A medical practitioner, who resided on the spot, was in constant attendance upon her; and after first seeing the patient, he had taken Mrs. Maylie aside, and pronounced her disorder to be one of a most alarming nature. 'In fact, he said, 'it would be little short of a miracle, if she recovered.
It is worthy of remark, and Oliver did not fail to note it at the time, that his morning expeditions were no longer made alone. Harry Maylie, after the very first morning when he met Oliver coming laden home, was seized with such a passion for flowers, and displayed such a taste in their arrangement, as left his young companion far behind.
'The only friend I ever had, cried Rose, clinging to her. 'The kindest, best of friends. My heart will burst. I cannot bear all this. 'You have borne more, and have been, through all, the best and gentlest creature that ever shed happiness on every one she knew, said Mrs. Maylie, embracing her tenderly.

The two other gentlemen hurried in and out with anxious faces, and, during the short intervals when they were present, conversed apart. Once, Mrs. Maylie was called away, and after being absent for nearly an hour, returned with eyes swollen with weeping. All these things made Rose and Oliver, who were not in any new secrets, nervous and uncomfortable.
Heaven will never let her die so young. 'Hush! said Mrs. Maylie, laying her hand on Oliver's head. 'You think like a child, poor boy. But you teach me my duty, notwithstanding.
