simov to sleep at the landlady's, to be at hand. "Which is better
for him: you or the doctor? So come home then! But the land-
lady isout of the question; it's all right for me, but it's out of
the question for you: she wouldn't take you, for she's . . . for
she's a fool . . . She'd be jealous on my account of Avdotya
Romanovna and of you, too, if you want to know ... of Av-
dotya Romanovna certainly. She is an absolutely, absolutely un-
accountable character! But I am a fool, too! . . . No matter!
Come along! Do you trust me? Come, do you trust me or not?"
"Let us go, mother," said Avdotya Romanovna, "he will cer-
tainly do what he has promised. He has saved Rodya already,
and if the doctor really will consent to spend the night here,
what could be better?"
"You see, you . . . you . . . understand me, because you are an

hardly keep up with him, a fact he did not observe, however.
"Nonsense! That is ... I am drunk like a fool, but that's not

head . . . But don't mind me! Don't take any notice: I am

unworthy of you! The minute I've taken you home, I'll pour
a couple of pailfuls of water over my head in the gutter here,
and then I shall be all right ... If only you knew how I love
you both! Don't laugh, and don't be angry! You may be
angry with any one, but not with me! I am his friend, and
therefore I am your friend, too, I want to be ... I had a pre-
