F a m u s o v

About what, my dear ?

L i z i e

You ought to know for you're not a little one:

Young women's sleep is light at down,

They hear every whisper, a door creak, or a sigh,

They hear everything.

F a m u s o v

No, it's a lie.

S o f i a (her voice comes from her room)

Ah, Lizzie!

F a m u s o v (quickly)

Hush !

(Tiptoeing out of the room hurriedly)

L i z i e (alone in the room)

He's gone. Beware of masters, they

Will cause you trouble any day.

Of all the woes may God deliver us from both

From their love and their wrath.

Scene 3

Lizzie, Sofia candle in hand, followed by Molchalin.

S o f i a

What's up, Liz ? You're making such a noise . . .

F a m u s o v

No, do shut up!

The wretched times! You don't know what to open up !

I see nowadays

People grow wise before their years,

The daughters do, so do the old good men.

Who need the languages we learn ?

We hire tutors, resident or not,

That teach our daughters everything:

To court

And give a sigh, to sing and dance,

As if they wished to marry them to clowns.

You, visitor? Do you want anything ?

From a nowhere man in God forsaken Tver

I made you an assessor and a secretair .

Without me you would have surely been

A nobody. You, man without kith and kin !

S o f i a

I don't know why you should be angry, father .

He's living here, in this house. So what ?

He walked to one room and got into another.

F a m u s o v

He got where he wanted, did he not ?

Why is he here, uninvited?

S o f i a

Well . . . Listen . . . First I see

A fragrant meadow and then me

Looking for some kind of grass,

I don't remember which, alas.

Then comes a gentleman, one of those men

That make at once an old good friend.

A man so tactful, wise, as well as

Shy, you know those poor fellows.

F a m u s o v

Don't talk to me about the poor .

A poor man is not a match for you.

S o f i a

And then all vanishes: the meadows and the sky - likemagic !

We are in a room. It's dark. Then, just imagine:

Down goes the floor and you come up.

And now the door flies open with a bang,

And in burst monstrous creatures, like a gang.

They fall upon the man, they tear us apart,

I reach for him: he seems so dear to my heart,

You hold him back and take away with you,

And this to hooting, jeering, whistling - boo !

Then he starts shouting.

I woke up there . . . Someone was chatting.

It was your voice, yes, it was you.

So I rushed out to find that you were two.

S o f i a

A language mixture ?

C h a t s k y

Yes, at least of two.

S o f i a

To mix them into one the way you do ?

C h a t s k y

It sounds natural at least.

My word ! I'm extraordinarily pleased

To see you. Thus

I'm talkative. Taking my chance.

For this Molchalin you have time !

Where is he ? I suppose that I'm

No sillier than he. He still keeps

A seal of silence on his lips.

Or doesn't he ? He used to have a book

Where he would write

All latest songs that caught his sight.

He will get on in life anyway

For silent men are highly praised today.

S o f i a (to her side)

You viper !

(aloud and with ease)

May I ask ?

Have you by any chance, in sorrow or in joy,

Talked favourably of any one of us ?

Famusov, Chatsky (looks at the door through whichSofia left)

F a m u s o v Oh what a trick you've played ! You see,

For three long years we haven't heard from you,

And now you're here, out of the blue.

(they embrace)

Hallo, my friend, come, take your seat,

Let's have a chat a little bit.

You must have got a lot to say,

Tell us your stories without delay.

Well, Sofia Pavlovna has grown so pretty.

It is a pity

That all you see is a pretty face.

She must have dropped a casual phrase

Inspiring you with hopes, enchanting you . . .

C h a t s k y

I rarely nourish hopes. I hardly ever do.

F a m u s o v

"A dream of prophecy" the words fell on my ear.

You're thinking of . . .

C h a t s k y

Me ? I have no idea.

F a m u s o v

What did she dream of ? What is it ?

C h a t s k y

I don't interpret dreams.

F a m u s o v

No ! Don't believe her ! Not a bit !

C h a t s k y

I do believe my eyes. Upon my word !

She is like no one in the world,

A beauty from a fairy tale !

And

Everybody felt important then,

Your bow and scrape they would disdain.

A courtier was even better off,

He'd eat and drink what others didn't dream of.

My uncle, with his haughty temper , serious look,

Compared with him, what is a count or a duke ?

To please superiors he was happy,

He'd creep and crawl like a snake.

Once at a reception it so happened

That he fell down and nearly broke his neck.

The old man groaned in a husky voice

Which won him an imperial smile. Now !

Everybody laughed. What did he do ? He rose

And straightened up to make a bow.

Then suddenly he flopped. This time with aim,

Again a laughter. And a fall again.

Well, what do you think of it ? I think it's nice.

