I was admitted as a member of his family.

When I expressed my uncertainty as to the place to which it would be proper for me to repair, he gave me a blunt but cordial invitation to his house.

My circumstances allowed me no option and I readily complied.

My attention was for a time engrossed by a diversified succession of new objects.
Their novelty however disappearing, left me at liberty to turn my eyes upon myself and my companion, and here my reflections were supplied with abundant food.
His house was spacious and commodious, and furnished with profusion and elegance.

A suit of apartments was assigned to me, in which I was permitted to reign uncontroled and access was permitted to a well furnished library.
