spare。　I　will　put　those　two　little　ones　and　Polenka　into　some　good
  orphan　asylum；　and　I　will　settle　fifteen　hundred　roubles　to　be　paid　to
  each　on　coming　of　age；　so　that　Sofya　Semyonovna　need　have　no　anxiety
  about　them。　And　I　will　pull　her　out　of　the　mud　too；　for　she　is　a
  good　girl；　isn't　she？　So　tell　Avdotya　Romanovna　that　that　is　how　I
  am　spending　her　ten　thousand。〃
  〃What　is　your　motive　for　such　benevolence？〃　asked　Raskolnikov。
  〃Ah！　you　sceptical　person！〃　laughed　Svidrigailov。　〃I　told　you　I
  had　no　need　of　that　money。　Won't　you　admit　that　it's　simply　done
  from　humanity？　She　wasn't　'a　louse；'　you　know〃　（he　pointed　to　the
  corner　where　the　dead　woman　lay）；　〃was　she；　like　some　old　pawnbroker
  woman？　Come；　you'll　agree；　is　Luzhin　to　go　on　living；　and　doing　wicked
  things　or　is　she　to　die？　And　if　I　didn't　help　them；　Polenka　would　go
  the　same　way。〃
  He　said　this　with　an　air　of　a　sort　of　gay　winking　slyness；　keeping
  his　eyes　fixed　on　Raskolnikov；　who　turned　white　and　cold；　hearing
  his　own　phrases；　spoken　to　Sonia。　He　quickly　stepped　back　and　looked
  wildly　at　Svidrigailov。
  〃How　do　you　know？〃　he　whispered；　hardly　able　to　breathe。
  〃Why；　I　lodge　here　at　Madame　Resslich's；　the　other　side　of　the　wall。
  Here　is　Kapernaumov；　and　there　lives　Madame　Resslich；　an　old　and
  devoted　friend　of　mine。　I　am　a　neighbour。〃
  〃You？〃
  〃Yes；〃　continued　Svidrigailov；　shaking　with　laughter。　〃I　assure
  you　on　my　honour；　dear　Rodion　Romanovitch；　that　you　have　interested　me
  enormously。　I　told　you　we　should　become　friends；　I　foretold　it。
  Well；　here　we　have。　And　you　will　see　what　an　accommodating　person　I
  am。　You'll　see　that　you　can　get　on　with　me！〃
