On April 5th…

Illustration by Sidney Paget for The Strand Magazine (1893)

April 5, 1883: Grant Munro stayed home from his office for a second day. [YELL]

I determined to say nothing about the former to my wife, for she is a nervous, highly-strung woman, and I had no wish that she should share the unpleasant impression which had been produced upon myself. I remarked to her, however, before I fell asleep that the cottage was now occupied, to which she returned no reply.
