Speaker 1: Chapter thirty eight of The Brothers Karamatsev, translated by Constance Garnet.
0:10
Speaker 1: This LibriVox recording is in the public domain recording by
0:16
Speaker 1: Tony Addison, Chapter six. For a while a very obscure
0:24
Speaker 1: one and Ivan, on parting from Alyosha, went home to
0:32
Speaker 1: Fyodor Pavlovitch's house. But strange to say, he was overcome
0:39
Speaker 1: by insufferable depression, which grew greater at every step he took.
0:45
Speaker 2: Towards the house.
0:47
Speaker 1: There was nothing strange in his being depressed. What was
0:52
Speaker 1: strange was that Ivan could not have said what was
0:56
Speaker 1: the cause of it. He had often been depressed by
1:01
Speaker 1: and there was nothing surprising at his feelings. So at
1:04
Speaker 1: such a moment, when he had broken off with everything
1:08
Speaker 1: that had brought him here and was preparing that day
1:12
Speaker 1: to make a new start and enter upon a new,
1:15
Speaker 1: unknown future, he would again be as solitary as ever.
1:21
Speaker 2: And though he had.
1:22
Speaker 1: Great hopes and great two great expectations from life, he
1:29
Speaker 1: could not have given any definite account of his hopes,
1:33
Speaker 1: his expectations, or even his desires. Yet at that moment,
1:43
Speaker 1: though the apprehension of the new and unknown certainly found
1:47
Speaker 1: place in his heart, what was worrying him was something
1:52
Speaker 1: quite different. Is it loathing for my father's house?
1:58
Speaker 2: He wondered.
1:59
Speaker 1: Quite likely, I am so sick of it, and though
2:03
Speaker 1: it's the last time I shall cross its hateful threshold,
2:06
Speaker 1: still I loathe it.
2:09
Speaker 2: No, it's not that either.
2:12
Speaker 1: Is it the parting with Alyosha and the conversation I
2:15
Speaker 1: had with him? For so many years, I've been silent
2:21
Speaker 1: with the whole world and not deigned to speak, and
2:25
Speaker 1: all of a sudden I reel up a rigmarole like that.
2:30
Speaker 1: It certainly might have been the youthful vexation of youthful
2:35
Speaker 1: inexperience and vanity, vexation at having failed to express himself,
2:42
Speaker 1: especially with such a being as Alyosha, on whom his
2:47
Speaker 1: heart had certainly been reckoning. No doubt that came in
2:53
Speaker 1: that vexation. It must have done, indeed. But yet that
2:58
Speaker 1: was not it. That was not it either. I feel
3:03
Speaker 1: sick with depression, and yet I can't tell what I want.
3:09
Speaker 1: Better not think, Perhaps, Ivan tried not to think, but
3:17
Speaker 1: that too was no use. What made is depression so
3:22
Speaker 1: vexatious and irritating was that it had a kind of
3:27
Speaker 1: casual external character. He felt that some person or thing
3:35
Speaker 1: seemed to be standing out somewhere, just as something will
3:41
Speaker 1: sometimes obtrude itself upon the eye, and though one may
3:46
Speaker 1: be so busy with work or conversation that for a
3:50
Speaker 1: long time one does not notice it, yet it irritates
3:56
Speaker 1: and almost torments one till at last one realized and
4:01
Speaker 1: removes the offending object, often quite a trifling and ridiculous one.
4:08
Speaker 2: Some article left.
4:10
Speaker 1: About in the wrong place, handkerchief on the floor, a
4:15
Speaker 1: book not replaced on the shelf, and so on. At last,
4:21
Speaker 1: feeling very cross and ill humored, Ivan arrived home and suddenly,
4:28
Speaker 1: about fifteen paces from the garden gate he guessed what
4:33
Speaker 1: was fretting and worrying him. On a bench in the gateway,
4:40
Speaker 1: the valets Smadyakov was sitting enjoying the coolness of the evening,
4:47
Speaker 1: and at the first glance at him, Ivan knew that
4:52
Speaker 1: the Valet smurd Diacov was on his mind, and that
4:56
Speaker 1: it was this man that his soul oathed. It all
5:02
Speaker 1: dawned upon him suddenly and became clear. Just before, when
5:09
Speaker 1: Alyosha had been telling him of his meeting with Smadayakov,
5:14
Speaker 1: he had felt a sudden twinge of gloom and loathing
5:18
Speaker 1: which had immediately stirred responsive anger in his heart. Afterwards,
5:25
Speaker 1: as he talked Sma Dyakov had been forgotten for the time,
5:31
Speaker 1: but still he had been in his mind, and as
5:34
Speaker 1: soon as Ivan parted with Alyosha and was walking home,
5:39
Speaker 1: the forgotten sensation began to obtrude itself again. Is it
5:46
Speaker 1: possible that a miserable, contemptible creature like that can worry
5:51
Speaker 1: me so much? He wondered with insupperable irritation. It was
5:58
Speaker 1: true that Ivan had come of late to feel an
6:03
Speaker 1: intense dislike for the man, especially during the last few days.
