“
"Immediately upon your being taken ill, all the papers that were on your person were brought me, and I examined them that I might discover some trace by which I could send to your relations an account of your misfortune and illness. I found several letters, and, among others, one which I discovered from its commencement to be from your father. I instantly wrote to Geneva: nearly two months have elapsed since the departure of my letter.--But you are ill; even now you tremble: you are unfit for agitation of any kind." 去书内

    This dialogue reveals Mr. Kirwin’s humane intervention—examining papers to locate kin reflects societal duty, while the two-month delay in Geneva’s response amplifies the protagonist’s precarious isolation. Mention of the father’s letter hints at potential familial reunion, yet the emphasis on "illness" and "agitation" underscores the protagonist’s fragility, juxtaposing institutional procedure with the longing for human connection central to the novel’s themes.
