Yeremey. That's my name—Yeremey. But they call me Herod, carefully adding King, so that there may be no mistake. Look, there comes another monk, a plague on him. Say, did you ever see His countenance?
SAVVA

KING HEROD

KONDRATY (enters)
Peace be with you, honest folks. Good evening, Savva. To what lucky chance do I owe this meeting?
KING HEROD
Look, monk, the devil's tail is sticking out of your pocket.
