"Though I do owe him a little," she went on, half meditative. "He was kind to me in the park. He was sorry for me. Think of it, and without admiring me. Other men have professed for poor Sonia Turgeinov a little interest or solicitude at divers times and places, but it has always been accompanied with something else.
So the man with the scar was one of McMurtrie's emissaries, after all, and his dealings with Mr. Bruce Latimer most certainly did concern me. The feeling that I was entangled in some unknown network of evil and mystery came back to me with redoubled force. "I hope the report was satisfactory," I said lightly. Sonia nodded. "They only wanted to make certain that you had gone to Edith Terrace.
One way or the other, if Sonia says so, we'll fly to the west out of his way. The dear, dear boy!" "He'll dear you after that scene!" "Now, do you make what attempts you may to find out where he keeps his money, he must have piles of it, and search his papers, his safe...."
She had the strange feeling of having once before gone through the same experience sat in the same place, surrounded by the same details, and watching Sonia pass carrying a tumbler. "Yes, it was exactly the same," she thought. "Sonia, what is this tune?" she said, playing a few notes. "What, are you there?" said Sonia, startled.
What can you do except take them to live with you?" "Oh, I don't know," cried Sonia, almost in despair, and she put her hands to her head. It was evident that that idea had very often occurred to her before and he had only roused it again. "And, what, if even now, while Katerina Ivanovna is alive, you get ill and are taken to the hospital, what will happen then?" he persisted pitilessly.
Lebeziatnikov too... hm.... All the trouble between him and Katerina Ivanovna was on Sonia's account. At first he was for making up to Sonia himself and then all of a sudden he stood on his dignity: 'how, said he, 'can a highly educated man like me live in the same rooms with a girl like that? And Katerina Ivanovna would not let it pass, she stood up for her... and so that's how it happened.
Very well, then! The day after to-morrow, which is the first of May, we will have a house-warming there." The seven had not asked for any further explanation, but had accompanied little Sonia, and were now ready to sit down to dinner under her presidency in the dining-room of the old castle, which was situated ten hours from Paris.
Sonia laughed softly. "The exact price we paid for them," she said, "was twelve thousand pounds." I sat up with a jerk. This time my surprise was utterly genuine. "You bought them!" I said incredulously. "Bought them from some one in the Admiralty?" Again Sonia shook her head. "Don't you remember what you read in the Daily Mail about the robbery at your offices in Victoria Street?"
"Why, I know, you gave your last penny yourself, though you'd seen nothing of it, and if you'd seen everything, oh dear! And how often, how often I've brought her to tears! Only last week! Yes, I! Only a week before his death. I was cruel! And how often I've done it! Ah, I've been wretched at the thought of it all day!" Sonia wrung her hands as she spoke at the pain of remembering it.
"And Pyotr Petrovitch is a contemptible slanderer," Dounia snapped out, suddenly. Pulcheria Alexandrovna was crushed; the conversation was not resumed. "I will tell you what I want with you," said Raskolnikov, drawing Razumihin to the window. "Then I will tell Katerina Ivanovna that you are coming," Sonia said hurriedly, preparing to depart. "One minute, Sofya Semyonovna. We have no secrets.
