ACT IV
IVANOFF
153
Ivanoff. Where shall we go? Wait a moment. I shall soon put an end to the whole thing. My youth is awake in me again; the former Ivanoff is here once more.
[He takes out a revolver.
Sasha. [Shrieking] I know what he wants to do! Nicholas, for God’s sake!
Ivanoff. I have been slipping down-hill long enough. Now, halt! It is time to know what honour is. Out of the way! Thank you, Sasha!
Sasha. [Shrieking] Nicholas! For God’s sake hold him!
Ivanoff. Let go! [He rushes aside, and shoots himself.
The curtain falls.
