From The Boor by Anton Tchekoff

male · comedic · 1:14 min

If Nikolai Michailovitch is indebted to you, I will of course pay you, but, I am sorry, I haven't the money to-day. To-morrow my manager will be back from the city and I shall notify him to pay you what is due you, but until then I cannot satisfy your request. Furthermore to-day it is just seven months since the death of my husband and I am not in the mood to discuss money matters. Day after to-morrow you will receive the money. I'm sorry I can't pay you to-day. But what can I do if I haven't it? I cannot. My last. Absolutely. I thought I made it plain to you that my manager will return from town and then you will get your money? Really, sir, I am neither used to such language nor such manners. I shan't listen to you any further.
