She was "all right again," she said as she sat, but the abstraction of her eyes and the harkening droop of her head showed that inwardly she still saw and heard the death-struck boy. Suddenly she stood. "Dear, brave Connie!" she exclaimed, "we must go help her, 'Randa."
Here I lived royally, with Duke Humphrey, for many a day; and hither, one sad morning, I brought my poor friend Gray, whom I had discovered languishing somewhere in the Borough, and who was already death-struck through "sleeping out" one night in Hyde Park. "Westminster Abbey if I live, I shall be buried there!"
As I saw her fading, fading, the wife whom I had loved more than life, as I gazed on those death-struck features and saw the fatal evidences each day clearer and clearer, I became nearly mad with despair and grief." Lenora shuddered with emotion as her breast heaved convulsively under the sobs she strove to repress.
Farr caught him at the door, restraining him with a heavy hand. "You stay here, don't you let that baby die. By the gods, she sha'n't die!" "My staying will do no good, my friend. The little girl is death-struck already. It's quick work with the children. Sometimes we can bring the grown folks through.

While I speak, there are many people, with feet on the ottoman, and the gas turned on, looking down on the page, submerged, mind and soul, in the perusal of this God-forsaken periodical literature; and the last Christian mother will have put the hands of the little child under the coverlet for the night, before they will rouse up, as the city clock strikes the hour of midnight, to go death-struck to their prayerless pillows.

The whole consciousness of my life lorn, my love lost, my hope quenched, my faith death-struck, swayed full and mighty above me in one sullen mass.
The puzzle that she had begun to try to solve when Rebecca Mary's white, death-struck mother had laid her baby in Aunt Olivia's unaccustomed arms was getting a little more difficult every day. Some days Aunt Olivia wondered if she ought to give it up. Oh, this bringing up this bringing up of little children! "If I must," groaned Aunt Olivia, and got as far as taking the little diary in her hands.
