“Without Aglaya⁠—I⁠—I must see Aglaya!⁠—I shall die in my sleep very soon⁠—I thought I was dying in my sleep last night. Oh! if Aglaya only knew all⁠—I mean really, really all! Because she must know all ⁠—that’s the first condition towards understanding. Why cannot we ever know all about another, especially when that other has been guilty? But I don’t know what I’m talking about⁠—I’m so confused. You pained me so dreadfully. Surely⁠—surely Aglaya has not the same expression now as she had at the moment when she ran away? Oh, yes! I am guilty and I know it⁠—I know it! Probably I am in fault all round⁠—I don’t quite know how⁠—but I am in fault, no doubt. There is something else, but I cannot explain it to you, Evgenie Pavlovitch. I have no words; but Aglaya will understand. I have always believed Aglaya will understand⁠—I am assured she will.”
