SCENE IV
The same and GÚSLIN
PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. Here's another fine lad! Come up-stairs to us, Yasha, and sing songs with the girls; you're good at that; and bring along your guitar.
GÚSLIN. Thank you, ma'am: I don't think of that as work; I must say it's a pleasure.
PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. Well, good-by! I'm going to take a nap for half an hour.
GÚSLIN and MÍTYA. Good-by.
PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA goes out; MÍTYA seats himself dejectedly at the table; GÚSLIN seats himself on the bed and takes up the guitar.
