Leaving at once the keys and the drawers, he hastened to the corpse, seized the hatchet, and prepared to strike another blow at his victim, but he found there was no necessity to do so. Alena Ivanovna was dead beyond all doubt. Leaning over her again to examine her closer, Raskolnikoff saw that the skull was shattered.
It was due two days ago." "I will pay you the interest for another month; have a little patience." "I may have patience or I may sell your pledge at once, batuchka, just whichever I like." "What will you give me on this watch, Alena Ivanovna?" "That is a wretched thing, batuchka, worth a mere nothing.
The previous winter, a fellow student, Pokoreff by name, on leaving for Charkoff, had happened to communicate to him in conversation the address of Alena Ivanovna, in case he should ever require to pawn anything. For a long time he did not use it, as he was giving lessons, and managed somehow to get along, but six weeks before this time he had recollected the address.
Although I am disillusioned, Kseniya, I go on chopping firewood, heating the stove, living just to live. I read St. Francis d'Assisi, think about him, and grieve that such a life as his may not be lived again. I know he was absurd, but he had faith, And now Alena I love her, I shall love her for ever. I wish to feel God!"
Each couple is paired for the evening you will never see them change about. There is Alena Jasaityte, for instance, who has danced unending hours with Juozas Raczius, to whom she is engaged. Alena is the beauty of the evening, and she would be really beautiful if she were not so proud. She wears a white shirtwaist, which represents, perhaps, half a week's labor painting cans.
When Raskolnikoff recognized her he seemed struck with the greatest astonishment, although there was nothing strange about such a meeting. "You ought to decide yourself, Elizabeth Ivanovna," said the man. "Come to-morrow at seven o'clock." "To-morrow?" said Elizabeth slowly, as if undecided. "She is frightened of Alena Ivanovna," cried the wife, a brisk little woman.
But how did you know that he had pledged anything with Alena Ivanovna?" cried Razoumikhin. Porphyrius Petrovitch, without any further reply, said to Raskolnikoff: "Your things, a ring and a watch, were at her place, wrapped up in a piece of paper, and on this paper your name was legibly written in pencil, with the date of the day she had received these things from you."
"I have never made one without love. And I love only Alena. I must go." "Oh, what cruel, ascetical egoism!" she cried violently. Then suddenly all her rage died down, and she sat quietly in the chair, covering her face with her hands. Polunin stood by, his shoulders bowed, his arms hanging limply. His face betrayed grief and anxiety.
At home, Alena was already up and about; he embraced her fondly, clasped her in his arms, kissed her forehead; then he took up the infant and gazed lingeringly, with infinite tenderness, upon her innocent little face. The day was glorious; the golden sunlight streamed in through the windows in a shining cataract, betokening the advent of spring, and made pools of molten gold upon the floor.
A few days later, Raskolnikoff heard from his friend Razoumikhin that those who had borrowed money from Alena Ivanovna were going to the police office to redeem their pledges. He went with Razoumikhin to the office where they were received by Porphyrius Petrovitch, the examining magistrate, who seemed to have expected them. "You have been expecting this visit?
