And it's no good your being so close with me! I noticed a long while ago, that you were fond of some one. KATERINA (_with dismay_). How did you notice it? VARVARA. How absurd you are! I'm not a baby! Well, I'll tell you the first sign I knew by; directly you see him, your whole face is transformed. (_Katerina drops her eyes._) And that's not all.... KATERINA (_still looking down_). Well, whom then? VARVARA. Why, you know, what's the use of telling his name? KATERINA. No, tell it! Tell his name! VARVARA. Boris Grigoritch. KATERINA. |
