We did not think, however, nor did her doctor, that she was sick unto death, her voice was so strong and mind so clear. She saw her children, who could not remain with her; nor did she wish it particularly, but was quite satisfied with, and thankful for the attention of her friends, rich and poor, who took pleasure in seeing her wants supplied.

On the morning of the day on which she died, when a sudden change took place in her appearance, and her dear minister was summoned, he found her calm: she said she had been thinking in the night (the night before Good Friday) of Jesus in the garden; I said, taking her hand, "Dear old woman, we, your friends, are all around you.

"However, they never prevented me teaching the darling who is gone, little hymns and prayers, and they even let me take him to the house of God with me, which was his great delight. He loved me tenderly, and used to call me 'Neeny,' because he said it was a kinder name than Nurse.
