The people in the village pelted him with stones and beat him with sticks, though he attempts to make overtures of friendship. He finally comes upon a miserable hovel; this is attached to a cottage of poor but respectable appearance. Exhausted, he takes refuge there "from the inclemency of the weather and from... the barbarity of man." The creature, in observing the cottage's three inhabitants, contrives a great affection for the beauty and nobility of their faces. They ­ an old man, a young man, and a young woman ­ enthrall him with the sound of their music and the cadence of their language, which he adores but cannot understand.
