After dinner we returned to the room.
It was a singular and a delightful position.

I was left alone with the beautiful Almah, who herself showed the utmost graciousness and the kindest interest in me.

I could not understand it, nor did I try to; it was enough that I had such a happy lot.

For hours we thus were together, and I learned many words.

To insure remembrance, I wrote them down in my memorandum-book with a pencil and both of these were regarded by Almah with greatest curiosity.
