noon
We got back to the town . I obtained there an old chaise and a pair of horses . At morning Lilian was under her mother 's roof . About the noon of that day fever seized her ; she became rapidly worse , and , to all appearance , in imminent danger . Delirium set in ; I watched beside her night and day , supported by an inward conviction of her recovery , but tortured by the sight of her sufferings . On the third day a change for the better became visible ; her sleep was calm , her breathing regular . Shortly afterwards she woke out of danger .
