Rodion, who always understood everything that was said to him in some peculiar way of his own, heaved a sigh and said: "We must pay. 'Repay in coin, my friends'... he said." They walked to the village in silence. On reaching home Rodion said his prayer, took off his boots, and sat down on the bench beside his wife.
"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!
All the muscles of his face were slightly convulsed. "Why, I see your lips tremble just as they did the other day," observed Porphyrius Petrovitch, with an air of interest. "You have not, I think, thoroughly realized the object of my visit, Rodion Romanovitch," he pursued, after a moment's silence, "hence your great astonishment.
I say my prayers to myself as I am a big girl now, but Kolya and Lida say them aloud with mother. First they repeat the 'Ave Maria' and then another prayer: 'Lord, forgive and bless sister Sonia, and then another, 'Lord, forgive and bless our second father. For our elder father is dead and this is another one, but we do pray for the other as well." "Polenka, my name is Rodion.
You said yesterday you were not delirious, you were particularly emphatic about it! I understand all you can tell me! A-ach!... Listen, Rodion Romanovitch, my dear fellow. If you were actually a criminal, or were somehow mixed up in this damnable business, would you insist that you were not delirious but in full possession of your faculties? And so emphatically and persistently?
The examining magistrate sank back in his chair as though astonished at such a question. "Who committed the murder?" he retorted, as if he could not believe his own ears. "Why, you you did, Rodion Romanovitch! You! " he added, almost in a whisper, and in a tone of profound conviction. Raskolnikoff suddenly rose, waited for a few moments, and sat down again, without uttering a single word.
Judge, therefore: whatever you purpose doing is not of much importance to me just now; all I say and have said has been solely done for your interest. The best alternative is the one I suggest, you may depend on it, Rodion Romanovitch! When I shall have had you arrested at the expiration of a month or two, or even three, if you like you will remember my words, and you will confess.
Well, let me tell you this, Rodion Romanovitch, I don't consider it necessary to justify myself, but kindly tell me what was there particularly criminal on my part in all this business, speaking without prejudice, with common sense?" Raskolnikov continued to look at him in silence. "That in my own house I persecuted a defenceless girl and 'insulted her with my infamous proposals' is that it?
Volodka jumped down off the stove and began looking for his cap. "Don't go, Volodka," said Rodion diffidently. "Don't go with them, son. You are foolish, like a little child; they will teach you no good; don't go!" "Don't go, son," said Stepanida, and she blinked as though about to shed tears. "I bet they are calling you to the tavern." "'To the tavern," Volodka mimicked.
"You did not expect visitors, Rodion Romanovitch?" said Porphyrius, smiling graciously. "I have called just to clear things up a bit.
