[Great Expectations by Charles Dickens]@TWC D-Link bookGreat Expectations ChapterXLVII
10/11
I believed not too, for, although in my brooding state I had taken no especial notice of the people behind me, I thought it likely that a face at all disfigured would have attracted my attention. When Mr.Wopsle had imparted to me all that he could recall or I extract, and when I had treated him to a little appropriate refreshment, after the fatigues of the evening, we parted.
It was between twelve and one o'clock when I reached the Temple, and the gates were shut.
No one was near me when I went in and went home. Herbert had come in, and we held a very serious council by the fire.
But there was nothing to be done, saving to communicate to Wemmick what I had that night found out, and to remind him that we waited for his hint. As I thought that I might compromise him if I went too often to the Castle, I made this communication by letter.
I wrote it before I went to bed, and went out and posted it; and again no one was near me.
