No one had ever visited me before by night in this way. I could not imagine who it could be or what he for it was the tread of a man that I had heard could want. I turned cold and shivered. But a moment's thought told me that after all it might be only a policeman, suspecting burglars, come to inquire why my light was burning, or it might be a "mistake."
