Summary:
The Sparrow children had a fever. Little Jack pulled through, but on
a cold morning, his sister Emily was lost from him forever.
The snow caked the window on the other side, and small, scared brown eyes stared out. He had been bed-ridden for days now, overcome by a fever that had attacked his tiny, weak body. The doctor had said he would pull through.
"It's cold," he said quietly, and shivered, pulling his quilt further up. He looked across at his sister, lying in the bed next to his. She, too, had fallen into the fever's clutches. The maid was tucking her in.
"Now, Master Sparrow," the maid said. "Be quiet. Your sister needs her rest."
Jack made a face at her back as she left the room, then turned to his sister again. "Emily, it's cold, isn't it?"
She coughed.
"Do you want to play, Emily?" Her eyes held his for a moment before they slid out of focus. "Emily!" he said, sitting up. "Wake up, silly girl..."
But there was no answer. There would never be another answer.
