Sir Henry Havelock, and Colin Campbell, Lord Clyde (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Sir Henry Havelock, and Colin Campbell, Lord Clyde For two years she had been ailing, but on Twelfth Night, during the last Christmas holidays, she had been well enough to join her children in their glad festivities. The next morning, however, when Henry, with his favourite sister, Jane, was reading the Bible to his mother, she fell from her chair in a fit Of apoplexy. He raised her up, watched over her with an anxious look upon his face, and a beating at his heart, till the doctor came; and until he went back to school, at the beginning Of February, was seldom from her side. Her speech had been affected; but when no one else could understand what she said he knew every word, and it was a sad parting between mother and son when he went back to Charterhouse. She seemed to think that she would never see him again, and from the time Of his departure grew worse and worse, but boy-like he feared nothing SO dreadful, and most likely hoped to find her better again when be next came home.
