I stated my fear lest she should find all this running about from place to place tiring for her.
"You need not be afraid of that," she answered.

"I am very strong, and am not easily tired.

Fairfax, and have done so much to ensure my comfort, that, if only out of gratitude to you, I could not very well be fatigued.

I think you know how grateful I am to you, do you not ?" As she said this she looked up at me with her beautiful trusting eyes, and so overwhelmed me that it was as much as I could do to keep back the words that rose to the tip of my tongue.

"I think I know now all that there is to know," he said.
