I count the hours till that eventful one arrives, which shall restore me to Him. Reveal Him to me. You are sure then Helen that there is such a place as heaven and that our souls can get to it when we die. I am sure there is a future state. I believe God is good. I can resign my immortal part to him without any misgiving. God is my father. God is my friend. I love him. I believe He loves me and shall I see you again, Helen? When I die, you will come to the same region of happiness be received by the same mighty universal parent. No doubt, dear Jane again, I questioned. But this time only in thought, where is that region? Does it exist? And as I clasped my arms around Helen, she seemed dearer to me than ever. I felt as if I could not let her go. I lay with my face hidden on her neck presently. She said in the sweetest tone, how comfortable I am. That last bit of coughing has tired me a little. I feel as if I could sleep but don't, don't leave me, Jane. I'd like to have you near me. I'll stay with you, dear Helen. No one shall take me away. Are you warm, darling? Yes. Goodnight Jane. Good night Helen. She kissed me and eye her and we both soon slumbered. When I awoke, it was day, an unusual movement roused me. I looked up, I was in somebody's arms. The nurse held me. She was carrying me through a passage back to the dormitory. I was not reprimanded for leaving my bed. People had something else to think about. No explanation was afforded to my many questions. But a day or two afterward, I learned that Miss Temple on returning to her own room at dawn had found me laid in a little crib, my face against Helen Byrne's shoulder, my arms around her neck. I was asleep and Helen was dead, her grave in Broker Bridge Churchyard for 15 years after her death, it was only covered by a grassy mound, but now a gray marble tablet marks the spot inscribed with her name and the word ream.
