In relief and pity, she essayed to

carry her to the bed, but found the
dead weight too great.
Casting round at random for some
thing in the nature of a restorative,
she found in the bathroom a bottle

Alternately moistening the pale
lips with the whisky and bathing

sustained in falling. But there was

agreeably engrossed in doting on

The girl nodded: " try" she
whispered. Using all her strength,
Lucinda succeeded in getting Nelly
