Часть текста: momentous resolve. His calmness, however, was more apparent than real. He was courteous, but there was a suggestion of injured innocence in his manner. "I've brought your book back," he began, indicating a book lying on the table. "Much obliged to you for lending it to me." "Ah, yes. Well, did you read it, general? It's curious, isn't it?" said the prince, delighted to be able to open up conversation upon an outside subject. "Curious enough, yes, but crude, and of course dreadful nonsense; probably the man lies in every other sentence." The general spoke with considerable confidence, and dragged his words out with a conceited drawl. "Oh, but it's only the simple tale of an old soldier who saw the French enter Moscow. Some of his remarks were wonderfully interesting. Remarks of an eye-witness are always valuable, whoever he be, don't you think so "Had I been the publisher I should not have printed it. As to the evidence of eye-witnesses, in these days people prefer impudent lies to the stories of men of worth and long service. I know of some notes of the ...

Часть текста: de la casa, que estaba de pie en medio del despacho, mirándolos con expresión interrogadora, y cambió con él un apretón de manos. Pareciendo todavía que hacía un violento esfuerzo para no echarse a reír, dijo quién era y cómo se llamaba. Pero apenas se había mantenido serio mientras murmuraba algunas palabras, sus ojos miraron casualmente a Rasumikhine. Entonces ya no pudo contenerse y lanzó una carcajada que, por efecto de la anterior represión, resultó más estrepitosa que las precedentes. El extraordinario furor que esta risa loca despertó en Rasumikhine prestó, sin que éste lo advirtiera, un buen servicio a Raskolnikof. -Demonio de hombre! -gruñó Rasumikhine, con un ademán tan violento que dio un involuntario manotazo a un velador sobre el que había un vaso de té vacío. Por efecto del golpe, todo rodó por el suelo...

Часть текста: él, trataba de apartarla de su pensamiento. Cuando se había dicho, al salir de casa de Catalina Ivanovna: " Vamos a ver qué dice ahora Sonia Simonovna", se hallaba todavía bajo los efectos del ardoroso y retador entusiasmo que le había producido su victoria sobre Lujine. Pero --cosa singular- cuando llegó al departamento de Kapernaumof, esta entereza de ánimo le abandonó de súbito y se sintió débil y atemorizado. Vacilando, se detuvo ante la puerta y se preguntó: "Es necesario que revele que maté a Lisbeth?" Lo extraño era que, al mismo tiempo que se hacía esta pregunta, estaba convencido de que le era imposible no sólo eludir semejante confesión, sino retrasarla un solo instante. No podía explicarse la razón de ello, pero sentía que era así y sufría horriblemente al darse cuenta de que no tenía fuerzas para luchar contra esta necesidad. Para evitar que su tormento se prolongara se apresuró a abrir la puerta. Pero no franqueó el umbral sin antes observar a Sonia. Estaba sentada ante su mesita, con los codos apoyados en ella y la cara en las manos. Cuando vio a Raskolnikof, se levantó en el acto y fue hacia él como si lo estuviese esperando. -Qué habría sido de mí sin usted? -le dijo con vehemencia, al encontrarse con él en medio de la habitación. Al parecer, sólo pensaba en el servicio que le había prestado, y ansiaba agradecérselo. Luego adoptó una actitud de espera. Raskolnikof se acercó a la mesa y se sentó en la silla que ella acababa de dejar. Sonia permaneció en pie a dos pasos de él, exactamente como el día anterior. -Bueno, Sonia -dijo Raskolnikof, y notó de pronto que la voz le temblaba-; ya se ...

Часть текста: succeeded in assuming a serious air and muttering something when he suddenly glanced again as though accidentally at Razumihin, and could no longer control himself: his stifled laughter broke out the more irresistibly the more he tried to restrain it. The extraordinary ferocity with which Razumihin received this "spontaneous" mirth gave the whole scene the appearance of most genuine fun and naturalness. Razumihin strengthened this impression as though on purpose. "Fool! You fiend," he roared, waving his arm which at once struck a little round table with an empty tea-glass on it. Everything was sent flying and crashing. "But why break chairs, gentlemen? You know it's a loss to the Crown," Porfiry Petrovitch quoted gaily. Raskolnikov was still laughing, with his hand in Porfiry Petrovitch's, but anxious not to overdo it, awaited the right moment to put a natural end to it. Razumihin, completely put to confusion by upsetting the table and smashing the glass, gazed gloomily at the fragments, cursed and turned sharply to the window where he stood looking ...

