ABSTRACT

Olga: Do you think we’ll ever see each other again? (pause)

Yes, yes. Of course. Don’t worry. (pause)

Things never work out the way we want them to. I didn’t want to be headmistress, but here I am. Headmistress. And of course I’ll never get to Moscow… (she sniffs and wipes her eyes) Why doesn’t that Masha hurry up…

Vershinin: Write me… don’t forget. Let me go, I’ve got to go…
