- 416 CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
thought. He went out of the tavern and rushed away almost at
a run. The thought of Dounia and his mother suddenly reduced
him almost to a panic. That night he woke up before morning
among some bushes in Krestovsky Island, trembling all over
with fever; he walked home, and it was early morning when
he arrived. After some hours' sleep the fever left him, but he
woke up late, two o'clock in the afternoon.
He remembered that Katerina Ivanovna's funeral had been
fixed for that day, and was glad that he was not present at it.
Nastasya brought him some food; he ate and drank with appe-
tite, almost with greediness. His head was fresher and he was
calmer than he had been for the last three days. He even felt a
passing wonder at his previous attacks of panic.
The door opened and Razumihin came in.
"Ah, he's eating, then he's not ill," said Razumihin. He took
a chair and sat down at the table opposite Raskolnikov.
He was troubled and did not attempt to conceal it. He spoke

begin telling me your secrets, I dare say I shouldn't stay to listen,
I should go away cursing. I have only come to find out once
for all whether it's a fact that you are mad? There is a convic-
tion in the air that you are mad or very nearly so. I admit I've
been disposed to that opinion myself, judging from your stupid,
repuhive and quite inexplicable actions, and from your recent
behaviour to your mother and sister. Only a monster or a mad-
man could treat them as you have; so you must be mad."
"When did you see them last?"
"Just now. Haven't you seen them since then? What have
you been doing with yourself? Tell me, please. I've been to
you three times already. Your mother has been seriously ill
since yesterday. She had made up her mind to come to you;
Avdotya Romanovna tried to prevent her; she wouldn't hear a
word. 'If he is ill, if his mind is giving way, who can look after
him like his mother?' she said. We all came here together,
we couldn't let her come alone all the way. We kept begging her
