"
The
sun
rose
;
I
heard
the
voices
of
men
and
knew
that
it
was
impossible
to
return
to
my
retreat
during
that
day
.
Accordingly
I
hid
myself
in
some
thick
underwood
,
determining
to
devote
the
ensuing
hours
to
reflection
on
my
situation
.
482
"
The
pleasant
sunshine
and
the
pure
air
of
day
restored
me
to
some
degree
of
tranquillity
;
and
when
I
considered
what
had
passed
at
the
cottage
,
I
could
not
help
believing
that
I
had
been
too
hasty
in
my
conclusions
.
I
had
certainly
acted
imprudently
.
It
was
apparent
that
my
conversation
had
interested
the
father
in
my
behalf
,
and
I
was
a
fool
in
having
exposed
my
person
to
the
horror
of
his
children
.
I
ought
to
have
familiarized
the
old
De
Lacey
to
me
,
and
by
degrees
to
have
discovered
myself
to
the
rest
of
his
family
,
when
they
should
have
been
prepared
for
my
approach
.
But
I
did
not
believe
my
errors
to
be
irretrievable
,
and
after
much
consideration
I
resolved
to
return
to
the
cottage
,
seek
the
old
man
,
and
by
my
representations
win
him
to
my
party
.
483
"
These
thoughts
calmed
me
,
and
in
the
afternoon
I
sank
into
a
profound
sleep
;
but
the
fever
of
my
blood
did
not
allow
me
to
be
visited
by
peaceful
dreams
.
The
horrible
scene
of
the
preceding
day
was
forever
acting
before
my
eyes
;
the
females
were
flying
and
the
enraged
Felix
tearing
me
from
his
father
's
feet
.
I
awoke
exhausted
,
and
finding
that
it
was
already
night
,
I
crept
forth
from
my
hiding-place
,
and
went
in
search
of
food
.

"
When
my
hunger
was
appeased
,
I
directed
my
steps
towards
the
well-known
path
that
conducted
to
the
cottage
.
All
there
was
at
peace
.
I
crept
into
my
hovel
and
remained
in
silent
expectation
of
the
accustomed
hour
when
the
family
arose
.
That
hour
passed
,
the
sun
mounted
high
in
the
heavens
,
but
the
cottagers
did
not
appear
.
I
trembled
violently
,
apprehending
some
dreadful
misfortune
.
The
inside
of
the
cottage
was
dark
,
and
I
heard
no
motion
;
I
can
not
describe
the
agony
of
this
suspense
.
485
"
Presently
two
countrymen
passed
by
,
but
pausing
near
the
cottage
,
they
entered
into
conversation
,
using
violent
gesticulations
;
but
I
did
not
understand
what
they
said
,
as
they
spoke
the
language
of
the
country
,
which
differed
from
that
of
my
protectors
.
486
Soon
after
,
however
,
Felix
approached
with
another
man
;
I
was
surprised
,
as
I
knew
that
he
had
not
quitted
the
cottage
that
morning
,
and
waited
anxiously
to
discover
from
his
discourse
the
meaning
of
these
unusual
appearances
.
487
"
'
Do
you
consider
,
'
said
his
companion
to
him
,
'
that
you
will
be
obliged
to
pay
three
months
'
rent
and
to
lose
the
produce
of
your
garden
?
I
do
not
wish
to
take
any
unfair
advantage
,
and
I
beg
therefore
that
you
will
take
some
days
to
consider
of
your
determination
.

'
It
is
utterly
useless
,
'
replied
Felix
;
'
we
can
never
again
inhabit
your
cottage
.
The
life
of
my
father
is
in
the
greatest
danger
,
owing
to
the
dreadful
circumstance
that
I
have
related
.
My
wife
and
my
sister
will
never
recover
from
their
horror
.
I
entreat
you
not
to
reason
with
me
any
more
.
Take
possession
of
your
tenement
and
let
me
fly
from
this
place
.
'
489
"
Felix
trembled
violently
as
he
said
this
.
He
and
his
companion
entered
the
cottage
,
in
which
they
remained
for
a
few
minutes
,
and
then
departed
.
I
never
saw
any
of
the
family
of
De
Lacey
more
.
490
"
I
continued
for
the
remainder
of
the
day
in
my
hovel
in
a
state
of
utter
and
stupid
despair
.
My
protectors
had
departed
and
had
broken
the
only
link
that
held
me
to
the
world
.
For
the
first
time
the
feelings
of
revenge
and
hatred
filled
my
bosom
,
and
I
did
not
strive
to
control
them
,
but
allowing
myself
to
be
borne
away
by
the
stream
,
I
bent
my
mind
towards
injury
and
death
.
When
I
thought
of
my
friends
,
of
the
mild
voice
of
De
Lacey
,
the
gentle
eyes
of
Agatha
,
and
the
exquisite
beauty
of
the
Arabian
,
these
thoughts
vanished
and
a
gush
of
tears
somewhat
soothed
me
.
But
again
when
I
reflected
that
they
had
spurned
and
deserted
me
,
anger
returned
,
a
rage
of
anger
,
and
unable
to
injure
anything
human
,
I
turned
my
fury
towards
inanimate
objects
.
