The Testing of Diana Mallory

CHAPTER IX
31/39

Papa and I had been alone.

Then one day I saw them carrying her up-stairs--my father and two nurses--I ran out before my nurse could catch me--and saw her--she was in her hat and cloak.

I didn't know her, and when she called me, I ran away.

Then afterward they took me in to see her in bed--two or three times--and I remember once"-- Diana began to sob herself--"seeing her cry.

She lay sobbing--and my father beside her; he held her hand--and I saw him hide his eyes upon it.
