 She knew her own heart now fully; in those terrible nights of watching, when she had sat beside him, breathless with fear and suspense, the thought had come to her in all it's chilling force-of what life would be to her without him, and she knew that she loved him with deep devotion which would last through eternity.
 She told him so again and again, as she knelt by his bedside, but he only looked at
