Excerpt from Ciphers
Mrs. Rutherford Childe was a brilliant woman with an easy habit of supremacy, and she carried her timid little daughter-in-law through a season or two, but she was mortal and did not long survive the reestablishment of the family fortune. After her death, her husband, who had spent the last twenty years going up and down the face of the earth, gave up his wanderings and resumed his long vacant place in the Childe ménage. By this time Lee, who had gradually detached himself from actual life, and trusted to his mother to shape events, grew weary of pretending to be well, gave himself up to chronic invalidism, and in two years died of heart disease.
