On an exceptionally hot evening, early in July, a young man came out of the garret. | 83 | 6.85 | |
five-storied house and was more like a cup board. | 49 | 4.729 | |
In spite of all the fastidiousness of youth, | 44 | 3.716 | |
he minded his rags least of all in the street. | 46 | 4.56 | |
when he met with acquaintances | 30 | 4.239 | |
or with former fellow students whom, indeed, he disliked meeting at any time. | 77 | 6.055 | |
who for some unknown reason was being taken somewhere in a huge wagon dragged by a heavy dray horse | 99 | 8.181 | |
as he drove past. Hey there, German hatter! | 43 | 3.694 | |
bowling at the top of his voice and pointing at him. | 52 | 3.865 | |
The young man stopped suddenly and clutched. | 44 | 3.517 | |
from Zimmermann's, but completely worn out. | 43 | 3.243 | |
rusty with age all torn and bespread | 36 | 3.534 | |
brimless and bent on one side | 29 | 3.111 | |
Not shame or heva, but quite another feeling akin to terror had overtaken him. | 78 | 6.174 | |
Why a stupid thing like this, the most trivial detail, might spoil the whole plan? | 82 | 5.966 | |
Yes, my heart is too noticeable. | 32 | 3.162 | |
It looks absurd and that makes it noticeable. | 45 | 3.612 | |
with Garrett, dinners and attendance. | 37 | 3.005 | |
any sort of old pancake, but not this grotesque thing. | 54 | 4.628 | |
it would be noticed a mile off it would be remembered | 53 | 3.778 | |
What matters is that people would remember it. | 46 | 3.503 | |
For this business one should be as little | 41 | 3.356 | |
conspicuous as possible. | 24 | 3.408 | |
Why? It's just such trifles that always ruin everything. | 56 | 4.78 | |
he knew indeed how many steps it was from the gate of his lodging-house exactly seven hundred and thirty | 104 | 8.715 | |
He had counted them once when he had been lost in dreams. | 57 | 3.752 | |
at the time he had put no faith in those dreams and was only | 60 | 5.184 | |
now a month later he had begun to look upon them you | 52 | 4.097 | |
and every time he went out he was obliged to pass her kitchen the door of which | 79 | 5.668 | |
come to regard this hideous dream as an exploit? | 48 | 4.02 | |
although he still did not realize this himself. | 47 | 3.148 | |
positively going now for a rehearsal of his project. | 52 | 6.087 | |
and that every step is excitement grew more and more violent. | 61 | 4.787 | |
with a sinking heart and a nervous tremor. | 42 | 3.865 | |
he went up to a huge house which on one side looked | 51 | 4.71 | |
on to the canal and on the other into the street. | 49 | 3.898 | |
This house was let out in teeny ten months. | 43 | 3.042 | |
and was inhabited by working people of all kinds. | 49 | 4.163 | |
tailors locksmiths cooks germans of sorts | 41 | 4.076 | |
girls picking up a living as best they could. | 45 | 3.434 | |
there was a continual coming and going through the two gates and in the two courtyards of the house | 99 | 8.833 | |
Three or four doorkeepers were employed on the building. | 56 | 4.837 | |
The young man was very glad to meet none of them. | 49 | 3.383 | |
and at once sleeped unnoticed. | 30 | 3.187 | |
It was a back staircase, dark and narrow. | 41 | 3.465 | |
but he was familiar with it already. | 36 | 5.403 | |
and knew his way and he liked all these surroundings in such darkness even the most inquisitive eyes | 100 | 9.237 | |
If I am so scared now, what would it be if it somehow came to pass? | 67 | 8.731 | |
that I were really going to do it. | 34 | 3.081 | |
not help asking himself as he reached the fourth story. | 55 | 5.12 | |
There his progress was bared. | 29 | 3.026 | |
by some porters who were engaged in moving furniture out of a flat. | 67 | 6.104 | |
he knew that the flat had been occupied by a german clerk | 57 | 4.468 | |
in the civil service and his family. | 36 | 3.351 | |
and sew the fourth floor on this staircase. | 43 | 3.833 | |
tenanted except by the old woman | 32 | 4.019 | |
That's a good thing anyway, he fought to himself. | 49 | 3.269 | |
as he rang the bell of the old woman's flat. | 44 | 3.841 | |
The bell gave a faint tinkle as though | 38 | 4.202 | |
It were made of tin and not of copper. | 38 | 3.102 | |
The little flats in such houses always have bells that ring like that. | 70 | 5.623 | |
and now its peculiar tinkle seemed to remind him of something and to bring it clearly before him. | 97 | 7.822 | |
He started, his nerves were terribly overstrained by now. In a little while, | 76 | 6.11 | |
The old woman eyed her visitor with evident distrust. | 53 | 5.023 | |
and nothing could be seen by her little eyes | 44 | 3.301 | |
in which he lodged in some place and walked slowly | 50 | 3.681 | |
which made him scorn and feel ashamed. | 38 | 4.243 | |
but seeing a number of people on the landing she grew bolder and opened the door wide | 85 | 7.273 | |
The young man stepped into the dark entry. | 42 | 3.135 | |
The old woman stood facing him in silence. | 42 | 3.432 | |
and looking inquiringly at him. | 31 | 3.14 | |
she was a diminutive wither up old woman of sessanta with sharp malignant eyes and a sharp little nose | 102 | 8.703 | |
he was hopelessly in debt to his landlady and was afraid of meeting her | 71 | 6.625 | |
air was thickly smeared with oil and she wore no | 48 | 5.494 | |
was knotted some sort of slanted rag and in spite of the heat | 61 | 4.747 | |
This was not because it was cowardly and abject. | 48 | 4.632 | |
slapping on her shoulders a mangy | 33 | 3.377 | |
the young man must have looked at her with a rather peculiar expression. | 72 | 4.812 | |
for a gleam of mistrust came into her eyes again. | 49 | 4.077 | |
Raskolnikov, a student I can hear a month ago. | 46 | 4.095 | |
remembering that he ought to be more polite. | 44 | 4.089 | |
I remember, my good sir, I remember quite well you coming here. | 63 | 5.152 | |
still keeping her inquiring eyes on his face. | 45 | 3.812 | |
And here I am again on the same around. | 39 | 3.863 | |
a little disconcerned and surprised at the old woman's mistrust. | 64 | 5.296 | |
but for some time past he had been in an overstrained irritable condition | 73 | 6.07 | |
then stepped on one side and pointing | 37 | 4.081 | |
to the door of the room she said letting her visitor pass in front of her | 73 | 5.327 | |
the little room into which the young man walked | 47 | 3.442 | |
geraniums and muslin curtains in the windows | 44 | 4.828 | |
was brightly lightened up at the moment by the setting sun. | 59 | 4.234 | |
So the sun will shine like this planet too. | 43 | 3.674 | |
slashed as it were by chance through Raskolnikov's mind. | 56 | 4.702 | |
and with a rapid glance he scorned everything in the room. | 58 | 3.542 | |
trying as far as possible to notice and remember its arrangement. | 65 | 4.253 | |
but there was nothing special in the room the furniture all very old | 68 | 4.843 | |
consisted of a sofa with a huge bank wooden back, | 49 | 3.833 | |
In the corner, a light was burning before a small economy. | 58 | 4.338 | |
was very clean the floor and the furniture were brightly polished everything showed | 83 | 6.178 | |
there was not a speck of dust to be seen in the whole flat. | 59 | 4.271 |
