[Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky]@TWC D-Link bookCrime and Punishment CHAPTER V 5/26

But shall I not disturb the invalid by my presence and conversation ?" Pyotr Petrovitch asked of Zossimov. "N-no," mumbled Zossimov; "you may amuse him." He yawned again. "He has been conscious a long time, since the morning," went on Razumihin, whose familiarity seemed so much like unaffected good-nature that Pyotr Petrovitch began to be more cheerful, partly, perhaps, because this shabby and impudent person had introduced himself as a student. "Your mamma," began Luzhin. "Hm!" Razumihin cleared his throat loudly.
Luzhin looked at him inquiringly. "That's all right, go on." Luzhin shrugged his shoulders. "Your mamma had commenced a letter to you while I was sojourning in her neighbourhood.
On my arrival here I purposely allowed a few days to elapse before coming to see you, in order that I might be fully assured that you were in full possession of the tidings; but now, to my astonishment..." "I know, I know!" Raskolnikov cried suddenly with impatient vexation. "So you are the _fiance_? I know, and that's enough!" There was no doubt about Pyotr Petrovitch's being offended this time, but he said nothing.
He made a violent effort to understand what it all meant.
