Repeat what you have said. NIKÍTA. Wait, sir, let me finish! AKÍM (with rapture) Speak, my son! Tell everything--you'll feel better! Confess to God, don't fear men! God--God! It is He! NIKÍTA. I poisoned the father, dog that I am, and I ruined the daughter! She was in my power, and I ruined her, and her baby! AKOULÍNA. True, that's true! NIKÍTA. I smothered the baby in the cellar with a board! I sat on it and smothered it--and its bones crunched! (Weeps) And I buried it! I did it, all alone! AKOULÍNA. He raves! I told him to! NIKÍTA. Don't shield me! I fear no one now! Forgive me, Christian Commune! (Bows to the ground). Silence.
