KRASNÓV. Yes, there's nothing to do here. My regards to you! [BABÁYEV, TATYÁNA, and LUKÉRYA go out] An unbidden guest is worse than a Tatar. What do we want with him? What use is he to us? I won't have his help; we aren't beggars. Well, be off with you! Go to St. Petersburg, and good luck to you.
Enter TATYÁNA and LUKÉRYA.
SCENE V
KRASNÓV, TATYÁNA, and LUKÉRYA
TATYÁNA. What are you doing? Why did you go and insult me so?
KRASNÓV. There's no insult! Now, look here! We haven't quarrelled once since our wedding, and I hope that we may never do so, but may always live in love.
LUKÉRYA. Fine love, I must say!
[KRASNÓV looks at her sharply.
TATYÁNA. Where is your love? Now we see it very plainly. I must serve your relatives and friends like a cook; but when our friend came, a gentleman, then you almost drove him away.
LUKÉRYA. You did drive him away, only in a roundabout fashion.
