What
,
Athanasi
Vassilievitch
?
The
fellow
had
infringed
one
of
the
Fundamental
Laws
!
He
had
been
found
guilty
of
treason
!
"
"
I
am
not
seeking
to
justify
him
;
I
am
only
asking
you
whether
you
think
it
right
that
an
inexperienced
youth
who
had
been
tempted
and
led
away
by
others
should
have
received
the
same
sentence
as
the
man
who
had
taken
the
chief
part
in
the
affair
.
That
is
to
say
,
although
Dierpiennikov
and
the
man
Voron-Drianni
received
an
equal
measure
of
punishment
,
their
CRIMINALITY
was
not
equal
.
"
"
If
,
"
exclaimed
the
Prince
excitedly
,
"
you
know
anything
further
concerning
the
case
,
for
God
's
sake
tell
it
me
at
once
.
Only
the
other
day
did
I
forward
a
recommendation
that
St.
Petersburg
should
remit
a
portion
of
the
sentence
.
"
"
Your
Highness
,
"
replied
Murazov
,
"
I
do
not
mean
that
I
know
of
anything
which
does
not
lie
also
within
your
own
cognisance
,
though
one
circumstance
there
was
which
might
have
told
in
the
lad
's
favour
had
he
not
refused
to
admit
it
,
lest
another
should
suffer
injury
.
All
that
I
have
in
my
mind
is
this
.
On
that
occasion
were
you
not
a
little
over-hasty
in
coming
to
a
conclusion
?
You
will
understand
,
of
course
,
that
I
am
judging
only
according
to
my
own
poor
lights
,
and
for
the
reason
that
on
more
than
one
occasion
you
have
urged
me
to
be
frank
.
In
the
days
when
I
myself
acted
as
a
chief
of
gendarmery
I
came
in
contact
with
a
great
number
of
accused
--
some
of
them
bad
,
some
of
them
good
;
and
in
each
case
I
found
it
well
also
to
consider
a
man
's
past
career
,
for
the
reason
that
,
unless
one
views
things
calmly
,
instead
of
at
once
decrying
a
man
,
he
is
apt
to
take
alarm
,
and
to
make
it
impossible
thereafter
to
get
any
real
confession
from
him
.
If
,
on
the
other
hand
,
you
question
a
man
as
friend
might
question
friend
,
the
result
will
be
that
straightway
he
will
tell
you
everything
,
nor
ask
for
mitigation
of
his
penalty
,
nor
bear
you
the
least
malice
,
in
that
he
will
understand
that
it
is
not
you
who
have
punished
him
,
but
the
law
.
"
The
Prince
relapsed
into
thought
;
until
presently
there
entered
a
young
tchinovnik
.
Portfolio
in
hand
,
this
official
stood
waiting
respectfully
.
Care
and
hard
work
had
already
imprinted
their
insignia
upon
his
fresh
young
face
;
for
evidently
he
had
not
been
in
the
Service
for
nothing
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
his
greatest
joy
was
to
labour
at
a
tangled
case
,
and
successfully
to
unravel
it
.
[
At
this
point
a
long
hiatus
occurs
in
the
original
.
]
"
I
will
send
corn
to
the
localities
where
famine
is
worst
,
"
said
Murazov
,
"
for
I
understand
that
sort
of
work
better
than
do
the
tchinovniks
,
and
will
personally
see
to
the
needs
of
each
person
.
Also
,
if
you
will
allow
me
,
your
Highness
,
I
will
go
and
have
a
talk
with
the
Raskolniki
.
They
are
more
likely
to
listen
to
a
plain
man
than
to
an
official
.
God
knows
whether
I
shall
succeed
in
calming
them
,
but
at
least
no
tchinovnik
could
do
so
,
for
officials
of
the
kind
merely
draw
up
reports
and
lose
their
way
among
their
own
documents
--
with
the
result
that
nothing
comes
of
it
.
Nor
will
I
accept
from
you
any
money
for
these
purposes
,
since
I
am
ashamed
to
devote
as
much
as
a
thought
to
my
own
pocket
at
a
time
when
men
are
dying
of
hunger
.
I
have
a
large
stock
of
grain
lying
in
my
granaries
;
in
addition
to
which
,
I
have
sent
orders
to
Siberia
that
a
new
consignment
shall
be
forwarded
me
before
the
coming
summer
.
"
"
Of
a
surety
will
God
reward
you
for
your
services
,
Athanasi
Vassilievitch
!
Not
another
word
will
I
say
to
you
on
the
subject
,
for
you
yourself
feel
that
any
words
from
me
would
be
inadequate
.
Yet
tell
me
one
thing
:
I
refer
to
the
case
of
which
you
know
.
Have
I
the
right
to
pass
over
the
case
?
Also
,
would
it
be
just
and
honourable
on
my
part
to
let
the
offending
tchinovniks
go
unpunished
?