Часть текста: "Well, Sofya Semyonovna, we shall see what you'll say now!" he was still superficially excited, still vigorous and defiant from his triumph over Luzhin. But, strange to say, by the time he reached Sonia's lodging, he felt a sudden impotence and fear. He stood still in hesitation at the door, asking himself the strange question: "Must I tell her who killed Lizaveta?" It was a strange question because he felt at the very time not only that he could not help telling her, but also that he could not put off the telling. He did not yet know why it must be so, he only felt it, and the agonising sense of his impotence before the inevitable almost crushed him. To cut short his hesitation and suffering, he quickly opened the door and looked at Sonia from the doorway. She was sitting with her elbows on the table and her face in her hands, but seeing Raskolnikov she got up at once and came to meet him as though she were expecting him. "What would have become of me but for you!" she said quickly, meeting him in the middle of the room. Evidently she was in haste to say this to him. It was what she had been waiting for. Raskolnikov went to the table and sat down on the chair from which she had only just risen. She stood facing him, two steps away, just as she had done the day before. "Well, Sonia?" he said, and felt that his voice was trembling, "it was all due to 'your social position and the habits associated with it. ' Did you understand that just now?" Her face showed her distress. "Only don't talk to me as...

Часть текста: palabra ni aventurado la más mínima alusión; el príncipe mismo fue quien dio los primeros pasos, y Versilov admitió la cosa en silencio y no volvió a mencionarla nunca; jamás mostró acordarse en forma alguna de la promesa. Diré de paso quc el príncipe, al principio, se mostró totalmente encantado con él, en particular con sus discursos; llegó incluso a entusiasmarse y me lo dijo en varias ocasiones. Exclamaba a veces, a solas conmigo y casi con desesperación, que era "tan inculto, que llevaba un camino tan equivocado...". La verdad es queéramos entonces tan amigos... ! Por mi parte me esforzaba en hacer que Versilov adquiriera una buena opinión del príncipe, defendía sus defectos, aunque los veía muy bien; pero Versilov se quedaba silencioso o sonreía. -Si tiene defectos, para mí por lo menos tiene tantas cualidades como defectos! - exclamé un día, plantándole cara a Versilov. -Cómo lo adulas, gran Dios! - se burló. -En qué? - pregunté sin comprender. -Tantas cualidades!Pues hará milagros, si tiene tantas cualidades como defectos! Por lo visto, no se trataba solamente de una opinión. En una palabra, evitaba entonces hablar del príncipe, como en general evitaba hablar de todos los problemas esenciales; pero del príncipe todavía más. Yo sospechaba ya que iba a ver al príncipe cuando yo no estaba y que sostenía con él relaciones particulares, pero aquello no me molestaba. Tampoco me sentía celoso porque le hablase más seriamente que a mí, de manera más positiva, por así decirlo, con menos ironía; pero yo era entonces tan feliz, que incluso aquello me agradaba. Hasta lo excusaba con el hecho de que el príncipe...

Часть текста: it, had not dropped a hint. Prince Sergay came forward himself and Versilov only let it pass in silence, never once alluded to it, and showed no sign that he had the least recollection of a promise. I may mention, by the way, that Prince Sergay was absolutely enchanted with him at first and still more with the things he said. He fell into positive raptures about him, and several times expressed his feelings to me. Sometimes when he was alone with me he exclaimed about himself, almost with despair, that he was "so ill-educated, that he was on the wrong track! . . ." Oh, we were still so friendly then! . . . I kept trying to impress Versilov with Prince Sergay's good points only, and excused his defects though I saw them myself; but Versilov listened in silence, or smiled. "If he has faults he has at least as many virtues as defects!" I once exclaimed to Versilov when I was alone with him. "Goodness, how you flatter him!" he said laughing. "How do I flatter him?" I said, not understanding. "As many virtues! Why he must be a saint if he has as many virtues as defects!" But, of course, that...

