On an exceptionally hot evening, early in July, a young man came out of the garret.
| 83
| 6.85
|
|
five-storied house and was more like a cup board.
| 49
| 4.729
|
|
In spite of all the fastidiousness of youth,
| 44
| 3.716
|
|
he minded his rags least of all in the street.
| 46
| 4.56
|
|
when he met with acquaintances
| 30
| 4.239
|
|
or with former fellow students whom, indeed, he disliked meeting at any time.
| 77
| 6.055
|
|
who for some unknown reason was being taken somewhere in a huge wagon dragged by a heavy dray horse
| 99
| 8.181
|
|
as he drove past. Hey there, German hatter!
| 43
| 3.694
|
|
bowling at the top of his voice and pointing at him.
| 52
| 3.865
|
|
The young man stopped suddenly and clutched.
| 44
| 3.517
|
|
from Zimmermann's, but completely worn out.
| 43
| 3.243
|
|
rusty with age all torn and bespread
| 36
| 3.534
|
|
brimless and bent on one side
| 29
| 3.111
|
|
Not shame or heva, but quite another feeling akin to terror had overtaken him.
| 78
| 6.174
|
|
Why a stupid thing like this, the most trivial detail, might spoil the whole plan?
| 82
| 5.966
|
|
Yes, my heart is too noticeable.
| 32
| 3.162
|
|
It looks absurd and that makes it noticeable.
| 45
| 3.612
|
|
with Garrett, dinners and attendance.
| 37
| 3.005
|
|
any sort of old pancake, but not this grotesque thing.
| 54
| 4.628
|
|
it would be noticed a mile off it would be remembered
| 53
| 3.778
|
|
What matters is that people would remember it.
| 46
| 3.503
|
|
For this business one should be as little
| 41
| 3.356
|
|
conspicuous as possible.
| 24
| 3.408
|
|
Why? It's just such trifles that always ruin everything.
| 56
| 4.78
|
|
he knew indeed how many steps it was from the gate of his lodging-house exactly seven hundred and thirty
| 104
| 8.715
|
|
He had counted them once when he had been lost in dreams.
| 57
| 3.752
|
|
at the time he had put no faith in those dreams and was only
| 60
| 5.184
|
|
now a month later he had begun to look upon them you
| 52
| 4.097
|
|
and every time he went out he was obliged to pass her kitchen the door of which
| 79
| 5.668
|
|
come to regard this hideous dream as an exploit?
| 48
| 4.02
|
|
although he still did not realize this himself.
| 47
| 3.148
|
|
positively going now for a rehearsal of his project.
| 52
| 6.087
|
|
and that every step is excitement grew more and more violent.
| 61
| 4.787
|
|
with a sinking heart and a nervous tremor.
| 42
| 3.865
|
|
he went up to a huge house which on one side looked
| 51
| 4.71
|
|
on to the canal and on the other into the street.
| 49
| 3.898
|
|
This house was let out in teeny ten months.
| 43
| 3.042
|
|
and was inhabited by working people of all kinds.
| 49
| 4.163
|
|
tailors locksmiths cooks germans of sorts
| 41
| 4.076
|
|
girls picking up a living as best they could.
| 45
| 3.434
|
|
there was a continual coming and going through the two gates and in the two courtyards of the house
| 99
| 8.833
|
|
Three or four doorkeepers were employed on the building.
| 56
| 4.837
|
|
The young man was very glad to meet none of them.
| 49
| 3.383
|
|
and at once sleeped unnoticed.
| 30
| 3.187
|
|
It was a back staircase, dark and narrow.
| 41
| 3.465
|
|
but he was familiar with it already.
| 36
| 5.403
|
|
and knew his way and he liked all these surroundings in such darkness even the most inquisitive eyes
| 100
| 9.237
|
|
If I am so scared now, what would it be if it somehow came to pass?
| 67
| 8.731
|
|
that I were really going to do it.
| 34
| 3.081
|
|
not help asking himself as he reached the fourth story.
| 55
| 5.12
|
|
There his progress was bared.
