He opened\nthe letter at last, still with the same look of strange wonder on\nhis face. Then, slowly and attentively, he began reading, and\nread it through twice. Pulcheria Alexandrovna showed marked\nanxiety, and all indeed expected something particular.\n\"What surprises me,\" he began, after a short pause, handing\nthe letter to his mother, but not addressing any one in particular,\n\"is that he is a business man, a lawyer, and his conversation is\npretentious indeed, and yet he writes such an uneducated letter.\"\nThey all started. They had expected something quite dif-\nferent.\n\"But they all write like that, you know,\" Razumihin ob-\nserved, abruptly.\n\"Have you read it?\"\n\"Yes.\"\n\"We showed him, Rodya. We . . . consulted him just now,\"\nPulcheria Alexandrovna began, embarrassed.\n\"That's just the jargon of the courts,\" Razumihin put in.\n\"Legal documents are written like that to this day.\"\n\"Legal? Yes, it's just legal — business language — not so very\nuneducated, and not quite educated — business language!\"\n\"Py6tr Petrovitch makes no secret of the fact that he had\na cheap education, he is proud indeed of having made his own\nway,\" Avdotya Romanovna observed, somewhat offended by\nher brother's tone.\n\"Well, if he's proud of it, he has reason, I don't deny it. You\nseem to be oflFended, sister, at my making only such a frivolous\ncriticism on the letter, and to think that I speak of such trifling\nmatters on purpose to annoy you. It is quite the contrary, an\nobservation apropos of the style occurred to me that is by no\nmeans irrelevant as things stand. There is one expression, 'blame\nyourselves' put in very significantly and plainly, and there is\nbesides a threat that he will go away at once if I am present.\nThat threat to go away is equivalent to a threat to abandon you\nboth if you are disobedient, and to abandon you now after\nsummoning you to Petersburg. Well, what do you think? Can\none resent such an expression from Luzhin, as we should if he\n(he pointed to Razumihin) had written it, or Zossimov, or one\nof us?\"","text_extracted_at":"2026-01-20T15:31:52.736Z","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":"2026-01-20T15:31:56.821Z","ts":"2026-01-20T15:31:58.218Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFCZWTBNJH4WFMS8354919KY"}}
