TELEGIN: They got frightened… Yelena Andreyevna was saying, 'I don't want to live here one single hour more… let's just go… We'll stay a while in Kharkov,' she said, 'and take stock, and then send for our things…' They're leaving with no luggage. (4.18-23)
Homelessness sets in for Yelena and Serebryakov at the end of the play. Yelena is so upset by the insanity of the household that she is willing to leave without her suitcase, going where she has nowhere to stay, rather than be in the country house one minute more.
