No, no! I want to hear no more. You have come to torment me. Only say what you want of me, anything, and I will do it, if you will leave me in peace. (Sasha: I want food and clothing; I want shelter; I must have money.) You will go if I give you money? Yes? Say that you will go, far, far away, and never come back to tell lies.... But I have no money to give; I am a poor woman. (Sasha: Come, what's all this?) No, no! I need it; I can't spare it. What I have I have starved myself to get. Two roubles, five roubles, even ten roubles I will give you, if you will go far, far away.... Fomá. Before he can travel we must bribe some peasant to lend him his passport.
