[quote]“‘Oh, Madame, you don’t seem afraid to die. I always dread death—I’m a horrible coward.’ The Empress looked at me in astonishment.
     ‘Surely, Lili, you are not really afraid to die.’
     ‘Yes, Madame, I am.’
     ‘I cannot understand anyone being afraid to die,’ she said, quietly. ‘I have always looked upon Death as such a friend, such a rest. You mustn’t be afraid to die, Lili.’”[/quote]
