He darted to him, and stared aghast: he had never seen him look like that before, even when most drunk! He threw himself upon him: his face was dreadfully cold. He pulled and shook him in fear--he could not have told of what--but he would not wake. He was gone to see what God could do for him there, for whom nothing more could be done here. But Gibbie did not know anything about death, and went on trying to wake him. At last he observed that, although his mouth was wide open, the breath did not come from it. Thereupon his heart began to fail him. But when he lifted an eyelid, and saw what was under it, the house rang with the despairing shriek of the little orphan. CHAPTER VII. THE TOWN-SPARROW. “This, too, will pass,” is a Persian word: I should like it better if it were “This, too, shall pass.” Gibbie’s agony passed, for God is not the God of the dead but of the living.
