Perhaps his mother and sisters, if they heard/saw him stop in, thought this - that he was on another of his excursions into the countryside and thus thought nothing of his stopping in late at night only to go out again. After all, he was 21 years old at the time so nothing was thought about it - just being his own young and irresponsible self....