6:09
Speaker 1: He had even begun to notice in himself a growing
6:14
Speaker 1: feeling that was almost.
6:16
Speaker 2: Of hatred for the creature.
6:19
Speaker 1: Perhaps this hatred was accentuated by the fact that when
6:25
Speaker 1: Ivan first came to the neighborhood he had felt quite differently.
6:30
Speaker 2: Then he had taken a marked.
6:32
Speaker 1: Interest in Smadiaka and had even thought him very original.
6:39
Speaker 1: He had encouraged him to talk to him, although he
6:43
Speaker 1: had always wondered at a certain incoherence, or rather restlessness
6:48
Speaker 1: in his mind, and could not understand what it was
6:52
Speaker 1: that so continually and insistently worked upon the brain of
6:58
Speaker 1: the contemplative. They discussed philosophical questions, and even how there
7:06
Speaker 1: could have been liked on the first day when the sun,
7:10
Speaker 1: moon and stars were only created on the fourth day,
7:14
Speaker 1: and how that was to be understood. But Ivan soon
7:19
Speaker 1: saw that though the sun, moon and stars might be
7:24
Speaker 1: an interesting subject, yet that it was quite secondary to Smerdyakov,
7:30
Speaker 1: and that he was looking for something altogether different. In
7:35
Speaker 1: one way and another. He began to betray a boundless
7:39
Speaker 1: vanity and a wounded vanity too, and that Ivan disliked
7:46
Speaker 1: it had first given rise to his aversion. Later on
7:51
Speaker 1: there had been trouble in the house, Grushenka had come
7:55
Speaker 1: on the scene, and there had been the scandals with
7:59
Speaker 1: his brother Dmitri. They discussed that too, But though Smerdyakov
8:05
Speaker 1: always talked of that with great excitement, it was impossible
8:10
Speaker 1: to discover what he desired to come of it. There was,
8:14
Speaker 1: in fact, something surprising in the illogicality and incoherence of
8:22
Speaker 1: some of his desires. Accidentally betrayed and always vaguely express
8:30
Speaker 1: Smerdyakov was always inquiring, putting certain indirect but obviously premeditated questions,
8:42
Speaker 1: but what his object was he did not explain, and
8:46
Speaker 1: usually at the most important moment he would break off
8:51
Speaker 1: and relapse into silence or pass to another subject. But
8:56
Speaker 1: what finally irritated Ivan most and confirmed his dislike for him,
9:03
Speaker 1: was the peculiar, revolting familiarity which Smerdyakov began to show
9:10
Speaker 1: more and more markedly. Not that he forgot himself and
9:15
Speaker 1: was rude. On the contrary, he always spoke very respectfully,
9:22
Speaker 1: yet he had obviously begun to consider, goodness knows why,
9:28
Speaker 1: that there was some sort of understanding between him and
9:32
Speaker 1: Ivan Fyodorovitch. He always spoke in a tone that suggested
9:39
Speaker 1: that those two had some kind of compact, some secret
9:44
Speaker 1: between them that had at some time been expressed on
9:49
Speaker 1: both sides, only known to them and beyond the comprehension
9:55
Speaker 1: of those around them.
9:57
Speaker 2: But but a long while Ivan did.
