Exeunt most of the gipsies. Some couples remain: Fédya with Másha,  
Afrémov with Kátya, and the officer with Gásha. The musician writes.  
A gipsy man strums a valse tune on the guitar.  
FÉDYA. But I'm married, and your choir won't allow it....  
MÁSHA. The choir is one thing, one's heart's another! I love those I  
love, and hate those I hate.  
FÉDYA. Ah! This is good! Isn't it?  
MÁSHA. Of course it's good--we've jolly visitors, and are all merry.  
Enter gipsy man.  
GIPSY [to Fédya] A gentleman is asking for you.  
FÉDYA. What gentleman?  
GIPSY. I don't know.... Well dressed, wears a sable overcoat--  
FÉDYA. A swell? Well, ask him in. [Exit Gipsy].  
AFRÉMOV. Who has come to see you here?  
FÉDYA. The devil knows! Who can want me?
