Sturk in a fuss. 'That's it, said Toole so soon as they were alone, nodding two or three times dejectedly, and looking very glum. 'It's set in the inflammation it's set in, Sir. He's gone. That's the rigor. 'Poor gentleman, said Lowe, after a short pause, 'I'm much concerned for him, and for his family. ''Tis a bad business, said Toole, gloomily, like a man that's frightened.
