Popova’s late husband had owed Smirnov a large amount of money for oats, and Smirnov has pushed his way into Popova’s house and demanded she pay him his interest on the loan. Popova has said she will pay him the day after tomorrow, and they have argued. Smirnov has been shouting and stomping around the

room, while insulting women in general and Popova in particular. Pop-ova has finally gotten angry and is trying to get Smirnov out of the
