- 464 CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
faintly. "How do I go to her? She has come in, perhaps. I must
see her at once. Perhaps she . . ."
Avdotya Romanovna could not finish. Her breath literally
failed her.
"Sofya Semyonovna will not be back till night, at least I
believe not. She was to have been back at once, but if not, then
she will not be in till quite late."
"Ah, then you are lying! I see . . . you were lying . . . lying
all the time. ... I don't believe you! I don't believe you!" cried
Dounia, completely losing her head.
Almost fainting, she sank on to a chair which Svidrigailov
made haste to give her.
"Avdotya Romanovna, what is it? Control yourself! Here
is some water. Drink a little. . . ."
He sprinkled some water over her. Dounia shuddered and
came to herself.
"It has acted "violently," Svidrigailov muttered to himself,
frowning. "Avdotya Romanovna, calm yourself! Believe me,
he has friends. We will save him. "Would you like me to take
him abroad? I have money, I can get a ticket in three days.
And as for the murder, he will do all sorts of good deeds yet,
to atone for it. Calm yourself. He may become a great man yet.
Well, how are you? How do you feel?"
"Cruel man! To be able to jeer at it! Let me go. . . ."
"Where are you going?"
"To him. Where is he? Do you know? Why is this doorlocked? We came in at that door and now it is locked. When
-lid you manage to lock it?"
"We couldn't be shouting all over the flat on such a subject.
I am far from jeering; it's simply that I'm sick of talking like
this. But how can you go in such a state? Do you want to
betray him? You will drive him to fury, and he will give him-
self up. Let me tell you, he is already being watched; they are
already on his track. You will simply be giving him away. Wait
a little: I saw him and was talking to him just now. He can still
be saved. Wait a bit, sit down; let us think it over together. I
asked you to come in order to discuss it alone with you and to
consider it thoroughly. But do sit down!"
"How can you save him? Can he really be saved?"
Dounia sat down. Svidrigailov sat down beside her.
