Excerpt from Rube Whether he did this out of genuine brotherly and filial pity or through pure irritation or through the lazy desire not to have any accounts to go over and disputes to settle, he him self could not have told, as he dropped the letter into the mail-box, and remained for an instant with his hand Open and suspended as if he could take the letter back. Generally he interpreted his own actions and thoughts in the most unfavour able sense, and he could not forgive himself for not yet having mourned his father with tears. So that when there came to him a sort of certificate of merit, to which his mother - who did not write often because she was not highly educated - to gether with Sofia and Lucietta had signed their names one after the other, and in which they had declared him the family benefactor and prayed to God for the prosperity of her golden hearted son, he crumpled the sheet and thrust it deep into his inside pocket, running to the window so as not to feel the flames of remorse that burned his cheeks.
