BABÁYEV. So this is where you live! Is this your own little house?
TATYÁNA. Our own. This is my husband.
BABÁYEV. I'm delighted. I've known your wife a long while.
KRASNÓV. That's your affair.
BABÁYEV. You're in business?
KRASNÓV. That's my affair.
TATYÁNA. Won't you be seated? [BABÁYEV and KRASNÓV take seats]
Shouldn't you like some tea?
BABÁYEV. No, thank you; I don't care for tea now.
LUKÉRYA. Ah, Tánya, we've forgotten that now in St. Petersburg they have different tastes. [To BABÁYEV] We can have coffee immediately.
BABÁYEV. No, please do not trouble yourself; I've already had some. Let us rather sit and talk. Are you happy here? Have you any amusements here?
