Annotated text:
The best I had done seemed to me blank and
suspicious, my great thoughts as I supposed
them, were they not in reality meagre? Next
day I would have to pay for all I had had of
solace, and for all I would have later. It would, I
thought, have seemed impossible to link Will’s
friend Ben with Will’s wife, and yet they went
off together, or at least on that same day : the
bricklayer out of Annandale and the inheritor
of the second-best bed : strange bedfellows.
Underneath this stone, he had said, doth lie as
much Beauty as could die ; but of course he
hadn’t been talking about her. Nor had either
had anything to do with my waking, my strong
tea, and my first pill. That all happened by the
Mole, and there was the oldest brass in
England, saying : SIRE : IOHAN :
DAUBERNOUN : CHIVALER : GIST : ICY :
DEV : DE : SA : ALME : EYT : MERCY. Good
enough. We have circled and circled till we
have arrived home again, we two.
