GROOMSMEN, GENTLEMEN, WAITERS, ETC.
The scene is laid in one of the rooms of Andronov's Restaurant.
[A brilliantly illuminated room.
A large table, laid for supper.
Waiters in dress-jackets are fussing round the table.
An orchestra behind the scene is playing the music of the last figure of a quadrille.]
[ANNA MARTINOVNA ZMEYUKINA, YATS, and a GROOMSMAN cross the stage.]
ZMEYUKINA.
No, no, no!
YATS. [Following her] Have pity on us!
Have pity!
ZMEYUKINA.
No, no, no!
GROOMSMAN. [Chasing them] You can't go on like this!
Where are you off to?
What about the grand ronde?
Grand ronde, s'il vous plait! [They all go off.]
[Enter NASTASYA TIMOFEYEVNA and APLOMBOV.]
NASTASYA TIMOFEYEVNA.
You had much better be dancing than upsetting me with your speeches.
APLOMBOV.
I'm not a Spinosa or anybody of that sort, to go making figures-of-eight with my legs.
I am a serious man, and I have a character, and I see no amusement in empty pleasures.
But it isn't just a matter of dances.
You must excuse me, maman, but there is a good deal in your behaviour which I am unable to understand.
For instance, in addition to objects of domestic importance, you promised also to give me, with your daughter, two lottery tickets.
Where are they?
NASTASYA TIMOFEYEVNA.
My head's aching a little...
I expect it's on account of the weather....
If only it thawed!
APLOMBOV.
You won't get out of it like that.
I only found out to-day that those tickets are in pawn.
You must excuse me, maman, but it's only swindlers who behave like that.
I'm not doing this out of egoisticism [Note: So in the original] — I don't want your tickets — but on principle; and I don't allow myself to be done by anybody.
I have made your daughter happy, and if you don't give me the tickets to-day I'll make short work of her.
I'm an honourable man!
NASTASYA TIMOFEYEVNA. [Looks round the table and counts up the covers] One, two, three, four, five...
A WAITER.
The cook asks if you would like the ices served with rum, madeira, or by themselves?
