From The Storm by Aleksandr Nikolaevich Ostrovsky

male · defiant · 1:11 min

I've been so all day since the morning. (MME. KABANOVA: I suppose they've been asking for money.) As if they were in league together, damn them. One after another the whole day long they've been at me. (MME. KABANOVA: No doubt you'll have to give it them, or they wouldn't persist.) I know that; but what would you have me do, since I've a temper like that? Why, I know that I must pay, still I can't do it with a good will. You're a friend of mine, and I've to pay you something, and you come and ask me for it, I'm bound to swear at you! Pay I will, if pay I must, but I must swear too. For you've only to hint at money to me, and I feel hot all over in a minute; red-hot all over, and that's all about it. And to be sure at such times, I'd swear at anyone for nothing at all.
