"But pardon me, Victor Victorovitch. We know each other so little.... I don't see why you...." "Confidence," said Haldin. This word sealed Razumov's lips as if a hand had been clapped on his mouth. His brain seethed with arguments. "And so here you are," he muttered through his teeth. The other did not detect the tone of anger. Never suspected it. "Yes. And nobody knows I am here.
"Victor Victorovitch Haldin," he began again, "acting with, no doubt, noble-minded imprudence, took refuge with a certain student of whose opinions he knew nothing but what his own illusions suggested to his generous heart. It was an unwise display of confidence. But I am not here to appreciate the actions of Victor Haldin.
It has happened to me once to be talking to a man whose fate was affected by physical facts of that kind. And the man did not know it. Of course, it was a case of conscience, but the material facts such as these brought about the solution.... And you tell me, Victor Victorovitch, not to be anxious! Why! I am responsible for you," Razumov almost shrieked.
The General looked up at him thoughtfully, and Razumov grinned. All this went over the head of Prince K seated in a deep armchair, very tired and impatient.

The General shifted his position a little. "How is he dressed?
"I too, Victor Victorovitch, believe in this world of ours," he said with force. "I too, while I live.... But you seem determined to haunt it. You can't seriously...mean..." The voice of the motionless Haldin began "Haunt it! Truly, the oppressors of thought which quickens the world, the destroyers of souls which aspire to perfection of human dignity, they shall be haunted.
It was only when the figure advancing two paces asked in an untroubled, grave voice if the outer door was closed that he regained his power of speech. "Haldin!... Victor Victorovitch!... Is that you?... Yes. The outer door is shut all right. But this is indeed unexpected." Victor Haldin, a student older than most of his contemporaries at the University, was not one of the industrious set.
