But you are a great\nsinner, that's true,\" he added almost solemnly, \"and your worst\nsin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.\nIsn't that fearful? Isn't it fearful that you are living in this\nfilth which you loathe so, and at the same time you know your-\nself (you've only to open your eyes) that you are not helping\nany one by it, not saving any one from anything!

But he saw how monstrously the thought of\nher disgraceful, shameful position was torturing her and had\nlong tortured her. \"What, what,\" he thought, \"could hitherto\nhave hindered her from putting an end to it?\" Only then he\nrealised what those poor little orphan children and that pitiful\nhalf-crazy Katerina Ivanovna, knocking her head against the\nwall in her consumption, meant for Sonia.\nBut, nevertheless, it was clear to him again that with her\ncharacter and the amount of education she had after all received,\nshe could not in any case remain so. He was still confronted by\nthe question how could she have remained so long in that posi-\ntion without going out of her mind, since she could not bring\nherself to jump into the water?
