From The Storm by Aleksandr Nikolaevich Ostrovsky

And I'd no intention of speaking about you at all, but it happened to come up. (KATERINA: Even so, why need you attack me?) My, what a stuck-up thing she is! Here she's in a huff directly! (KATERINA: No one likes to put up with unjust blame.) I know, I know my words are not to your liking, but that can't be helped. I'm not a stranger to you, it makes my heart grieve to see you. I've seen for a long time past that you want your own way. Well, well, you've only to wait a bit, you'll have it all your own way when I'm dead and gone. Then to be sure you can do as you please, there'll be no elders then to look after you. And, maybe, you will think of me then.
