SCENE 2
Afrémov's sitting-room. Glasses of wine on the table. Afrémov,
Fédya, Stákhov (shaggy), Butkévich (close-shaven), and Korotkóv (a
tuft-hunter).
KOROTKÓV. And I tell you that he'll be out of the running! La Belle Bois
is the best horse in Europe.... Will you bet?
STÁKHOV. Don't, my dear fellow.... You know very well that nobody
believes you, or will bet with you.
KOROTKÓV. I tell you your Cartouche won't be in it!
AFRÉMOV. Stop quarrelling! Let me settle it ... ask Fédya--he'll give
you the right tip.
FÉDYA. Both horses are good. All depends on the jockey.
STÁKHOV. Gúsev is a rascal, and needs a firm hand on him.
KOROTKÓV [shouts] No!
FÉDYA. Wait a bit--I'll settle your differences.... Who won the Moscow
Derby?
