Well, what could I answer, especially as your story\nis a more likely one than his, for there's nothing but psychology\nto support his evidence — that's almost unseemly with his ugly\nmug, while you hit the mark exactly, for the rascal is an invet-\nerate drunkard and notoriously so. And I have myself admitted\ncandidly several times already that that psychology can be\ntaken in two ways and that the second way is stronger and\nlooks far more probable, and that apart from that I have as\nyet nothing against you. And though I shall put you in prison\nand indeed have come — quite contrary to etiquette — to inform\nyou of it beforehand, yet I tell you frankly, also contrary to\netiquette, that it won't be to my advantage. Well, secondly,\nI've come to you because . . .\"\n\"Yes, yes, secondly?\" Raskolnikov was listening breathless.\n\"Because, as I told you just now, I consider I owe you an ex-\nplanation. Idon't want you to look upon me as a monster, as I\nhave a genuine liking for you, you may believe me or not. And\nin the third place I've come to you with a direct and open\nprojwsition — that you should surrender and confess. It will\nbe infinitely more to your advantage and to my advantage too,\nfor my task will be done. Well, is this open on my part or not?\"\nRaskolnikov thought a minute.\n\"Listen, Porfiry Petrovitch. You said just now you have\nnothing but psychology to go on, yet now you've gone on to\nmathematics. Well, what if you are mistaken yourself, now?\"\n\"No, Rodion Romanovitch, I am not mistaken. I have a\nlittle fact even then, providence sent it me.\"\n\"What little fact?\"\n\"I won't tell you what, Rodion Romanovitch. And in any\ncase, I haven't the right to put it off any longer, I must arrest\nyou. So think it over: it makes no difference to me now and so\nI speak only for your sake. Believe me, it will be better, Rodion\nRomanovitch.\"\nRaskolnikov smiled malignantly.\n\"That's not simply ridiculous, it's positively shameless. Why,\neven if I were guilty, which I don't admit, what reason should\nI have to confess, when you tell me yourself that I shall be in\ngreater safety in prison?\"\n\"Ah, Rodion Romanovitch, don't put too much faith yd\nwords, perhaps prison will not be altogether a restful place.","text_extracted_at":"2026-01-20T15:31:11.965Z","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":"2026-01-20T15:31:12.809Z","ts":"2026-01-20T15:31:14.039Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFCZWTBNJH4WFMS8354919KY"}}
