What with the journey and my morning's peregrinations I was so exhausted that I requested nothing but a resting-place, which I found among the old chests and baskets on the floor.

I was right glad to lie down, and court the rest that I needed so much.
At seven o'clock in the evening the school closed.

Miss K.then took her leave, and I remained sole occupant of her two rooms, which she only uses as school-rooms, for she sleeps at her brother's house.
My lodging at Miss K.'s was, however, the most uncomfortable of any I had yet occupied during my entire journey.
From eight o'clock in the morning until seven at night four or five girls, who did any thing rather than study, were continually in the room.

The whole day long there was such a noise of shouting, screaming, and jumping about, that I could not hear the sound of my own voice.

Moreover, the higher regions of this hall of audience contained eight pigeons' nests; and the old birds, which were so tame that they not only took the food from our plates, but stole it out of our very mouths, fluttered continually about the room, so that we were obliged to look very attentively at every chair on which we intended to sit down.
