"He has high ideals in friendship as in everything else," she answered, "but you must remember, Simeon, that the thought of your sufferings agonized us at home. Who could have abandoned you to such a fate? It makes me sick to think of it!"
A sort of shiver passed over him, while he said, simply:
"It was all in the day's work. French ran the same risks, only with better luck.
" Presently he added:
"I feel tired, Deena-and a little oppressed. Perhaps you had better ring the bell-but stay. Will you kiss me before you ring?"
She kissed him with a pity that wrung her heart, and he sighed contentedly and shut his eyes.
He only spoke once more, just as the doctor came to his bedside.
"I should have been glad to see the old house before I die, but it is just as well as it is."
He was dying all the afternoon, peacefully and gently, and at sunset the end came.
