I used to at first; but that bitterness has all gone away.

I was so restless early this morning that before daylight I was out exploring on the mountain-side.

By chance I came across a secret place just as the day was breaking.

Indeed, it was by the change of light as the first sun-rays seemed to fall down the mountain-side that my attention was called to an opening shown by a light behind it.

It was, indeed, a secret place--so secret that I thought at first I should keep it to myself.

In such a place as this either to hide in or to be able to prevent anyone else hiding in might on occasion be an asset of safety.
When, however, I saw indications rather than traces that someone had already used it to camp in, I changed my mind, and thought that whenever I should get an opportunity I would tell the Vladika of it, as he is a man on whose discretion I can rely.
