So he put asidethe curtain, and bent over him. The old Earl's eyes were wide open, and the red colour had gone from his cheeks, so that he was pale asdeath. "How fares it, dear father?" asked Harold. Godwin smiled fondly, and tried to speak, but his voice died in aconvulsive rattle. Lifting himself up, however, with an effort, hepressed tenderly the hand that clasped his own, leant his head onHarold's breast, and so gave up the ghost. When Harold was at last aware that the struggle was over, he... laid thegrey head gently on the pillow; he closed the eyes, and kissed thelips, and knelt down and prayed.
