hanging on the wall�А�I suppose it is roasting hot in Africa now。 

    VOITSKI。 Yes�察�I suppose it is。 

    MARINA comes back carrying a tray on which are a glass of vodka 

and a piece of bread。 

    MARINA。 Help yourself。 

    ASTROFF drinks 

    MARINA。   To   your   good   health�   。�She   bows   deeply�А  �Eat   your   bread
