Some weeks passed without my receiving any communication from the doctors.

On calling to make inquiries I was informed that fever had set in, and that the poor creature's condition now alternated between exhaustion and delirium.

In her delirious moments the name of your aunt, Lady Janet Roy, frequently escaped her.

Otherwise her wanderings were for the most part quite unintelligible to the people at her bedside.

I thought once or twice of writing to you, and of begging you to speak to Lady Janet.
