She decided, at last, that Yásha's health might suffer from such expeditions, and regained her complacency. Kupfer went away directly after dinner, and did not show himself again for a whole week.
"She has even acted somewhere in country districts," went on Kupfer, "and, on the whole, she was created for the theatre. Thou shalt see for thyself!" "Is her name Clara?" asked Arátoff.

At first Yákoff would not hear to anything of the sort. "Why, what idea hast thou got into thy head?" exclaimed Kupfer at last.

'She has even played somewhere in the provinces, Kupfer continued, 'and altogether she's created for the theatre. There! you'll see for yourself! 'What's her name? asked Aratov. 'Clara... 'Clara? Aratov interrupted a second time. 'Impossible! 'Why impossible? Clara ... Clara Militch; it's not her real name ... but that's what she's called.
