My heart bleeds that they don't respect you, that they don't respect you even in your own house! In your honorable house, in such pious premises as these, to do such things! You want to croak about something or other. Well, croak away! VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. Benefactress, I'm afraid it might upset you. MADAM ULANBÉKOV. You've upset me already. Talk! MADAM ULANBÉKOV. Well!
VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. Benefactress, one must have feeling for his fellow creature, one must have feeling. But what kind of feelings can such as they have, save ingratitude? MADAM ULANBÉKOV. No one's talking to you! Still crying! Your will must be obeyed! MADAM ULANBÉKOV. Well, I should say! Of course it must; because I brought you up; that's equal to giving you life itself. LEONÍD enters.
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?
You do favors to people who aren't even worth your looking at. One must do good to his neighbor. VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. But do they feel that good? Can they understand, heartless creatures, how great is your condescension to them? MADAM ULANBÉKOV. It's all the same to me, my dear! One must do good for his own sake, for his own soul.
VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. You haven't any money for anything else; but you have for such things. POTÁPYCH. Well, anyhow, it ain't your business. VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. Of course, Potápych, you're an old man, why shouldn't you take a drink once in a while? POTÁPYCH. Sure, I guess I work for it. VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. Just so, Potápych! POTÁPYCH. I'm tired of being lectured by you!
"Fie, thou old hag! thou call'st me a good youth, but thou shouldst first feed and give me drink, and prepare me a bath, then only shouldst thou ask me questions." The Baba-Yaga fed him and gave him to drink, and made ready a bath for him, and the Tsarevich told her he was seeking his wife, Vasilisa. "I know," said the Baba-Yaga; "she is now with Koshchei.
This night is shorter than a sparrow's beak. How can we go home then? How brave that Nádya is! Enter VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. LÍZA and VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. What are you doing there, dearest? LÍZA. Can't you see? I'm taking a stroll. VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. I see! How can I help it? But what kind of a night-walk is this? LÍZA. Well, when can we go walking?
VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. I wish you well, Potápych. If you'd only put in a word for us when she's in a good humor; but you just look for the wrong time, in order to complain of us. VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. What do you say, Potápych? God preserve me! POTÁPYCH. What's that! No matter how much you swear, I know you! For instance, why are you coming to the mistress now?
Soon I shall die, soon; my soul feels its fast approaching end! Raising her eyes heavenward Shelter me from men, O lid of my coffin! Take me to thee, moist earth! Then you'll be happy; then you'll be joyful! POTÁPYCH. We? What's it to us?.... Tend to your own business. GAVRÍLOVNA. While God is patient with your sins. VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. For my sins I have already been tortured here.
Vasilísa PEREGRÍNOVNA says she saw you in the garden last night with the master. Well, now, you can thank yourself. I'm not a conniver at loose conduct, and I won't endure it in my house. I can't turn you out as a vagabond, that would weigh upon my conscience. MADAM ULANBÉKOV. Fiddlesticks! What I have once said is sacred. And what do you mean by this scene? Can't you see that I'm not well?
