However, I was so enamoured of this place, that I spent much of my time there for the whole of the remaining part of the month of July; and though upon second thoughts, I resolved not to remove, yet I built me a little kind of a bower, and surrounded it at a distance with a strong fence, being a double hedge, as high as I could reach, well staked and filled between with brushwood; and here I lay very secure, sometimes two or three nights together; always going over it with a ladder; so that I fancied now I had my country house and my sea-coast house; and this work took me up to the beginning of August.
No obstante, estaba tan enamorado de ese lugar que pasé allí gran parte del resto del mes de julio y, a pesar de haber decidido que no me mudaría, me construí una especie de emparrado que rodeé, a cierta distancia, con una fuerte verja de dos filas de estacas, tan altas como me fue posible, bien enterradas y rellenas de maleza. Allí dormía seguro dos o tres noches seguidas, pasando por encima de la valla con una escalera, como antes, y ahora me figuraba que tenía una casa en el campo y otra en la costa.
