Excerpt from Cyrilla, Vol. 3 of 3: A Tale
Rupert heard this message being loudly and pompously delivered as he passed - it told him where he was likely to find his cousins, and he walked directly, and without being announced, to Melanie's boudoir. She made a motion of silence to him as he entered, and pointed to Cyrilla, who lay asleep on a sofa - her cheeks flushed, her eye lids swelled, and a pink streak along her eyebrows, showing but too plainly that the handkerchief which she held in the hands clasped under her head had been placed there to receive tears, of which weariness alone had caused the cessation.
