We'll talk things over. What men need is fresh air more than anything! ' ' SvidrigaiIov left when the priest arrived. RaskoInikov looked atthe children by the coffin, and at Sonia praying behind them. "These last two days she hasn't said a word to me," he thought. After the service Raskolnikov went up tO Sonia. She took his hands and let her head sink on his shoulder. This friendly gesture puzzled him. lt seemed strange tO him there was no trace Of her not liking him.
