I remained in the recess, which you know is opposite the drawing-room, with the door ajar.

I wished to prevent Eeny or any of the servants from disturbing her by suddenly entering.

About an hour after, the door opened, and she came out and went slowly upstairs.

I caught a glimpse of her face as she passed, and it had turned to the pallor of death.

I heard her enter the room and lock the door, and I believe I sat and cried all the morning.
She did not come down all day.
