VARVARA.
There's nothing to be frightened of! An old fool....

KATERINA.
I am afraid, terribly afraid! I seem to see her all the while before us.
[_Silence._

VARVARA (_looking round_).
I say, brother doesn't come, and yonder there's a storm coming up.

KATERINA (_in terror_).
A storm! Let us run home! Make haste!

VARVARA.
Why, are you crazy? How can you show yourself at home without my brother?

KATERINA.
No, let us go home! Never mind him!

VARVARA.
But why are you so awfully frightened? The storm's a long way off yet.

KATERINA.
If it's so far off, we'll wait then a little, if you like; but really it
would be better to go. Yes, we'd better go home.

VARVARA.
But if anything were to happen, you know, you'd be no safer at home.
