Well, Daddy Akím, how's it to be? AKÍM (looks at his son, clicking his tongue disapprovingly) Mind, Nikíta, the tears of one that's been wronged never, what d'you call it--never fall beside the mark but always on, what's name--the head of the man as did the wrong. So mind, don't what d'you call it. NIKÍTA (sits down) What's there to mind? mind yourself. NAN (aside) I must run and tell mother. (Exit). MATRYÓNA (to Peter) That's always the way with this old mumbler of mine, Peter Ignátitch. Once he's got anything wedged in his pate there's no knocking it out. We've gone and troubled you all for nothing. The lad can go on living as he has been. Keep him; he's your servant.
