    MME。 VOITSKAYA。 ��Sternly�А�Jean� �

     TELEGIN。   ��Agitated�А  �Vanya�察  �old   man�察  �don't   talk   in   that   way。   Why 

spoil such pleasant relations�拭。�He embraces him�А�Do stop� �

       VOITSKI。   For   twenty´five   years   I   have   been   sitting   here   with   my 

mother   like   a   mole   in   a burrow。  Our   every  thought   and hope   was   yours 

and yours only。 By day we talked with pride of you and your work�察�and 

spoke your name with veneration�察�our nights we wasted reading the books 

and papers which my soul now loathes。 

       TELEGIN。 D on't�察�Vanya�察�don't。 I can't stand it。 

       SEREBRAKOFF。           ��Wrathfully�А   �What    under   heaven    do  you   want�察�

anyway�拭�

       VOITSKI。 We used to think of you as almost superhuman�察�but now 

the scales have fallen from my eyes and I see you as you are� �You write on 

art without knowing anything about it。 Those books of yours which I used 

to admire are not worth one copper kopeck。 You are a hoax� �

     SEREBRAKOFF。 Can't any one make him stop�拭�I am going� �

    HELENA。 Ivan�察�I command you to stop this instant� �Do you hear me�拭�

    VOITSKI。 I refuse� 。�SEREBRAKOFF tries to get out of the room�察�but 

VOITSKI bars the door�А�Wait� �I have not done yet� �You have wrecked my 

life。 I have never lived。 My best years have gone for nothing�察�have been 

ruined�察�thanks to you。 You are my most bitter enemy� �

     TELEGIN。 I can't stand it�察�I can't stand it。 I am going。 ��He goes out in 

great excitement。�А�

     SEREBRAKOFF。 But what do you want�拭�What earthly right have you 

to use such language to me�拭�Ruination� �If this estate is yours�察�then take it�察�

and let me be ruined� �

     HELENA。 I am going away out of this hell this minute。 ��Shrieks�А�This 

is too much� �

     VOITSKI。 My life has been a failure。 I am clever and brave and strong。 

If I had lived a normal life I might have become another Schopenhauer or 

Dostoieffski。   I   am   losing   my   head�   �I   am   going   crazy�   �Mother�察  �I   am   in 

despair� �Oh�察�mother� �

     MME。 VOITSKAYA。 ��Sternly�А�Listen�察�Alexander� �

     SONIA falls on her knees beside the nurse and nestles against her。 

     SONIA。 Oh�察�nurse�察�nurse� �

     VOITSKI。 Mother� �What shall I do�拭�But no�察�don't speak� �I know what 

to do。 ��To SEREBRAKOFF�А�And you will understand me� �

     He   goes   out   through   the   door   in   the   centre   of   the   room   and   MME。 

VOITSKAYA follows him。 

     SEREBRAKOFF。   Tell   me�察          �what   on   earth  is   the  matter�拭 �Take   this 

lunatic out of my sight� �I cannot possibly live under the same roof with 

him。 His room ��He points to the centre door�А�is almost next door to mine。 

Let him take himself off into the village or into the wing of the house�察�or I 

shall leave here at once。 I cannot stay in the same house with him。 

     HELENA。 ��To her husband�А�We are leaving to´day�察�we must get ready 

at once for our departure。 

     SEREBRAKOFF。 What a perfectly dreadful man� �

     SONIA。 ��On her knees beside the nurse and turning to her father。 She 

speaks with emotion�А�You must be kind to us�察�papa。 Uncle Vanya and I are 

so   unhappy�   。�Controlling   her   despair�А  �Have   pity   on   us。   Remember   how 

Uncle Vanya and Granny used to copy and translate your books for you 

every  nightevery�察  �every  night。   Uncle Vanya   has   toiled   without   rest�察  �he 

would never spend a penny on us�察�we sent it all to you。 We have not eaten 

the bread of idleness。 I am not saying this as I should like to�察�but you must 

understand us�察�papa�察�you must be merciful to us。

    HELENA。 ��Very exited�察�to her husband�А�For heaven's sake�察�Alexander�察�

go and have a talk with himexplain� �

     SEREBRAKOFF。 Very well�察�I shall have a talk with him�察�but I won't 

apologise for a thing。 I am not angry with him�察�but you must confess that 

his behaviour has been strange�察�to say the least。 Excuse me�察�I shall go to 

him。 

     ��He goes out through the centre door。�А�

    HELENA。 Be gentle with him�察�try to quiet him。 ��She follows him out。�А�

     SONIA。 ��Nestling nearer to MARINA�А�Nurse�察�oh�察�nurse� �

    MARINA。 It's all right�察�my baby。 When the geese have cackled they 

will be still again。 First they cackle and then they stop。 

     SONIA。 Nurse� �

    MARINA。 You are trembling all over�察�as if you were freezing。 There�察�

there�察�little orphan baby�察�God is merciful。 A little linden´tea�察�and it will all 

pass   away。   Don't   cry�察  �my   sweetest。   ��Looking   angrily   at   the   door   in   the 

