I
have
one
remembrance
of
that
illness
,
which
might
have
been
part
of
the
ever
-
changing
panorama
conjured
up
by
a
delirious
brain
were
it
not
so
definitely
fixed
in
my
memory
.
One
night
,
when
the
nurse
was
absent
,
the
door
of
my
chamber
opened
,
and
a
tall
woman
in
blackest
mourning
slipped
into
the
room
.
She
came
across
to
me
,
and
as
she
bent
her
sallow
face
I
saw
by
the
faint
gleam
of
the
night
-
light
that
it
was
the
Brazilian
woman
whom
my
cousin
had
married
.
She
stared
intently
into
my
face
,
and
her
expression
was
more
kindly
than
I
had
ever
seen
it
.
"
Are
you
conscious
?
"
she
asked
.
I
feebly
nodded
—
for
I
was
still
very
weak
.
"
Well
;
then
,
I
only
wished
to
say
to
you
that
you
have
yourself
to
blame
.
Did
I
not
do
all
I
could
for
you
?
From
the
beginning
I
tried
to
drive
you
from
the
house
.
By
every
means
,
short
of
betraying
my
husband
,
I
tried
to
save
you
from
him
.
I
knew
that
he
had
a
reason
for
bringing
you
here
.
I
knew
that
he
would
never
let
you
get
away
again
.
No
one
knew
him
as
I
knew
him
,
who
had
suffered
from
him
so
often
.
I
did
not
dare
to
tell
you
all
this
.
He
would
have
killed
me
.
But
I
did
my
best
for
you
.
As
things
have
turned
out
,
you
have
been
the
best
friend
that
I
have
ever
had
.
You
have
set
me
free
,
and
I
fancied
that
nothing
but
death
would
do
that
.
I
am
sorry
if
you
are
hurt
,
but
I
cannot
reproach
myself
.
I
told
you
that
you
were
a
fool
—
and
a
fool
you
have
been
.
"
She
crept
out
of
the
room
,
the
bitter
,
singular
woman
,
and
I
was
never
destined
to
see
her
again
.
With
what
remained
from
her
husband
’
s
property
she
went
back
to
her
native
land
,
and
I
have
heard
that
she
afterwards
took
the
veil
at
Pernambuco
.
It
was
not
until
I
had
been
back
in
London
for
some
time
that
the
doctors
pronounced
me
to
be
well
enough
to
do
business
.
It
was
not
a
very
welcome
permission
to
me
,
for
I
feared
that
it
would
be
the
signal
for
an
inrush
of
creditors
;
but
it
was
Summers
,
my
lawyer
,
who
first
took
advantage
of
it
.
"
I
am
very
glad
to
see
that
your
lordship
is
so
much
better
,
"
said
he
.
"
I
have
been
waiting
a
long
time
to
offer
my
congratulations
.
"
"
What
do
you
mean
,
Summers
?
This
is
no
time
for
joking
.
"
"
I
mean
what
I
say
,
"
he
answered
.
"
You
have
been
Lord
Southerton
for
the
last
six
weeks
,
but
we
feared
that
it
would
retard
your
recovery
if
you
were
to
learn
it
"
