said, though 'yo^"" rnamma' is not bad either. Come then, what
do you say? Is he fully conscious, eh?"
"That's all right. If only he can sign this little paper."
"He can scrawl his name. Have you got the book?"
"Yes, here's the book."
"Give it to me. Here, Rodya, sit up. I'll hold you. Take the
pen and scribble 'Raskolnikov' for him. For just now, brother,
money is sweeter to us than treacle."
"I don't want it," said Raskolnikov, pushing away the p>en.
"Not want it?"
"I won't sign it."
"How the devil can you do without signing it?"
"I don't want . . . the money."
"Don't want the money! Come, brother, that's nonsense, 1
bear witness. Don't trouble, please, it's only that he is on his
travels again. But that's pretty common with him at all times
though. . . . You are a man of judgment and we will take him
in hand, that is, more simply, take his hand and he will sign
it. Here."
"But I can come another time."
"No, no. Why should we trouble you? You are a man of
judgment. . . . Now, Rodya, don't keep your visitor, you see
he is waiting," and he made ready to hold Raskolnikov's handin earnest.
"Stop, I'll do it alone," said the latter, taking the pen and
signing his name.
The messenger took out the money and went away.
"Bravo! And now, brother, are you hungry?"
"Yes," answered Raskolnikov.
"Is there any soup?"
"Some of yesterday's," answered Nastasya, who was still
standing there.
"With potatoes and rice in it?"
"Yes."
"I know it by heart. Bring soup and give us some tea."
"Very well."
Raskolnikov looked at all this with profound astonishment
and a dull, unreasoning terror. He made up his mind to keep
quiet and see what would happen. "I believe I am not wander-
ing. IbeUeve it's reality," he thought.
