I called on you a month ago," said the visitor, hurriedly, with a slight bow. He had suddenly remembered that he must make himself more agreeable. "I remember, batuchka, I remember it well," returned the old woman, still fixing her eyes on him suspiciously. "Well, then, look here.
The matter is not of such importance after all. On the contrary, I am delighted at your visit for as such do I take your call. As for my horrid way of laughing, batuchka, Rodion Romanovitch, I must apologize. I am a nervous man, and the shrewdness of your observations has tickled me. There are times when I go up and down like an elastic ball, and that for half an hour at a time.
You must know that all these professional obligations don't be vexed, batuchka, if you see me walking about like this, I am sure you will excuse me, if I tell you how anxious I am not to do so, but movement is so indispensable to me! I am always seated and, to me, it is quite a luxury to be able to move about for a minute or two. I purpose, in fact, to go through a course of calisthenics.

"I thought he was Russian," Paul nodded to himself, catching a word here and there; and, aloud, he quietly added in his mother's tongue, "It's all right, batuchka; you don't have to change."
I am fond of laughter. My temperament leads me to dread apoplexy. But, pray, do sit down why remain standing? Do, I must request you, batuchka; otherwise I shall fancy that you are cross." His brows still knit, Raskolnikoff held his tongue, listened, and watched. In the meanwhile he sat down.
"Perhaps I may be bringing you some other article soon, Alena Ivanovna, a very pretty cigar case a silver one when I get it back from the friend to whom I have lent it." These words were uttered with much embarrassment. "Well, we can talk about it then, batuchka." "Good-by.
