"
The
prince
is
clearly
a
democrat
,
"
remarked
Aglaya
.
552
"
Well
,
if
you
could
tell
Aleksey
about
it
,
surely
you
can
tell
us
too
.
"
553
"
I
do
so
want
to
hear
about
it
,
"
repeated
Adelaida

"
Just
now
,
I
confess
,
"
began
the
prince
,
with
more
animation
,
"
when
you
asked
me
for
a
subject
for
a
picture
,
I
confess
I
had
serious
thoughts
of
giving
you
one
.
I
thought
of
asking
you
to
draw
the
face
of
a
criminal
,
one
minute
before
the
fall
of
the
guillotine
,
while
the
wretched
man
is
still
standing
on
the
scaffold
,
preparatory
to
placing
his
neck
on
the
block
.
"
555
"
What
,
his
face
?
only
his
face
?
"
asked
Adelaida
.
"
That
would
be
a
strange
subject
indeed
.
And
what
sort
of
a
picture
would
that
make
?
"
556
"
Oh
,
why
not
?
"
the
prince
insisted
,
with
some
warmth
.
"
When
I
was
in
Basle
I
saw
a
picture
very
much
in
that
style
--
I
should
like
to
tell
you
about
it
;
I
will
some
time
or
other
;
it
struck
me
very
forcibly
.

"
Oh
,
you
shall
tell
us
about
the
Basle
picture
another
time
;
now
we
must
have
all
about
the
execution
,
"
said
Adelaida
.
"
Tell
us
about
that
face
as
it
appeared
to
your
imagination
--
how
should
it
be
drawn
?
--
just
the
face
alone
,
do
you
mean
?
"
559
"
It
was
just
a
minute
before
the
execution
,
"
began
the
prince
,
readily
,
carried
away
by
the
recollection
and
evidently
forgetting
everything
else
in
a
moment
;
"
just
at
the
instant
when
he
stepped
off
the
ladder
on
to
the
scaffold
.
He
happened
to
look
in
my
direction
:
I
saw
his
eyes
and
understood
all
,
at
once
--
but
how
am
I
to
describe
it
?
I
do
so
wish
you
or
somebody
else
could
draw
it
,
you
,
if
possible
.
I
thought
at
the
time
what
a
picture
it
would
make
.
You
must
imagine
all
that
went
before
,
of
course
,
all
--
all
.
He
had
lived
in
the
prison
for
some
time
and
had
not
expected
that
the
execution
would
take
place
for
at
least
a
week
yet
--
he
had
counted
on
all
the
formalities
and
so
on
taking
time
;
but
it
so
happened
that
his
papers
had
been
got
ready
quickly
.
At
five
o'clock
in
the
morning
he
was
asleep
--
it
was
October
,
and
at
five
in
the
morning
it
was
cold
and
dark
.
The
governor
of
the
prison
comes
in
on
tip-toe
and
touches
the
sleeping
man
's
shoulder
gently
.
He
starts
up
.
'
What
is
it
?
'
he
says
.
'
The
execution
is
fixed
for
ten
o'clock
.
'
He
was
only
just
awake
,
and
would
not
believe
at
first
,
but
began
to
argue
that
his
papers
would
not
be
out
for
a
week
,
and
so
on
.
560
When
he
was
wide
awake
and
realized
the
truth
,
he
became
very
silent
and
argued
no
more
--
so
they
say
;
but
after
a
bit
he
said
:
'
It
comes
very
hard
on
one
so
suddenly
'
and
then
he
was
silent
again
and
said
nothing
.