10:00
Speaker 1: Not recognize the real cause of his growing a spike,
10:03
Speaker 1: and he had only lately realized what was at the
10:06
Speaker 1: root of it. With a feeling of disgust and irritation,
10:12
Speaker 1: he tried to pass in at the gate without speaking
10:16
Speaker 1: or looking at Smaddyakov. But Smaddyakov rose from the bench,
10:22
Speaker 1: and from that action alone Ivan knew instantly that he
10:28
Speaker 1: wanted particularly to talk to him. Ivan looked at him
10:33
Speaker 1: and stopped, and the fact that he did stop instead
10:38
Speaker 1: of passing by as he meant to the minute before,
10:42
Speaker 1: drove him to fury with anger and repulsion. He looked
10:48
Speaker 1: at Smaddyakov's emasculate, sickly face with the little curls combed
10:54
Speaker 1: forward on his forehead. His left eye winked and he grinned,
11:00
Speaker 1: as if to say, where are you going?
11:03
Speaker 2: You won't pass by?
11:05
Speaker 1: You see that we two clever people have something to
11:08
Speaker 1: say to each other. Ivan shook get away, miserable idiot,
11:16
Speaker 1: What have I to do with you? Was on the
11:19
Speaker 1: tip of his tongue. But to his profound astonishment, he
11:24
Speaker 1: heard himself say, is my father still asleep? Or has
11:29
Speaker 1: he waked? He asked the question softly and meekly, to
11:34
Speaker 1: his own surprise, and at once again, to his own surprise,
11:41
Speaker 1: sat down on the bench. For an instant he felt
11:46
Speaker 1: almost frightened. He remembered it.
11:48
Speaker 2: Afterwards.
11:50
Speaker 1: Smerdyakov stood facing him, his hands behind his back, looking
11:56
Speaker 1: at him with assurance and almost severity. His honor is
12:03
Speaker 1: still asleep, he articulated deliberately. You were the first to speak,
12:10
Speaker 1: not I, he seemed to say, I am surprised at
12:15
Speaker 1: you sir, he added, after a pause, dropping his eyes affectedly,
12:22
Speaker 1: setting his right foot forward and playing with the tip
12:27
Speaker 1: of his polished boot.
12:29
Speaker 2: Why are you surprised at me?
12:32
Speaker 1: Ivan asked abruptly and sullenly, doing his utmost to restrain himself,
12:38
Speaker 1: and suddenly realizing with disgust that he was feeling intense
12:44
Speaker 1: curiosity and would not, on any account have gone away
12:49
Speaker 1: without satisfying it. Why don't you go to church? Mashnia, Sir.
12:57
Speaker 2: Smiled.
12:58
Speaker 1: Dayakov suddenly raised his eyes and smiled familiarly. Why I smile?
13:05
Speaker 1: You must understand of yourself if you are a clever man,
13:10
Speaker 1: His screwed up left eye seemed to say, why should
13:17
Speaker 1: I go to church? Mashnya, Ivan asked in surprise. Smerdyakov
13:25
Speaker 1: was silent again. Fayoto Pavlovitch himself has so begged you to,
13:34
Speaker 1: he said at last, slowly and apparently attaching no significance
13:41
Speaker 1: to his answer. I put you off with a secondary reason,
13:47
Speaker 1: he seemed to suggest, simply to say something. Damn you
13:55
Speaker 1: speak out what you want, Ivan cried angrily at last,
14:01
Speaker 1: passing from meekness to violence. Smuddyakov drew his right foot
14:08
Speaker 1: up to his leap pulled himself up, but still looked
14:12
Speaker 1: at him with the same serenity and the same little smile.
14:19
Speaker 1: Substantially nothing, but just by way of conversation. Another silence followed.
14:31
Speaker 1: They did not speak for nearly a minute.
14:35
Speaker 2: Yerne knew that he.
14:37
Speaker 1: Ought to get up and show anger, and smud Dyakov
14:41
Speaker 1: stood before him and seemed to be waiting, as though
14:45
Speaker 1: to see whether he would be angry or not. So
14:49
Speaker 1: at least it seemed to have van At last he
14:53
Speaker 1: moved to get up. Smuddyakov seemed to seize the moment.
14:59
Speaker 1: I'm in an awful position, Ivan Fyodorovitch. I don't know
15:04
Speaker 1: how to help myself, he said resolutely anddistinctly, And at.
15:12
Speaker 2: His last word he sighed.
15:16
Speaker 1: Ivan Fyodorovitch sat down again. They are both utterly crazy.
