" Most wonderfully so." "Almost as lovely as Nastasia Philipovna." "But quite a different type." "As who?" "What Nastasia Philipovna?" "Where have you seen her?" "Who is Nastasia Philipovna?" "Gavrila Ardalionovitch brought her portrait to show." "How?" "Did he bring the portrait for my husband?" "Only to show it. and he brought it to show." "I want to see it." "prince." "Just step to the study and fetch it." "hurry up." "go!" "Say we want to look at it." "but too simple." "indeed." "He is almost ridiculous." "Who asked you to talk?" "You know nothing!" " Idiot!" " I am very sorry." "I was not thinking at the time." "I merely said that Aglaya had the same beauty." "Just forget Nastasia Philipovna!" "prince." "I wish to ask you a great favor." "I particularly wish to speak to Aglaya." "and I need to give it to her." "Could you do so that no one else should see?" "but will you do it?" " I don't quite like it." " It is most important!"

"And I may yet be free." "Gavrila Ardalionovitch begged me to give you this." "she is very pretty." "but only at a distance." "prince?" "I do." "this kind." "Why?" "There is much suffering in this face." "You must be wandering!" "What a power!" "Whom?" "What power?" "!" "With such beauty one might overthrow the world." "Ask Gavrila Ardalionovitch to step this way!" "Mamma!" "I shall just say two words to him." "And that's all!" "Enough!" "it is all secrets with us." "All secrets!" "They talk of a marriage." "I don't like this marriage." "what are you saying?" "my dear girl?" "Do you like it yourself?" "Prince is listening?" "We are friends with him." "at least." "Here comes another marriage." "Hello." "You are going to be married?" "Married?" "what marriage?" "You want to take a wife?" "If you prefer that expression." "Me?" "No." "no." "That's enough." "I shall remember that you told me this no." "Wednesday?" "mamma." "They never know." " What date is today?" " 27th." "good." "Take care." "and I must dress and go out." "Take your portrait." "Give my respects to your poor Nina Alexandrovna."

"What can it cost you to say just this one word?" "In doing so you will but be giving me a sign and of your pity." "I will accept my poverty." " "I will be glad..."" " Enough!" "that" "His "break off everything does not commit me to anything whatever." "I should perhaps be able to accept his friendship." "His soul is a wretched thing." "He wants me to give him hopes of myself before he lets go of 75 thousand." "He's audacious and shameless." "Take the letter and give it back to him." "What shall I tell him?" "Nothing." "This will be the best answer." "you are going to live in his house." "your father kindly recommended me to him." "I want to warn you." "for taking back the letter." "The answer!" "The answer!" "What did she say?" "My note?" "He didn't give it to her!" "I might have guessed it!" "Of course she did not understand what I meant." " Why didn't you deliver it?" " I did." "And just as you asked me to." "But Aglaya Ivanovna returned it to me." "When?" "When she asked me to come out with her. and then told me to return it." "To read?" "I have just read it." "She gave it you to read herself?" "I would not have read it without her permission." "She cannot have given it to you to read." " You are lying!" " I'm telling you the truth."

"Of course it was inexcusable of me." "I really do not require such profuse apologies." "Your unpleasant position makes you abuse me." "So come along to your house." "I shall be delighted." " May I?" " One minute." "It's OK." "I'll wait." " Got any money?" " Not much." " How much?" " 25 roubles." "Show me." "How strange that it should have browned so?" "These 25 rouble notes brown in a strange way." "While other notes often grow paler." "Take it." "what next?" "A lodger here." "Wish to make acquaintance?" "I came here to warn you. for I shall certainly ask you to." "All right." " Have you seen the general?" " No." " Nor heard him?" " No." "You'll both hear and see him." "He even tries to borrow money from me." "Avis au lecteur." "Good-bye." "Can a man live with a name like Ferdishenko?" "Why not?" "Good-bye." "This is him!" "As though he were alive!" "I heard the dear familiar name and it reminded me of the irrevocable past." " Prince Muishkin?" " Yes." "retired." "Varvara and little Nicolai." "May I ask your name?" "Lev Nicolaievitch." "The son of my old friend!" "Nicolai Petrovitch!" "Nicolai Lvovitch." "Lvovitch!" "I carried you in my arms." "Really?" "But it's 20 years since my father died." "20 years and 3 months." "I gave him my blessing for eternity." "Your mother..." "She died a few months later." "From a cold." "not cold!" "but from grief for her prince." "I remember the princess as well." "Youth! nearly murdered each other for her sake. when she was engaged with my friend." "The prince noticed that and was furious." "He came and woke me at seven o'clock one morning." "I rise... and dress in amazement." "Silence on both sides." "I