read up/ fancy/ in an unthinking moment/ indolently

[vil]

Dear teachers,

Would you share with me your opinion concerning the interpretation of the expressions in bold in the following sentences?

I remember going to the British Museum one day to read up the treatment for some slight ailment of which I had a touch — hay fever, I fancy it was. I got down the book, and read all I came to read; and then, in an unthinking moment, I idly turned the leaves, and began to indolently study diseases, generally..

read up = study or learn by reading, study specially, inquire further into

fancy = guess

in an unthinking moment = involuntarily, without a second thought, as a matter of course

indolently = without showing an interest in

Thank you for your efforts.

Regards,

V

I think that indolently means studying without much application or dedication rather than a lack of interest here.
