midnight
I made the best of my way upstairs , but had lost so much blood , that I had hardly spirits enough to keep me from swooning till he came in . He was equally concerned with me to see me in such a bloody condition , and presently called up our landlord , and he as quickly called in his neighbours , that I had a room full of people about me in a quarter of an hour . But this had like to have been of worse consequence to me than the other , for by this time there was great inquiring after the person who killed a man at the tennis-court . My landlord was then sensible of his mistake , and came to me and told me the danger I was in , and very honestly offered to convey me to a friend 's of his , where I should be very secure ; I thanked him , and suffered myself to be carried at midnight whither he pleased . He visited me very often , till I was well enough to walk about , which was not in less than ten days , and then we thought fit to be gone , so we took post for Orleans . But when I came upon the road I found myself in a new error , for my wound opened again with riding , and I was in a worse condition than before , being forced to take up at a little village on the road , called -- , about -- miles from Orleans , where there was no surgeon to be had , but a sorry country barber , who nevertheless dressed me as well as he could , and in about a week more I was able to walk to Orleans at three times . Here I stayed till I was quite well , and took coach for Lyons and so through Savoy into Italy .
