Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell

“She
suffers
a
great
deal,
and
she
must
suffer
more:
we
do
what
we
can
to
alleviate
her
pain;—
God’s
will
be
done!”
He
took
off
his
hat
at
these
last
words.
I
found,
from
Miss
Matty,
that
everything
had
been
done,
in
fact.
A
medical
man,
of
high
repute
in
that
country
neighbourhood,
had
been
sent
for,
and
every
injunction
he
had
given
was
attended
to,
regardless
of
expense.
Miss
Matty
was
sure
they
denied
themselves
many
things
in
order
to
make
the
invalid
comfortable;
but
they
never
spoke
about
it;
and
as
for
Miss
Jessie!—
“I
really
think
she’s
an
angel,”
said
poor
Miss
Matty,
quite
overcome.
“To
see
her
way
of
bearing
with
Miss
Brown’s
crossness,
and
the
bright
face
she
puts
on
after
she’s
been
sitting
up
a
whole
night
and
scolded
above
half
of
it,
is
quite
beautiful.
Yet
she
looks
as
neat
and
as
ready
to
welcome
the
Captain
at
breakfast-time
as
if
she
had
been
asleep
in
the
Queen’s
bed
all
night.
My
dear!
you
could
never
laugh
at
her
prim
little
curls
or
her
pink
bows
again
if
you
saw
her
as
I
have
done.”
I
could
only
feel
very
penitent,
and
greet
Miss
Jessie
with
double
respect
when
I
met
her
next.
She
looked
faded
and
pinched;
and
her
lips
began
to
quiver,
as
if
she
was
very
weak,
when
she
spoke
of
her
sister.
But
she
brightened,
and
sent
back
the
tears
that
were
glittering
in
her
pretty
eyes,
as
she
said—
