“For some nights I slept profoundly; but still every morning I felt the same lassitude, and a languor weighed upon me all day. I felt myself a changed girl. A strange melancholy was stealing over me, a melancholy that I would not have interrupted.

If it was sad, the tone of mind which this induced was also sweet. Whatever it might be, my soul acquiesced in it.”
