TONY (mysteriously)

Where are they going, eh?

SPERANSKY

To the elevation of the ikon. To-morrow is a feast-day—the day of raising the ikon.

TONY

No, I mean where are they really going—really—don't you understand?

SPERANSKY

I do. It isn't known. No one knows, Anthony.

TONY

Hush! (Makes a funny grimace, closes his mouth with his hand and leans on it)
