Hi, Peter:
When I last taught this story, I was surprised by how many students in
the class read the story as a tale of true love -- Chekhov's prose has the
effect of the music that accompanies dialogue-less courtship in Hollywood
movies. So I suggested that two of the students read just the quoted
dialogue. Definitely worth trying...