| 29
| 3.026
|
|
by some porters who were engaged in moving furniture out of a flat.
| 67
| 6.104
|
|
he knew that the flat had been occupied by a german clerk
| 57
| 4.468
|
|
in the civil service and his family.
| 36
| 3.351
|
|
and sew the fourth floor on this staircase.
| 43
| 3.833
|
|
tenanted except by the old woman
| 32
| 4.019
|
|
That's a good thing anyway, he fought to himself.
| 49
| 3.269
|
|
as he rang the bell of the old woman's flat.
| 44
| 3.841
|
|
The bell gave a faint tinkle as though
| 38
| 4.202
|
|
It were made of tin and not of copper.
| 38
| 3.102
|
|
The little flats in such houses always have bells that ring like that.
| 70
| 5.623
|
|
and now its peculiar tinkle seemed to remind him of something and to bring it clearly before him.
| 97
| 7.822
|
|
He started, his nerves were terribly overstrained by now. In a little while,
| 76
| 6.11
|
|
The old woman eyed her visitor with evident distrust.
| 53
| 5.023
|
|
and nothing could be seen by her little eyes
| 44
| 3.301
|
|
in which he lodged in some place and walked slowly
| 50
| 3.681
|
|
which made him scorn and feel ashamed.
| 38
| 4.243
|
|
but seeing a number of people on the landing she grew bolder and opened the door wide
| 85
| 7.273
|
|
The young man stepped into the dark entry.
| 42
| 3.135
|
|
The old woman stood facing him in silence.
| 42
| 3.432
|
|
and looking inquiringly at him.
| 31
| 3.14
|
|
she was a diminutive wither up old woman of sessanta with sharp malignant eyes and a sharp little nose
| 102
| 8.703
|
|
he was hopelessly in debt to his landlady and was afraid of meeting her
| 71
| 6.625
|
|
air was thickly smeared with oil and she wore no
| 48
| 5.494
|
|
was knotted some sort of slanted rag and in spite of the heat
| 61
| 4.747
|
|
This was not because it was cowardly and abject.
| 48
| 4.632
|
|
slapping on her shoulders a mangy
| 33
| 3.377
|
|
the young man must have looked at her with a rather peculiar expression.
| 72
| 4.812
|
|
for a gleam of mistrust came into her eyes again.
| 49
| 4.077
|
|
Raskolnikov, a student I can hear a month ago.
| 46
| 4.095
|
|
remembering that he ought to be more polite.
| 44
| 4.089
|
|
I remember, my good sir, I remember quite well you coming here.
| 63
| 5.152
|
|
still keeping her inquiring eyes on his face.
| 45
| 3.812
|
|
And here I am again on the same around.
| 39
| 3.863
|
|
a little disconcerned and surprised at the old woman's mistrust.
| 64
| 5.296
|
|
but for some time past he had been in an overstrained irritable condition
| 73
| 6.07
|
|
then stepped on one side and pointing
| 37
| 4.081
|
|
to the door of the room she said letting her visitor pass in front of her
| 73
| 5.327
|
|
the little room into which the young man walked
| 47
| 3.442
|
|
geraniums and muslin curtains in the windows
| 44
| 4.828
|
|
was brightly lightened up at the moment by the setting sun.
| 59
| 4.234
|
|
So the sun will shine like this planet too.
| 43
| 3.674
|
|
slashed as it were by chance through Raskolnikov's mind.
| 56
| 4.702
|
|
and with a rapid glance he scorned everything in the room.
| 58
| 3.542
|
|
trying as far as possible to notice and remember its arrangement.
| 65
| 4.253
|
|
but there was nothing special in the room the furniture all very old
| 68
| 4.843
|
|
consisted of a sofa with a huge bank wooden back,
| 49
| 3.833
|
|
In the corner, a light was burning before a small economy.
| 58
| 4.338
|
|
was very clean the floor and the furniture were brightly polished everything showed
| 83
| 6.178
|
|
there was not a speck of dust to be seen in the whole flat.
