CRIME AND PUNISHMENT 231
—they are only worth five or six roubles altogether . . . but I
value them. So what am I to do now? I do not want to lose the
things, especially the watch. I was quaking just now, for fear
mother would ask to look at it, when we spoke of Dounia's
watch. It is the only thing of father's left us. She would be ill
if it were lost. You know what women are. So tell me what to
do. I know I ought to have given notice at the police station, but
would it not be better to go straight to Porfiry? Eh? What do
you think? The matter might be settled more quickly. You
see mother may ask for it before dinner."
"Certainly not to the police station. Certainly to Porfiry,"
Razumihin shouted in extraordinary excitement. "Well, how
glad I am. Let us go at once. It is a couple of steps. We shall be
sure to find him."
"Very well, let us go."
"And he will be very, very glad to make your acquaintance.
I have often talked to him of you at different times. I was
speaking of you yesterday. Let us go. So you knew the old
woman? So that's it! It is all turning out splendidly. . . . Oh,
yes, Sofya Ivanovna . . ."
"Sofya Semyonovna," corrected Raskolnikov. "Sofya Sem-
yonovna, this is my friend Razumihin, and he is a good man."
"If you have to go now," Sonia was beginning, not looking
at Razumihin at all, and still more embarrassed.
"Let us go," decided Raskolnikov. "I will come to you to-
day, Sofya Semyonovna. Only tell me where you live."
He was not exactly ill at ease, but seemed hurried, and avoided
her eyes. Sonia gave her address, and flushed as she did so. They
all went out together.
"Don't you lock up?" asked Razumihin, following him on
to the stairs..
"Never," answered Raskolnikov. "I have been meaning to
buy a lock for these two years. People are happy who have
no need of locks," he said, laughing, to Sonia. They stood still
in the gateway.
"Do you go to the right, Sofya Semyonovna? How did you
find me, by the way?" he added, as though he wanted to say
something quite different. He wanted to look at her soft clear
eyes, but this was not easy.
"Why, you gave your address to Polenka yesterday."
