All went on well so it seemed till one afternoon a maid came running into my sitting-room and cried out, `Oh, sir, nurse is so very ill; what must we do? I hurried up-stairs. There was the poor woman, sure enough, in a very miserable state. I couldn't make it out at all. "`Send for a doctor at once! I cried. In a little while the doctor came. I waited most anxiously for his report.

I'll report this to the Government. I'll see Sir John Franklin myself. I'll have the light of day let into this den of horrors." He reached his cottage, and lighted the lamp in the little sitting-room.
She looked sort of miffed when I said this, and then I said that she could set up with him any time she wanted in my sitting-room in the basement, what is real comfortable furnished and pretty-looking and which you too is perfectly welcome to bring any gentleman company to any time you've a mind.

Nevertheless, as she entered the sitting-room she paused to listen, then, going to the window, peeped through the slits of the Venetian blind and saw her youthful admirer, more dejected in the consciousness of his wasted efforts and useless attire, mount his showy young horse, as aimlessly spirited as himself, and ride away.
After a few days of wandering, during which he strove not to let grief or depression master him again, he sent a telegram to Venice to Cecilia Cricklander.

She was seated upon the sofa and arranged with every care, and was looking triumphantly beautiful as she smoked a cigarette.
