I made you a promise then, and I have kept it.

I have now come here only because you have sent for me.' This he said in the tone which a man uses when he feels himself to have been injured.
'I know it, Charley; you have kept your promise; I knew you would, and I know you will.

I have the fullest trust in you; and now you shall come and see her.' Charley was to return to town that night, and they had not therefore much time to lose; they went upstairs at once, and found Linda and Uncle Bat in the patient's room.

It was a lovely August evening, and the bedroom window opening upon the river was unclosed.

Katie, as she sat propped up against the pillows, could look out upon the water and see the reedy island, on which in happy former days she had so delighted to let her imagination revel.
'It is very good of you to come and see me, Charley,' said she, as he made his way up to her bedside.
He took her wasted hand in his own and pressed it, and, as he did so, a tear forced itself into each corner of his eyes.
