quarrelsome people and they quarrel over petty issues.
Lomov and Natalya start with the issue like a piece of land
that is situated at the border between the two neighbors’
properties. The discussion turns into a quarrel and the
marriage proposal is forgotten. They shout at each other.

of each other’s dogs. So, they drag their ancestors in their
