"Very well, then, keep it in mind; and now will you accept for the benefit of your relation the small sum that I am able to spare, from me personally. I am very anxious that my name should not be mentioned in connection with it. Here... having so to speak anxieties of my own, I cannot do more..." And Pyotr Petrovitch held out to Sonia a ten-rouble note carefully unfolded.
Even the baron did not see Darvid; he was searching for something in his pocketbook carefully, till he took out a ten-rouble note and threw it at the porters who had borne in the baggage and flowers of the primadonna. At the same time he cast these words through his teeth at them: "I have no small money!" Maryan, without rousing himself from thought, said, as if mechanically: "It is wonderful!"
It was only now that Nekhludoff noticed that her breath smelled of spirits, and that he understood the cause of her excitement. "Try and be calm," he said. "Why should I be calm?" she began, quickly, flushing scarlet. "I am a convict, and you are a gentleman and a prince. There's no need for you to soil yourself by touching me. You go to your princesses; my price is a ten-rouble note."
The Prefect of Police had an arm in a sling, but he was bright and shining as a new ten-rouble piece, while he, poor Rouletabille, was so abominably soiled and depressed. Where did he come from? Koupriane understood his look and smiled. "Well, I have just come from the Finland train; it is the best way." "But what can you have come here to do, Excellency?" "The same thing as you."
"I have taken nothing," Sonia whispered in terror, "you gave me ten roubles, here it is, take it." Sonia pulled her handkerchief out of her pocket, untied a corner of it, took out the ten-rouble note and gave it to Luzhin. "And the hundred roubles you do not confess to taking?" he insisted reproachfully, not taking the note. Sonia looked about her.
It's not the work of his hands. It's from on high, my dear; so it is. 'So you agree? I asked: 'when can I see your son? The old woman blinked again and shifted her rolled up handkerchief from one sleeve to the other. 'Oh, well, sir well, sir, I can't say. 'Allow me, Mastridia Karpovna, to hand you this, I interrupted, and I gave her a ten-rouble note.
"Let me kiss your hand," faltered the unknown, holding tight in the fingers of her left hand the corner of the ten-rouble note, which fluttered in the draught. Varvara Petrovna frowned slightly, and with a serious, almost severe, face held out her hand. The cripple kissed it with reverence. Her grateful eyes shone with positive ecstasy.
"Is that all you have come for?" said Varvara Petrovna, with a compassionate smile; but at once she drew her mother-of-pearl purse out of her pocket, took out a ten-rouble note and gave it to the unknown. The latter took it. Varvara Petrovna was much interested and evidently did not look upon her as an ordinary low-class beggar. "I say, she gave her ten roubles!" some one said in the crowd.
Je n'ai rien centre l'Evangile, and I've been wanting to re-read it for a long time...." The idea occurred to him at the moment that he had not read the gospel for thirty years at least, and at most had recalled some passages of it, seven years before, when reading Kenan's "Vie de Jesus." As he had no small change he pulled out his four ten-rouble notes all that he had.
The peasants had not in the slightest degree believed that the convicts were going to pay them, and their faces lighted up. They hesitated as to the price. "Come, I will give you ten roubles. I am sure that is more than they are worth to you now." "Very well," the man said, "I am contented." Godfrey placed a ten-rouble note upon the table. "Now," he said, "we want a couple of hats."
