It
was
noon
when
I
awoke
,
and
allured
by
the
warmth
of
the
sun
,
which
shone
brightly
on
the
white
ground
,
I
determined
to
recommence
my
travels
;
and
,
depositing
the
remains
of
the
peasant
's
breakfast
in
a
wallet
I
found
,
I
proceeded
across
the
fields
for
several
hours
,
until
at
sunset
I
arrived
at
a
village
.
How
miraculous
did
this
appear
!
The
huts
,
the
neater
cottages
,
and
stately
houses
engaged
my
admiration
by
turns
.
The
vegetables
in
the
gardens
,
the
milk
and
cheese
that
I
saw
placed
at
the
windows
of
some
of
the
cottages
,
allured
my
appetite
.
One
of
the
best
of
these
I
entered
,
but
I
had
hardly
placed
my
foot
within
the
door
before
the
children
shrieked
,
and
one
of
the
women
fainted
.
The
whole
village
was
roused
;
some
fled
,
some
attacked
me
,
until
,
grievously
bruised
by
stones
and
many
other
kinds
of
missile
weapons
,
I
escaped
to
the
open
country
and
fearfully
took
refuge
in
a
low
hovel
,
quite
bare
,
and
making
a
wretched
appearance
after
the
palaces
I
had
beheld
in
the
village
.
This
hovel
however
,
joined
a
cottage
of
a
neat
and
pleasant
appearance
,
but
after
my
late
dearly
bought
experience
,
I
dared
not
enter
it
.
My
place
of
refuge
was
constructed
of
wood
,
but
so
low
that
I
could
with
difficulty
sit
upright
in
it
.
No
wood
,
however
,
was
placed
on
the
earth
,
which
formed
the
floor
,
but
it
was
dry
;
and
although
the
wind
entered
it
by
innumerable
chinks
,
I
found
it
an
agreeable
asylum
from
the
snow
and
rain
.
"
Here
,
then
,
I
retreated
and
lay
down
happy
to
have
found
a
shelter
,
however
miserable
,
from
the
inclemency
of
the
season
,
and
still
more
from
the
barbarity
of
man
.
As
soon
as
morning
dawned
I
crept
from
my
kennel
,
that
I
might
view
the
adjacent
cottage
and
discover
if
I
could
remain
in
the
habitation
I
had
found
.
It
was
situated
against
the
back
of
the
cottage
and
surrounded
on
the
sides
which
were
exposed
by
a
pig
sty
and
a
clear
pool
of
water
.
One
part
was
open
,
and
by
that
I
had
crept
in
;
but
now
I
covered
every
crevice
by
which
I
might
be
perceived
with
stones
and
wood
,
yet
in
such
a
manner
that
I
might
move
them
on
occasion
to
pass
out
;
all
the
light
I
enjoyed
came
through
the
sty
,
and
that
was
sufficient
for
me
.
"
Having
thus
arranged
my
dwelling
and
carpeted
it
with
clean
straw
,
I
retired
,
for
I
saw
the
figure
of
a
man
at
a
distance
,
and
I
remembered
too
well
my
treatment
the
night
before
to
trust
myself
in
his
power
.
I
had
first
,
however
,
provided
for
my
sustenance
for
that
day
by
a
loaf
of
coarse
bread
,
which
I
purloined
,
and
a
cup
with
which
I
could
drink
more
conveniently
than
from
my
hand
of
the
pure
water
which
flowed
by
my
retreat
.
The
floor
was
a
little
raised
,
so
that
it
was
kept
perfectly
dry
,
and
by
its
vicinity
to
the
chimney
of
the
cottage
it
was
tolerably
warm
.
"
Being
thus
provided
,
I
resolved
to
reside
in
this
hovel
until
something
should
occur
which
might
alter
my
determination
.
It
was
indeed
a
paradise
compared
to
the
bleak
forest
,
my
former
residence
,
the
rain-dropping
branches
,
and
dank
earth
.
I
ate
my
breakfast
with
pleasure
and
was
about
to
remove
a
plank
to
procure
myself
a
little
water
when
I
heard
a
step
,
and
looking
through
a
small
chink
,
I
beheld
a
young
creature
,
with
a
pail
on
her
head
,
passing
before
my
hovel
.
The
girl
was
young
and
of
gentle
demeanour
,
unlike
what
I
have
since
found
cottagers
and
farmhouse
servants
to
be
.
Yet
she
was
meanly
dressed
,
a
coarse
blue
petticoat
and
a
linen
jacket
being
her
only
garb
;
her
fair
hair
was
plaited
but
not
adorned
:
she
looked
patient
yet
sad
.
I
lost
sight
of
her
,
and
in
about
a
quarter
of
an
hour
she
returned
bearing
the
pail
,
which
was
now
partly
filled
with
milk
.
As
she
walked
along
,
seemingly
incommoded
by
the
burden
,
a
young
man
met
her
,
whose
countenance
expressed
a
deeper
despondence
.
Uttering
a
few
sounds
with
an
air
of
melancholy
,
he
took
the
pail
from
her
head
and
bore
it
to
the
cottage
himself
.
She
followed
,
and
they
disappeared
.
Presently
I
saw
the
young
man
again
,
with
some
tools
in
his
hand
,
cross
the
field
behind
the
cottage
;
and
the
girl
was
also
busied
,
sometimes
in
the
house
and
sometimes
in
the
yard
.
"
On
examining
my
dwelling
,
I
found
that
one
of
the
windows
of
the
cottage
had
formerly
occupied
a
part
of
it
,
but
the
panes
had
been
filled
up
with
wood
.
