But they don't seem to realize facts are not everything—it's what you make of them! ” "You make something of them, then? ' ' "I might be of help. Do you know the details of the case? ” "Dushkin, a tavern keeper, brought the police a box with gold j ewelry ⅲ it a few days after the mur- der. He said NikoIay, the painter, sold them to him for a ruble the day of the murder. "He suspected him because he knew NikoIay had a job ⅲ that house with Dmitri the day of the mur- der. He went there to see him, but Dmitri said he had gone out drinking. 、 'When Nikolay came to the tavern the next day, Dushkin asked him if he knew what happened. Dushkin said he turned white when he told him and left without a word. That's when Dushkin went t0 the police. He's sure it was Nik01ay's doing. 37

'' 、 'You should be more careful," Razumihin said. Porfiry Petrovitch saw them to the door with great politeness. CHAPTER VI 、 'I can't believe it! " said Razumihin as they approached Bakaleyev's house. "Don't believe it, then! ' ' answered Raskolnikov. "lf only you knew how angry I am.

There stood yesterday's visitor. He looked as he did yesterday, butthere was a great change in his face. "What do you want? " asked Raskolnikov, almost beside himself with fear. "I have sinned," the man said. "How? ” "By evil thoughts. When you came, perhaps drunk, and asked about the blood and wanted them t0 go t0 the police station with you, I was angry they let you go. ' "Then you came frot れ that house? " "l was standing at the gate with them... don't The scene at the gate came clearly t0 Rask01- nikov's mind. He remembered the voice suggesting they take him tO the police station. SO this was the solution to yesterday's fear. And he had almost done himself in over it ! This man could tell them nothing except that he asked about the flat and the blood. Porfiry had nothing but that, no facts. 。、嶬 s it you who told Porfiry that l'd been there?

"I shall always, always pray for her! Where should we be now without this three thousand! ” A half hour later, they were deep in lively talk. "The great thing is," Razumihin said, "we're together. Let me join you and we'll plan a capital business. I have an uncle with a thousand rubles he wants me tO borrow. Let me have a thousand of yours and we have enough for a start. Then Razumihin told them the plan he had in mind. He said most publishers know nothing of what they are selling. For that reason they are usually bad publishers.

PART THREE have no right tO break the law, but the other men are above the law because they are extraordinary. "What do you mean? That can't be right! ' ' Razu- mihin said. "That wasn t quite my meaning,' Raskolnikov began. 、 'I don't say extraordinary people must break the law. I only suggested an 'extraordinary' man has a right tO break... certain laws, if it is necessary tO reach his goals. "lf Newton, say, could have made his discoveries only by taking the lives of one man, or a hundred, he had the right, would indeed have been duty bound ... [ 0 do so. Superior people don't stop short at breaking the law if it is Of use to their cause. All great men are criminals. They are above the law.. Their crimes may differ, but for the most part they seek to do away with the present for the sake of the better. 。 "How do you tell who is extraordinary from who is ordinary?" Porfiry asked. "Suppose someone infe- rior thinks they are extraordinary and decides to not obey the law, then. 。、 That mistake only occurs among ordinary peo- ple. Though they have a need to obey, many of them like to think themselves advanced. But they never go far. ' "There's another thing that worries me. Are there 85

NO, because he had the jewelry, and 'he tried to hang himself. ''' "The only evidence for his innocence was that they were beating one another and laughing. How does that explain the facts?" 。、 That's easy. The murderer dropped the jewelry in the flat. He was there when Koch and Pestryakov knocked atthe door. When Koch left, the murderer ran down the stairs.

They were a flight away when suddenly he saw, a few steps away, an empty flat with the door wide open. lt was the flat on the second floor where the painters had been at work. He opened the door and hid behind it. They had already reached the landing. They went on to the fourth floor, talking loudly He left and ran down the stairs intO the street. At that moment, he knew, they were at the flat, surprised at finding it not locked. Now they were looking at the bOdies. Before another minute passed they would realize the murderer had just been there and had slipped by them. He was on the stairs Of his own house before he remembered the ax. HOW was he tO put it back and not be seen? The door Of the porter's r00n1 was closed. He had so lost all power of thinking that he walked to the door and opened it. If the porter had answered, he would perhaps have simply handed him the ax. But the porter was not at home, and he succeeded in putting the ax back under the seat. The landlady's door was shut, and he met no one on the stairs. ln his room, he sank int0 a deep sleep. Bits and 21
