Caesar's mother wished the lad to take his law course there, but Caesar decided to do it in Madrid. "A provincial capital is an insupportable place," he said. Caesar went to Madrid and rented a study and a bed-room, cheap and unrestricted. He boarded in one house and lodged at another. Thus he felt more free.
His bed-room and dressing-room were at the side of the gallery, directly opposite to my father's, which had a sort of ante-room en suite, in which were some of his theological books. The day after Mr. Bryerly's arrival, I was about to see whether my father's water caraffe and glass had been duly laid on the table in this ante-room, and in doubt whether he was there, I knocked at the door.
Barefoot now went into the bed-room and began singing to the children again, although they had long been asleep; she sang various songs, but most of all the waltz to which she had danced with John.

We endeavour so to arrange our lives that no one occupation or amusement should interfere with another.
The little door in question opened into a small ground-floor bed-room, in which one of the footmen slept; and nothing was more easy than for this man to shelter the nightly misdoings of his fellow-servant by letting him slip quietly through his bedroom, unknown to any member of the household.
