t he murder anyone?
l'm ready to bet he'll murder someone.
Maybe he won't take your money
for conscience' sake
but he'll come at night
and murder you
and take the money out of your cash box.
He'll take it for conscience' sake.
That's not dishonest to him,
it's an outburst of noble indignation.
lt's a protest or goodness knows what.
Tfoo!
Everything is topsy-turvy.
Everything is upside down.
We demand, we don't ask.
And you'll get no gratitude from us
because you're acting for the satisfaction
of his own conscience.
Queer sort of reasoning.
So if he'll get no gratitude
from you
the prince may tell you in answer
he feels no gratitude
to Pavlicheff.
Because to Pavlicheff too did good
for the satisfaction
of his own conscience.
Lunatics.
They don't believe in God.
They don't believe in Christ.
You'll end
by eating up one another.
That's what l prophesy.
What are you laughing at?
Maman, this is shameful.
Don't worry yourself, Aglaya lvanovna.
Don't worry yourself.
Your maman will see she cannot
attack a dying man.
l'm ready to explain why l laughed.
He's dying, yet he must hold firth.
You aren't fit for talking.
You simply ought to go and lie down.
So l will.
l'll die in fortnight.
Dr.Botkin himself told me so
a week ago.
So if you allow me, l should like to say
two words to you at parting.
Are you crazy? Nonsense.
Think.
This is the last time
l'll be out in the air with people.
And in a fortnight l'll certainly be underground.
So that this
will be like a farewell
to men and to nature.
l'm glad all this has
happened at Pavlovsk.
One can see the trees in leaf anyway.
Good heavens!
l was positively on the point of striking him.
Aglaya lvanovna, your daughter,
held your back.
l'm not mistaken, am l?
Let me at least look at a beautiful woman
for the last time in my life.
A chair.
Colia.
- Sit down.
- Colia.
You must go with him at once,
take him.
And tomorrow l'll certainly.
-And do you know?
Do you know, Lizabetha Prokofievna,
you meant to take prince back
to tea with you.
Stay here and the prince
will give us all tea.
Yes.
Excuse my arranging it all.
l know you're good-natured. The prince too.
You're all ridiculously
good-natured people
Don't get excited.
You've softened my heart.
Prince.
You don't deserve.
l should drink tea with you.
But so be it, l'll stay.
Though l'm not going to apologies to anyone.
-Vera.
- Not to any one.
l've learned to hold in high respect you,
Lizabetha Prokofievna.
l've heard of you very often.
Colia told.
And l hold you in high respect.
He's feeling awkward. l thought he would.
lt's useless.
lt's a sure sign
now he'll
do something
out of spite eccentric.
lt'll be to much for even Lizabetha Prokofievna,
perhaps.
-You seem feverish.
-What are you saying me?
-Yes. l'm not well.
- Prince.
He was saying this clown
your landlord,
corrected the article
for this gentleman.
Why don't you speak?
Well, l see now
he did.
l'm a poor creature.
-A poor creature. What do l care.
He thinks he'll get out of it
by saying he's a poor creature.
Are you not ashamed, prince, to do with
such people.
Although he did suggest
kicking us downstairs,
l confess,
l really did apply to him
and offered him six roubles.
Not for correct the style,
but simply to give me facts..
l must observe,
l only corrected
the first half of the article
but as we didn't agree in the middle
and quarreled over one idea
l didn't correct
the second half.
So that it's bad grammar in there,
it's bad grammar
so that mustn't be set down to me.
A nice set of people.
l'll keep in mind.
Darling, have you
put me here to bee a laughing-stock.
God forbid.
What strikes me
is your eccentricity,
Lizabetha Prokofievna.
l led up the conversation to Lebedeff on purpose.
l knew the effect this would have on you only
because the prince will forgive it
and has probably forgiven it already.
Maybe he has found an excuse
in his