In
one
of
these
was
a
small
and
almost
imperceptible
chink
through
which
the
eye
could
just
penetrate
.
Through
this
crevice
a
small
room
was
visible
,
whitewashed
and
clean
but
very
bare
of
furniture
.
In
one
corner
,
near
a
small
fire
,
sat
an
old
man
,
leaning
his
head
on
his
hands
in
a
disconsolate
attitude
.
The
young
girl
was
occupied
in
arranging
the
cottage
;
but
presently
she
took
something
out
of
a
drawer
,
which
employed
her
hands
,
and
she
sat
down
beside
the
old
man
,
who
,
taking
up
an
instrument
,
began
to
play
and
to
produce
sounds
sweeter
than
the
voice
of
the
thrush
or
the
nightingale
.
It
was
a
lovely
sight
,
even
to
me
,
poor
wretch
who
had
never
beheld
aught
beautiful
before
.
The
silver
hair
and
benevolent
countenance
of
the
aged
cottager
won
my
reverence
,
while
the
gentle
manners
of
the
girl
enticed
my
love
.
He
played
a
sweet
mournful
air
which
I
perceived
drew
tears
from
the
eyes
of
his
amiable
companion
,
of
which
the
old
man
took
no
notice
,
until
she
sobbed
audibly
;
he
then
pronounced
a
few
sounds
,
and
the
fair
creature
,
leaving
her
work
,
knelt
at
his
feet
.
He
raised
her
and
smiled
with
such
kindness
and
affection
that
I
felt
sensations
of
a
peculiar
and
overpowering
nature
;
they
were
a
mixture
of
pain
and
pleasure
,
such
as
I
had
never
before
experienced
,
either
from
hunger
or
cold
,
warmth
or
food
;
and
I
withdrew
from
the
window
,
unable
to
bear
these
emotions
.
"
Soon
after
this
the
young
man
returned
,
bearing
on
his
shoulders
a
load
of
wood
.
The
girl
met
him
at
the
door
,
helped
to
relieve
him
of
his
burden
,
and
taking
some
of
the
fuel
into
the
cottage
,
placed
it
on
the
fire
;
then
she
and
the
youth
went
apart
into
a
nook
of
the
cottage
,
and
he
showed
her
a
large
loaf
and
a
piece
of
cheese
.
She
seemed
pleased
and
went
into
the
garden
for
some
roots
and
plants
,
which
she
placed
in
water
,
and
then
upon
the
fire
.
She
afterwards
continued
her
work
,
whilst
the
young
man
went
into
the
garden
and
appeared
busily
employed
in
digging
and
pulling
up
roots
.
After
he
had
been
employed
thus
about
an
hour
,
the
young
woman
joined
him
and
they
entered
the
cottage
together
.
"
The
old
man
had
,
in
the
meantime
,
been
pensive
,
but
on
the
appearance
of
his
companions
he
assumed
a
more
cheerful
air
,
and
they
sat
down
to
eat
.
The
meal
was
quickly
dispatched
.
The
young
woman
was
again
occupied
in
arranging
the
cottage
,
the
old
man
walked
before
the
cottage
in
the
sun
for
a
few
minutes
,
leaning
on
the
arm
of
the
youth
.
Nothing
could
exceed
in
beauty
the
contrast
between
these
two
excellent
creatures
.
One
was
old
,
with
silver
hairs
and
a
countenance
beaming
with
benevolence
and
love
;
the
younger
was
slight
and
graceful
in
his
figure
,
and
his
features
were
moulded
with
the
finest
symmetry
,
yet
his
eyes
and
attitude
expressed
the
utmost
sadness
and
despondency
.
The
old
man
returned
to
the
cottage
,
and
the
youth
,
with
tools
different
from
those
he
had
used
in
the
morning
,
directed
his
steps
across
the
fields
.
"
Night
quickly
shut
in
,
but
to
my
extreme
wonder
,
I
found
that
the
cottagers
had
a
means
of
prolonging
light
by
the
use
of
tapers
,
and
was
delighted
to
find
that
the
setting
of
the
sun
did
not
put
an
end
to
the
pleasure
I
experienced
in
watching
my
human
neighbours
.
In
the
evening
the
young
girl
and
her
companion
were
employed
in
various
occupations
which
I
did
not
understand
;
and
the
old
man
again
took
up
the
instrument
which
produced
the
divine
sounds
that
had
enchanted
me
in
the
morning
.
So
soon
as
he
had
finished
,
the
youth
began
,
not
to
play
,
but
to
utter
sounds
that
were
monotonous
,
and
neither
resembling
the
harmony
of
the
old
man
's
instrument
nor
the
songs
of
the
birds
;
I
since
found
that
he
read
aloud
,
but
at
that
time
I
knew
nothing
of
the
science
of
words
or
letters
.
"
The
family
,
after
having
been
thus
occupied
for
a
short
time
,
extinguished
their
lights
and
retired
,
as
I
conjectured
,
to
rest
.
"
I
lay
on
my
straw
,
but
I
could
not
sleep
.
I
thought
of
the
occurrences
of
the
day
.
What
chiefly
struck
me
was
the
gentle
manners
of
these
people
,
and
I
longed
to
join
them
,
but
dared
not
.
I
remembered
too
well
the
treatment
I
had
suffered
the
night
before
from
the
barbarous
villagers
,
and
resolved
,
whatever
course
of
conduct
I
might
hereafter
think
it
right
to
pursue
,
that
for
the
present
I
would
remain
quietly
in
my
hovel
,
watching
and
endeavouring
to
discover
the
motives
which
influenced
their
actions
.
