[Thyrza by George Gissing]@TWC D-Link bookThyrza CHAPTER XX 6/37
In a minute or two the light was out. Lydia soon fell asleep.
In the very early morning a movement of her sister's awoke her.
She found that Thyrza was sitting up in the bed. 'What is it, dear ?' she asked, 'Lie down and go to sleep.' 'I can't, Lyddy, I can't! I _am_ so tired, and I haven't closed my eyes.
Keep awake with me a minute, will you ?' Lydia took the sleepless girl in her arms. 'The music won't leave me,' Thyrza moaned.
'It's just as if I heard them playing now.' Lydia nursed her into a fitful sleep. Though Thyrza had no work to go to, she still always rose together with her sister, and, whilst the latter put the room in order, went down to assist Mrs.Grail in getting the breakfast.
