DOLOKHOV Wait, wait, wait! Where's the fur cloak?
I have heard what elopements are like She'll rush out more dead than alive Just in the things she's wearing If you delay at all, there'll be tears and 'Papa' and 'Mama' And she's frozen in a minute and must go back But you wrap the fur cloak round her And you carry her to the sleigh That's the way That's the way
ALL That's the way That's the way
BALAGA Let's get outta here! And the troika tore down Nikitski Boulevard Whoa! Giddyup, now! Whoa! Whoa!

DOLOKHOV When they reached the gate Dolokhov whistled The whistle was answered, and a maidservant ran out
MAIDSERVANT Come in through the courtyard or you'll be seen; she'll come out directly
DOLOKHOV Dolokhov stayed by the gate Anatole followed the maid into the courtyard Turned the corner, ran up to the porch
(Anatole is stopped by Marya D.)
MARYA D. You will not enter my house, scoundrel!
DOLOKHOV Anatole, come back! Betrayed! Betrayed! Betrayed, Anatole! Come back! Betrayed! Betrayed! Betrayed!
