Thank you; merci I mean. Noise and talk in the passage outside. AKULÍNA. Here's Michael, just in time for tea. MARTHA (rises) Oh, my goodness, Ignát is with him! That means he's drunk. Michael and Ignát stagger in. IGNÁT. How are you all? (Crosses himself before the icon) Here we are, damn you, just in time for tea. We went to church, service was done; we went to dine, all eaten and gone; to the pub, we went in, just time to begin. Ha, ha, ha! You give us some tea and we'll give you some vódka. That's fair. (Laughs).
