VERA

Are you afraid he is lying in wait for you?

TROSHCHEYKIN

Oh, I have no doubt that he is waiting somewhere nearby for the right moment....

VERA

...At the time you calmly foresaw everything, and insisted that you didn’t bear him any grudge, that one day you would be drinking to eternal friendship together. In short, you were all meekness and magnanimity.

TROSHCHEYKIN

I don’t remember that. On the contrary, not a day has passed that I haven’t been tormented by the thought of his return. You think I haven’t been preparing to leave? But how could I foresee that they would all of a sudden pardon him? Tell me, how could I? In a couple of months I would have had my show.... And besides, I’m expecting certain letters.... In a year we could have moved away....Forever, of course!

(Lyubov ’ returns.)
