Her father would make her laugh till she cried, and the same fount of tears would serve when Mary sang Brahms and Schubert and Lassen to her--and Roberta played Chopin and Schumann by the hour. So she might have lived on for a few years--four or five--even ten. But she died at seventeen, of mere influenza, very quickly and without much pain. Her father and mother were by her bedside when her spirit passed away, and Dr. Knight, who had brought her into the world. She woke from a gentle doze and raised her head, and called out in a clear voice: "_Barty--Leah--come, to me, come!_" And fell back dead. Barty bowed his head and face on her hand, and remained there as if asleep. It was Leah who drew her eyelids down. An hour later Dr. Knight came to me, his face distorted with grief. "It's all over?" I said. "Yes, it's all over." "And Leah?" "Mrs. Josselin is with her husband. She's a noble woman; she seems to bear it well." "And Barty?" "Barty Josselin is no more."
