[III-12]

[Chekhov]

TRIGORIN: (after the others) I'll be right along - I can't find my walking stick.

(Nina enters.)

TRIGORIN: We're leaving.

NINA: I knew I'd see you again. Boris, I've made up my mind. I'm going on the stage. I'm leaving home tomorrow and not looking back. I'm going to Moscow, just like you. We can meet there, if you like.

TRIGORIN: Stay at the Hotel Slavyansky Bazaar. (He writes something down and gives it to Nina.) Get in touch with me as soon as you arrive. I have to go.

NINA: Please, just a minute more . . .

TRIGORIN: You're so beautiful - it makes me happy to know we'll see each other again. Your eyes, your smile, your face like the purest angel . . . oh my darling . . .

(They kiss deeply.)
