Excerpt from Jasper Fairfax"Tell me, Doctor, how long can I live?"Many years I hope, " but Doctor Dorne did not meet the eyes of his patient as he spoke. He kept his finger on her wrist, and dampened the bandage about her head with a sponge."Why should you hope, or say you hope when you know my hours, possibly my moments are but few?" The injured woman panted for breath, but, with an effort that started the crimson stain through the bandage about her temples and deepened the pallor around her mouth she continued:"I know the truth. I know I am dying. I must tell something to Jasper. I must send for Cogswell. Aunt Sue, " to the nurse who had assisted the physician, "go send one of the boys for Cogswell. Go at once, " as the woman hesitated, glancing at Doctor Dome.The physican nodded, and the nurse left the room.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
