The
prince
had
,
of
course
,
at
once
received
him
,
and
had
plunged
into
a
conversation
about
Hippolyte
.
He
had
given
the
doctor
an
account
of
Hippolyte
's
attempted
suicide
;
and
had
proceeded
thereafter
to
talk
of
his
own
malady
,
--
of
Switzerland
,
of
Schneider
,
and
so
on
;
and
so
deeply
was
the
old
man
interested
by
the
prince
's
conversation
and
his
description
of
Schneider
's
system
,
that
he
sat
on
for
two
hours
.
Muishkin
gave
him
excellent
cigars
to
smoke
,
and
Lebedeff
,
for
his
part
,
regaled
him
with
liqueurs
,
brought
in
by
Vera
,
to
whom
the
doctor
--
a
married
man
and
the
father
of
a
family
--
addressed
such
compliments
that
she
was
filled
with
indignation
.
They
parted
friends
,
and
,
after
leaving
the
prince
,
the
doctor
said
to
Lebedeff
:
"
If
all
such
people
were
put
under
restraint
,
there
would
be
no
one
left
for
keepers
.
"
Lebedeff
then
,
in
tragic
tones
,
told
of
the
approaching
marriage
,
whereupon
the
other
nodded
his
head
and
replied
that
,
after
all
,
marriages
like
that
were
not
so
rare
;
that
he
had
heard
that
the
lady
was
very
fascinating
and
of
extraordinary
beauty
,
which
was
enough
to
explain
the
infatuation
of
a
wealthy
man
;
that
,
further
,
thanks
to
the
liberality
of
Totski
and
of
Rogojin
,
she
possessed
--
so
he
had
heard
--
not
only
money
,
but
pearls
,
diamonds
,
shawls
,
and
furniture
,
and
consequently
she
could
not
be
considered
a
bad
match
.
In
brief
,
it
seemed
to
the
doctor
that
the
prince
's
choice
,
far
from
being
a
sign
of
foolishness
,
denoted
,
on
the
contrary
,
a
shrewd
,
calculating
,
and
practical
mind
.
Lebedeff
had
been
much
struck
by
this
point
of
view
,
and
he
terminated
his
confession
by
assuring
the
prince
that
he
was
ready
,
if
need
be
,
to
shed
his
very
life
's
blood
for
him
.
Hippolyte
,
too
,
was
a
source
of
some
distraction
to
the
prince
at
this
time
;
he
would
send
for
him
at
any
and
every
hour
of
the
day
.

They
lived
,
--
Hippolyte
and
his
mother
and
the
children
,
--
in
a
small
house
not
far
off
,
and
the
little
ones
were
happy
,
if
only
because
they
were
able
to
escape
from
the
invalid
into
the
garden
.
The
prince
had
enough
to
do
in
keeping
the
peace
between
the
irritable
Hippolyte
and
his
mother
,
and
eventually
the
former
became
so
malicious
and
sarcastic
on
the
subject
of
the
approaching
wedding
,
that
Muishkin
took
offence
at
last
,
and
refused
to
continue
his
visits
.
A
couple
of
days
later
,
however
,
Hippolyte
's
mother
came
with
tears
in
her
eyes
,
and
begged
the
prince
to
come
back
,
"
or
he
would
eat
her
up
bodily
.
"
She
added
that
Hippolyte
had
a
great
secret
to
disclose
.
Of
course
the
prince
went
.
There
was
no
secret
,
however
,
unless
we
reckon
certain
pantings
and
agitated
glances
around
(
probably
all
put
on
)
as
the
invalid
begged
his
visitor
to
"
beware
of
Rogojin
.
"
"
He
is
the
sort
of
man
,
"
he
continued
,
"
who
wo
n't
give
up
his
object
,
you
know
;
he
is
not
like
you
and
me
,
prince
--
he
belongs
to
quite
a
different
order
of
beings
.
If
he
sets
his
heart
on
a
thing
he
wo
n't
be
afraid
of
anything
--
"
and
so
on
.
Hippolyte
was
very
ill
,
and
looked
as
though
he
could
not
long
survive
.
He
was
tearful
at
first
,
but
grew
more
and
more
sarcastic
and
malicious
as
the
interview
proceeded
.

The
prince
questioned
him
in
detail
as
to
his
hints
about
Rogojin
.
He
was
anxious
to
seize
upon
some
facts
which
might
confirm
Hippolyte
's
vague
warnings
;
but
there
were
none
;
only
Hippolyte
's
own
private
impressions
and
feelings
.
However
,
the
invalid
--
to
his
immense
satisfaction
--
ended
by
seriously
alarming
the
prince
.
At
first
Muishkin
had
not
cared
to
make
any
reply
to
his
sundry
questions
,
and
only
smiled
in
response
to
Hippolyte
's
advice
to
"
run
for
his
life
--
abroad
,
if
necessary
.
There
are
Russian
priests
everywhere
,
and
one
can
get
married
all
over
the
world
.
