I used to be in the service of the late Mr. Gaganov, and many's the time I've seen you, sir, with Varvara Petrovna at the late Avdotya Sergyevna's. I used to go to you with books from her, and twice I brought you Petersburg sweets from her...." "Why, yes, I remember you, Anisim," said Stepan Trofimovitch, smiling. "Do you live here?"
When Avdotya saw Akim, she went out of the room without a word, and Naum said that he had come for his master's gloves which the latter, he said, had left behind on the bench; and he, too, went away. We will now tell the reader what he has probably guessed already: Avdotya had fallen passionately in love with Naum.
Lizaveta Prohorovna, of course, had to sell your inn for reasons of her own but she will not forget you and will make up to you for it; she told me to tell Akim Semyonitch so. Where is he now?" Avdotya answered that when he met her he had been very unkind to her and had driven off to Yefrem's. "Oh, to that fellow's!" Kirillovna replied significantly.
Again all was silent; Raskolnikov was obstinately mute, Avdotya Romanovna was unwilling to open the conversation too soon. Razumihin had nothing to say, so Pulcheria Alexandrovna was anxious again. "Marfa Petrovna is dead, have you heard?" she began having recourse to her leading item of conversation. "To be sure, I heard so.
"You are quite right there. Hullo, I believe your husband has gone off with my horse," he added, hearing the rumble of the wheels. "He is a smart fellow!" "But it's robbery!" wailed Avdotya. "Why, it's our money, my husband's money and the inn is ours...." "No, Avdotya Arefyevna," Naum interrupted her, "the inn was not yours. What's the use of saying that?
And I will pull her out of the mud too, for she is a good girl, isn't she? So tell Avdotya Romanovna that that is how I am spending her ten thousand." "What is your motive for such benevolence?" asked Raskolnikov. "Ah! you sceptical person!" laughed Svidrigailov. "I told you I had no need of that money. Won't you admit that it's simply done from humanity?
"But I'll cut your throat, you villain, I'll cut your throat." "No, you won't do that, Avdotya Arefyevna; what's the use of talking like that? But I see I had better leave you for a time, for you are very much upset.... I'll say good-bye, but I shall be back to-morrow for certain.
Then she sat down to wait anxiously for Razumihin's return, timidly watching her daughter who walked up and down the room with her arms folded, lost in thought. This walking up and down when she was thinking was a habit of Avdotya Romanovna's and the mother was always afraid to break in on her daughter's mood at such moments.
But you must allow me to send my workmen here today," he added, while Avdotya went on repeating through her tears that she would cut his throat and her own. "Oh, and here they are," he observed, looking out of the window. "Or, God forbid, some mischief might happen.... It will be safer so.
He stared at Avdotya Romanovna without the least regard for good manners. They sometimes pulled their hands out of his huge bony paws, but far from noticing what was the matter, he drew them all the closer to him. If they'd told him to jump head foremost from the staircase, he would have done it without thought or hesitation in their service.
