I haven't yet decided whether to take\nthat money or not,\" he said, musing again; and, seeming to wake\nup with a start, he gave a brief ironical smile. \"Ach, what silly\nstuff I am talking, eh?\"\nThe thought flashed through Soma's mind, wasn't he mad?\nBut she dismissed it at once. \"No, it was something else.\" She\ncould make nothing of it, nothing.\n\"Do you know, Sonia,\" he said suddenly with conviction,\n\"let me tell you: if I'd simply killed because I was hungry,\"\nlaying stress on every word and looking enigmatically but sin-\ncerely ather, \"I should be happy now. You must believe that!\nWhat would it matter to you,\" he cried a moment later with\na sort of despair, \"what would it matter to you if I were to con-\nfess that I did wrong!

Ah, Sonia, was it for that I've come to you\nto-day?\"\n*Again Sonia tried to say something, but did not speak.\n\"I asked you to go with me yesterday because you are all\nI have left.\"\n\"Go where?\" asked Sonia timidly.\n\"Not to steal and not to murder, don't be anxious,\" he smiled\nbitterly. \"We are so different. . . . And you know, Sonia, It's\nonly now, only this moment that I understand where I asked you\nto go with me yesterday! Yesterday when I said it I did not\nknow where. I asked you for one thing, I came to you for one\nthing — not to leave me. You won't leave me, Sonia?\"\nShe squeezed his hand.\n\"And why, why did I tell her? Why did I let her know?\"\nhe cried a minute later in despair, looking with infinite anguish\nat her. \"Here you expect an explanation from me, Sonia; you\nare sitting and waiting for it, I see that. But what can I tell\nyou? You won't understand and will only suffer misery . . .\non my account! Well, you are crying and embracing me again.\nWhy do you do it? Because I couldn't bear my burden and\nhave come to throw it on another: you suffer too, and I shall\nfeel better! And can you love such a mean wretch?\"\n\"But aren't you suffering, too?\" cried Sonia.","text_extracted_at":"2026-01-20T15:30:36.582Z","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":"2026-01-20T15:30:37.581Z","ts":"2026-01-20T15:30:38.589Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFCZWTBNJH4WFMS8354919KY"}}
