I

have

no

wit

,

Nastasia

Philipovna

,

"

began

Ferdishenko

,

"

and

therefore

I

talk

too

much

,

perhaps

.

Were

I

as

witty

,

now

,

as

Mr.

Totski

or

the

general

,

I

should

probably

have

sat

silent

all

the

evening

,

as

they

have

.

Now

,

prince

,

what

do

you

think

?

--

are

there

not

far

more

thieves

than

honest

men

in

this

world

?

Do

n't

you

think

we

may

say

there

does

not

exist

a

single

person

so

honest

that

he

has

never

stolen

anything

whatever

in

his

life

?

"

"

What

a

silly

idea

,

"

said

the

actress

.

"

Of

course

it

is

not

the

case

.

I

have

never

stolen

anything

,

for

one

.

"

"

H

'm

!

very

well

,

Daria

Alexeyevna

;

you

have

not

stolen

anything

--

agreed

.

But

how

about

the

prince

,

now

--

look

how

he

is

blushing

!

I

think

you

are

partially

right

,

but

you

exaggerate

,

"

said

the

prince

,

who

had

certainly

blushed

up

,

of

a

sudden

,

for

some

reason

or

other

.

"

Ferdishenko

--

either

tell

us

your

story

,

or

be

quiet

,

and

mind

your

own

business

.

You

exhaust

all

patience

,

"

cuttingly

and

irritably

remarked

Nastasia

Philipovna

.

"

Immediately

,

immediately

!

As

for

my

story

,

gentlemen

,

it

is

too

stupid

and

absurd

to

tell

you

.

"

I

assure

you

I

am

not

a

thief

,

and

yet

I

have

stolen

;

I

can

not

explain

why

.

It

was

at

Semeon

Ivanovitch

Ishenka

's

country

house

,

one

Sunday

.

He

had

a

dinner

party

.

After

dinner

the

men

stayed

at

the

table

over

their

wine

.

It

struck

me

to

ask

the

daughter

of

the

house

to

play

something

on

the

piano

;

so

I

passed

through

the

corner

room

to

join

the

ladies

.

In

that

room

,

on

Maria

Ivanovna

's

writing-table

,

I

observed

a

three-rouble

note

.

She

must

have

taken

it

out

for

some

purpose

,

and

left

it

lying

there

.

There

was

no

one

about

.

I

took

up

the

note

and

put

it

in

my

pocket

;

why

,

I

ca

n't

say

.

I

do

n't

know

what

possessed

me

to

do

it

,

but

it

was

done

,

and

I

went

quickly

back

to

the

dining-room

and

reseated

myself

at

the

dinner-table

.

I

sat

and

waited

there

in

a

great

state

of

excitement

.

I

talked

hard

,

and

told

lots

of

stories

,

and

laughed

like

mad

;

then

I

joined

the

ladies

.

"

In

half

an

hour

or

so

the

loss

was

discovered

,

and

the

servants

were

being

put

under

examination

.

Daria

,

the

housemaid

was

suspected

.

I

exhibited

the

greatest

interest

and

sympathy

,

and

I

remember

that

poor

Daria

quite

lost

her

head

,

and

that

I

began

assuring

her

,

before

everyone

,

that

I

would

guarantee

her

forgiveness

on

the

part

of

her

mistress

,

if

she

would

confess

her

guilt

.

They

all

stared

at

the

girl

,

and

I

remember

a

wonderful

attraction

in

the

reflection

that

here

was

I

sermonizing

away

,

with

the

money

in

my

own

pocket

all

the

while

.

I

went

and

spent

the

three

roubles

that

very

evening

at

a

restaurant

.

I

went

in

and

asked

for

a

bottle

of

Lafite

,

and

drank

it

up

;

I

wanted

to

be

rid

of

the

money

.

"

I

did

not

feel

much

remorse

either

then

or

afterwards

;

but

I

would

not

repeat

the

performance

--

believe

it

or

not

as

you

please

.

There

--

that

's

all

.
