- 294 CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
"God has delivered us! God has deHvered us!" Pulcheria Al-
cxandrovna muttered, but half consciously, as though scarcely-
able to realise what had happened.
They were all relieved, and in five minutes they were laugh-
ing. Only now and then Dounia turned white and frowned,
remembering what had passed. Pulcheria Alexandrovna was sur-
prised tofind that she, too, was glad: she had only that morning
thought rupture with Luzhin a terrible misfortune. Razumihin
was delighted. He did not yet dare to express his joy fully, but he
was in a fever of excitement as though a ton-wtight had fallen
off his heart. Now he had the right to devote his life to them,
to serve them. . . . Anything might happen now! But he felt
afraid to think of further possibilities and dared not let his
imagination range. But Raskolnikov sat still in the same place,

"And how dare he offer her money!"
Then Raskolnikov repeated (rather drily) his conversation
with Svidrigailov, omitting his account of the ghostly visita-
tions ofMarfa Petrovna, wishing to avoid all unnecessary talk.
"What answer did you give him?" asked Dounia.
"At first I said I would not take any message to you. Thenhe said that he would do his utmost to obtain an interview
with you without my help. He assured me that his passion
for you was a passing infatuation, now he has no feeling for you.
He doesn't want you to marry Luzhin. . . . His talk was alto-
gether rather muddled."
"How do you explain him to yourself, Rodya? How did he
strike you?"
"I must confess I don't quite imderstand him. He o£Fers you
