From Ivanoff: A Play by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

I am hopelessly puzzled, and either my mind is going from old age or else you have all grown very clever, but I'll be hanged if I understand this business at all. Enter SHABELSKI. (SHABELSKI: Confound you all and myself, too! This is maddening!) What do you want? SHABELSKI Seriously, I must really do something horrid and rascally, so that not only I but everybody else will be disgusted by it. I certainly shall find something to do, upon my word I shall! I have already told Borkin to announce that I am to be married. (He laughs) Everybody is a scoundrel and I must be one too!
