Grace had a favorable crisis, and in a few days more she was out of danger, but in a deplorable state of weakness.
Coventry watched all her moods; and when she reached the listless stage, he came softly on again, and began to recover his lost ground. On the fifth of January occurred a rather curious coincidence. In Hillsborough Dr. Amboyne offered his services to Mrs. Little to reconcile her and her brother. Mrs.
The gaping wound that let out that precious life, her eye never ceased to see it, nor her own heart to bleed with it, while she lived. She was gently dragged away, and supported down to another room.

No, Grace, not for these three days." He sat down and groaned aloud. "You love the son," said he, "but I love the mother: loved her years before you were born." At this unexpected revelation Grace Carden kissed him, and wept on his shoulder. Then they went sadly home again. Doctor Amboyne now gave up all hopes of Henry, and his anxiety was concentrated on Mrs. Little.
