Explore "To him that Hath" by Ralph Connor on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
For one long week of seven long days and seven long nights Annette fought out her gallant fight for life, fought and won. Throughout the week at her side Adrien waited day and night, except for a few hours snatched for rest, when Patricia took her place, for there was not a nurse to be had in all that time and Patricia begged for the privilege of sharing her vigil with her.
Every day and in the darkest days all day long, it seemed to Adrien, McNish haunted the Maitland home -- for he had abandoned all pretence of work -- his gaunt, grey face and hollow eyes imploring a word of hope.
