[Ethelyn’s Mistake by Mary Jane Holmes]@TWC D-Link bookEthelyn’s Mistake CHAPTER XXXIX 4/12
There was but little of her past life which he did not learn from her ravings, and so there was less for her to tell him when at last the fever abated, and his eyes met hers with a knowing, rational expression.
Andy was alone with her when the change first came.
The rain, which had fallen so steadily, was over, and out upon the river the sunlight was softly falling.
At Andy's earnest entreaty, Richard had gone for a little exercise in the open air, and was walking slowly up and down the broad piazza, while Aunt Barbara slept, and Andy kept his vigils by Ethelyn. She, too, was sleeping quietly, and Andy saw the great drops of perspiration standing upon her brow and beneath her hair.
He knew it was a good omen, and on his knees by the bedside, with his face in his hands, he prayed aloud, thanking God for restoring Ethelyn to them, and asking that they might all be taught just how to make her happy.
