It was the same with Dmitri Prokofitch, who called here yesterday. I admit mine to be a caustic temperament, that mine is a horrid disposition, but that such a meaning could possibly be attributed to harmless remarks. He called here yesterday, when you had gone, and in the course of dinner he talked, talked. You had sent him, had you not? But do sit down, batuchka! do sit down, for heaven's sake!"
"Do you hear me, Porphyrius Petrovitch, I shall not permit this!" "But, goodness gracious! what on earth is wrong with you?" asked the magistrate, disturbed to all appearances. "Batuchka! Rodion Romanovitch! My good friend! What on earth is the matter with you?" "I will not permit it!" repeated Raskolnikoff once again. "Batuchka! not so loud, I must request!
Goodness me, batuchka! you know, perhaps as well as I do, what proofs are half one's time, proofs may be taken either way; and I, a magistrate, am, after all, only a man liable to error. "Now, what I want is to give to my investigation the precision of a mathematical demonstration I want my conclusions to be as plain, as indisputable, as that twice two are four. How is that?

Pray, therefore, once again sit down, batuchka! Try and recover your spirits you seem quite unhinged." Raskolnikoff rose while looking at him with an air full of contempt. "Tell me once for all," asked the latter, "tell me one way or other, whether I am in your opinion an object for suspicion?
"Pray, be seated, batuchka! But, perhaps, you don't like being called respectable? Therefore, batuchka, for short! Pray, don't think me familiar. Sit down here on the sofa." Raskolnikoff did so without taking his eyes off the judge. "These words 'in our latitudes, these excuses for his familiarity, this expression 'for short, what could be the meaning of all this?
There are no more great events in the world." "I tell you, there are great events," said the other, "wherever there are great men to do them." "You mean your friends?" asked Paul. "But no. Why should I ask! For great men would not spend their days in catching little fishes am I not right, batuchka?"
"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.
As for these duties of our office, these examinations, all this formality you yourself, you will remember, touched upon the topic just now, batuchka these examinations, and so forth, sometimes perplex the magistrate much more than the man under suspicion. You said as much just now with as much sense as accuracy." Yet, as far as our judicial customs go, I agree with you fully. Hah, hah!
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.
