There came a low—very low—murmur, and a glance of the dying woman’s eyes in the direction of the child.
“Only—only”——she began.
“I will see to everything, dear; I have promised.”
“And if—if at the end of a year—— You remember—you remember that part, don’t you, Caroline?”
“I remember it. It will not be necessary.”
“But if it is—if it should be—you will send her”——
“I faithfully promise.”
“You are so good!” said the dying woman.
“God bless you! You have made things easy for me.”
