male · dramatic · 1:06 min

Oh, I'm all in a sweat. It's awfully hot! Will just cool myself a bit. (Stands puffing) The Lord only knows what--something is not right. I can't feel happy.--Well, it's the old woman's affair. Enter Matryóna from hut. MATRYÓNA. And I was just thinking, where's the father? Where's the father? And here you are, dear friend.... Well, dear friend, the Lord be thanked! Everything is as honourable as can be! When one's arranging a match one should not boast. And I have never learnt to boast. But as you've come about the right business, so with the Lord's help, you'll be grateful to me all your life! She's a wonderful girl! There's no other like her in all the district!
