At this hour there are too many people passing through the city gates.

It is better for you to pass the night at the pavilion, and to-morrow morning, as soon as the gates are open, you will leave.

At daybreak you will be certain of meeting no one who would notice what direction you had taken.

I suggest this for your own sake, Julio, not mine; for suppose the officers of the law should search my summer-house, those precautions would divert their attentions from the cellar, while otherwise they would infallibly discover that the earth had been recently dug.

Perhaps, through respect for me, the bailiff may exempt my lands from search.
