OSSEP. Great heaven! have women been created only to bleed the men?
CHACHO. Don't excite yourself so, dear Ossep. What you say is in every way pure facts. But you must overlook something now and then. It can't be helped now; they are all here; you cannot chase them out of the house. The whole city would be stirred up about it.
OSSEP. And what will people say when to-morrow or the day after my creditors come and chase me out of my house?
CHACHO. Oh, don't talk about such things!
OSSEP [

]. That's easily said. But let me tell you, I feel as though the house was going to fall down on top of me.
CHACHO. What has happened, Ossep?
OSSEP. They say Barssegh Leproink has brought action against me.
CHACHO. What? Brought action against you?
