Yes, it is time to go. Good-bye. I am afraid that that honest doctor of yours will have told Anna out of a sense of duty that I am here. Take my advice: go at once to your wife and stay with her. Stay, and stay, and stay, and if it should be for a year, you must still stay, or for ten years. It is your duty. You must repent, and ask her forgiveness, and weep. That is what you ought to do, and the great thing is not to forget to do right. (IVANOFF: Again I feel as if I were going crazy; again!) Well, heaven help you! You must forget me entirely. In two weeks you must send me a line and I shall be content with that. But I shall write to you-- BORKIN looks in at the door. (BORKIN: Ivanoff, may I come in? I beg your pardon, I did not see you. Bonjour!) (Embarrassed) How do you do?
