Explanation:

1. In "the form of the unknown might now in some degree be ascertained", "ascertained" means discovered as one is trying to figure out the form of the unknown.
2. "Swathed about his forehead" implies that something is wrapped around his forehead, so "swathed" means wrapped.
3. "As you are engaged" indicates that the person is occupied, so "engaged" means occupied.
4. "I suffered him to hurry me" means that the speaker allowed Fortunato to hurry him, so "suffered" means allowed.
