Adelle asked, feeling that if there was a woman in the situation another line of argument might be used. "Married! Hell, no! What do I want of being married?"

"It can't wake him out of his sleep, and I'd like to see him till the last. Is Mrs. Morton there still?" Bella came to her. "Did you see him go?" she asked.

On a steadier view he perceived it was only on the point of becoming so, for he heard one or two of these low, deep, and hard-drawn sighs, that precede dissolution when the frame is tenacious of life.
He who was at once like a son and brother to my father, he who should have crowned a forty-years' friendship by the fulfilment of this pious task, and who would have done it with a stronger and a steadier hand than mine, BELLOWS, was called first from that "fair companionship," while still in the unbroken exercise of the varied and remarkable powers which made his life one of such large use, blessing, and pleasure to the world.
