Dr.Trotman, however, is uncheerful about him--is what medical men call '_cautious_' in giving an opinion, observing that, though _at present_ he is not in danger, the delicacy of his constitution gives room for great apprehension in the case of the least turning towards relapse.

Robert had been up with him during eight nights, and Isa Blagden eight nights.
Nothing can exceed her devotion to him by night or day.

We have persuaded her, however, at last to call in a nurse for the nights.

I am afraid for Robert, and in fact a trained nurse can do certain things better than the most zealous and tender friend can pretend to do.

You may suppose how saddened we all are.
