At one time he disappeared, and was found wandering, bewildered, in a town many miles from that where he was residing. Whoever his enemies may have been, if they really existed, he did not fall a victim to their plots, so far as known to or remembered by this witness. Various interpretations were put upon his story.

No, my good lady, replied I, for the sake of Heaven do not so; moderate your anger, consider that they are my brothers, and that we must do good for evil.
