I knew it would come out though how could I foresee that the Baron and Mr. Poynter and the Prince would know? I I told your grandfather so years ago, but he pledged me on his deathbed and your father was wild and clever like Carl and singular in his notions. I'll never forget your grandfather's face when you ran away into the forest to sleep as a child.
This combination is a very common one. Every one who has often stood by a deathbed knows how frequently it will be found that the mourner who is utterly prostrated by grief, and whose tears flow in torrents, casts off her grief much more completely and much sooner than one whose tears refuse to flow and who never for a moment loses her self-command.
"How can I get adventure and romance in a place where I know everybody?" John rejoined. "Are you proposing to leave home, John!" Uncle William asked. "Aye! For a while anyway," John answered, "I'll go to London!..." "You'll not go to no London," Mrs. MacDermott retorted, "and your Uncle, Matthew lying on his deathbed!..." "I'm not proposing to go this minute, ma!..."
She received a letter from her sister-in-law, informing her that her brother was dangerously ill, confined to what was feared would prove his deathbed, and that he earnestly desired to see her before he died. The Governor's lady, who was very kind and good to all her household, readily consented to let Mrs. Frazer go to her sick relation.
I do feel it, yet I know it was more appropriate to such a man than the deathbed where friends and relations weep. Henry Irving belonged to England, not to a family. England showed that she knew it when she buried him in Westminster Abbey. Years before I had discussed, half in joke, the possibility of this honor.
The most singular event in my life brought further confirmation-an event which now impels my deathbed message. "It was an interview with a sage in the Punjab. While our family was living in Lahore, one morning the servant came precipitantly into my room. He insists that he "see the mother of Mukunda." "These simple words struck a profound chord within me; I went at once to greet the visitor.
On her deathbed the fortitude and benignity of this best of women did not desert her. She joined the hands of Elizabeth and myself. "My children," she said, "my firmest hopes of future happiness were placed on the prospect of your union. This expectation will now be the consolation of your father. Elizabeth, my love, you must supply my place to my younger children. Alas!
Its having been publicly proved that Mrs. Carnaby was then far away from Wimbledon did not tend to shake Alma's conviction. The summons to her mother's deathbed had disturbed Sibyl's arrangements, that was all. Most luckily for her, as it turned out. Locked in a drawer of her writing-table lay a bundle of letters and papers which had come to her immediately after the concert.
That night the doctor stayed up at the Ettersberg and chatted with the three old people. Tubby watched by her father's bedside through it all, like a brave soldier. It was a hard death, and the child looked into the horrors of life as into a blazing furnace. She herself had so much life and sunshine in her that it was as though Life itself were standing by the deathbed.
Let me give you that, as if I lay on my deathbed and this was a parting gift. In the first place, mental integrity. Prove all things, hold fast to that which is right. Let the world have no illusions for you, no surprises.
