On his return home he carefully looked at the coat-stand, and noticing that no military coat hung there he went to his study as usual; contrary to his habit, however, he did not go to bed but walked up and down the room till three in the morning.
De regreso a casa, miró el perchero y, al ver que no había ningún capote de militar, pasó a sus habitaciones. Contra su costumbre, no se acostó, sino que estuvo paseando por la estancia hasta las tres de la madrugada.
