I sat up with him so much and so often, that at last, indeed, he would not let me sit up any longer, and then I got a pallet-bed into his room, and lay in it just at his bed's feet. I was indeed sensibly affected with his condition, and with the apprehension of losing such a friend as he was, and was like to be to me, and I used to sit and cry by him many hours together.
J'étais vraiment sensiblement affectée de sa condition et des appréhensions de perdre un ami tel qu'il était et tel qu'il serait sans doute pour moi; et je restais assise à pleurer près de lui pendant bien des heures; enfin il alla mieux, et donna quelque espoir, ainsi qu'il arriva d'ailleurs, mais très lentement.
