At this period, our first conference ended.

After a talk, which had commenced at a late hour, and had continued many hours, it was time to sleep, and it was agreed that next morning the conference should be renewed.
On retiring to my pillow, and reviewing all the circumstances of this interview, my mind was filled with apprehension and disquiet.

I seemed to recollect a thousand things, which showed that Ludloe was not fully satisfied with my part in this interview.

A strange and nameless mixture of wrath and of pity appeared, on recollection, in the glances which, from time to time, he cast upon me.

Some emotion played upon his features, in which, as my fears conceived, there was a tincture of resentment and ferocity.
