STARKÓVSKY. Lyúba, is that true?
LYÚBA. You wish me to say that I love you with that real love--but I
won't say it. I do love you with a different kind of love; but it is not
the real thing either! Neither the one nor the other is the real
thing--if only they could be mixed together!
STARKÓVSKY. No, no, I am satisfied with mine. [Kisses her hand] Lyúba!
LYÚBA [pushes him away] No, let us sort these things. They are beginning
to arrive.
Enter Princess with Tónya and a little girl.
LYÚBA. Mamma will be here in a moment.
PRINCESS. Are we the first?
STARKÓVSKY. Some one must be! I have suggested making a gutta-percha
dummy to be the first arrival!
Enter Styópa, also Ványa carrying the gum and pin-cushion.
STYÓPA. I expected to see you at the Italian opera last night.