15:22
Speaker 1: They are no better than little children. Smerdyakov went on,
15:28
Speaker 1: I am speaking of your parent and your brother, Dmitri Fyodorovitch.
15:33
Speaker 1: Here Fyodor Pavlovitch will get up directly and begin worrying me.
15:39
Speaker 1: Every minute has she come, Why hasn't she come? And
15:45
Speaker 1: so on, up till midnight and even after midnight. And
15:49
Speaker 1: if Agrafena Alexandrovna doesn't come for very likely she does
15:55
Speaker 1: not mean to come at till then he will be
15:59
Speaker 1: at me again tomorrow morning.
16:01
Speaker 2: Why hasn't she come?
16:03
Speaker 1: When will she come?
16:06
Speaker 2: As though I.
16:07
Speaker 1: Were to blame for it. On the other side, it's
16:11
Speaker 1: no better. As soon as it gets dark, or even before,
16:16
Speaker 1: your brother will appear with his gun in his hands.
16:20
Speaker 2: Look out your rogue, you soup maker.
16:24
Speaker 1: If you miss her and don't let me know she's been,
16:27
Speaker 1: I'll kill you before anyone when the night's over. In
16:34
Speaker 1: the morning, he too, like byo door, Pablo bitch, begins
16:39
Speaker 1: worrying me to death. Why hasn't she come? Will she
16:45
Speaker 1: come soon? And he too thinks me to blame because
16:50
Speaker 1: his lady hasn't come. And every day and every hour
16:56
Speaker 1: they get angrier and angrier, so that I sometimes think
17:01
Speaker 1: I shall kill myself.
17:02
Speaker 2: And upright I can't depend upon them, sir, And why
17:08
Speaker 2: have you meddled?
17:09
Speaker 1: Why did you begin to spy for Dmitri Fyodorovitch said
17:14
Speaker 1: Ivan irritably. How could I help meddling? Though indeed I
17:20
Speaker 1: haven't meddled at all, if you want to know the
17:23
Speaker 1: truth of the matter. I kept quiet from the very beginning,
17:28
Speaker 1: not daring to answer. But he pitched on me to
17:32
Speaker 1: be his servant. He has had only one thing to say,
17:37
Speaker 1: since I'll kill you, you scoundrel, if.
17:42
Speaker 2: You miss her.
17:44
Speaker 1: I feel certain, sir, that I shall have a long
17:48
Speaker 1: fit tomorrow. What do you mean by a long fit?
17:54
Speaker 1: A long fit lasting a long time, several hours or
18:02
Speaker 1: perhaps a day or two. Once it went on for
18:06
Speaker 1: three days, I fell from the garret. That time the
18:10
Speaker 1: struggling ceased and then began again, And for three days
18:16
Speaker 1: I couldn't come back to my senses. Fayodor Pavlovitch sent
18:21
Speaker 1: for Hudson Stubert, the doctor here, and he put ice
18:26
Speaker 1: on my head and tried another remedy too. I might
18:31
Speaker 1: have died, But they say one can't tell with epilepsy
18:37
Speaker 1: when of Fitty's coming. What makes you say you will
18:40
Speaker 1: have one to morrow? Ivan inquired, with a peculiar, irritable curiosity.
18:49
Speaker 1: That's just so you can't tell beforehand. Besides, you fell
18:57
Speaker 1: from the garret. Then I climb up to the garret
19:01
Speaker 1: every day. I might fall from the garret again tomorrow,
19:08
Speaker 1: and if not, I might fall down the cellar steps.
19:14
Speaker 1: I have to go into the cellar every day too.
19:19
Speaker 1: Ivane took a long look at him. You are talking nonsense,
19:26
Speaker 1: I see, and I don't quite understand you, he said, softly,
19:35
Speaker 1: but with a sort of menace. Do you mean to
19:39
Speaker 1: pretend to be.
19:41
Speaker 2: Ill tomorrow for three days?
