. "You are very unhappy; why do you say such very dull, commonplace things? For God's sake, why?"

"What is above all necessary is that life should pass as it were through a prism," she said; "in other words, that life in consciousness should be analyzed into its simplest elements as into the seven primary colours, and each element must be studied separately." What Nina Ivanovna said further and when she went away, Nadya did not hear, as she quickly fell asleep. May passed; June came.

You don't have to suffer because she's strict. Why should you let others get ahead of you? That'd disgrace you. LEONÍD. Well, well, but I don't know how to talk to the girls. POTÁPYCH. But what's the use of talking to them a long time? What about? What kind of sciences would you talk about with them? Much they understand such stuff! You're just the master, and that's all. That's NÁDYA, evidently.

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?

Nádya, go away, you're not needed here. LEONÍD. Well, I know why: you want to marry her off. MADAM ULANBÉKOV. Whether I do or not, my dear, is my own business. Furthermore, I do not like to have any one meddle in my arrangements. VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. What a clever young man you are; you know everything, you get into everything!

NÁDYA. If you're afraid, take yourself home. LÍZA. No, I'll wait for you. But all the same, my girl, it's awful, no matter what you say! Lord preserve us when she finds it out. NÁDYA. Always singing the same tune! If you fear the wolf, keep out of the woods. LÍZA. But what has happened to you? Before, you didn't talk like this. You used to hide yourself; and now you go to him of your own accord.

When such thoughts came into my head, and, Líza, when I began to think about the master then how dear he became to me!.... so dear, that, really, I can't tell.... Before, when he ran after me, I didn't care; but now it's just as if something drew me to him. LÍZA. Oh, my girl! Just think of it; surely this is fate! NÁDYA. And such a spirit came into me, I am afraid of nothing!
