He felt in these days what, oddly enough, he had never felt before, the growth of a dread of losing her by some catastrophe  some catastrophe that yet wouldn't at all be the catastrophe: partly because she had almost of a sudden begun to strike him as more useful to him than ever yet, and partly by reason of an appearance of uncertainty in her health, co incident and equally new. HE FELT IN THESE DAYS WHAT ODDLY ENOUGH HE HAD NEVER FELT BEFORE THE GROWTH OF A DREAD OF LOSING HER BY SOME CATASTROPHE SOME CATASTROPHE THAT YET WOULDN'T AT ALL BE THE CATASTROPHE PARTLY BECAUSE SHE HAD ALMOST OF A SUDDEN BEGUN TO STRIKE HIM AS MORE USEFUL TO HIM THAN EVER YET AND PARTLY BY REASON OF AN APPEARANCE OF UNCERTAINTY IN HER HEALTH COINCIDENT AND EQUALLY NEW