19:44
Speaker 1: And Smadiako, who was looking at the ground again and
19:51
Speaker 1: playing with the toe of his right foot, sut the
19:55
Speaker 1: foot down, moved the left one forward, and and grinning, articulated,
20:05
Speaker 1: if I were able to play such a trick, that is,
20:10
Speaker 1: pretend to have a fit, and it would not be
20:15
Speaker 1: difficult for a man accustomed to them, I should have
20:21
Speaker 1: a perfect right to use such a means to save
20:25
Speaker 1: myself from death. For even if Agrafena Alexandrovna comes to
20:32
Speaker 1: see his father while I am ill, his honor can't
20:38
Speaker 1: blame a sick man for not telling him he'd be
20:43
Speaker 1: ashamed to hang it or even cried his face working
20:53
Speaker 1: with anger. Why are you always in such a funk
20:57
Speaker 1: for your life or my brother? Dimitri's threats are only
21:02
Speaker 1: hasty words and mean nothing.
21:05
Speaker 2: He won't kill you.
21:07
Speaker 1: It's not you will kill He'd kill me first of all,
21:12
Speaker 1: like a fly. But even more than that, I am
21:16
Speaker 1: afraid I shall be taken for an accomplice of his
21:20
Speaker 1: When he does something crazy to his father. Why should
21:25
Speaker 1: you be taken for an accomplice. They'll think I am
21:29
Speaker 1: an accomplice because I let him know the signals as
21:33
Speaker 1: a great secret. What signals? Whom did you tell? Confound
21:39
Speaker 1: you speak more plainly, I'm bound to admit the fact,
21:46
Speaker 1: Smerdyakov drolled with pedantic composure, that I have a secret
21:54
Speaker 1: with Bayodor Pavlovitch in this business. As you know yourself well,
22:00
Speaker 1: if only you do know it, he has for several
22:05
Speaker 1: days past locked himself in as soon as night or
22:09
Speaker 1: even evening comes on. Of late, you've been going upstairs
22:15
Speaker 1: to your room early every evening, and yesterday you did
22:20
Speaker 1: not come down at all, And so perhaps you don't
22:24
Speaker 1: know how carefully he has begun to lock himself in
22:28
Speaker 1: at night. And even if Grigory vassal Yevich comes to
22:35
Speaker 1: the door, he won't open to him till he hears
22:39
Speaker 1: his voice. But Grigory vassal Yevich does not come, because
22:47
Speaker 1: I wait upon.
22:48
Speaker 2: Him alone in his room.
22:50
Speaker 1: Now that's the arrangement he made himself ever since this
22:57
Speaker 1: to do with Agar Alexanderovna began. But at night, by
23:06
Speaker 1: his orders, I go away to the lodge, so that
23:11
Speaker 1: I don't get to sleep till midnight. But I'm on
23:15
Speaker 1: the watch, getting up and walking about the yard, waiting
23:21
Speaker 1: for ag Alexandrovna to come. For the last few days
23:29
Speaker 1: he's been perfectly frantic expecting her. What he argues is
23:36
Speaker 1: she is afraid of him. Dmitri feo doovy meetcha, as
23:45
Speaker 1: he calls him, and so says he. She'll come the
23:52
Speaker 1: back way late at night to me. You look out
23:57
Speaker 1: for her, says he, till midnight and later, and if
24:02
Speaker 1: she does come, you run up and knock at my
24:05
Speaker 1: door or at the window from the garden. Knock at
24:11
Speaker 1: first twice rather gently, and then three times more quickly,
24:21
Speaker 1: then says he, I shall understand at once that she
24:26
Speaker 1: has come, and will open the door to you quietly,
24:32
Speaker 1: another signal he gave me in case anything unexpected happens.
24:39
Speaker 1: At first two knocks, and then after an interval another
24:47
Speaker 1: much ladder. Then he will understand that something has happened
24:53
Speaker 1: suddenly and that I must see him, and he will
24:58
Speaker 1: open to me so so that I can go and
25:01
Speaker 1: speak to him. That's all in case Agrafena Alexandrovna can't
25:10
Speaker 1: come herself. But sends a message. Besides, Dmitri Fyodorovich might
25:18
Speaker 1: come too, so I must let him.
25:21
Speaker 2: Know he is near.
