- CRIME AND PUNISHMENT 215
cause we were alone, utterly alone," she said plaintively and
stopped short, suddenly, recollecting it was still somewhat dan-
gerous to speak of Pyotr Petrovitch, although "we are quite
happy again."
"Yes, yes. . . . Of course it's very annoying. . . ." Raskolnikov
muttered in reply, but with such a preoccupied and inattentive
air that Dounia gazed at him in perplexity.
"What else was it I wanted to say," he went on trying to
recollect. "Oh, yes; mother, and you too, Dounia, please don't
think that I didn't mean to come and see you to-day and was
waiting for you to come first."
"What are you saying, Rodya?" cried Pulcheria Alexan-
drovna. She, too, was surprised.
"Is he answering us as a duty?" Dounia wondered. "Is he
being reconciled and asking forgiveness as though he were per-
forming arite or repeating a lesson?"
"I've only just waked up, and wanted to go to you, but
was delayed owing to my clothes; I forgot yesterday to ask her
. . . Nastasya ... to wash out the blood . . . I've only just got
dressed."
"Blood! What blood?" Pulcheria Alexandrovna asked in
alarm.
"Oh, nothing — don't be uneasy. It was when I was wander-
ing about yesterday, rather delirious, I chanced upon a man who
had been run over ... a clerk . . ."
"Delirious? But you remember everything!" Razumihin
interrupted.
"That's true," Raskolnikov answered with special careful-
ness. "I remember everything even to the slightest detail, and
yet — why I did that and went there and said that, I can't
clearly explain now."
"A familiar phenomenon," interposed Zossimov, "actions are
sometimes performed in a masterly and most cunning way,
while the direction of the actions is deranged and dependent
on various morbid impressions — it's like a dream."
"Perhaps it's a good thing really that he should think me
almost a madman," thought Raskolnikov.
"Why, people in perfect health act in the same way too,"
observed Dounia, looking uneasily at Zossimov.
"There is some truth in your observation," the latter replied.
