When he awoke towards morning, he asked what day it was, and when
she told him, answered, "So I thought. Then I have not lost count
of time."
"No, you have been wonderfully clear-headed."
"I can't see how there can have been time to write," he said. "It
is true that he is come, is it not?"
"Quite true; but he came independently on business," and Rosamond
told of Julius's chase, bringing a look of amusement on his face.
Jenny came in with the rising sun, pale indeed, but another creature
after her rest and in the sight of the restful countenance that
greeted her with a smile. The moaning, hoarse voice was gone too,
it was a faint shadow of Herbert's own tones that said, "Is not this
good, Jenny? I didn't think to have seen it."
"My Herbert, you have given him back! You have given me the heart
to be glad!"
"You must go and see him," said Herbert.
Jenny looked wistful and undecided; but Julius entered to say that
she must come at once, for Archie must go back to London by the ten
o'clock train to an appointment, and could not return for two days.
