Once, however, she returned my letters saying she felt she must put aside all thought of accepting me.
Professor and Mrs.Dennis took me from Cresson to their own home in New York, as soon as I could be removed, and I lay there some time under the former's personal supervision.

Miss Whitfield called to see me, for I had written her the first words from Cresson I was able to write.

She saw now that I needed her.

Now she could be in every sense the "helpmeet." Both her heart and head were now willing and the day was fixed.
