DORN. What do you mean by "here?" TREPLIEFF. In the village, at the inn. She has been there for five days. I should have gone to see her, but Masha here went, and she refuses to see any one. Some one told me she had been seen wandering in the fields a mile from here yesterday evening. MEDVIEDENKO. Yes, I saw her. She was walking away from here in the direction of the village. I asked her why she had not been to see us. She said she would come. TREPLIEFF. But she won't. [A pause] Her father and stepmother have disowned her. They have even put watchmen all around their estate to keep her away. [He goes with the doctor toward the desk] How easy it is, Doctor, to be a philosopher on paper, and how difficult in real life! SORIN. She was a beautiful girl. Even the State Councillor himself was in love with her for a time. DORN. You old Lovelace, you! SHAMRAEFF'S laugh is heard. PAULINA. They are coming back from the station. TREPLIEFF. Yes, I hear my mother's voice. ARKADINA and TRIGORIN come in, followed by SHAMRAEFF. |
