Let me entreat you to take some nourishment, and lie down for a few hours. Remember you must go in the morning to Mr. Arden, that you may see him before he goes to court; and the trial begins early.

True; it is still night: it is not the hour yet.

It is still night. I am begging of you to take some refreshment and go to bed, as you must be up early in the morning; and what you have to go through to-morrow, requires more strength than, I fear, you possess. Do you hear me?

Yes, Madaline. I heard you speak; I knew you spoke kindly to me, but I knew not what you said.

Let me go with you then to your room; and cheer up a little. All may yet go well.

O, if that be! if all indeed go well, I shall soon cheer up.
