在經历一个不可思议的夜晚后，是什么让“我”度过了一段平静的时光？又是什么打破了这种平静？
Before he could touch me， I jumped off the bed and ran downstairs into the garden. I stayed there all night， but I could not think clearly. I was afraid. And when morning came， I went out into the town and began to walk about.
I did not notice where I was walking， but soon I came to the station. A train from Geneva had just arrived， and the passengers were leaving the station. One of them ran towards me when he saw me. It was my dear friend Henry Clerval. He was very pleased to see me. He took my hand and shook it warmly.
“My dear Victor！” he said. “What a lucky chance that you are here at the station. Your father， and Elizabeth and the others， are very worried about you， because you have not visited them for a long time. They ask me to make sure that you are well. And I have very good news. My father has agreed to let me study at the university， so we shall be able to spend a lot of time together.”
I was very happy to hear this news， and for a moment I forgot my fears. I took Henry back to my flat and asked him to wait outside while I went in to look. I was afraid that the creature was still there. But he had disappeared. At that time I did not think of other people， and what the creature could do to them. I took Henry into the flat and cooked a meal for us. But Henry noticed how thin I was， and that I was laughing too much and could not sit still.
Suddenly he said， “My dear Victor， what is the matter with you？ Are you ill？ Has something awful happened？”
“Dont ask me that，” I cried. I put my hands over my eyes. I thought I could see the horrible creature there in front of me. I pointed wildly across the room， and shouted， “He can tell you. Save me！ Save me！” I tried to fight the creature， but there was nothing there. Then I fainted and fell to the floor.
Poor Henry！I do not know what he thought. He called a doctor and they put me to bed. I was very ill for two months， and Henry stayed and looked after me. His loving care saved me from death.
I wanted to go home and see my family as soon as possible. When I was well enough， I packed my clothes and books. All my luggage was ready， and I was feeling very happy when the postman arrived with some letters. One of the letters ended my short time of happiness.
