Listen! I'll explain it all in detail to you, the whole project!\nIt all flashed into my head this morning, before anything had\nhappened. ... I tell you what; I have an uncle, I must intro-\nduce him to you (a most accommodating and respectable old\nman) . This uncle has got a capital of a thousand roubles, and\nhe lives on his pension and has no need of that money. For the\nlast two years he has been bothering me to borrow it from\nhim and pay him six per cent, interest. I know what that means;\nhe sipiply wants to help me. Last year I had no need of it, but\nthis year I resolved to borrow it as soon as he arrived. Then you\nlend me another thousand of your three and we have enough\nfor a start, so we'll go into partnership, and what are we going\nto do?\"\nThen Razumihin began to unfold his project, and he ex-\nplained atlength that almost all oiu* publishers and booksellers\nknow nothing at all of what they are selling, and for that reason\nthey are usually bad publishers, and that any decent publications\npay as a rule and give a profit, sometimes a considerable one.\nRazumihin had, indeed, been dreaming of setting up as a pub-\nlisher. For the last two years he had been working in publishers*\noffices, and knew three European languages wtell, though he\nhad told Raskolnikov six days before that he was \"schwach\" in\nGerman with an object of persuading him to take half his trans-\nlation and half the payment for it. He had told a lie, then, and\nRaskolnikov knew he was lying.\n\"Why, why should we let our chance slip when we have\none of the chief means of success — money of our own!\" cried\nRazumihin warmly. \"Of course there will be a lot of work, but\nwe will work, you, Avdotya Romanovna, I, Rodion. . . . You get\na splendid profit on some books nowadays! And the great point\nof the business is that we shall know just what wants translat-\ning, and we shall be translating, publishing, learning all at once.\nI can be of use because ^ have experience. For nearly two years\nI've been scuttling about among the publishers, and now I Icnow\nevery detail of their business. You need not be a saint to make\npots, believe me! And why, why should we let our chance slip!\nWhy, I know — and I kept the secret — two or three books\nwhich one might get a hundred roubles simply for thinking of\ntranslating and publishing. Indeed, and I would not take five\nhundred for the very idea of one of them.
