'You are our one comfort, you are everything to us.* Oh,\nmother!\"\nHis bitterness grew more and more intense, and if he had\nhappened to meet Mr. Luzhin at the moment, he might have\nmurdered him.\n\"Hm . . . yes, that's true,\" he continued, pursuing the whirl-\ning ideas that chased each other in his brain, \"it is true that\n•it needs time and care to get to know a man,' but there is no\nmistake about Mr. Luzhin. The chief thing is he is 'a man of\nbusiness and seems kind,' that was something, wasn't it, to send\nthe bags and big box for them! A kind man, no doubt after that!\nBut his bride and her mother are to drive in a peasant's cart\ncovered with sacking (I know, I have been driven in it). No\nmatter! It is only ninety versts and then they can 'travel very\ncomfortably, third class,' for a thousand versts! Quite right,\ntoo. One must cut one's coat according to one's cloth, but what\nabout you, Mr. Luzhin? She is your bride. . . . And you must be\naware that her mother has to raise money on her pension for the\njourney. To be sure it's a matter of business, a partnership for\nmutual benefit, with equal shares and expenses; — food and\ndrink provided, but pay for your tobacco. The business man\nhas got the better of them, too. The luggage will cost less than\ntheir fares and very likely go for nothing. How is it that they\ndon't both see all that, or is it that they don't want to see? ^nd\nthey are pleased, pleased! And to think that this is only the first\nblossoming, and that the real fruits are to come! But what really\nmatters is not the stinginess, is not the meanness, but the tone\nof the whole thing. For that will be the tone after marriage,\nit's a foretaste of it. And mother too, why should she be so\nlavish? What will she have by the time she gets to Petersburg?\nThree silver roubles or two 'paper ones' as she says. . . . that old\nwoman . . . hm. What does she expect to live upon in Petersburg\nafterwards? She has her reasons already for guessing that she\ncould not live with Dounia after the marriage, even for the\nfirst few months. The good man has no doubt let slip something\non that subject also, though mother would deny it: 'I shall\nrefuse,' says she. On whom is she reckoning then? Is she count-\ning on what is left of her hundred and twenty roubles of pension\nwhen Afanasy Ivanovitch's debt is paid? She knits woollen\nshawls and embroiders cufFs, ruining her old eyes.
