"Yes, yes; I promise for him," says Dr. Bland. "In fact, I have something to say to your husband that must be told at once." "Oh, no!" shaking her lovely head emphatically, with a smile.

"It is too much to ask, but I dread being alone," he goes on, with a quick shudder of fear and repulsion. "It is a dark and terrible journey to take, with no one near who loves one, with no one to feel a single regret when one has departed." The inference is full of saddest meaning. Even Geoffrey feels the tears rise unbidden to his eyes. On a low bed, with his eyes fastened eagerly upon the door, lies Paul Rodney, the dews of death already on his face. "Who can it be?" asked the young man. "Who camps there alone, far from friends?".
