Church to know what is a sin and what is not.
BORÍS. Leave it to you? Are you not afraid to take so much sin upon
yourself?
PRIEST. What sin? Having been brought up firmly in the faith, and
having worked as a priest for thirty years, I can have no sins on my
shoulders.
BORÍS. Whose then is the sin, when you deceive such numbers of people?
What have these poor fellows got in their heads? [Points to Sentinel].
PRIEST. You and I, young man, will never settle that. It is for us to
obey those placed above us.
BORÍS. Leave me alone! I am sorry for you and--I confess--it disgusts me
to listen to you. Now if you were like that General--but you come here
with a cross and the Testament to persuade me in the name of Christ, to
deny Christ! Go [excitedly]. Leave me--Go. Let me be taken back to the
cell that I may not see anyone. I am tired, dreadfully tired!
PRIEST. Well, if that is so, good-bye.
Enter Adjutant.
ADJUTANT. Well?
