88 Dorothy Visits Her Aunt. Half the night Dorothy spent in her sister’s room, and half on her knees at her own bedside. She dared not put her prayer for her sister’s life into articulate speech; a superstitious terror lest her entreaty should seem impious restrained her. If such terrible misfortunes had unde- servedly fallen upon Phyllis in spite of her sister’s nightly prayers, might she not just as undeservedly, as it seemed to one who loved her, be cut off from life itself? But with a hearty vindictiveness worthy of the days of kings and chronicles, Miss Knight prayed that Sergius Trevelyan might be punished for his crime, and that so hard a measure, and more also, might be meted out to him.
