In the afternoon, when everyone had gone out, Sir Francis took me into his snuggery and said: "Halifax, I am very sorry about that matter last night. It is quite true, as my brother said, that steps have been heard about this house, but I never gave heed to such things, putting all noises down to rats. IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN EVERYONE HAD GONE OUT SIR FRANCIS TOOK ME INTO HIS SNUGGERY AND SAID HALIFAX I AM VERY SORRY ABOUT THAT MATTER LAST NIGHT IT IS QUITE TRUE AS MY BROTHER SAID THAT STEPS HAVE BEEN HEARD ABOUT THIS HOUSE BUT I NEVER GAVE HEED TO SUCH THINGS PUTTING ALL NOISES DOWN TO RATS
 feel inclined to go to bed, read--here are books. I must go to Lady Lynton, who is a good deal frightened, and does not like to be left alone." He then went to his bedroom. Sleep, as far as I was concerned, was out of the question, nor do I think that Sir Francis or his wife slept much either. I made up the fire, and after a time took up a book, and tried to read, but it was useless. I sat absorbed in thoughts and questionings till I heard the servants stirring in the morning. I then went to my own room, left the candle burning, and got into bed. I had just fallen asleep when my servant brought me a cup of tea at eight o'clock. At breakfast Colonel Hampshire and his wife asked if anything had happened in the night, as they had been much disturbed by noises overhead, to which Lynton replied that I had not been very well, and had an attack of cramp, and that he had been upstairs to look after me. From his manner I could see that he wished me to be silent, and I said nothing accordingly.  STAY HERE AND IF YOU DO NOT FEEL INCLINED TO GO TO BED READ HERE ARE BOOKS I MUST GO TO LADY LYNTON WHO IS A GOOD DEAL FRIGHTENED AND DOES NOT LIKE TO BE LEFT ALONE HE THEN WENT TO HIS BEDROOM SLEEP AS FAR AS I WAS CONCERNED WAS OUT OF THE QUESTION NOR DO I THINK THAT SIR FRANCIS OR HIS WIFE SLEPT MUCH EITHER I MADE UP THE FIRE AND AFTER A TIME TOOK UP A BOOK AND TRIED TO READ BUT IT WAS USELESS I SAT ABSORBED IN THOUGHTS AND QUESTIONINGS TILL I HEARD THE SERVANTS STIRRING IN THE MORNING I THEN WENT TO MY OWN ROOM LEFT THE CANDLE BURNING AND GOT INTO BED I HAD JUST FALLEN ASLEEP WHEN MY SERVANT BROUGHT ME A CUP OF TEA AT EIGHT O'CLOCK AT BREAKFAST COLONEL HAMPSHIRE AND HIS WIFE ASKED IF ANYTHING HAD HAPPENED IN THE NIGHT AS THEY HAD BEEN MUCH DISTURBED BY NOISES OVERHEAD TO WHICH LYNTON REPLIED THAT I HAD NOT BEEN VERY WELL AND HAD AN ATTACK OF CRAMP AND THAT HE HAD BEEN UPSTAIRS TO LOOK AFTER ME FROM HIS MANNER I COULD SEE THAT HE WISHED ME TO BE SILENT AND I SAID NOTHING ACCORDINGLY
