Razumov walked straight home on the wet glistening1 pavement. A heavy shower passed over him; distant lightning played faintly against the fronts of the dumb houses with the shuttered shops all along the Rue2 de Carouge; and now and then, after the faint flash, there was a faint, sleepy rumble3; but the main forces of the thunderstorm remained massed down the Rhone valley as if loath4 to attack the respectable and passionless abode5 of democratic liberty, the serious-minded town of dreary7 hotels, tendering the same indifferent, hospitality to tourists of all nations and to international conspirators8 of every shade.
The owner of the shop was making ready to close when Razumov entered and without a word extended his hand for the key of his room. On reaching it for him, from a shelf, the man was about to pass a small joke as to taking the air in a thunderstorm, but, after looking at the face of his lodger9, he only observed, just to say something —
“You’ve got very wet.”
“Yes, I am washed clean,” muttered Razumov, who was dripping from head to foot, and passed through the inner door towards the staircase leading to his room.
He did not change his clothes, but, after lighting10 the candle, took off his watch and chain, laid them on the table, and sat down at once to write. The book of his compromising record was kept in a locked drawer, which he pulled out violently, and did not even trouble to push back afterwards.