understand it all!" "He takes 2 pistols out of his pocket." "without witnesses. when both of us will walk in eternity in 5 minutes?" "we stretch the handkerchief." "We aim the pistols at each other's hearts! our hands shake!" "we embrace." "The battle of self-sacrifice!" "she is yours!" "In a word..." " You wish to live with us?" " Yes." "For a while." "mother begs you to come to her." "I want to warn you:" "There's a tragedy here. between a questionable woman and a young fellow who might be a flunkey." "They wish to bring this woman into the house where my wife and daughter reside!" "But while I breathe... give me a favor." "Come to me for a moment." "it turns out that I have nursed the prince!" "please." "My friend's son!" "You don't remember Nicolai Lvovitch?" " You saw him at Tver." " I don't remember." " He was your father?" " Yes." " But he didn't die at Tver." " He did!" "He was moved to Tver." "when he died." "He was about to be tried." "what he did." "He died in the hospital." "It was the Kolpakoff business." "he would have been acquitted." "Yes?" "Do you know that for a fact?" "Yes!" "The court-martial came to no decision." "An impossible business!" "one might say!" "Kolpakoff stole some leather to sell it and buy drink. and promised to flog him. and in a quarter of an hour was dead." "An impossible affair!" "Kolpakoff was buried." "The deceased's name was removed from the roll." "All as it should be!" "But 6 months later the man Kolpakoff was found in the 3rd company of the 2nd battalion of infantry" "Novozemlianski Division." "Same brigade." "Same division." "How?" "!" "it's a mistake." "It's easy to say My husband is wrong." "I'm the witness." "your dinner is ready." "I'm particularly hungry." "almost a psychological." " Your soup will be cold." " I'm coming." "And this despite all the papers available." "prince. if you stay with us." "His little peculiarities." "One thing I must beg of you. you've paid me." "Varia?" "It's a present from herself to him." "The question is to be decided this evening." "This evening? and there's no doubt and hope left to us." "I want to ask you." "You have known my son long? no need to stand on ceremony." "What does it mean?" "to what extent?" "Gania?" " Is what today?" "you are here!" "You can't hold your tongue!" "Is it a disease?" "Gania." "I told Varvara Ardalionovna." "as the matter is settled." "then Mr. Ptitsin is right." "Gania." "I've submitted to your will." "All I wish is that you may be happy." "but I only answer for myself." "You can hardly expect that from your sister. will have to treat you with respect." "Now I will only ask you one question. when you do not love her?" "How can such a..." "What?" "!" "Practiced hand?" "I was not going to express myself so." "But how could you so blind her?" "You are always like that!" "Varia can do as she pleases." "That's quite enough!" "This is it!" "I go out." "And I will keep my word!" "thanks to your obstinacy!" "You needn't frown at me!" "I don't care!" "if you wish!" "I am sick of your company!" "prince?" "I asked you thousand times to leave me alone!" "Gania! you should wait in the hall." "You've dropped my fur cloak." "You need to be kicked out!" "Where are you taking my cloak to?" "Are you mad?" "What an idiot it is!" "Where are you going?" " Whom you will announce?" " Nastasia Philipovna." "you know me?" "I've never seen you." "announce." "What is this noise?" "They are quarreling." "I'm capable to decide for myself!" "I'm the master of my fate!" "Nastasia Philipovna!" "At last I've entered!" "Why do you tie up your bell?" "please! Varvara Ardalionovna." "Nina Alexandrovna." "This is a rare pleasure for us." "Hello." "Where's your study?" "And where are the lodgers?" "You do take in lodgers." "How you squeeze them in?" "Don't you use a study?" " Does this pay." " It is troublesome." "it pays." "What a face you have on at this moment!" "and don't look like that!" "Gania!" "prince?" " You scared me." " Prince?" "He is prince? and sent him to announce me!" "Please forgive me." "Not bad at all!" "what are you doing here?" "I didn't expect to find you in here. our lodger." "Idiot." "What prince?" "Muishkin?" "Why didn't you put me right when I made such a dreadful mistake?" "seeing you so suddenly." "I've seen you before." "Why were you so struck dumb at the sight of me?" "What was there so overwhelming about me?" "What things I would say if I had such a chance as that!" "in your place." "I was talking about you to the Epanchins." "And Rogojin told me about you in the morning." "And how did you recognize me?" "Your portrait struck me very forcibly this morning." "What else?" "I imagined you as you are." "I seemed to have seen you." "Where?" "I seem to have seen your eyes somewhere." "But it cannot be!" "I never was here before." "Maybe in your dream?" "prince!" "But he speaks out of his innocence!" "Excuse me! and the father of this family but happy in the hope of including in that family so