"If it will save him and you need not take it again, ever!" "But, I tell you " "Do you not hear him he is dying!" She was mad with grief; she hardly knew what she said. Without a word he dropped the tincture swiftly in a wine-glass of water, drank it off, shivered, drew himself up with a start, gave a sigh as if some huge struggle was over, and went in to where the old man was.
