Context
“As I came along the corridor I saw Mr. Morris looking out of a window. He turned as he heard my footsteps. «How is Art?» he said. Then noticing my red eyes, he went on: «Ah, I see you have been comforting him. Poor old fellow! he needs it. No one but a woman can help a man when he is in trouble of the heart; and he had no one to comfort him.»
He bore his own trouble so bravely that my heart bled for him. I saw the manuscript in his hand, and I knew that when he read it he would realise how much I knew; so I said to him:—
«I wish I could comfort all who suffer from the heart.” source
