From this circumstance I inferred that this apartment had been occupied by him.
The room was neatly arranged, and appeared as if no one had lately used it.

There were trunks and drawers.

That which I have mentioned was the only one that bore marks of Wallace's ownership.

This I lifted in my arms with a view to remove it to Medlicote's house.
At that moment, methought I heard a footstep slowly and lingeringly ascending the stair.

I was disconcerted at this incident.
