She smiled, put back her hand and brushed the dank hair from his moist brow. Mrs. Garth got up from her seat by the bedside and hobbled to the fire. There she sat on a low stool, and threw her apron over her head. Again raising the blacksmith from his pillow, Rotha put a spoonful of barley-water to his withered lips.
