These he brought out without examining , as he presumed that they contained what was of value , or they would not be locked . When he had collected everything , he found that he had already more than the cart could carry in one trip ; and he wanted to take some bedding with him , as he had not a spare bed in the cottage to give to the boy . Edward decided in his own mind that he would take the most valuable articles away that night , and return with the cart for the remainder early on the following morning . It was now past noon , and Edward took out of the cupboard what victuals were left , and then went into the chamber where the boy was , and begged that he would eat something . The poor boy said that he had no appetite ; but Edward insisted , and at last prevailed upon him to eat some bread and drink a glass of wine , which proved of great service to him . The poor fellow shuddered as he saw the body covered up in the corner of the room , but said nothing . Edward was trying to make him eat a little more , when Pablo made his appearance at the door .
