"O God! spare my child, and I will never drink again!"
Then, rising, he looked at Harry for a moment, and as there was no indication of consciousness, he said to his eldest son:
"Jim! run for Dr. Dean. I am sure, my boy, you will not linger a moment longer than there is need of your doing. Life and death may depend upon your haste."

I easily fell asleep again, wondering how Harry in the meantime had got on with his cousin. ”
