Vania Kudriash Monologue from The Storm

From The Storm by Aleksandr Nikolaevich Ostrovsky

No, Boris Grigoritch, you're here, I perceive, for the first time, but this is a place where I have often sat, and this little path has been trodden by my feet. I like you, sir, and am ready to do you any service; but you'll kindly refrain from meeting me in this path at night, lest evil come of it. Fair words are better than gold. (BORIS: What is the matter with you, Vania?) Vania, indeed! I know my name's Vania. But you go on your way, that's all about it. Find a girl to your liking, and walk out with her to your heart's content, and no one will say a word to you. But don't meddle with other fellows' girls! That's not the way we do things here, or the fellows will break your legs for you. For my girl... Well, I don't know what I wouldn't do! I'd cut your throat!
