He acknowledged the draft under the guidance of the Pasteur , saying that he would write again when he had anything to communicate , but that as yet he had not made up his mind as to his future , and proposed to stay where he was , continuing his studies , if his father would allow him to do so . Next he took an opportunity to go to Lucerne with the Pasteur , who wished to inspect the Villa Ogilvy and consult the notary as to an inventory of its contents and arrangements for its upkeep . Godfrey , who was received by the servants with many bows , and requests that they might be allowed to continue in their employment , wandered through the big rooms which looked so desolate now , and stared until he was tired at examples of beautiful French furniture , of which he understood nothing . Then , oppressed by memories of his kind friend into whose death chamber he had blundered , and , as it seemed to him , by a sense of her presence which he imagined was warning him of something , he left the house , telling the Pasteur , who was peering about him through his blue spectacles in an innocent and interested way , that he would meet him at the five o'clock diligence . Indeed , he had business of his own to do , which seemed to him more important than all this stock-taking and legal discussion . Having plenty of money in his pocket Godfrey wished to spend some of it in presents . First , he bought a large meerschaum pipe with a flexible stem as a gift to the Pasteur , whom he had heard admire this very pipe in the shop window and express regrets that it was too expensive for his means .
