ABSTRACT
Two days subsequent to this conversation Mr Falkland ordered me to be called to him. (I shall continue to speak in my narrative of the silent, as well as the articulate part of the intercourse between us. His countenance was habitually animated and expressive much beyond that of any other man I have seen. The curiosity, which, as I have said, constituted at this time my ruling passion, stimulated me to make it my perpetual study. It will also most probably happen, while I am thus employed in collecting 35 [together] the scattered incidents of my history, that I shall upon some occasions annex to appearances an explanation, which I was far from possessing at the time, and was only suggested to me through the medium of subsequent events.) /
