PRIEST. Great obstinacy, great insubordination.
ADJUTANT. So he has refused to take the oath and to serve?
PRIEST. On no account will he.
ADJUTANT. Then he must be taken to the hospital.
PRIEST. And reported as ill? That no doubt would be better, or his
example may lead others astray.
ADJUTANT. To be put under observation in the ward for the mentally
diseased. Those are my orders.
PRIEST. Certainly. My respects to you. [Exit].
ADJUTANT [approaches Borís] Come, please. My orders are to conduct
you----
BORÍS. Where to?
ADJUTANT. First of all to the hospital, where it will be quieter for
you, and where you will have time to think things over.
BORÍS. I've thought them over long ago. But let us go! [Exeunt].
