PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA and ANNA IVÁNOVNA

PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. Here are the keys of the tea cupboard. Go along and pour it out for the guests, and do everything that is necessary—you know yourself! I've walked my legs off! But you don't mind it; you're young yet—yes, go and serve them.

ANNA IVÁNOVNA. I'd just as soon as not. It's no great work; my hands won't wear out!

PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. There—there's the tea in the cupboard, in the little red caddy.

ANNA IVÁNOVNA unlocks the door and takes out the caddy. MÍTYA comes in.
