Tánya. These are peasants from the Kursk village, Vasíli Leonídych!
Vasíli Leonídych (to the messenger). And who is that? Oh, yes, from Bourdier!
(The peasants bow. Vasíli Leonídych pays no attention to them. Grigóri meets Tánya at the door. Tánya remains.)
Scene XIX. The same and Grigóri.
Vasíli Leonídych. I told you the other shoes! I cannot wear these!
Grigóri. The others are standing there, too.
Vasíli Leonídych. Where?
Grigóri. In the same place.
Vasíli Leonídych. You are lying.
Grigóri. You will see for yourself. (Vasíli Leonídych and Grigóri exeunt.)
Scene XX. Tánya, three peasants, and Messenger.
Third Peasant. Maybe, let me say, it is not time now, and we had better go to our lodging and wait awhile.
Tánya. No, never mind, just wait. I will bring you at once some plates for the presents. (Exit.)
Scene XXI. The same, Sakhátov, Leoníd Fédorovich, followed by Fédor Iványch.
(The peasants pick up the presents and strike an attitude.)
Leoníd Fédorovich (to the peasants). In a minute, in a minute, just wait! (To the messenger.) And who is this?
Messenger. From Bourdier.
Leoníd Fédorovich. Ah, from Bourdier.
