If you will tell one of the vergers what is the matter with me, he will summon the Examiner of Health, who will bring a litter to convey me to the pest-house." "If you go thither your fate is sealed," replied Nizza.
"I have said I do not desire to live," returned the apprentice.
"Do not indulge in these gloomy thoughts, or you are certain to bring about a fatal result," said Nizza.

"Would I knew how to aid you! But I still hope you are deceived as to the nature of your attack." "I cannot be deceived," replied Leonard, whose countenance proclaimed the anguish he endured.

"Doctor Hodges, I think, is interested about me," he continued, describing the physician's residence--"if you will inform him of my seizure, he may, perhaps, come to me." "I will fly to him instantly," replied Nizza; and she was about to quit the chapel, when she was stopped by Parravicin and his companions.
"Let me pass," she said, trying to force her way through them.

"Not till I have told you how much I love you," returned the knight, ardently.
"Love me!" she echoed, scornfully.
"Yes, love you," reiterated Parravicin.
