Closing her store.

You may. Sarah, if a customer comes, tell him that I will attend to business to-morrow again, otherwise he may think that my store is closed for good. Have you heard it? Ruzya died.

LITTLE GIRL.

Yes, he died. Is the musician going to play?

Anathema whispers to Sarah and puts something into her hand.

SARAH.

BEZKRAINY.

There is luck! Yesterday a chicken, to-day a rouble. Take it, Sonka.

CONTENTS

SARAH.

You are very rich, sir.
