Here was wrought a surprizing change in my friend.

What was it that had shaken conviction so firm?
Had any thing occurred during my fit, adequate to produce so total an alteration?
My attendants informed me that he had not left my apartment; that the unusual duration of my fit, and the failure, for a time, of all the means used for my recovery, had filled him with grief and dismay.

Did he regard the effect which his reproaches had produced as a proof of my sincerity?
In this state of mind, I little regarded my languors of body.

I rose and requested an interview with him before my departure, on which I was resolved, notwithstanding his earnest solicitation to spend the night at his house.

He complied with my request.
