Sergius : Louka! (she stops and looks defiantly at him)
A gentleman has no right to hurt a woman under any circumstances. [with profound humility, uncovering his head] I beg your pardon.
Louka : That sort of apology may satisfy a lady. Of what use is it to a servant?
Sergius : [rudely crossed in his chivalry, throws it off with a bitter laugh, and says slightingly) Oh! You wish to be paid for the hurt? [He puts on his shako, and takes some money from his pocket].
Louka : [her eyes filling with tears in spite of herself] No: I want my hurt made well.
Sergius : [sobered by her tone] How?
