Next morning I was afoot early, bent on my quest in right good earnest; for I had a remorseful feeling that I had not been sufficiently diligent the day before, had spent too much time in dreaming and moralising, in which opinion I am afraid the reader will agree. Your letter tells me that something special is afoot with you, for I find in it so much about paradise and spring and sweet odours and the songs of birds.
