- CRIME AND PUNISHMENT 101
three minutes later when they went up with the porter, it turned
out the door was unfastened."
"That's just it; the murderer must have been there and bolted
himself in; and they'd have caught him for a certainty if Koch
had not been an ass and gone to look for the porter too. He must
have seized the interval to get downstairs and slip by them
somehow. Koch keeps crossing himself and saying: 'If I had
been there, he would have jump>ed out and killed me with his
axe.' He is going to have a thanksgiving service- — ^ha, ha!"
"And no one saw the murderer?"
"They might well not see him; the house is ? regular Noah'y
Ark," said the head clerk, who was listening.
"It's clear, quite clear," Nikodim Fomitch repeated warmly.
"No, it is anything but clear," Ilya Petrovitch maintained.
Raskolnikov picked up his hat and walked towards the door,,
but he did not reach it. . . .
When he recovered consciousness, he found himself sitting in
a chair, supported by some one on the right side, wliile some one
else was standing on the left, holding a yellowish glass filled
with yellow water, and Nikodim Fomitch standing before him>
looking intently at him. He got up from the chair.
"What's this? Are you ill?" Nikodim Fomitch asked, rather
sharply.
"He could hardly hold his pen when he was signing," said the
head clerk, settling back in his place, and taking up his work
again.
"Have you been ill long?" cried Ilya Petrovitch from his
place, where he, too, was looking through papers. He had, of
course, come to look at the sick man when he fainted, hut re
tired at once when he recovered.
"Since yesterday," muttered Raskolnikov in reply.
"Did you go out yesterday?"
"Yes."
"Though you were ill?"
"Yes."
"At what time?"
"About seven."
"And where did you go, may I ask?**
"Along the street."
"Short and clear."
