He fell seriously ill, and was disappointed, when, after a time, the physicians declared him convalescent. For when when he rose from his sick-bed, it was only to plunge once more, without a clue, into the labyrinth where he seemed to be losing his reason.
'Have you thought that I am unmarried, and might die at any moment, and then the throne will descend to you to you, Aribert? 'The throne will never descend to me, Eugen, said Aribert softly, 'for you will live. You are thoroughly convalescent. You have nothing to fear. 'It is the next seven days that I fear, said Eugen. 'The next seven days! Why? 'I do not know. But I fear them.
So the convalescent gentleman became moody, and silent and generally disagreeable; and Grace was the only one who guessed at his feelings and was sorry for him. But he grew well in spite of hidden trouble, and began to think of what he was to do in the future. "I'll go back to Montreal next week, I think," he said to his sister; "now that the fever has gone, it won't pay to stay here.
About the middle of this month a convalescent, who had been sent from the hospital to gather wild spinach, or other greens, was murdered by the natives; there were two of them together, the one escaped, but was wounded, the other has never been heard of since; but as some part of his cloaths were found which were bloody, and had been pierced by a spear, it was concluded he had been killed.
He knew that the feeling was a vague and idle one; but yet, just at this time, a convalescent, with a little play moment in what had heretofore been a turbulent life, he felt an inclination to follow out this dream, and let it sport with him, and by and by to awake to realities, refreshed by a season of unreality.

He was visited with an ingenious idea, viz.: that Kern should go to no less than two places on her convalescent tour, one containing Mountains, the other containing a Sea! And so it was settled to the general satisfaction.... "Only hurry up and get well," said the tall doctor, "or you'll find the crowds gone from Atlantic City before you get there."
They spoke so loudly that not to hear would have been an impossibility. My attention was first attracted to them by the name of a friend.

"Oh, then, you haven't heard the latest!"
My own experiences as a pedagogue are limited. During the War, I was asked to give some lessons in elementary history and rudimentary French to convalescent soldiers in a big hospital. No one ever had a more cheery and good-tempered lot of pupils than I had in my blue-clad, red-tied disciples. For remembering the order of the Kings of England, we used Mr.
During the day, he felt shivering and unwell; and, the next day, the same symptoms continued, and with increased violence. Another day arrived another, and another and all consciousness left him.
