from
Wikipedia
After this incident, the whole neighbourhood is convinced that Robert and Shirley shall wed.
The anticipation of this causes Caroline to fall sick.
Mrs. Pryor comes to look after her, and realizes that Caroline is pining away.
Every Tuesday, Caroline sits by the window sill, no matter how weak or tired, to catch a glimpse of Robert on his way to the market.
Mrs. Pryor makes it a point to see what it is that Caroline looks out for.
She learns the cause of Caroline ’ s sorrow but is helpless ; she continues her vigil in the sick room even as Caroline worsens daily.
