BORIS, KULIGIN and VARVARA.

Kuligin. I'll go to the parade, sir. I'm in your way. I'll wait for you there.

Boris. Very well, I'll come directly.

Varvara. (_hiding her face in her kerchief_) Do you know the hollow behind the Kabanovs' garden?

Boris. Yes.

Varvara. You come there a little later on.

Boris. What for?

Varvara. How stupid you are! Come; then you'll see what for. Well, you'd better make haste now, since that person's waiting for you. (_Boris goes_.) There, he didn't know me! Well, now let him wonder, I know very well that Katerina won't hold out, she'll run out to see him. [_Goes in at the gate. Curtain_.
