Cicely waited the coming of her yet unknown hostess without much / interest in the arrangement which Father Morley had not only made for / her, but, so to speak, had carried by assault. She was so utterly tired / in body and mind, so prostrated by the intensity with which she had / been feeling for the past hours that the ability to feel was, for the / time, burned out of her.
She sat back against the garden bench, resting sidewise so that her arm / lay across its back; her head drooped forward on her shoulder, waiting / quiescent for Miss Braithwaite to come to fetch her away.
