After viewing various parts of the city, intruding into churches, and diving into alleys, I returned.

The rest of the day I spent chiefly in my chamber, reflecting on my new condition; surveying my apartment, its presses and closets; and conjecturing the causes of appearances.
At dinner and supper I was alone.

Venturing to inquire of the servant where his master and mistress were, I was answered that they were engaged.

I did not question him as to the nature of their engagement, though it was a fertile source of curiosity.
Next morning, at breakfast, I again met Welbeck and the lady.

The incidents were nearly those of the preceding morning, if it were not that the lady exhibited tokens of somewhat greater uneasiness.
