All the doc-\ntrines, the ideas, the systems with which Andrey Semyonovitch\npestered him had no interest for him. He had his own object —\nhe simply wanted to find out at once what was happening here.\nHad these people any power or not? Had he anything to fear\nfrom them? Would they expose any enterprise of his? And\nwhat precisely was now the object of their attacks? Could he\nsomehow make up to them and get round them if they really\nwere powerful? Was this the thing to do or not? Couldn't he\ngain something through them? In fact hundreds of questions\npresented themselves.\nAndrey Semyonovitch was an anxmic, scrofulous little man,\nwith strangely flaxen mutton-chop whiskers of which he was\nvery proud.

This happened on both sides\nunconsciously. However simple Andrey Semyonovitch might\nbe, he began to see that Pyotr Petrovitch was duping him and\nsecretly despising him, and that \"he was not the right sort of\nman.\" He had tried expounding to him the system of Fou-\nrier and the Darwinian theory, but of late Pyotr Petrovitch be-\ngan to listen too sarcastically and even to be rude. The fact was\nhe had begun instinctively to guess that Lebeziatnikov was not\nmerely a commonplace simpleton, but, perhaps, a liar, too, and\nthat he had no connections of any consequence even in his own\ncircle, but had simply picked things up third-hand; and that","text_extracted_at":"2026-01-20T15:32:31.903Z","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":"2026-01-20T15:32:32.560Z","ts":"2026-01-20T15:32:33.509Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFCZWTBNJH4WFMS8354919KY"}}
