And why, why shovdd he live after\nthat? Why should he go now when he knew that it would be so?\nIt was the hundredth time perhaps that he had asked himself\nthat question since the previous evening, but still he went.\nCHAPTER VIII\nWhen he went into Soma's room, it was already getting dark.\nAll day Sonia had been waiting for him in terrible anxiety.\nDounia had been waiting with her.
