Excerpt: ...you are! You're even lovelier than you used to be. TATYANA. Let that be a secret. Good-by. Come on, Lusha! LUKERYA. Approaching Good-by! Good night, pleasant dreams-of plucking roses, of watering jasmine! Going But what a man you are! Oh, oh, oh! He's clever, I must say! I just looked and wondered. They go out. BABAYEV.
