Adversity had made Ellen as she was, and self-control had become her second nature, long before she knew the meaning of the word. The intelligence of Herbert's death, though deferred till St.
On the left side of the dying youth stood Arthur Myrvin, who, from the moment of his arrival at Oakwood, had never once left Herbert's couch, night and day he remained beside him; and near Arthur, but yet closer to her cousin, knelt the orphan, her eyes tearless indeed, but her whole countenance so haggard and wan, that had not all been engrossed in individual suffering, it could not have passed unobserved.
