with his arms folded across his chest, gazing on the dark
outline of her form; and then, in a wild paroxysm of
silent tearless grief, threw himself suddenly on the edge
of the couch, and clasping her in a long close embrace
to his audibly beating heart, lay like one bereft of all
sense and consciousness of surrounding objects.
