So she is building all her hopes\nall the time on Mr. Luzhin's generosity; 'he will offer it of him-\nself, hewill press it on me.' You may wait a long time for that!\nThat's how it always is with these Schilleresque noble hearts;\ntill the last moment every goose is a swan with them, till the\nlast moment, they hope for the best and will see nothing wrong,\nand although they have an inkling of the other side of the pic-\nture, yet they won't face the truth till they are forced to; the\nvery thought of it makes them shiver; they thrust the truth\naway with both hands, until the man they deck out in false\ncolours puts a fool's cap on them with his own hands. I should\nlike to know whether Mr. Luzhin has any orders of merit; I bet\nhe has the Anna in his buttonhole and that he puts it on when\nhe goes to dine with contractors or merchants. He will be sure to\nhave it for his wedding, too! Enough. of him, confound him!\n\"Well, . . . mother I don't wonder at, it's like her, God bless\nher, but how could Dounia? Dounia, darling, as though I did\nnot know you! You were nearly twenty when I saw you last:\nI understood you then. Mother writes that 'Dounia can put up\nwith a great deal.' I know that very well. I knew that two years\nand a half ago, and for the last two and a half years I have\nbeen thinking about it, thinking of just that, that 'Dounia can\nput up with a great deal.' If she could put up with Mr. Svidri-\ngai'lov and all the rest of it, she certainly can put up with a greatdeal. And now mother and she have taken it into their heads\nthat she can put up with Mr. Luzhin, who propounds the theory\nof the superiority of wives raised from destitution and owing\neverything to their husbands' bounty — who propounds it, too,\nalmost at the first interview. Granted that he 'let it slip,' though\nhe is a sensible man, (yet maybe it was not a slip at all, but he\nmeant to make himself clear as soon as possible) but Dounia,\nDounia? She understands the man, of course, but she will have\nto live with the man. Why! she'd live on black bread and water,\nshe would not sell her soul, she would not barter her moral\nfreedom for comfort; she would not barter it for all Schleswig-\nHolstein, much less Mr. Luzhin's money. No, Dounia was not\nthat sort when I knew her and . . . she is still the same, of course!\nYes, there's no denying, the Svidrigailovs are a bitter pill! It's\na bitter thing to spend one's life a governess in the provinces","text_extracted_at":"2026-01-20T15:28:52.941Z","text_extracted_by":"pdf-processor","text_has_content":true,"text_source":"born_digital","uploaded":true},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KFCZZ05FKVDDMJJV3YE9Q4WH","peer_label":"crimepunishment00dostiala.pdf","peer_type":"file","predicate":"derived_from"},{"peer":"01KESYJX0Z6XE0HWTS5N3SDG0B","peer_label":"The Classics","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"}],"ver":2,"created_at":"2026-01-20T15:28:54.001Z","ts":"2026-01-20T15:28:55.173Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFCZWTBNJH4WFMS8354919KY"}}
