A coach rides up and Iwan gets out and tells [[Vorin]] to get him fresh horses.  Vorin tells him that he can't give him any horses as he has to keep them available for the Tsar's messengers.  Iwan shows him a piece of paper and Vorin calls for [[Golka]] to get some horses ready.  He has Dunia prepare some tea and she brings it out to Iwan.  Later, Iwan arrives and tells Vorin to prepare fresh horses for him.  He flirts with Dunia, and [[Count Minski]] overhears him and calls his flirting ill advised.  Iwan threatens to fight Minski until he finds out who he is.  Minski reads Iwan's letter and tells him to apologize to Vorin and Dunia.  Some time later, a coach rides up and Iwan tells Vorin to get him fresh horses.  Vorin calls for Dunia to make some tea and Golka sighs and tells Vorin that Dunia has gone to church.  Before he leaves, Golka tells Iwan that a new postmaster has been appointed, but he doesn't have the heart to tell Vorin.
