He repeated his assurances of tenderness, and was proceeding to retire, when he heard his wife's cries. He returned immediately, and was quite surprised to find that she was not in bed, but was walking about the room in a very agitated state. He approached her, and asked her what was the matter. She replied that she had been in great pain all the evening, and that she could no longer bear it. Mr. Bennet, deeply affected by his wife's sufferings, expressed his sorrow and sympathy, and did all in his power to alleviate her pain. He called in the best medical advice, and administered to his wife such remedies as were most likely to restore her to health. He also took every possible measure to make her as comfortable as possible, both in body and in mind. He watched over her with the greatest care and tenderness, and was never weary of doing all in his power to relieve her sufferings and restore her to health and happiness."]
