six o'clock in the evening
I tried at first to dissuade him from his project , urging him to consider his weak state of health . He replied that he felt somewhat stronger , and had something that he particularly wished me to see in Naples . This done , it would be better to return at once to England : he could , he thought , bear the journey if we travelled by very short stages . Shortly after six o'clock in the evening we left the Villa de Angelis . The day had been as usual cloudlessly serene ; but a gentle sea-breeze , of which I have spoken , rose in the afternoon and brought with it a refreshing coolness . We had arranged a sort of couch in the landau with many cushions for my brother , and he mounted into the carriage with more ease than I had expected . I sat beside him , with Raffaelle facing me on the opposite seat .
