So he changed his mind, and went into the inn.
He entered the house almost dreading to see her whom he was seeking.
In what way should he first express his wrath?
How should he show her the wreck which by her inconstancy she had made of his happiness?
His first words must, if possible, be spoken to her alone; and yet alone he could hardly hope to find her.

And he feared her.

Though he was so resolved to speak his mind, yet he feared her.

Though he intended to fill her with remorse, yet he dreaded the effect of her words upon himself.

He knew how strong she could be, and how steadfast.