He hurt himself but he was quick to rise.

And ever since, like no one else,

In the royal house he was a welcome guest.

Maxim Petrovich ! A man of high esteem!

Maxim Petrovich! The life's mischievous pranks !

Who fixes pensions and gives people ranks ?

Maxim Petrovich ! Not one of you is a match for him !

He's coming now, sir. No more of you cheek.

He's a man of high respect,

Has grabbed a heap of orders, I should say,

He has a rank, as high as you would not expect,

He may be a general any day.

So please be modest when he's there.

Too bad, Alexander Andreyich, dear.

He often comes to see me - I don't care,

You know, I welcome anybody here.

In Moscow tongues are wagging. Well, for instance,

They say, he wants to marry Sofia. Its nonsense !

At heart he may be overjoyed enough,

But I do not intend to marry off

My daughter now, tomorrow or today,

She's too young. Though it's God's will anyway.

Don't argue in his presence, please,

And leave off joking, don't be a tease.

Where is he ? I presume,

He's waiting there in my room.

( hurries away)

He's timid. All such men are quiet,

He has a mystery of some kind.

Good knows what is it you've inspired

In him. Something he never had in mind.

Of all the merits, quite a few

He has inherited from you.

It isn't he who's sinful, it is you.

No, no, he may be wise and clever, too.

Is he a match for you? - that is the question.

As someone you grew up together with

A friend of yours, your nearest relation,

I want you to dispel my doubts, please,

So that I take the loss with ease.

I shall take care not to lose my mind,

I'll go away to fall in reverie

And never think of love. Yet I shall find

A way to having fun and making merry.

S o f i a (to herself)

To drive him mad I really did not intend.

( aloud )

Why on earth should I pretend ?

Molchalin could have lost his hand.

I helped him, you should understand,

You were there and you saw it too,

And it did not occur to you,

It was the gesture of a friend.

Though, maybe, you're right to some extent,

For him I may be biased,

Now tell me really,

Why should you talk so freely

Of your contempt for people, and never make disguise ?

You don't show mercy even to the humblest one.

You're always at it. Always joking, always having fun.

No matter who is mentioned during table-talks

Down on his head you hail your biting jokes.

C h a t s k y

My goodness ! Am I really the kind of man

Whose only aim of life is making fun ?

Meeting with funny people is adoring

Though for the most part I find them boring.

S o f i a

No, it does not apply to him.

Molchalin wouldn't really seem

To you so boring, if you knew him well.

C h a t s k y ( with passion )

Why did you get to know him well?

S o f i a

I never tried. It was the wish of God.

Just look how many friends he's got.

He's been in service for three years,

When father loses temper for no reason

Molchalin never takes offence.

He's kind and tries to do the pleasing.

And incidentally,

But I'm kind. That's why they like me.

I haven't heard of you since long ago.

You've joined a regiment, they say.

Are you familiar?

(Looking around to see Chatsky.)

The stubborn man. He's gone.

That's why I've lost so much. I've got my due.

All are apart! And all keep mute!

If someone leaves, the other follows suit.

First Chatsky vanished, then the colonel did.

What do you think of Chatsky?

R e p e t i l o v

He's man of wit. I met him now, there was a chat

About a vaudeville and that;

I liked the talk though nobody talked sense.

Chatsky and I... We are good friends.

And did you notice that

He's sort of mad?

Who knows? I'm scared to think

About one thing:

I'm afraid that Pavel Afanasich may

Take us by surprise some day.

He'll curse me! Fire me! I'll be frank: you see,

Sofia has nothing to adore her for .

I wish her well. She will stop loving me,

Like she's not in love with Chatsky any more.

I wish I cared half as much for her

As I do care for you, my dear .

Alas, no matter how I try to stir

My feelings - I cool down when I see Sofia.

S o f i a (to the side)

Oh what a wicked man!

C h a t s k y (from behind the column)

A scoundrel he is!

Aren't you ashamed?

I try to come to reason, But I can't,

I listen but I do not understand.

As if I needed further explanation,

I'm at a loss... I'm in expectation...

(Passionately)

I'm blind! I wanted a reward

For all my efforts !... I just rushed along.

I hurried here for I thought

That happiness was close, but I was wrong.

The kind of a choice you've made. My goodness !

You !

Just think of whom you have preferred me to !

Whom did I talk to, humbly, lovingly , to-day ?

Why did I waste my words of tenderness in such a way ?

Why did you inspire hope in me ?

Why didn't you tell me openly

That you had turned the past to fun

And that your memories ignore

All we had felt and said and done?

I'm still feeling as before.

And neither travels nor diversions

Have killed my tenderest emotions.

I lived with them through thick and thin.

If you had told me that you hated everything:
