I

am

not

too

proud

to

believe

it

,

Louisa

.

How

could

I

be

arrogant

,

and

you

before

me

!

Can

it

be

so

?

Is

it

so

,

my

dear

?

'

He

looked

upon

her

once

more

,

lying

cast

away

there

;

and

without

another

word

went

out

of

the

room

.

He

had

not

been

long

gone

,

when

she

heard

a

light

tread

near

the

door

,

and

knew

that

some

one

stood

beside

her

.

She

did

not

raise

her

head

.

A

dull

anger

that

she

should

be

seen

in

her

distress

,

and

that

the

involuntary

look

she

had

so

resented

should

come

to

this

fulfilment

,

smouldered

within

her

like

an

unwholesome

fire

.

All

closely

imprisoned

forces

rend

and

destroy

.

The

air

that

would

be

healthful

to

the

earth

,

the

water

that

would

enrich

it

,

the

heat

that

would

ripen

it

,

tear

it

when

caged

up

.

So

in

her

bosom

even

now

;

the

strongest

qualities

she

possessed

,

long

turned

upon

themselves

,

became

a

heap

of

obduracy

,

that

rose

against

a

friend

.

It

was

well

that

soft

touch

came

upon

her

neck

,

and

that

she

understood

herself

to

be

supposed

to

have

fallen

asleep

.

The

sympathetic

hand

did

not

claim

her

resentment

.

Let

it

lie

there

,

let

it

lie

.

It

lay

there

,

warming

into

life

a

crowd

of

gentler

thoughts

;

and

she

rested

.

As

she

softened

with

the

quiet

,

and

the

consciousness

of

being

so

watched

,

some

tears

made

their

way

into

her

eyes

.

The

face

touched

hers

,

and

she

knew

that

there

were

tears

upon

it

too

,

and

she

the

cause

of

them

.

As

Louisa

feigned

to

rouse

herself

,

and

sat

up

,

Sissy

retired

,

so

that

she

stood

placidly

near

the

bedside

.

'

I

hope

I

have

not

disturbed

you

.

I

have

come

to

ask

if

you

would

let

me

stay

with

you

?

'

Why

should

you

stay

with

me

?

My

sister

will

miss

you

.

You

are

everything

to

her

.

'

'

Am

I

?

'

returned

Sissy

,

shaking

her

head

.

'

I

would

be

something

to

you

,

if

I

might

.

'

'

What

?

'

said

Louisa

,

almost

sternly

.
