He did make the journey, but it was too late. On the 23rd of August the day was Thursday ; the morn- ing, according to the old weather-registers, " hazy, " but the day " fine" Chatterton "appeared unusually grave;" and Y 322 CHATTERTON : Mrs. Angell, according to her own account, given while she was yet accessible, asked him " What ailed hi...m ? " to which he answered pettishly, "Nothing, nothing ! Why do you ask?" This is all that is recorded of that day, during which he seems hardly to have left the house. On the morning of the next day, Friday, the 24th of August " clouds, sunshine, and showers at intervals, " is the description of the day in the registers he "lay in bed longer than usual" (the words are Mrs. Angell's) ; " got up about ten o'clock, and went out with a bundle of papers under his arm, which, he said, 'was a treasure to any one ; but there were so many fools in the world that he would put them into a place of safety, lest they should meet with accident.
