He could not have been returning from seeing Denis, who was not only much better, but was in the room beyond his own.

And why had he still got on his evening clothes at four o'clock in the morning?
I determined to ask him about it next day, as I got back into bed again, and then, while wondering about it and trying to get warm, I fell fast asleep.

I was only roused, after being twice called, to find that it was broad daylight, and to hear being carried down the boxes of many of the guests who were leaving by an early train.
I was late, but not so late as some.

Breakfast was still going on.
Evelyn and Ralph had been up to see their friends off, but General and Mrs.Marston and Carr, who was staying on, came in after I did.

Lady Mary and Aurelia were having breakfast in their own rooms.
