Nicholas and Alexandra1971

Rasputin:
Batushka Tsar.

[Rasputin bows to the Tsar, who nods his head in return]

Rasputin:
Matushka, why are you afraid?

Tsaritsa Alexandra:
Why am I what?!

Rasputin:
I think you are frightened. Strangers frighten you. There was a case back in Pokrovskoe. That is my home; it is a little village in Siberia. There was a woman who was so frightened of strangers that she bought herself a pinewood box and lived in it. One day her husband buried the box with her in it. "Ivan, don't!", she cried. Her husband responded "I only want to make you happy". She said "I know, I know. But Heaven is full of strangers. Let me out!"
