She was a friendly great beast, breathing and blowing all round him. He could hear her, and feel her. On Beachy Head he had been a fly crawling on her hide; now he was the same fly swallowed.

Poor Aunt Maria, in her regular daily visit she dared venture no more to the sick-room door, would sometimes say hesitatingly, "My dear, how well you look still? You are sure you are not breaking down?" And Christian, grateful for the only kindly woman's face she ever saw near her, would respond with a smile sometimes with a kiss, which always alarmed Aunt Maria exceedingly.
Patty spoke so whole-heartedly there was no doubt of her sincerity, and Azalea looked grateful and pleased, yet, she looked troubled too.
