17] Fixed idea.
LISA. No! Styópa. He did not say that! You know I was present. He says
that if you cannot avoid serving, you should go when you are called; but
that to volunteer, is to choose that kind of service of your own free
will.
STYÓPA. But it's I, not he, who is going to serve. He himself was in the
army!
LISA. Yes, but he does not exactly say that he will not give you the
money; but that he cannot take part in an affair that is contrary to his
convictions.
STYÓPA. Convictions have nothing to do with it. One must serve--and
that's all!
LISA. I only say what I heard.
STYÓPA. I know you always agree with Papa. Do you know, Aunt, that Lisa
takes Papa's side entirely in everything?
LISA. What is true ...
ALEXÁNDRA IVÁNOVNA. Don't I know that Lisa always takes up with any kind
of nonsense. She scents nonsense. Elle flaire cela de loin.[18]
