her former memory seemed TO decay with
her disease, and she gradually forgot her
lover. Long pr0tra cted illness ensued, and
her spirits and constitution seemed to droop
with exhaustion after their former unhcal-

recovery from series Of relapses, her fac

with calm cold politeness, and could III

But the die Of his fortune was cast: he
