FÉDYA. Who will be exiled?  
PETRÚSHIN. You and your wife.  
FÉDYA. And at best?  
PETRÚSHIN. Church penance, and of course annulment of the second  
marriage.  
FÉDYA. Then they will again tie me to her--or rather, her to me?  
PETRÚSHIN. Yes, that must be so. But don't excite yourself, and please  
say what I told you, and above all, don't say anything superfluous.  
However [noticing that a circle of listeners has formed round them] I am  
tired, and will go and sit down; and you'd better take a rest. The chief  
thing is, not to lose courage!  
FÉDYA. No other sentence is possible?  
PETRÚSHIN [going] No other.  
Enter Attendant.  
ATTENDANT. Pass on! Pass on! No loitering in the corridor!
