"With all my heart," said I; and Mr. Job Jonson then rose, and reminding me of my promise of secrecy, took his departure. Pectus praeceptis format amicis. Horace. Est quodam prodire tenus, si non datur ultra. Horace.
Exhausted once more, he thought of asking the monks for hospitality, but did not do so. He went down, skirting the great silent refuge of peace belonging to the Benedictines, passed, sighing, before the closed door, which said in vain quieti et amicis, and at last reached the gate of Villa Mayda. The gardener came, half dressed, to open the gate, and was greatly astonished to see him.
