;Listen�察�Dounia�察─�he began�察�gravely and drily�察 �of course I beg your
pardon for yesterday�察�but I consider it my duty to tell you again that
I do not withdraw from my chief point。 It is me or Luzhin。 If I am a
scoundrel�察�you must not be。 One is enough。 If you marry Luzhin�察�I
cease at once to look on you as a sister。;
;Rodya�察�Rodya� �It is the same as yesterday again�察─�Pulcheria
Alexandrovna cried�察�mournfully。 ;And why do you call yourself a
scoundrel�拭�I can't bear it。 You said the same yesterday。;
;Brother�察─�Dounia answered firmly and with the same dryness。 ;In all
this there is a mistake on your part。 I thought it over at night�察 �
and found out the mistake。 It is all because you seem to fancy I am
sacrificing myself to some one and for some one。 That is not the
case at all。 I am simply marrying for my own sake�察�because things
are hard for me。 Though�察�of course�察�I shall be glad if I succeed in
being useful to my family。 But that is not the chief motive for my
decision。。。。;
;She is lying�察─�he thought to himself�察�biting his nails
vindictively。 ;Proud creature� �She won't admit she wants to do it
out of charity� �Too haughty� �Oh�察�base characters� �They even love as
though they hate。。。。 Oh�察�how I。。。 hate them all� ─ �
;In fact�察─�continued Dounia�察 �I am marrying Pyotr Petrovitch because
of two evils I choose the less。 I intend to do honestly all he expects
of me�察�so I am not deceiving him。。。。 Why did you smile just now�拭─�She�察 �
too�察�flushed�察�and there was a gleam of anger in her eyes。
;All�拭─�he asked�察�with a malignant grin。
;Within certain limits。 Both the manner and form of Pyotr
Petrovitch's courtship showed me at once what he wanted。 He may�察�of
course�察�think too well of himself�察�but I hope he esteems me�察�too。。。。
Why are you laughing again�拭─ �
;And why are you blushing again�拭�You are lying�察�sister。 You are
intentionally lying�察�simply from feminine obstinacy�察�simply to hold
your own against me。。。。 You cannot respect Luzhin。 I have seen him and
talked with him。 So you are selling yourself for money�察�and so in
any case you are acting basely�察�and I am glad at least that you can
blush for it。;
;It is not true。 I am not lying�察─�cried Dounia�察�losing her
composure。 ;I would not marry him if I were not convinced that he
esteems me and thinks highly of me。 I would not marry him if I were
not firmly convinced that I can respect him。 Fortunately�察�I can have
convincing proof of it this very day。。。 and such a marriage is not a
vileness�察�as you say� �And even if you were right�察�if I really had
determined on a vile action�察�is it not merciless on your part to speak
to me like that�拭�Why do you demand of me a heroism that perhaps you
have not either�拭�It is despotism�察�it is tyranny。 If I ruin any one�察�it
is only myself。。。。 I am not committing a murder。 Why do you look at me
like that�拭�Why are you so pale�拭�Rodya�察�darling�察�what's the matter�拭─ �
;Good heavens� �You have made him faint�察─�cried Pulcheria
Alexandrovna。
;No�察�no�察�nonsense� �It's nothing。 A little giddiness´ not fainting。
You have fainting on the brain。 H'm�察�yes�察�what was I saying�拭�Oh�察 �
yes。 In what way will you get convincing proof to´day that you can
respect him�察�and that he。。。 esteems you�察�as you said。 I think you said
to´day�拭─ �
;Mother�察�show Rodya Pyotr Petrovitch's letter�察─�said Dounia。
With trembling hands�察�Pulcheria Alexandrovna gave him the letter。 He
took it with great interest�察�but�察�before opening it�察�he suddenly
looked with a sort of wonder at Dounia。
;It is strange�察─�he said�察�slowly�察�as though struck by a new idea。
;What am I making such a fuss for�拭�What is it all about�拭�Marry whom
you like� ─ �
He said this as though to himself�察�but said it aloud�察�and looked for
some time at his sister�察�as though puzzled。 He opened the letter at
last�察�still with the same look of strange wonder on his face。 Then�察 �
slowly and attentively�察�he began reading�察�and read it through twice。
Pulcheria Alexandrovna showed marked anxiety�察�and all indeed
expected something particular。
;What surprises me�察─�he began�察�after a short pause�察�handing the
letter to his mother�察�but not addressing any one in particular�察 �is
that he is a business man�察�a lawyer�察�and his conversation is
pretentious indeed�察�and yet he writes such an uneducated letter。;
They all started。 They had expected something quite different。
;But they all write like that�察�you know�察─�Razumihin observed�察 �
abruptly。
;Have you read it�拭─ �
;Yes。;
;We showed him�察�Rodya。 We。。。 consulted him just now�察─�Pulcheria
Alexandrovna began�察�embarrassed。
;That's just the jargon of the courts�察─�Razumihin put in。 ;Legal
documents are written like that to this day。;
;Legal�拭�Yes�察�it's just legal´ business language´ not so very
uneducated�察�and not quite educated´ business language� ─ �
;Pyotr Petrovitch makes no secret of the fact that he had a cheap
education�察�he is proud indeed of having made his own way�察─�Avdotya
Romanovna observed�察�somewhat offended by her brother's tone。
;Well�察�if he's proud of it�察�he has reason�察�I don't deny it。 You seem
to be offended�察�sister�察�at my making only such a frivolous criticism
on the letter�察�and to think that I speak of such trifling matters on
purpose to annoy you。 It is quite the contrary�察�an observation apropos
of the style occurred to me that is by no means irrelevant as things
stand。 There is one expression�察�'blame yourselves' put in very
significantly and plainly�察�and there is besides a threat that he
will go away at once if I am present。 That threat to go away is
equivalent to a threat to abandon you both if you are disobedient�察�and
to abandon you now after summoning you to Petersburg。 Well�察�what do
you think�拭�Can one resent such an expression from Luzhin�察�as we should
if he ��he pointed to Razumihin�� had written it�察�or Zossimov�察�or one of
us�拭─ �
;N´no�察─�answered Dounia�察�with more animation。 ;I saw clearly that it
was too naively expressed�察�and that perhaps he simply has no skill
in writing。。。 that is a true criticism�察�brother。 I did not expect�察 �
indeed。。。;
;It is expressed in legal style�察�and sounds coarser than perhaps
he intended。 But I must disillusion you a little。 There is one
expression in the letter�察�one slander about me�察�and rather a
contemptible one。 I gave the money last night to the widow�察�a woman in
consumption�察�crushed with trouble�察�and not 'on the pretext of the
funeral��' but simply to
