On the following morning I received a few lines from him myself, confirming Hargrave's intimations respecting his approaching return.

And he did come next week, but in a condition of body and mind even worse than before.

I did not, however, intend to pass over his derelictions this time without a remark; I found it would not do.

But the first day he was weary with his journey, and I was glad to get him back: I would not upbraid him then; I would wait till to-morrow.

Next morning he was weary still: I would wait a little longer.
