Don't take me from him, Agnes; I have the best right here, she cried, fiercely, starting up from the seat into which Agnes had placed her.

O, will He, Agnes; are you sure?
human
He will help us,

Brain fever, I fear,

Will he die? almost shrieked Ruth.

You will save him, doctor. O, you won't let Guy die.
gpt
Do you know, my child, you can kill your brother, and you will if you give way to this grief. I will leave no means untried. You are a Christian; you know how to pray; there is greater comfort in that than in any of my assurances; but I give them to you; your brother shall live if it is in the power of man to save him.

gpt

human
Will he ever be again!
