PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA _and_ ANNA IVÁNOVNA
PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. Here are the keys of the tea cupboard. Go along and
pour it out for the guests, and do everything that is necessary--you know
yourself! I've walked my legs off! But you don't mind it; you're young
yet--yes, go and serve them.
ANNA IVÁNOVNA. I'd just as soon as not. It's no great work; my hands won't
wear out!
PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. There--there's the tea in the cupboard, in the little
red caddy.
ANNA IVÁNOVNA _unlocks the door and takes out the caddy._ MÍTYA _comes in._
