That's nice! And aren't my eyes dark? They are as dark as can be. What nonsense you talk! How can they be anything but dark when I always draw the queen of clubs. (MARYA: Why, mamma, you are more like the queen of hearts.) Nonsense! Perfect nonsense! I never was a queen of hearts. (She goes out hurriedly with Marya and speaks behind the scenes.) The ideas she gets into her head! Queen of hearts! Heavens! What do you think of that? As they go out, a door opens through which Mishka sweeps dirt on to the stage. Osip enters from another door with a valise on his head. SCENE IV Mishka and Osip.
