At Sonia's entrance, Razumihin, who had been sitting on one of

Raskolnikov's three chairs, close to the door, got up to allow

her to enter. Raskolnikov had at first shown her the place on the

sofa where Zossimov had been sitting, but feeling that the sofa

which served him as a bed, was too familiar a place, he hurriedly

motioned her to Razumihin's chair.

"You sit here," he said to Razumihin, putting him on the sofa.

Sonia sat down, almost shaking with terror, and looked timidly at

the two ladies. It was evidently almost inconceivable to herself

that she could sit down beside them. At the thought of it, she

was so frightened that she hurriedly got up again, and in utter

confusion addressed Raskolnikov.
