“Do you wish to provoke me?”

“You dare to insult me only because you think I am defenceless.”
“If you really think I wish to insult you, you are the most extraordinary woman in Russia. You know so much better than that.”
“I wish you to leave the house, monsieur.”
“Why?”
“And if you will not go I will call my servants.”
“Ivan will have no hand in such madness.”
