This sum (now I can explain it all to you, my precious\nRodya) she took chiefly in order to send you sixty roubles,\nwhich you needed so terribly then and which you received from\nus last year. We deceived you then, writing that this money\ncame from Dounia's savings, but that was not so, and now I tell\nyou all about it, because, thank God, things have suddenly\nchanged for the better, and that you may know how Dounia\nloves you and what a heart she has. At first indeed Mr, Svidrigai-\nlov treated her very rudely and used to make disrespectful and\njeering remarks at table. . . . But I don't want to go into all those\npainful details, so as not to worry you for nothing when it is\nnow all over. In short, in spite of the kind and generous be-\nhaviour ofMarfa Petrovna, Mr. Svidrigailov's wife, and all the\nrest of the household, Dounia had a very hard time, esp>ecially\nwhen Mr. Svidrigai'lov, relapsing into his old regimental habits,\nwas under the influence of Bacchus. And how do you think it\nwas all explained later on? Would you believe that the crazy\nfellow had conceived a passion for Dounia from the beginning,\nbut had concealed it under a show of rudeness and contempt.\nPossibly he was ashamed and horrified himself at his own flighty\nhopes, considering his years and his being the father of a family;\nand that made him angry with Dounia. And possibly, too, he\nhoped by his rude and sneering behaviour to hide the truth from\nothers. But at last he lost all control and had the face to make\nDounia an open and shameful proposal, promising her all sorts\nof inducements and offering, besides, to throw up everything\nand take her to another estate of his, or even abroad. You can\nimagine all she went through! To leave her situation at once was\nimpossible not only on account of the money debt, but also to\nspare the feelings of Marfa Petrovna, whose suspicions would\nhave been aroused; and then Dounia would have been the cause\nof a rupture in the family. And it would have meant a terrible\nscandal for Dounia too; that would have been inevitable. There\nwere various other reasons owing to which Dounia could not\nhope to escape from that awful house for another six weeks.\nYou know Dounia, of course; you know how clever she is and\n■yvhat a strong will she has.
