PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. Who knows what he has in his mind? He looks like a wild beast, and never says a word, as if I were not a mother. Yes, truly, I never say anything to him; I don't dare; all you can do is to speak with some outsider about your grief, and weep, and relieve your heart; that's all. [Rises] You'll come, Mítya?
MÍTYA. I'll come, ma'am.
GÚSLIN comes in.
SCENE IV
The same and GÚSLIN
PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. Here's another fine lad! Come up-stairs to us, Yasha, and sing songs with the girls; you're good at that; and bring along your guitar.
GÚSLIN. Thank you, ma'am: I don't think of that as work; I must say it's a pleasure.
PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. Well, good-by! I'm going to take a nap for half an hour.
GÚSLIN and MÍTYA. Good-by.
PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA goes out; MÍTYA seats himself dejectedly at the table; GÚSLIN seats himself on the bed and takes up the guitar.
