Well, we can try! GENERAL (getting irritable) No need to try! I don't need to try! I have served the Tsar for forty-four years, I have given and am giving my life to the service, and now this fellow wants to teach me and wants to read me theological lectures! Let him take that to the Priest, but to me--he is either a soldier or a prisoner. That's all! Enter Borís guarded by two Soldiers and followed by Adjutant and Clerk. GENERAL (pointing with a finger) Place him there. BORÍS. I need no placing. I shall stand or sit where I like, for I do not recognise your authority.
