In a strange land he looks about. Glory!
Her ring and fortune will come out. Glory!"
ARÍNA. [Enters] The mummers have come; shall I let them in?
PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. Yes, let them in; let them have a dance. And you girls can sing afterwards.
SCENE VI
The same and mummers; an OLD MAN with a balalaika or guitar, a TRAINER with a bear and goat, EGÓRUSHKA with molasses.
OLD MAN. [Bowing] To all this honest company, greeting!
TRAINER. Make a bow, Mishka! [The bear bows.
OLD MAN. Do you wish me to sing and dance and amuse you, and to limber up my old bones?
PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. That's all right; yes, dance! Give them some wine,
Arinushka.
ARÍNA serves the wine; some of them drink.
