about five in the morning
The painter , who had very little gall in his disposition , was satisfied with this apology ; but his resentment , which was before divided , now glowed with double fire against his first fellow-traveller , whom he looked upon as the author of all the mischances he had undergone , and marked out for his vengeance accordingly . Yet the doors of reconciliation were not shut against the doctor , who , with great justice , might have transferred this load of offence from himself to Peregrine , who was , without doubt , the source of the painter 's misfortune : but , in that case , he must have owned himself mistaken in his medical capacity , and he did not think the friendship of Pallet important enough to be retrieved by such condescension ; so that he resolved to neglect him entirely , and gradually forget the former correspondence he had maintained with a person whom he deemed so unworthy of his notice . Peregrine , almost distracted with his Disappointment , conjures the fair Fleming to permit his Visits at Brussels -- She withdraws from his Pursuit . Things being thus adjusted , and all the company dressed , they went to breakfast about five in the morning ; and in less than an hour after were seated in the diligence , where a profound silence prevailed . Peregrine , who used to be the life of the society , was extremely pensive and melancholy on account of his mishap , the Israelite and his dulcinea dejected in consequence of their disgrace , the poet absorbed in lofty meditation , the painter in schemes of revenge ; while Jolter , rocked by the motion of the carriage , made himself amends for the want of rest he had sustained ; and the mendicant , with his fair charge , were infected by the cloudy aspect of our youth , in whose disappointment each of them , for different reasons , bore no inconsiderable share . This general languor and recess from all bodily exercise disposed them all to receive the gentle yoke of slumber ; and in half-an-hour after they had embarked , there was not one of them awake , except our hero and his mistress , unless the Capuchin was pleased to counterfeit sleep , in order to indulge our young gentleman with an opportunity of enjoying some private conversation with his beauteous ward . Peregrine did not neglect the occasion ; but , on the contrary , seized the first minute , and , in gentle murmurs , lamented his hard hap in being thus the sport of fortune .
