Carwin, unable to comprehend my folly, ascribed my behaviour to my knowledge.

He conceived himself previously detected, and such detection being possible to flow only from MY heavenly friend, and HIS enemy, his fears acquired additional strength.
He is apprized of the nature and intentions of this being.

Perhaps he is a human agent.

Yet, on that supposition his atchievements are incredible.

Why should I be selected as the object of his care; or, if a mere mortal, should I not recognize some one, whom, benefits imparted and received had prompted to love me?
What were the limits and duration of his guardianship?
Was the genius of my birth entrusted by divine benignity with this province?
Are human faculties adequate to receive stronger proofs of the existence of unfettered and beneficent intelligences than I have received?
But who was this man's coadjutor?
The voice that acknowledged an alliance in treachery with Carwin warned me to avoid the summer-house.
He assured me that there only my safety was endangered.
