You did something once — you know it. O Ralph, you've been everything! What have I done for you — what can I do to-day? I would die if you could live. But I don't wish you to live; I would die myself, not to lose you." Her voice was as broken as his own and full of tears and anguish."You won't lose me — you'll keep me. Keep me in your heart; I shall be nearer to you than I've ever been.
