“Have pity on me!” Katya said, with bitter reproach, and she burst into tears. “Then you will come,” said Alyosha firmly, seeing her tears. “I’ll go and tell him you will come directly.” “No, don’t tell him so on any account,” cried Katya in alarm. “I will come, but don’t tell him beforehand, for perhaps I may go, but not go in.... I don’t know yet—” Her voice failed her. She gasped for breath.
“Now,” said the devil. “I know I’m going to do a foolish thing, but I cannot bear to see a clever, spirited young man throw himself away. I’ll make you another kind of offer. We don’t have any bargain at present, but I will push you on in the world for the next forty years.
Your face haunted my heart. ‘He despises me,’ I thought; ‘he won’t even look at me.’ And I felt it so much at last that I wondered at myself for being so frightened of a boy.

Now I’ll put a price on everything, so’s you won’t be bothered what to charge.
“The two midshipmen who have fallen were the seniors,” the lieutenant said, “and as you must be two or three years older than the others I’ll appoint you acting-lieutenant. Our first duty here will be to rig up a jury foremast. I’ll appoint you, however, temporary commander of the Camille, which is, I see, the name of our prize. I can only spare you forty men.