centre of the room�А�See�察�the geese have all gone now。 The devil take them� �

    A    shot   is  heard。   HELENA       screams    behind    the   scenes。   SONIA 

shudders。 

    MARINA。 Bang� �What's that�拭�

     SEREBRAKOFF。 ��Comes in reeling with terror�А�Hold him� �hold him� �

He has gone mad� �

    HELENA and VOITSKI are seen struggling in the doorway。 

    HELENA。 ��Trying to wrest the revolver from him�А�Give it to me�察�give 

it to me�察�I tell you� �

    VOITSKI。 Let me go�察�Helena�察�let me go� 。�He frees himself and rushes 

in�察�looking everywhere for SEREBRAKOFF�А�Where is he�拭�Ah�察�there he is� �

��He shoots at him。 A pause�А�I didn't get him�拭�I missed again�拭。�Furiously�А�

Damnation� �Damnation� �To hell with him� �

    He   flings   the   revolver   on   the   floor�察  �and   drops   helpless   into   a   chair。 

SEREBRAKOFF stands as if stupefied。 HELENA leans against the wall�察�

almost fainting。 

    HELENA。 Take me away� �Take me away� �I can't stay hereI can't� �

    VOITSKI。 ��In despair�А�Oh�察�what shall I do�拭�What shall I do�拭�

     SONIA。 ��Softly�А�Oh�察�nurse�察�nurse� �

     VOITSKI'S bedroom�察�which is also his office。 A table stands near the 

window�察�on it are ledgers�察�letter scales�察�and papers of every  description。 

Near by stands a smaller table belonging to ASTROFF�察�with his paints and 

drawing materials。 On the wall hangs a cage containing a starling。 There is 

also a map of Africa on the wall�察�obviously of no use to anybody。 There is 

a large sofa covered with buckram。 A door to the left leads into an inner 

room�察�one to the right leads into the front hall�察�and before this door lies a 

mat for the peasants with their muddy boots to stand on。 It is an autumn 

evening。   The   silence   is   profound。   TELEGIN   and   MARINA   are   sitting 

facing one another�察�winding wool。 

     TELEGIN。 Be quick�察�Marina�察�or we shall be called away to say good´ 

bye before you have finished。 The carriage has already been ordered。 

     MARINA。 ��Trying to wind more quickly�А�I am a little tired。 

     TELEGIN。 They are going to Kharkoff to live。 

     MARINA。 They do well to go。 

     TELEGIN。 They have been frightened。 The professor's wife won't stay 

here   an   hour   longer。   ;If   we   are   going   at   all�察  �let's   be   off�察─  �says   she�察   �we 

shall   go   to   Kharkoff   and   look   about   us�察  �and   then   we   can   send   for   our 

things。; They are travelling light。 It seems�察�Marina�察�that fate has decreed 

for them not to live here。 

     MARINA。 And   quite   rightly。   What   a   storm   they   have   just   raised�   �It 

was shameful� �

     TELEGIN。        It  was  indeed。    The   scene   was    worthy   of   the  brush   of 

Aibazofski。 

     MARINA。 I wish I'd never laid eyes on them。 ��A pause�А�Now we shall 

have things as they were again�此�tea at eight�察�dinner at one�察�and supper in 

the evening�察�everything in order as decent folks�察�as Christians like to have 

it。 ��Sighs�А�It is a long time since I have eaten noodles。 

     TELEGIN。 Yes�察  �we   haven't   had   noodles   for   ages。   ��A  pause�А  �Not   for 

ages。 As I was going through the village this morning�察�Marina�察�one of the 

shop´keepers called after me�察 �Hi� �you hanger´on� ─�I felt it bitterly。 

     MARINA。   Don't   pay   the   least   attention   to   them�察  �master�察  �we   are   all

dependents on God。 You and Sonia and all of us。 Every one must work�察�no 

one can sit idle。 Where is Sonia�拭�

     TELEGIN。 In the garden with the doctor�察�looking for Ivan。 They fear 

he may lay violent hands on himself。 

     MARINA。 Where is his pistol�拭�

     TELEGIN。 ��Whispers�А�I hid it in the cellar。 

     VOITSKI and ASTROFF come in。 

     VOITSKI。 Leave me alone� 。�To MARINA and TELEGIN�А�Go away� �

Go   away   and   leave   me   to   myself�察  �if   but   for   an   hour。   I   won't   have   you 

watching me like this� �

     TELEGIN。 Yes�察�yes�察�Vanya。 ��He goes out on tiptoe。�А�

     MARINA。 The gander cackles�察�ho� �ho� �ho� �

     ��She gathers up her wool and goes out。�А�

     VOITSKI。 Leave me by myself� �

     ASTROFF。 I would�察�with the greatest pleasure。 I ought to have gone 

long   ago�察  �but   I   shan't   leave   you   until   you   have   returned   what   you   took 

from me。 

     VOITSKI。 I took nothing from you。 

     ASTROFF。 I am not jesting�察�don't detain me�察�I really must go。 

     VOITSKI。 I took nothing of yours。 

     ASTROFF。 You didn't�拭�Very well�察�I shall have to wait a little longer�察�

and then you will have to forgive me if I resort to force。 We shall have to 

bind you and search you。 I mean what I say。 

     VOITSKI。   Do   as   you   please。   ��A  pause�А  �Oh�察  �to   make   such   a   fool   of 

myself�  �
