KATERINA.

VARVARA.
Why?

KATERINA.
I have been like that from my birth up, full of fire! I was only six years
old, when do you know what I did? They offended me somehow at home,--it
was in the evening and quite dark--I ran away to the Volga, and got into a
boat, and pushed it off from the bank. They found me next morning, ten
miles down the river.

VARVARA.
Really! And were there any men in love with you, as a girl?

KATERINA.
Of course there were!

VARVARA.
Well? And didn't you care for anyone?

KATERINA.
No, I only laughed at them.

VARVARA.
And you know, Katia, you don't love Tihon.
