FATHER GERÁSIM. Please go on, it is very pleasant.
The Princess approaches to receive his blessing, and the young
Priest does the same.
ALEXÁNDRA IVÁNOVNA. I have done exactly what I said I would do. I found
Father Gerásim, and you see I have persuaded him to come--he was on his
way to Koursk--so I have done my part; and here is the Notary. He has
got the deed ready; it only needs signing.
MARY IVÁNOVNA. Won't you have some lunch?
Notary puts down his papers on the table, and exit.
MARY IVÁNOVNA. I am very grateful to Father Gerásim.
FATHER GERÁSIM. What else could I do--though it was out of my way--yet
as a Christian I considered it my duty to visit him.
Alexándra Ivánovna whispers to the young people. They consult
together and go out on to the verandah, all except Borís. The young
Priest also wants to go.
FATHER GERÁSIM.[30] No. You as a pastor and spiritual father must remain
here! You may benefit by it yourself, and may be of use to others. Stay
