On this he went to the kitchen, wiped
some plates with cloth, held them to
the hre as if he had wanted to dry them,
and IN like manner cleaned the other
plates. These preparations completed,
ne returned to the beaufet, put the cloth
and napkins into small basket, and
went, loaded with all things, directly to
table where there used to be lighted
candle. Having by the light of this can
die seemed to search for knife and
3ork, he carried back the basket and shut
the beaufet; and having afterwards car
red into the antichamber every thing he
had taken out of the beaufet and placed
1t upon chair, he took round table, at
winch the marchloness, his lady, used
10 eat, and covered it with great neat
ness. Beside it was another table, of the
same form this he sometimes touched
by mistake but always returned to that
ne wanted to cover. Now, that his bu-
5lness was finished, he walked about.
bowed his nose, and took out his tobac-
co-box again; but withdrew his fingers
from 1t without offering to take any to-
Oacco, as II he recOllectcd, at the distance
OF at least two hours, that there was
none IN 1t: yet, though he could not pro-
cure quid, he found few grains to
throw upon his hand. Here concluded
the hrst scene. The people about him
threw some water upon his face and he
awoke.
" The next day, while Necretti was
get awake, the marquis received com
pany in his chamber circumstance
which rarely happened. As the visitors
increased, SO increased the demand for
chairs. Negretti, having in the interim
fallen asleep, rose up, after a short nap,
and, after blowing his nose, paid his re-
sPects TO the tobacco-box, and hurried
away in search of chairs. What is the
most remarkable is, that while he held
one chair with both hands, he came to
the door, which was shut; when, instead
OF knocking at it, he let go one hand
from the chair, opened the door, took
up the chair as before, and carried it 70
the very place 1t ought to have been in.
This done, he went to the beaufet.
searched for the key of it, and seemed
20 be vexed that he could not find it.
