PROKÓFYEVNA. Good-by.
They kiss each other. PROKÓFYEVNA goes out through the gate.
SCENE II
ULYÁNA and later AFÓNYA
ULYÁNA. Who knows whether Prokófyevna was lying or not. You can't believe her; she's a rogue. I'd give a lot to find out for certain if she's now with the gentleman or not. Will it hurt to wait? If she stays long, my husband will make such a fuss that I won't forget it for a month of Sundays. You're lucky that I'm in a hurry, or I'd watch out for you. [Goes out. She meets AFÓNYA] Afónya, where are you going?
AFÓNYA. Go away, leave me alone! Leave me alone!
ULYÁNA. Is Tatyána at home?
AFÓNYA. No, she's gone.
ULYÁNA. Then she's here at the gentleman's; I just saw her.
AFÓNYA. At the gentleman's? Heavens! Have people no sense of shame!
