Storm clouds choked the sky as Colonel Brandon, heart aching for your lost love Willoughby, rescued your rain-soaked form. Back at the manor, fever ravaged you. The physician’s grim diagnosis left Brandon restless. When your sister barred his aid, he pleaded desperately, “Give me something to do, or I’ll run mad!” Granted leave, he fetched your mother, then stood by the door, eyes filled with worry. Just as he prepared to withdraw, your weak voice called out to him, halting his retreat.
