` You may go , ' said he , ` if you 've done ; I do n't want you . ' I rose and withdrew to the next room , wondering if we were to have another such miserable day as yesterday , and wishing intensely for an end of these mutually inflicted torments . Shortly after I heard him ring the bell and give some orders about his wardrobe that sounded as if he meditated a long journey . He then sent for the coachman , and I heard something about the carriage and the horses , and London , and seven o'clock to-morrow morning , that startled and disturbed me not a little . ` I must not let him go to London , whatever comes of it , ' said I to myself ; ` he will run into all kinds of mischief , and I shall be the cause of it . But the question is , How am I to alter his purpose ? Well , I will wait awhile , and see if he mentions it . '