25:23
Speaker 1: His Honor is awfully afraid of Dmitri Fyodorovitch, So that
25:30
Speaker 1: even if Agrafena Alexandrovna had come and were locked in
25:36
Speaker 1: with him and Dmitry Fyodorovitch were to turn up anywhere
25:42
Speaker 1: near at the time, I should be bound to let
25:46
Speaker 1: him know at once, knocking three times, so that the
25:55
Speaker 1: first signal of five knocks means Agraphena al Axandrovna has come,
26:06
Speaker 1: while the second signal of three knocks means something important
26:13
Speaker 1: to tell you. His Honor has shown me them several
26:19
Speaker 1: times and explained them. And as in the whole universe,
26:27
Speaker 1: no one knows of these signals but myself and his Honor.
26:33
Speaker 1: So he'd opened the door without the slightest hesitation and
26:38
Speaker 1: without calling out. He's awfully afraid of calling out aloud. Well,
26:47
Speaker 1: those signals are known to Dmitry Byodorovich.
26:52
Speaker 2: Two, Now.
26:55
Speaker 1: How are they known? Did you tell him? How durt
26:59
Speaker 1: you tell him?
27:00
Speaker 2: It was through fright? I did it?
27:03
Speaker 1: How could I dare to keep it back from him?
27:07
Speaker 1: Dmitri Bayodorovitch kept persisting every day. You are deceiving me,
27:14
Speaker 1: you are hiding something from me. I'll break both your
27:19
Speaker 1: legs for you. So I told him those secret signals
27:24
Speaker 1: that he might see my spavish devotion and might be
27:28
Speaker 1: satisfied that I was not deceiving him, but was telling
27:33
Speaker 1: him all I could. If you think that he'll make
27:37
Speaker 1: use of those signals and try to get in, don't.
27:41
Speaker 2: Let him in.
27:42
Speaker 1: But if I should be laid up with a fit,
27:46
Speaker 1: how can I prevent him coming in? Then? Even if
27:50
Speaker 1: I dared prevent him, knowing how desperate he is, hang it?
27:57
Speaker 1: How can you be so sure you are going to
28:00
Speaker 1: have a fit? Confound you? Are you laughing at me?
28:05
Speaker 1: How could I dare laugh at you? I am in
28:09
Speaker 1: no laughing humor. With this fear on me, I feel
28:14
Speaker 1: I am going to have a fit. I have a
28:17
Speaker 1: presentiment right alone will bring it on.
28:24
Speaker 2: Confound it. If you are laid up, Grigory will be
28:28
Speaker 2: on the watch.
28:30
Speaker 1: Let Grigory know beforehand, he will be sure not to
28:34
Speaker 1: let him in. I should never dare to tell Grigory
28:39
Speaker 1: Vassal Yevich about the signals without orders from my master.
28:46
Speaker 2: And as for.
28:47
Speaker 1: Grigory Vassal Yevich hearing him and not admitting him. He
28:54
Speaker 1: has been ill ever since yesterday, and Marfa Ignatyevna intends
29:01
Speaker 1: to give him medicine tomorrow. They've just arranged it. It's
29:07
Speaker 1: a very strange remedy of hers. Marfa Ignatyevna knows of
29:15
Speaker 1: a preparation and always keeps it. It's a strong thing
29:22
Speaker 1: made from some herb. She has the secret of it,
29:27
Speaker 1: and she always gives it to Grigory vassel Yevich three
29:32
Speaker 1: times a year when his numbego so bad he is
29:38
Speaker 1: almost paralyzed by it. Then she takes a towel, wets
29:44
Speaker 1: it with the stuff, and rubs his whole back for
29:49
Speaker 1: half an hour till it's quite red and swollen. And
29:55
Speaker 1: what's left in the bottle she gives him to drink
29:58
Speaker 1: with a special preyer, but not quite all for on
30:03
Speaker 1: such occasions she leaves some for herself and drinks it herself.
30:08
Speaker 1: And as they never take strong drink, I assure you
30:13
Speaker 1: they both drop asleep at once and sleep sound a
30:17
Speaker 1: very long time. And when Grigory Vassaljevich wakes up, he
30:24
Speaker 1: is perfectly well after it. But Marfa Ignatyevna always has
30:30
Speaker 1: a headache from it. So if Marfa Ignatyevna carries out
30:37
Speaker 1: her intention tomorrow, they won't hear anything and hinder Dmitri.
30:44
Speaker 2: Fyo Dora. They'll be asleep.
