It had been afternoon when I awoke.
Returning to the Temple for classes that day was out of the question. Hence, I was absent for two consecutive days.
Charlotte had already come up with an excuse for my absence, so she told me not to worry about it. She seemed to have told the others that I had gone on a special assignment, under the instructions of Mr. Effenhauser.