Часть текста: pero yo estaba atento al significado de cada una de sus palabras, mientras tú, siguiendo tu costumbre, no te fijabas en nada. -Tú has prestado tanta atención porque eres un hombre desconfiado. Sin embargo, reconozco que Porfirio hablaba en un tono extraño. Y, sobre todo, ese ladino de Zamiotof... Tiene razón: había en él algo raro... Pero por qué, Señor, por qué? -Habrá reflexionado durante la noche. -No; es todo lo contrario de lo que supones. Si les hubiera asaltado esa idea estúpida, lo habrían disimulado por todos los medios, habrían procurado ocultar sus intenciones, a fin de poder atraparte después con más seguridad. Intentar hacerlo ahora habría sido una torpeza y una insolencia. -Si hubiesen tenido pruebas, verdaderas pruebas, o suposiciones nada más que algo fundadas, habrían procurado sin duda ocultar su juego para ganar la partida... O tal vez habrían hecho un registro en mi habitación hace ya tiempo... Pero no tienen ni una sola prueba. Lo único que tienen son conjeturas gratuitas, suposiciones sin fundamento. Por eso intentan desconcertarme con sus insolencias... Obedecerá todo al despecho de Porfirio, que está furioso por no tener pruebas...? Tal vez persiga algún fin que es para nosotros un misterio... Parece inteligente... Es muy probable que haya intentado atemorizarme haciéndome creer que...

Часть текста: her companion intently. He looked back at her, but at times it was clear that he did not see her and was not thinking of her. Aglaya began to flush up. "Oh yes!" cried the prince, starting. "Hippolyte's suicide--" "What? At your house?" she asked, but without much surprise. "He was alive yesterday evening, wasn't he? How could you sleep here after that?" she cried, growing suddenly animated. "Oh, but he didn't kill himself; the pistol didn't go off." Aglaya insisted on hearing the whole story. She hurried the prince along, but interrupted him with all sorts of questions, nearly all of which were irrelevant. Among other things, she seemed greatly interested in every word that Evgenie Pavlovitch had said, and made the prince repeat that part of the story over and over again. "Well, that'll do; we must be quick," she concluded, after hearing all. "We have only an hour here, till eight; I must be home by then without fail, so that they may not find out that I came and sat here with you; but I've come on business. I have a great deal to say to you. But you have bowled me over considerably with your news. As to Hippolyte, I think his pistol was bound not to go off; it was more consistent with the whole affair. Are you sure he really wished to blow his brains out, and that there was no humbug about the matter?" "No humbug at all." "Very likely. So he wrote that you were to bring me a copy of his confession, did he? Why didn't...

Часть текста: was rather strange, and still more that wretch Zametov!... You are right, there was something about him- but why? Why?" "He has changed his mind since last night." "Quite the contrary! If they had that brainless idea, they would do their utmost to hide it, and conceal their cards, so as to catch you afterwards.... But it was all impudent and careless." "If they had had facts- I mean, real facts- or at least grounds for suspicion, then they would certainly have tried to hide their game, in the hope of getting more (they would have made a search long ago besides). But they have no facts, not one. It is all mirage- all ambiguous. Simply a floating idea. So they try to throw me out by impudence. And perhaps, he was irritated at having no facts, and blurted it out in his vexation- or perhaps he has some plan... He seems an intelligent man. Perhaps he wanted to frighten me by pretending to know. They have a psychology of their own, brother. But it is loathsome explaining it all. Stop!" "And it's insulting, insulting! I understand you. But... since we have spoken openly now (and it is an excellent thing that we have at last- I am glad) I will own now frankly that I noticed it in them long ago, this idea. Of course the merest hint only- an insinuation- but why an insinuation even? How dare they? What foundation have they? If only you knew how furious I have been. Think only! Simply because a poor student, unhinged by poverty and hypochondria, on the eve of a severe delirious illness (note that), suspicious, vain, proud, who has not seen a soul to speak to for six months, in rags and in boots without soles, has to face some wretched policemen and...