exquisite..." "I have heard that my son... indeed!" "A nice papa you are!" "Why didn't you come to see me?" "or does your son hide you?" "You might have come to see me." "and their parents... will you excuse the general?" "Someone is inquiring for him." "I have wished to see him too long for that." "hasn't he?" "will you? But he needs rest just now." "They say you require rest." "My dear!" "I'll stay till the end." "You are friends with general Epanchin?" "I knew Ivan Fyodorovitch well. and the deceased Prince Nicolai Lvovitch Muishkin were three inseparables." "if I can say so. it was all up between us." "The poodle?" "What was that?" "Tell me about it." "I haven't heard either." "you are wanted!" "I had to go somewhere on business." "I took a first-class ticket." "I was alone in the carriage." "I had the window open. not bad-looking women." "and talked English together." "And I kept on smoking." "I observed that I took no notice." "why couldn't they say so?" "Human beings can share!" "not a hint! a lady in light blue seizes my cigar and throws it out." "and I sat bewildered. glared at me with flashing eyes. took it up delicately by the nape of the neck after the cigar." "The poodle's yells were lost." "you naughty man!" "Bravo!" "Bravo!" "I was right!" "Truly right! poodles are much more so." " And what did the lady do?" " Her?" "That's where all the mischief of it lies. she slapped me on the cheek!" "A wild woman!" "Out of her wildness!" " And you?" " I lost my head!" " Did you hit her?" " No!" "I didn't." "but I didn't hit her!" "purely to defend myself." "But the very devil was in the business. and the other woman was a princess Bielokonski." "And old-maid of 35." "everybody knows what great friends the princess and Mrs. Epanchin are." "I called with apologies." "asking for forgiveness." "But they would not receive either me or my apology." "too!" "But how is it?" "5 or 6 days ago" "I read exactly the same story in the "Independence"." "Exactly the same! between a Frenchman and an English girl. and the poodle was thrown and the dress was light blue!" "But assure you that the same thing happened to myself!" "I assure you!" "It happened to myself!" "My father had a trouble with Bielokonski's governess." "the same anecdote happening at different ends of Europe!" "All the details are same." "I'll send you the paper." "But my experience was 2 years earlier." "no doubt!" "Father!" "Will you hear a word from me outside?" "the Judas!" "you scoundrel!" "You didn't expect Rogojin?" "!" "then!" "So that's the end of it!" "Will you answer me or not?" "prince?" "What does it mean?" "!" "my mother and sister are here." "I see your mother and sister." " May I ask you..." " He doesn't recognize me!" "I believe." "You met me somewhere!" "It's only 3 months since I lost 200 roubles to you." "and you cheated." "Ptitsin knows all about it." "I'll show a 3-rouble note and you'd crawl on your hands and knees to get it." "I've come now to buy you up! I have no money." "I have!" "Enough to buy up you and all yours together!" "I'll buy you up!" "I will!" "Nastasia Philipovna!" "Don't turn me out!" "or not?" "Certainly not." "What are you thinking of?" "No?" "!" "No?" "!" "And they told me you had promised to marry him." "Him!" "As if you could do it!" "I'd buy him for 100 roubles! and leave his bride to me!" "skunk?" "Would you take 3 thousand?" "Here they are!" "I've come to pay you off!" "you drunken beast!" "Nastasia Philipovna!" "18 thousand." "And you shall have more." "Damn!" "I lied." "Why I listened to you!" "for me?" "!" "You're a fool." "then!" "40 thousand!" "40 thousand!" "Everything I have today!" "Everything I have!" "Not 18!" "All I have in my pocket!" "Everything to the table!" "If so... 100 thousand." "I will give you today." "Ptitsin!" "Help me." "You'll have your share." "You are mad!" "You're drunk!" "Think where you are!" "He's just boasting!" "No!" "You'll have it today!" "you gay usurer!" "but get it by the evening!" "I'm in earnest!" "what's all this?" "!" "What's this now?" "old man!" "You'll have your drink." "It's too horrible!" "There must be someone who will turn this shameless creature out of the room!" "I'm the shameless creature!" "And I came to invite them over to my house!" "Look how your sister treats me." " What have you done?" " Should I apologize?" "She insulted our mother and disgraced the household!" "What have you done?" "Ptitsin." "Come on." "Enough." "damn you!" "I shall not allow you to strike her!" "How ashamed you will be of this afterwards." "you will be ashamed!" "Ashamed of yourself for having injured such a sheep." "leave this and come away with me." "You'll see how Rogojin loves his friends." "I really think I have seen him somewhere." "Aren't you ashamed?" "Are you really that sort of woman?" "Is it possible?" "!" "I am not that sort of woman." "He guessed." "Nastasia Philipovna!" "I'll see you off." "See you in the evening." "Please do come." "Stand back!" "Gania!"
