THE SAME, ORLOVSKY AND VOYNITSKY

ORLOVSKY: Ducky, when are we going to have our lunch? It’s past two!

JULIE: Godpa dear, the Serebryakovs haven’t come yet!

ORLOVSKY: How long have we to wait then? I want to eat, my sweet. George, too, wants his lunch.

ZHELTOUKHIN (to VOYNITSKY): Are your people coming?

VOYNITSKY: When I left, Elena Andreyevna was dressing.

ZHELTOUKHIN: They’re coming for certain then?

VOYNITSKY: You can never be certain. Our general may suddenly imagine he has got an attack of the gout, or some other caprice — and then they will stop at home.

ZHELTOUKHIN: In that case let’s start. What’s the use of waiting? (Shouting) Ilya Ilyich! Serguey Nikodimych!

Enter DYADIN and two or three guests.
