ten o'clock
The next morning Ludwig was entirely recovered . He rose , and , as was his wont , drank six tumblerfuls of water -- his usual breakfast . Of the events of the past night he spoke not one word . At ten o'clock the occupants of the Nameless Castle were to be seen out driving as usual -- the white-haired groom , the stern-visaged gentleman , and the veiled lady . That same morning Dr. Tromfszky received from the castle a packet containing his medical belongings , and an envelop in which he found a hundred-guilder bank-note , but not a single written word . Meanwhile the days passed with their usual monotony for the occupants of the Nameless Castle , and September , with its delightfully warm weather drew on apace . In Hungary the long autumn makes ample amends for the brief spring -- like the frugal mother who stores away in May gifts with which to surprise her children later in the season .
