- 2S CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
"I am doing ..." Raskolnikov began sullenly and reluctantly.
"What are you doing?"
"Work ..."
"What sort of work?"
"I am thinking," he answered seriously after a pause.
Nastasya was overcome with a fit of laughter. She was given
to laughter and when anything amused her, she laughed4r ^-^hI-
ibly, quivering and shaking all over till she felt ill. «|&^
"And have you made much money by your thinking?" she
managed to articulate at last.
"One can't go out to give lessons without boots. And I'm
sick of it."
"Don't quarrel with your bread and butter."
"They pay so little for lessons. What's the use of a few
coppers?" he answered, reluctantly, as though replying to his
own thought.
"And you want to get a fortune all at once?" ^
He looked at her strangely.
"Yes, I want a fortune," he answered firmly, after a brief
pause.
"Don't be in sifcn'aT hurry, you quite frighten me! Shall I get
you the loaf or not?"
"As you please."
"Ah, I forgot! A letter came for you yesterday when you
were out."
"A letter? for me! from whom?"
"I can't say. I gave three copecks of my own to the postman
for it. Will you pay me back?"
"Then bring it to me, for God's sake, bring it," cried Raskol-
nikov greatly excited — "good God!"
A minute later the letter was brought him. That was it: from
his mother, from the province of R . He turned pale when
he took it. It was a long while since he had received a letter,
but another feeling also suddenly stabbed his heart.
"Nastasya, leave me alone, for goodness' sake; here are yovu-
three copecks, but for goodness' sake, make haste and go!"
The letter was quivering in his hand; he did not want to open
it in her presence; he wanted to be left alone with this letter.
When Nastasya had gone out, he lifted it quickly to his lips
and kissed it; then he guzed intently at the address, the small.
