Soon after my mother broke down and my brother in Pittsburgh also was reported ill.
I was despaired of, I was so low, and then my whole nature seemed to change.

My mother's and brother's serious condition had not been revealed to me, and when I was informed that both had left me forever it seemed only natural that I should follow them.

We had never been separated; why should we be now?
But it was decreed otherwise.
I recovered slowly and the future began to occupy my thoughts.
