"Yes, but I didn't know. I think, 'There, now, I have betrayed him. I walk and walk up and down from wall to wall, and cannot help thinking. I think, 'I have betrayed him. I lie down and cover myself up, and hear something whispering, 'Betrayed! betrayed Mitin! Mitin betrayed! I know it is an hallucination, but cannot help listening. I wish to fall asleep, I cannot.
The post he filled had been unmistakably very good five years ago, but it was so no longer. Petrov, the bank director, had twelve thousand; Sventitsky, a company director, had seventeen thousand; Mitin, who had founded a bank, received fifty thousand. "Clearly I've been napping, and they've overlooked me," Stepan Arkadyevitch thought about himself.
"'Anything you tell me, he said, 'can harm no one; on the contrary, if you tell me, we may be able to set free innocent people whom we may be uselessly tormenting. Well, I still said I would not tell. Then he said, 'All right, don't tell, but do not deny what I am going to say. And he named Mitin." "Don't talk about it," said the aunt.

I should like to relate it," said Shoustova, no longer smiling nor pulling her lock, but twisting it round her finger and getting redder. "Don't forget what happened yesterday when you began talking about it."
"Not at all -Leave me alone, mamma. I did not tell, I only kept quiet. When he examined me about Mitin and about aunt, I said nothing, and told him I would not answer." "Then this Petrov " "Petrov is a spy, a gendarme, and a blackguard," put in the aunt, to explain her niece's words to Nekhludoff. "Then he began persuading," continued Shoustova, excitedly and hurriedly.
A competent observer has noted that such terms as "meeting," "mass-meeting," "self-government," and "home-rule," had no equivalent in the Spanish language. The first of these terms, distorted into "mitin," is now in common use, and its origin is obvious.