30:49
Speaker 1: What a rigmarole, And it all seems to happen at
30:53
Speaker 1: once as though it were planned. You'll have a fit
30:56
Speaker 1: and they'll both be unconscious, Kriedivan, But I'm you're trying
31:00
Speaker 1: to arrange it. So broke from him suddenly, and he
31:04
Speaker 1: frown threateningly. How could I and why should I? When
31:11
Speaker 1: it all depends on Dmitri if i Adorovich and his plans.
31:17
Speaker 1: If he means to do anything, he'll do it. But
31:21
Speaker 1: if not, I shan't be thrusting him upon his father.
31:27
Speaker 1: And why should he go to father, especially on the slide, If,
31:31
Speaker 1: as you say yourself, Agrafena, Alexandrovna won't come at all,
31:36
Speaker 1: if man went on turning white with anger, you say
31:42
Speaker 1: that yourself, And all the while I've been here, I
31:47
Speaker 1: felt sure it was all the old man's fancy, and
31:50
Speaker 1: the creature won't come to him. Why should Dmitri break
31:55
Speaker 1: in on him if she doesn't come speak? I want
31:59
Speaker 1: to know what you are thinking, King.
32:01
Speaker 2: You know yourself. Why he'll come.
32:05
Speaker 1: What's the use of what I think his honor will
32:10
Speaker 1: come simply because he is in a rage or suspicious
32:15
Speaker 1: on account of my illness, perhaps, and he'll dash in
32:19
Speaker 1: as he did yesterday through impatience, to search the rooms
32:24
Speaker 1: to see whether she hasn't escaped him on the slide.
32:28
Speaker 1: He is perfectly well aware too that Biodo Pablo bitch
32:33
Speaker 1: has a big envelope with three thousand rubles in it,
32:38
Speaker 1: tied up with ribbon and sealed with three seals on.
32:43
Speaker 1: It is written in his own hand to my angel
32:49
Speaker 1: Grushenka if she will come to which he added three
32:54
Speaker 1: days later, for my little chicken. There's no knowing what
33:00
Speaker 1: that might do. Nonsense, cried Ivan, almost beside himself. Dmitri
33:10
Speaker 1: won't come to steal money and kill my father to
33:13
Speaker 1: do it. He might have killed him yesterday on account
33:16
Speaker 1: of Grushenka, like the frantic, savage fool he is, but
33:20
Speaker 1: he won't steal. He is in very great need of
33:24
Speaker 1: money now, the greatest need, Ivan Fyodorovitch, you don't know
33:30
Speaker 1: in what need he is, smerd Diokop explained with perfect
33:37
Speaker 1: composure and remarkable distinctness. He looks on that three thousand
33:44
Speaker 1: as his own two he said, so to me himself.
33:49
Speaker 1: My father still owes me just three thousand, he said.
33:55
Speaker 1: And besides that, consider Ivan Fodorovitch, there is something else
34:02
Speaker 1: perfectly true. It's as good as certain so to say
34:08
Speaker 1: that Agrippina Alexandrovna will force him if only she cares to,
34:16
Speaker 1: to marry her the Master himself, I mean, Fyodor Pavlovitch,
34:23
Speaker 1: if only she cares to, and of course she may
34:27
Speaker 1: care to. All I've said is that she won't come.
34:33
Speaker 1: But maybe she's looking for more than that. I mean
34:36
Speaker 1: to be mistress here. I know myself that sam Sonov,
34:42
Speaker 1: her merchant, was laughing with her about it, telling her
34:46
Speaker 1: quite openly that it would not be at all a
34:50
Speaker 1: stupid thing to do. And she's got plenty of sense.
34:55
Speaker 1: She wouldn't marry a beggar like Dmitri Fyodorovich. So taking
35:02
Speaker 1: that into consideration, Ivan Fyodorovitch reflect that, then neither Dmitri
35:12
Speaker 1: via Dorovitch nor yourself and your brother Alexei via Duovich
35:20
Speaker 1: would have anything after the Master's death, not a ruble.
35:26
Speaker 1: For Agripina Alexandrovna would marry him simply to.
35:32
Speaker 2: Get hold of the whole, all the money there is.
