"You are probably not interested," Howard answered, "because you don't care for news. It is a queer passion the passion for news. The public has it in a way. But to see it in its delirium you must come here." "This seems quiet enough." Marian looked about Howard's upstairs office.
They rolled with heavy thuds down the brant sides of the fell down, down, down. But I kept closer, closer. Presently I heard the howl of the wolves " "No, Sim; not that, old friend." "Yes, the pack from Lauvellen. They'd been driven out of their caves not even they could live in their caves tonight." The delirium of Sim's spirit seemed to overcome him.
Faintly, as if shouted far off over there, came the words "We come back soon." . . . Delirium and mockery! Who would come back? Nobody ever comes back! Fever comes back. He had it on him this morning. That was it. . . . He heard unexpectedly the old woman muttering something near by. She had come round to his side of the tree. He opened his eyes and saw her bent back before him.
John was shocked at what seemed in the squire a sort of indecent levity; he could not understand that his friend felt as though he should go mad. Indeed the squire suffered intensely. The name of Mary Goddard, pronounced by the convict in his delirium brought home more vividly than anything could have done the relation between the wounded tramp and the woman the squire loved.
Sweating, fever, and delirium follow. But the Blessed Virgin will touch the sore with her little finger and it will be healed. Oh! I implore you all, take me to the Grotto, even if I should be unconscious!" Sister Hyacinthe had also approached, and leant over him. "Be easy, dear Brother," said she. "You shall go to the Grotto after dejeuner, and we will all pray for you."
It was the year of Miss Blomfield's marriage that Ragged Robin's wife died. We had all quite looked forward to the peace she would enjoy when she was a widow, for it was known that delirium tremens was surely shortening her husband's life. But she died before him. Her children were wonderfully provided for.
"The Bavarian Intricacy, which once excelled human power, is settled, then. Delirium once out, the law of gravity acts; and there the mad matter lies." "Bought by Austria, that old villain!" cry the French. Here, sure enough, are sad new intricacies in the Diplomatic, hypothetic sphere of things; and clouds piling themselves ahead, in a very minatory manner to King Friedrich.
In their weakness, delirium gripped their half-mad brains, yielding new strength to fight the snow fiend. Aching in every joint, trembling from fatigue, they dare not rest an instant. The wind, veering more to the east, lashed their faces like a whip. They crouched behind the horses to keep out of the sting of it, crunching the snow, now in deep drifts, under their half-frozen feet.
His head and neck swell to an enormous size; then comes raging delirium, then stupefaction, and Don Carlos lies as one dead. A modern surgeon would, probably, thanks to that training of which Vesalius may be almost called the father, have had little difficulty in finding out what was the matter with the luckless lad, and little difficulty in removing the evil, if it had not gone too far.
Peters cites an instance of a woman of sixty-five who, after taking one grain of quinin, invariably exhibited after an hour a temperature of from 104 degrees to 105 degrees F., accelerated pulse, rigors, slight delirium, thirst, and all the appearances of ill-defined fever, which would pass off in from twelve to twenty-four hours.
