　unconscious。〃

It　seems　she　had　one　hemorrhage　after　another。　They　couldn't　stop　it。　I　went　into　the　room　and　stayed　with　Catherine　until　she　died。　She　was　unconscious　all　the　time；　and　it　did　not　take　her　very　long　to　die。

Outside　the　room；　in　the　hall；　I　spoke　to　the　doctor；　〃Is　there　anything　I　can　do　to…night？〃

〃No。　There　is　nothing　to　do。　Can　I　take　you　to　your　hotel？〃

〃No；　thank　you。　I　am　going　to　stay　here　a　while。〃

〃I　know　there　is　nothing　to　say。　I　cannot　tell　you……〃

〃No；〃　I　said。　〃There's　nothing　to　say。〃

〃Good…night；〃　he　said。　〃I　cannot　take　you　to　your　hotel？〃

〃Yes　I　can；〃　I　said。

〃You　can't　e　in　yet。〃

〃You　get　out；〃　I　said。　〃The　other　one　too。〃

But　after　I　had　got　them　out　and　shut　the　door　and　turned　off　the　light　it　wasn't　any　good。　It　was　like　saying　good…by　to　a　statue。　After　a　while　I　went　out　and　left　the　hospital　and　walked　back　to　the　hotel　in　the　rain。