35:38
Speaker 1: But if your father were to die now, there'd be
35:43
Speaker 1: some forty thousand p sure, even for Dmitry Pyadorovitch, whom
35:50
Speaker 1: he hates so for he's made no will. Dmitry Ya
35:58
Speaker 1: duobch knows, oh that very well. A sort of shudder
36:07
Speaker 1: passed over Ivan's face. He suddenly flushed. Then why on earth,
36:14
Speaker 1: he suddenly interrupted Smadayakov, do you advise me to go
36:19
Speaker 1: to chutch Mashna? What did you mean by that? If
36:23
Speaker 1: I go away, you see what will happen here? Ivan
36:27
Speaker 1: drew his breath with difficulty. Precisely so, said Smadayakov, softly
36:37
Speaker 1: and reasonably, watching Ivan intently.
36:42
Speaker 2: However, what do you mean by precisely so?
36:47
Speaker 1: Ivan questioned him, with a menacing light in his eyes,
36:52
Speaker 1: restraining himself with difficulty. I spoke because I felt sorry
37:00
Speaker 1: for you. If I were in your place, I should
37:04
Speaker 1: simply throw it all up rather than stay on in
37:09
Speaker 1: such a position, answered Smerdyakov with the most candid air.
37:16
Speaker 1: Looking at Ivan's flashing eyes, they were both silent. He
37:23
Speaker 1: seemed to be a perfect idiot, and what's more, an
37:26
Speaker 1: awful scoundrel too. Ivan rose suddenly from the bench. He
37:31
Speaker 1: was about to pass straight through the gate, but he
37:34
Speaker 1: stopped short and turned to Smerdyakov. Something strange followed a
37:40
Speaker 1: Van in a sudden paroxysm bit his lip, clenched his pists,
37:46
Speaker 1: and in another minute would have flung himself on Smerdyakov.
37:51
Speaker 1: The latter, anyway, noticed it at the same moment, started
37:56
Speaker 1: and shrank back, but the moment passed without mist cheapness.
38:00
Speaker 1: My Diacov and Ivan turned in silence, as it seemed,
38:05
Speaker 1: in perplexity to the gate. I am going away to
38:09
Speaker 1: Moscow to morrow, if you care to know early to
38:13
Speaker 1: morrow morning. That's all, he suddenly said aloud angrily, and
38:19
Speaker 1: wondered himself afterwards what need there was to say this?
38:23
Speaker 2: Then to my.
38:24
Speaker 1: Diaco, that's the best thing you can do, he responded,
38:31
Speaker 1: as though we had expected to hear it, except that
38:35
Speaker 1: you can always be telegraphed for from Moscow if anything
38:41
Speaker 1: should happen here. Ivan stopped again and again turned quickly
38:48
Speaker 1: to s my Diakof, but a change had passed over
38:52
Speaker 1: him too. All his familiarity and carelessness had completely disappeared.
39:00
Speaker 1: His face expressed attention and expectation, intent, but timid and cringing,
39:10
Speaker 1: haven't you something more to say? Something to add could
39:17
Speaker 1: be read in the intent gaze he fixed on Ivan,
39:23
Speaker 1: And couldn't I be sent for from Church Maashnir too
39:28
Speaker 1: in case anything happened? Ivan shouted suddenly, for some unknown reason,
39:39
Speaker 1: raising his voice from Church Mashnir to you could be
39:49
Speaker 1: sent for? Smerdayaka muttered, almost in a whisper, looking disconcerted,
39:57
Speaker 1: but gazing intently into ivan eyes. Only Moscow is father
40:05
Speaker 1: and Church Mashnya is near him. Is it to save
40:09
Speaker 1: my spending money on the fair, or to save.
40:12
Speaker 2: My going so far out of my way that.
40:15
Speaker 1: You insist on Church Maashna? Purcisely so, muttered Smerdyaka, with
40:28
Speaker 1: a breaking voice. He looked at Ivan with a revolting
40:33
Speaker 1: smile and again made ready.
40:36
Speaker 2: To draw back.
40:38
Speaker 1: But to his astonishment, Ivan broke into a laugh and
40:42
Speaker 1: went through the gate, still laughing. Anyone who had seen
40:46
Speaker 1: his face at that moment would have known that he
40:50
Speaker 1: was not laughing from likeness of heart, and he could
40:53
Speaker 1: not have explained himself what he was feeling at that instant.
40:58
Speaker 1: He moved and as though in.
41:02
Speaker 2: A nervous frenzy. End of Chapter thirty eight
