THOMAS CRICH died slowly, terribly slowly. It seemed impossible to everybody that the thread of life could be
drawn1 out so thin, and yet not break. The sick man lay unutterably weak and spent, kept alive by morphia and by drinks, which he
sipped2 slowly. He was only half conscious -- a thin
strand3 of consciousness linking the darkness of death with the light of day. Yet his will was unbroken, he was integral, complete. Only he must have perfect stillness about him.
Any presence but that of the nurses was a strain and an effort to him now. Every morning Gerald went into the room, hoping to find his father passed away at last. Yet always he saw the same
transparent4 face, the same
dread5 dark hair on the waxen forehead, and the awful,
inchoate6 dark eyes, which seemed to be
decomposing7 into formless darkness, having only a tiny grain of vision within them.
And always, as the dark, inchoate eyes turned to him, there passed through Gerald's
bowels8 a burning stroke of revolt, that seemed to
resound9 through his whole being, threatening to break his mind with its clangour, and making him mad.
Every morning, the son stood there,
erect10 and
taut11 with life, gleaming in his blondness. The gleaming blondness of his strange,
imminent12 being put the father into a fever of fretful
