But as for the other hints, they seemed not unreasonable, and promised to save me trouble; while the continued pressure of anxiety and responsibility was getting intolerable to my over-wearied brain.

Calderon de la Barca. THE stars still shone brightly when I awoke, and Taurus high in the southern heaven shewed that it was midnight.
There was something in its descriptions and imagery that recalled, Miss Darley could not say what, but it made her frightfully nervous. Still she could not help reading, till she came to one passage which so agitated her, that the tired and over-wearied girl's self-control left her entirely.
I lighted the glimmering lamp, which flickered in this damp abode of the dead; then I bore my lost one to her last bed, decently composing her limbs, and covering them with a mantle, veiling all except her face, which remained lovely and placid.
