BUBNOFF. That’s nothing!
LUKA. But for what reason—tell me! Every pimple has a cause! [Nastya remains silent, shaking her head] Oh—you men—what’s to become of you? All right—I’ll sweep the place. Where’s your broom?
BUBNOFF. Behind the door—in the hall—
[Luka goes into the hall.]
Nastinka!
NASTYA. Yes?
BUBNOFF. Why did Vassilisa jump on Alyoshka?
NASTYA. He told her that Vaska was tired of her and was going to get rid of her—and that he’s going to make up to Natasha—I’ll go away from here—I’ll find another lodging-house—
BUBNOFF. Why? Where?
NASTYA. I’m sick of this—I’m not wanted here!
