Perhaps, too, even now I am hiding something from you?\nI can't lay bare everything, he-he! And how can you ask what\nidvantage? Don't you know how it would lessen your sentence?\ni^ou would be confessing at a moment when another man has\ntaken the crime on himself and so has muddled the whole case.\nConsider that! I swear before God that I will so arrange that\nyour confession shall come as a complete surprise. We will make\na clean sweep of all these psychological points, of all suspicion\nagainst you, so that your crime will appear to have been some-\nthing like an aberration, for in truth it was an aberration. I am\nan honest man, Rodion Romanovitch, and will keep my word.\"Raskolnikov maintained a mournful silence and let his head\nsink dejectedly. He pondered a long while and at last smiled\nagain, but his smile was sad and gentle.\n\"No!\" he said, apparently abandoning all attempt to keep up\nappearances with Porfiry, \"it's not worth it, I don't care about\nlessening the sentence!\"\n\"That's just what I was afraid of!\" Porfiry cried warmly and,\nas it seemed, involuntarily. \"That's just what I feared, that you\nwouldn't care about the mitigation of sentence.\"\nRaskolnikov looked sadly and expressively at him.\n\"Ah, don't disdain life!\" Porfiry went on. \"You have a great\ndeal of it still before you. How can you say you don't want a\nmitigation of sentence? You are an impatient fellow!\"\n\"A great deal of what lies before me?\"\n\"Of life. What sort of prophet are you, do you know much\nabout it? Seek and ye shall find. This may be God's means for\nbringing you to Him. And it's not for ever, the bondage. .. . .'*\n\"The time will be shortened,\" laughed Raskolnikov.\n\"Why, is it the bourgeois disgrace you are afraid of? It may\nbe that you are afraid of it without knowing it, because you are\nyoung! But anyway you shouldn't be afraid of giving yourself\nup and confessing.\"\n\"Ach, hang it!\" Raskolnikov whispered with loathing and\ncontempt, as though he did not want to speak aloud.\nHe got up again as though he meant to go away, but sat\ndown again in evident despair.\n\"Hang it, if you like! You've lost faith and you think that\nI am grossly flattering you; but how long has your life been?","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":"2026-01-20T15:31:12.762Z","ts":"2026-01-20T15:31:14.021Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFCZWTBNJH4WFMS8354919KY"}}
