She looked at Kate eagerly.
"Oh, please don't leave me," she gasped.
"Of course not!" said Kate instantly.

"I'll stay as long as you want me." She bent over the bed and gently drew the gloves from the frail hands.
She untied and slipped off the bonnet.

She hunted keys in the purse, opened a travelling bag, and found what she required.

Then slowly and carefully, she undressed the woman, helped her into a night robe, and stooping she lifted her into a chair until she opened the bed.

After giving her time to rest, Kate pulled down the white wavy hair and brushed it for the night.
