TATYÁNA. You'd better not speak of your love. What do I want with your love when you disgrace me at every step.
KRASNÓV. I don't understand the reason for this argument! The whole affair isn't worth discussing. We probably won't ever see him again, and we have no need of him; he went with what he came. We have to live our life together; it isn't worth our having trouble over him.
TATYÁNA. Ah, Lusha, what a disgrace! I wonder what he'll think of us now?
LUKÉRYA. Yes. He'll soon go back to St. Petersburg; a fine opinion of us he'll take away with him!
KRASNÓV. I tell you again, that you should dismiss him and his opinions from your mind. The whole affair isn't worth a kopek. I think that whether he's alive or no, it's all the same to us.
TATYÁNA. It may be all the same for you, but not so for us. Sister and I have promised to visit him and we want to go to-day.
KRASNÓV. There's no need.
TATYÁNA. How, no need? I tell you that I want to see him.
KRASNÓV. You want to, but I'm not anxious. Ought you to consider my wishes or not?
TATYÁNA. You seem to have assumed authority all of a sudden. You certainly don't imagine that we'll obey you.—No, indeed, we won't.
