THE FLORAL TELEGRAPH. 185 
Certain it is, that Sir Aldobrand 
and the adherents to this nonsensical 
opinion assert that, on the memora¬ 
ble 25th of June, mentioned in the 
first part of my narrative, at the hour 
of seven in the evening, when the last 
dinner-bell was rung, I was no where 
to be found; that I was missing 
all the following night, and that, 
about four in the morning, I was 
found insensible, at the bottom of a 
dry ditch, having evidently forced 
open, with my back, an old door that 
gave entrance to a long disused Flow¬ 
er-Garden ; and that it was not till 
o 
the first of July that I recovered my 
u 3 
consciousness.
