About ten in the morning
The lot is cast at length . And in the bright , quiet evenings of summer , when you sometimes wander toward the mountains , let your thoughts then turn to me : recollect how often you have watched me coming to meet you from the valley ; then bend your eyes upon the churchyard which contains my grave , and , by the light of the setting sun , mark how the evening breeze waves the tall grass which grows above my tomb .

He breakfasted in his room , and then mounted his horse , and went to visit the steward , who , however , was not at home . He walked pensively in the garden , and seemed anxious to renew all the ideas that were most painful to him . The children did not suffer him to remain alone long .
