"They make me hope for the best. Indeed, I never believed that you were in danger; I was only deeply moved because I saw you suffering so intensely."
The queen looked him full in the face, and made no reply. The king sat down on her bed and took her right hand. Louisa pressed his hand gently, and fixed her eyes with a thoughtful and grave expression on his countenance. Suddenly a dark shadow pa.s.sed over her face. "It is coming!
It is coming!" she cried in a tone of heart-rending anguish, and started up in excruciating pain.
The king went to the door and called the physicians, who hastened into the room, followed by the duke, the princes, and the whole family.
Madame von Berg raised the groaning sufferer. The physicians were standing in the middle of the room. "We cannot help her. It is the last convulsion!"
"Air! air!" cried the queen.
Frederick William bent over her with tearless eyes. The agony she was suffering paralyzed his heart.
"Lord, end my sufferings!" cried the queen, with a last effort, and her head sank back into the arms of Madame von Berg. Another sigh--a long, tremulous sigh. The clock struck nine. A solemn silence reigned in the palace. The queen was dead!
THE END.
