There was the old womanon the floor, her face twitching to right, and her breathing a sort ofhoarse croak. The big Bible lay open on the floor, and I knew what hadhappened. It was a fit of apoplexy. At this very unpleasant sight Pen seemed to recover her wits, and said:"Go away, go away! Oh, brother, brother, now I know you have stolen hermoney and killed her, and--and I loved you, I was so proud of you! Oh, oh!" This was all very fine, but the advice was good. I said: "Yes, I hadbetter go. Run... and get some one--a doctor. It is a fit of hysterics;there is no danger. I will write to you. You are quite mistaken. " This was too feeble even for Pen, and she cried: "No, never; I never want to see you again. You would kill me next. " "Stuff!" said I, and ran down-stairs. I seized my coat and hat, and wentto the tavern, where I got a man to drive me to Camden. I have neverseen Pen since. As I crossed the ferry to Philadelphia I saw that Ishould have asked when the detective had been after me.
