"Now," said Bai-Jove-Judson, on whom the last remark was lost, "will you have the goodness to explain what the deuce you mean by all this nonsense?"

Manella looked at her wonderingly "Ah, that is because he is not himself yet" she said "The crash of the rocks the pouring of the flood this was enough to kill him but he will recover in a little while and he will know you! yes, he will know you, and he will thank God for life to see you!"
