NATALYA STEPANOVNA wails.] NATALYA STEPANOVNA. What have they done to me! Fetch him back! Fetch him! [A pause.] [CHUBUKOV runs in.] CHUBUKOV. He's coming, and so on, devil take him! Ouf! Talk to him yourself; I don't want to. ... NATALYA STEPANOVNA. [Wails] Fetch him! CHUBUKOV. [Yells] He's coming, I tell you. Oh, what a burden, Lord, to be the father of a grown-up daughter!
