All this suggested an idea to Pyotr Petro-\nvitch and he went into his room, or rather Lebeziatnikov's,\nsomewhat thoughtful. He had learnt that Raskolnikov was to\nbe one of the guests.\nAndrey Semyonovitch had been at home all the morning.\nThe attitude of Pyotr Petrovitch to this gentleman was strange,\nthough perhaps natural. Pyotr Petrovitch had despised and\nhated him from the day he came to stay with him and at the\nsame time he seemed somewhat afraid of him. He had not\ncome to stay with him on his arrival in Petersburg simply from\nparsimony, though that had been perhaps his chief object. He\nhad heard of Andrey Semyonovitch, who had once been his\nward, as a leading young progressive who was taking an im-\nportant part in certain interesting circles, the doings of which\nwere a legend in the provinces. It had impressed Pyotr Petro-\nvitch. These powerful omniscient circles who despised every\none and showed every one up had long inspired in him a peculiar\nbut quite vague alarm. He had not, of course, been able to form\neven an approximate notion of what they meant. He, like every\none, had heard that there were, especially in Petersburg, pro-\ngressives ofsome sort, nihilists and so on, and, like many people,\nhe exaggerated and distorted the significance of those words\nto an absurd degree. What for many years past he had feared\nmore than anything was being shown up and this was the chief\nground for his continual uneasiness at the thought of trans-\nferring hisbusiness to Petersburg. He was afraid of this as Httle\nchildren are sometimes panic-stricken. Some years before, when\nhe was just entering on his own career, he had come upon two\ncases in which rather important personages in the province,\npatrons of his, had been cruelly shown up. One instance had\nended in great scandal for the person attacked and the other\nhad very nearly ended in serious trouble. For this reason Pyotr\nPetrovich intended to go into the subject as soon as he reached\nPetersburg and, if necessary, to anticipate contingencies by\nseeking the favour of \"our younger generation.\" He relied on\nAndrey Semyonovitch for this and before his visit to Raskolni-\nkov he had succeeded in picking up some current phrases.
