Nikíta (turns ANÍSYA round and pushes her out). Be off!
Anísya. Where am I to go? I'll not go out of my own house!
Nikíta. Be off, I tell you, and don't dare to come in here!
Anísya. I won't go! (NIKÍTA pushes her, ANÍSYA cries and screams and clings to the door.) What! am I to be turned out of my own house by the scruff of the neck? What are you doing, you scoundrel? Do you think there's no law for you? You wait a bit!
Nikíta. Now then!
Anísya. I'll go to the Elder! To the policeman!
Nikíta. Off, I tell you!
[Pushes her out.
Anísya (behind the door). I'll hang myself!
Nikíta. No fear!
