Enter Nurse.
NURSE. Will you please come. Little Nicholas has woke up and is crying
for you.
MARY IVÁNOVNA. Directly! When I am excited he gets stomach ache. Coming,
coming!
Nicholas Ivánovich enters by another door, with a paper in his hand.
NICHOLAS IVÁNOVICH. No, this is impossible!
MARY IVÁNOVNA. What has happened?
NICHOLAS IVÁNOVICH. Why, Peter is to be imprisoned on account of some
wretched pine-trees of ours.
MARY IVÁNOVNA. How's that?
NICHOLAS IVÁNOVICH. Quite simply! He cut it down, and they informed the
Justice of Peace, and he has sentenced him to three months'
imprisonment. His wife has come about it.
MARY IVÁNOVNA. Well, and can't anything be done?
