Let me say two words, Miss Sasha. I esteem Ivanoff, and have always found him an honourable man, but, between ourselves, I also consider him an adventurer. (SASHA: I congratulate you on your opinion!) In proof of its truth, permit me to present to you the following facts, as they were communicated to me by his secretary, or shall I say rather, by his factotum, Borkin. Two years ago, at the time of the cattle plague, he bought some cattle and had them insured-- (ZINAIDA: Yes, I remember hearing' of that.) He had them insured, as you understand, and then inoculated them with the disease and claimed the insurance.
