I do not think I gave any one reason to suppose that I was a man whose attention had been called to a notice not to trespass.
As usual, I communed with myself before going to bed.

Wherefore this feeling of disappointment?
What did it mean?
Would I have said anything of importance, of moment, to Mrs.Chester, if the boy Percy had given me an opportunity?
What would I have said?
What could I have said?
I could see that she did not wish that I should say anything, and now I knew the reason for it.

It was all plain enough on her side.
Even if she had allowed herself any sort of emotion regarding me, she did not wish me to indulge in anything of the land.

But as for myself.
I could decide nothing about myself.
I smiled grimly as my eyes fell upon the little box of capsules.

My first thought was that I should take two of them, but then I shook my head.
