The only trace of the fearful scenes through which I had passed, consisted in the fact that my head was still all ablaze with the foul, gross magnetic fluids of my ex-tormentors; and was so hot that I found it agreeable to walk with my hat off. I was two days getting rid of the heat. Though I had no more sulphur tea to drink, I was not yet weaned from the invisible milk and water.
"I I can't!" was the quavering answer, "I've got rheumatism so I can hardly move, and I'm stiff from fright!" "You must!" insisted Bert. "This place will be all ablaze in another minute!
