Why, do you want him? (KATERINA: No, I only wondered, he has to start so soon.) He's sitting locked up with mamma. She's nagging away at him now. (KATERINA: What for?) For nothing at all, teaching him to mind what he's about. He'll be a fortnight away out of her sight! Only fancy! She has an uneasy inkling all the time that he'll enjoy himself when he's his own master. And so she's busy now laying all sorts of injunctions upon him, each more imperative than the last, and then she'll take him up to the holy picture and make him swear solemnly that he'll do everything exactly and precisely according to her bidding.
