- KLESHTCH. It seems as if soon--[_Pause._]
- BUBNOFF. Oh--that thread is rotten--rotten--
- BUBNOFF. Dreary? Hm-hm--
- PEPEL. Yes--yes--
- LUKA [_sings_] "The way is black . . ."
- PEPEL. When people sing well I like it--
- LUKA. I?
- LUKA. They're papers just the same--and no papers are any good--
- PEPEL. Baron--come on to the saloon with me--
- THE BARON. I'm ready. Good-bye, old man--you old scamp--
- LUKA. Maybe I am one, brother--

- ALYOSHKA. How do you do--? Come in--you're welcome--
- ALYOSHKA [_running out_] All right--I'll go--
- LUKA. I'll bring it over to your house--
- BUBNOFF [_to Vassilisa_] He isn't here--
- BUBNOFF. I noticed you were looking around--
- BUBNOFF. It's the actor's turn to sweep--
- BUBNOFF. Vassily? Yes--Natalia was here talking to Kleshtch--
- BUBNOFF. Well--that tie isn't worrying her any--

- BUBNOFF [_sings_]
- ZOB. Come on, Hassanka! [_Leaves the room, singing_]
- SATINE. Well, poet, are you coming? [_Exit with the Baron_]
- ANNA. Worse than that--it's he who's killed me--
- MIEDVIEDIEFF. Hm-hm--
- LUKA. Look here, boy, you really ought to go away from here--
- BUBNOFF. No. [_Exit_]
- PEPEL [_to Kostilyoff_] Go away--clear out of here--
- Old man! [_recites_]
- THE ACTOR. I'll go--I'll say to him--she lost her name--[_Exit_]

- LUKA. Yes--"There's no work," he shouted; "there isn't anything . . ."

- ALYOSHKA. Here it is! [_Whistles, Miedviedieff runs after him_]

- THE ACTOR. I!
- THE BARON [_jumping up_] What? Well--go on--
