"
Has
he
been
long
so
?
"
said
I
,
addressing
his
weeping
wife
.
362
"
Since
yesterday
night
,
"
she
replied
.
363
"
John
,
John
,
don
t
you
know
me
?
"
"
Don
t
let
her
come
near
me
,
"
said
the
man
,
with
a
shudder
,
as
she
stooped
over
him
.
"
Drive
her
away
;
I
can
t
bear
her
near
me
.
"
He
stared
wildly
at
her
,
with
a
look
of
deadly
apprehension
,
and
then
whispered
in
my
ear
,
"
I
beat
her
,
Jem
;
I
beat
her
yesterday
,
and
many
times
before
.
I
have
starved
her
and
the
boy
too
;
and
now
I
am
weak
and
helpless
,
Jem
,
she
ll
murder
me
for
it
;
I
know
she
will
.
If
you
d
seen
her
cry
,
as
I
have
,
you
d
know
it
too
.
Keep
her
off
.
"
He
relaxed
his
grasp
,
and
sank
back
exhausted
on
the
pillow
.
I
knew
but
too
well
what
all
this
meant
.
If
I
could
have
entertained
any
doubt
of
it
,
for
an
instant
,
one
glance
at
the
woman
s
pale
face
and
wasted
form
would
have
sufficiently
explained
the
real
state
of
the
case
.
"
You
had
better
stand
aside
,
"
said
I
to
the
poor
creature
.
"
You
can
do
him
no
good
.
Perhaps
he
will
be
calmer
,
if
he
does
not
see
you
.
"
She
retired
out
of
the
man
s
sight
.
He
opened
his
eyes
after
a
few
seconds
,
and
looked
anxiously
round
.

"
Is
she
gone
?
"
he
eagerly
inquired
.
365
"
Yes
yes
,
"
said
I
;
"
she
shall
not
hurt
you
.
"
366
"
I
ll
tell
you
what
,
Jem
,
"
said
the
man
,
in
a
low
voice
,
"
she
does
hurt
me
.
There
s
something
in
her
eyes
wakes
such
a
dreadful
fear
in
my
heart
,
that
it
drives
me
mad
.
All
last
night
,
her
large
,
staring
eyes
and
pale
face
were
close
to
mine
;
wherever
I
turned
,
they
turned
;
and
whenever
I
started
up
from
my
sleep
,
she
was
at
the
bedside
looking
at
me
.
367
"
He
drew
me
closer
to
him
,
as
he
said
in
a
deep
alarmed
whisper
,
"
Jem
,
she
must
be
an
evil
spirit
a
devil
!
Hush
!
I
know
she
is
.
If
she
had
been
a
woman
she
would
have
died
long
ago
.
No
woman
could
have
borne
what
she
has
.

I
sickened
at
the
thought
of
the
long
course
of
cruelty
and
neglect
which
must
have
occurred
to
produce
such
an
impression
on
such
a
man
.
I
could
say
nothing
in
reply
;
for
who
could
offer
hope
,
or
consolation
,
to
the
abject
being
before
me
?
369
I
sat
there
for
upwards
of
two
hours
,
during
which
time
he
tossed
about
,
murmuring
exclamations
of
pain
or
impatience
,
restlessly
throwing
his
arms
here
and
there
,
and
turning
constantly
from
side
to
side
.
At
length
he
fell
into
that
state
of
partial
unconsciousness
,
in
which
the
mind
wanders
uneasily
from
scene
to
scene
,
and
from
place
to
place
,
without
the
control
of
reason
,
but
still
without
being
able
to
divest
itself
of
an
indescribable
sense
of
present
suffering
.
Finding
from
his
incoherent
wanderings
that
this
was
the
case
,
and
knowing
that
in
all
probability
the
fever
would
not
grow
immediately
worse
,
I
left
him
,
promising
his
miserable
wife
that
I
would
repeat
my
visit
next
evening
,
and
,
if
necessary
,
sit
up
with
the
patient
during
the
night
.
370
I
kept
my
promise
.
The
last
four
-
and
-
twenty
hours
had
produced
a
frightful
alteration
.
The
eyes
,
though
deeply
sunk
and
heavy
,
shone
with
a
lustre
frightful
to
behold
.
