When I reached there, tired, hungry, and dirty, it was late in the night.

I had never been in a large city, and this rather added to my misery.

When I reached Richmond, I was completely out of money.

I had not a single acquaintance in the place, and, being unused to city ways, I did not know where to go.

I applied at several places for lodging, but they all wanted money, and that was what I did not have.
