- 240 CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
"Not a bit of it! I didn't mean that at all! Quite the con-
trary!" shouted Razumihin distressed.
"Was it right? Was it natural? Did I overdo it?" Raskolni-
kov asked himself in a tremor. "Why did I say that about
women?"
"Oh, your mother is with you?" Porfiry Petrovitch inquired.
"Yes."
"When did she come?"
"Last night."
Porfiry paused as though reflecting.
"Your things would not in any case be lost," he wient on
calmly and coldly. "I have been expecting you here for some
time."And as though that was a matter of no importance, he care-
fully offered the ash-tray to Razumihin, who was ruthlessly
scattering cigarette ash over the carpet. Raskolnikov shuddered,
but Porfiry did not seem to be looking at him, and was still
concerned with Razumihin's cigarette.
"What? Expecting him? Why, did you know that he had
pledges there?" cried Razumihin.
Porfiry Petrovitch addressed himself to Raskolnikov.
"Your things, the ring and the watch, were wrapjied up
together, and on the paper your name was legibly written in
pencil, together with the date on which you left them with
her . . ."
"How observant you are!" Raskolnikov smiled awkwardly,
doing his very utmost to look him straight in the face, but he
failed, and suddenly added:
"I say that because I suppose there were a great many pledges
... so that it must be diflficult to remember them all. . .'. But
you remember them all so clearly, and . . . and . . ."
"Stupid! Feeble!" he thought. "Why did I add that?"
"But we know all who had pledges, and you are the only one
who hasn't come forward," Porfiry answered with hardly per-
ceptible irony.
"I haven't been quite well."
"I heard that too. I heard, indeed, that you were in great
distress about something. You look pale still."
"I am not pale at all No, I am quite well," Raskolnikov
snapped out rudely and angrily, completely changing his tone.
