noticed him? And now he's mingling in with the best society. Why, he went so far as to invite me for dinner, for example. But what's so stupid is... that it never entered his mind how he's going to live with such a wife. Well, I hope she'll leave him soon and come back to live here. That's no good. With what means will my daughter and I live? This can be helped. A sympathetic assistance from a strong, rich man... If we could find such a man. You must do your best to find him. Yes, we must. Miss, your fiance has arrived! Ah, I got carried away, but that isn't the reason I came here. You should have a nice trousseau for Larissa Dmitrievna to wear. I mean a wedding dress and all that goes with it. You mustn't let her look like an ordinary girl. I want you to order everything from the best shop, whatever the cost. You can send me the bill. That's why I came here today. I just can't find words to thank you. No need to thank me. Please, I want to go to your country house right away. Why such a hurry? I want to get away from here. What makes you want it? Are you ashamed of me? So far you gave me no reason to be ashamed. Why hide from everyone then? I feel so happy! Give me a chance to enjoy the present situation. When will we go then? After the wedding. But the wedding is going to be here! I don't want people to say that I'm no match for you, but just a straw that a drowning persons catches at. Even if it's true? You can keep this truth to yourself. You might try working a little, you cow! Please, have pity on me. At least try to pretend in front of others that you love me. What for? I have some pride, you know. You care about yourself only. When will someone really love me? You are all going to destroy me. Come now, Larissa. What's wrong? I'm afraid of something. As long as we're having the wedding here, let it be as quiet as possible. No, you're going to shine as never before and everyone will see it. Yes. And I won't skimp on expenses. I'm a toy doll for you. You'll play with me and then throw me away. If you only knew how much this dinner's costing me. No one really cares about your dinner. - I do. - Why? Because I had to bear mockery from your friends for three years. It's my turn now to laugh at them. If you plan to start an argument, Larissa and I won't come. Please, don't offend anyone. There'll be no arguments. I will just propose a toast in your honor and thank you publicly for the happiness you're giving me by choosing me as your husband, for your appreciation of me and for believing in my sincerity. That will be my revenge. It doesn't make sense to me. Those fops and braggarts disgust me! You should have seen everyone in the city today! All the joy in their faces. All the coachmen have gone mad! Everyone is so happy! The Master has come! Waiters in the inns are beaming: The Master is here! The Gypsies are shouting: The Master is here! However, the "Master" is totally ruined, he sold his last ship. A squandering idler, a corrupt man! And the whole city rejoices! What insanity! Who are you talking about? Your Sergey Sergeyevich Paratov. I want to go to the country, right this minute. - Why are you afraid? - It's not for me I'm afraid. - Who then? - It's for you. Don't be afraid for me. I won't let myself be offended. I must go now, we have guests coming. I'll send the carriage to fetch you. Thank you for your purchase. The dealer said we could have the wine at ten kopecks a bottle and he'd stick any label we want. He gave us good wine too. It smells of cloves and something else... Get into the carriage. Oh, my dear friends! To the Ogoudalovs'! Ma'am, Sergey Sergeyevich Paratov! Mama, receive him here! Why are you so nervous? Please, get rid of him quickly. What a wonderful surprise! Why are you here? Just passing? No, I returned here on purpose. And my first visit is to you.
