Excerpt from The Second Son, Vol. 3 of 3
To think, during the turmoil and horrible pause which ensued, which might have lasted, SO far as he knew, a day or ten minutes, in which Roger was examined by a grave doctor, who said little, and was then painfully trans ported to his own rooms and laid on his own bed. He had not recovered consciousness for a moment, nor did he during the long, terrible night which followed, in the course of which Edmund sat like a man paralysed, within Sight of the motionless figure, for which there was nothing to be done, none of those cares which keep the watcher from despair. The doctor had sent in a nurse, who, after vainly endeavouring to induce Edmund to withdraw ('for he doesn't know you, or any one, nor won't, perhaps, ever again, poor gentleman! And what's the good of wearing yourself out, when you can do nothing for him?' She had said, with that appalling reasonableness which kills), had herself retired to the next room, provident, as her class always are, of the rest which would be so needful to her, In face of whatever might occur to demand her watchfulness afterwards. Her words, her look, made.
