But excuse this digression: I return to the subject which I quitted.
I obeyed the instructions of Agnes.

I proceeded to Munich.

There I left my Chaise under the care of Lucas, my French Servant, and then returned on Horseback to a small Village about four miles distant from the Castle of Lindenberg.

Upon arriving there a story was related to the Host at whose Inn I descended, which prevented his wondering at my making so long a stay in his House.

The old Man fortunately was credulous and incurious: He believed all I said, and sought to know no more than what I thought proper to tell him.
