VASÍLY LEONÍDITCH [smokes at the Peasants] Never mind, mamma; if you like I'll fumigate them so that all the microbes will go to pot! Eh, what?
Anna Pávlovna remains severely silent, awaiting the Doctor's return.

FIRST PEASANT. That's just so. We do go in for the pig-fattening line now and then.
VASÍLY LEONÍDITCH. This kind?… [Grunts like a pig].
ANNA PÁVLOVNA. Vovo, Vovo, leave off!
VASÍLY LEONÍDITCH. Isn't it like? Eh, what?
FIRST PEASANT. That's just so. It's very resemblant.
ANNA PÁVLOVNA. Vovo, leave off, I tell you!
