strength　revived；　she　wished　to　sit　by　her　window；　and　asked　for
Gaston's　hand。　And　then；　my　love；　the　sweetest　spirit　whom　we　shall
ever　see　on　this　earth　departed；　leaving　us　the　empty　shell。

The　last　sacrament　had　been　administered　the　evening　before；　unknown
to　Gaston；　who　was　taking　a　snatch　of　sleep　during　this　agonizing
ceremony；　and　after　she　was　moved　to　the　window；　she　asked　me　to　read
her　the　/De　Profundis/　in　French；　while　she　was　thus　face　to　face　with
the　lovely　scene；　which　was　her　handiwork。　She　repeated　the　words
after　me　to　herself；　and　pressed　the　hands　of　her　husband；　who　knelt
on　the　other　side　of　the　chair。

August　26th。

My　heart　is　broken。　I　have　just　seen　her　in　her　winding…sheet；　her
face　is　quite　pale　now　with　purple　shadows。　Oh！　I　want　my　children！　my
children！　Bring　me　my　children！
