FÉDYA. What have I written?... [Takes the letter and is about to tear it  
up] It's no longer wanted now.  
MÁSHA [snatches the letter] You've said you would kill yourself? Yes?  
You did not mention the revolver--only said that you'd kill yourself?  
FÉDYA. Yes, that I should be no more.  
MÁSHA. Give it me--give it, give it!... Have you read What to Do?  
FÉDYA. I think I have.  
MÁSHA. It's a tiresome novel, but there's one very, very good thing in  
it. That what's his name?--Rakhmánov--goes and pretends he has drowned  
himself. And you--can you swim?  
FÉDYA. No.  
MÁSHA. That's all right. Let me have your clothes--everything, and your  
pocket-book too.  
FÉDYA. How can I?  
MÁSHA. Wait a bit, wait, wait! Let's go home; then you'll change your  
clothes.
