After a while of traveling Clerval and I decided to take a break in London. Clerval wanted to spend his time with philosophers, I too wished to do this but my first priority was to complete the heavy promise I had made. If by any chance had I taken this trip sooner I may have experienced more joy, but everything reminded me of my despair and sadness in life. Clerval is like the past version of me, full of joy and life. I tried to hide my true emotions for the sake of not ruining the trip for Clerval. Months later we received an invitation to visit Scotland; we gladly accepted estimating that it would only take a month.
Thoughts of Charles I flowed through our minds as we arrived in Oxford. The scenery was wonderful, it brought me some happiness. Soon as we passed by each city I started to grow impatient; when will this trip end, is my family truly alright? It finally came to the point where I told Clerval that he would have to continue the tour without me, for I needed solitude. Henry wished for me not to do this but it was to late my mind was set, it was time for me to get serious. I would finish and rid myself of this sickening task.
