The Bell in the Fog by Gertrude Atherton

[Nosferatu]

"Not unless I died."

Again something within him trembled. "Do you believe you are going to die
young?" he blurted out.

But she would not answer.

He entered the nursery abruptly the next day and found her packing her dolls.
When she saw him, she sat down and began to weep hopelessly. He knew then that
his fate was sealed. And when, a year later, he received her last little scrawl,
he was almost glad that she went when she did.
