Excerpt from The People's Library of International Dramas: A Bear Mme. Popova I beg you not to talk to me like that any more. You know that since I lost my dear husband, life has no more charm for me. You think I am alive, but you are mistaken. I have sworn never to take off my mourning till I die, and never to receive a visitor again. You understand what I say? I want his spirit to see how I love him. Yes, I know that you know how unjust he often was to me, cruel and even false. But I shall be faithful to him till death, and I shall prove to him how much I can love. And when we meet in the next world, he shall find me just as he left me when he died. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
