“Borис… She never liked him for the fact that he married a noblewoman. That’s why, on this occasion, they lived in Moscow—father with mother. Mother said that she couldn’t get along with her relatives for three days; it all seemed so strange to her. Kuligin… Of course it felt strange! What else to say? You need, sir, to have a big habit. Boris… Our parents raised us well in Moscow; nothing was spared for us. Me they sent to the Commercial Academy, and my sister to a boarding school—but both of us suddenly died of cholera, and we were left orphans. Later we hear that grandmother too has died here and left a will, so that Uncle would pay us a part of what is due when we come of age—only with one condition. Kuligin… With what condition, sir? Boris… If we are respectful to him. Kuligin… That means, sir, you’ll never see your inheritance. Boris… No, Kuligin, that’s not enough! First he will break us in every way, humiliate us as he pleases, and then he will end up giving us nothing at all—or giving only some pittance. And he’ll also tell us that he did it out of mercy—though that would not be advisable either.”
