LÍZA. Well, when can we go walking? We work all day and wait on the gentry, and we go walking at night. But I am surprised at you! Don't you walk enough daytimes that you still want to wander around at night and scare people, just like….
VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. Just like what?… Well, say it, say it!
LÍZA. What? Oh, nothing.

LÍZA. I said what I said.
VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. No, don't you dare sneak out of it! Come, speak up!
LÍZA. Why did you stick to it? All right, I'll tell you: like a spook.
VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. What, what! Like a spook!… How do you dare, you dirty hussy, ha? What's this! You want to push me alive into the grave! But I'll find your lover here, and take you to the mistress. Then we'll see what song you'll sing.
