The place found was in the upper part of a house backed on a canal. We had two rooms, the second entering from the first; each had a chimney built out into the floor in the Dutch manner; and being alongside, each had the same prospect1 from the window of the top of a tree below us in a little court, of a piece of the canal, and of houses in the Hollands architecture and a church spire2 upon the further side.

The first night we were both pretty weary, and she extremely so. There was little talk between us, and I packed her off to her bed as soon as she had eaten. The first thing in the morning I wrote word to Sprott to have her mails sent on, together with a line to Alan at his chief's; and had the same dispatched, and her breakfast ready, ere I waked her. I was a little abashed7 when she came forth8 in her one habit, and the mud of the way upon her stockings. By what inquiries9 I had made, it [pg 311]seemed a good few days must pass before her mails could come to hand in Leyden, and it was plainly needful she must have a shift of things.

It pleased me to see her so innocent and thorough in this pleasure. What was more extraordinary was the passion into which I fell on it myself; being never satisfied that I had bought her enough or fine enough, and never weary of
