The trouble with me is that I cannot be honestly sick and get it over. Queasiness and headache beset me and there is no refuge but bed. I turned into my bunk, leaving the captain and the mate smoking shag not six feet from my head, and fell into a restless sleep. When I woke the place was empty, and smelt vilely of stale tobacco and cheese.
So in time the morrow came, and by all rules I ought to have had a racking headache. For I saw many of those that had been with me the night before pale of countenance and eating handfuls of baker's salt. So I judged that their anxiety and the turmoil of their hearts had not burned their liquor up, as had been the case with me.
She did not know whom her master supposed his guest to be, and regarded him only as one of the many objects of his kindness. He told her to get some tea ready, as the patient would most likely wake with a headache. He instructed her to wait upon him as a matter of course, and explain nothing.
One of her women looked out of a window, and then told her it was a great crowd of people collected about the holy woman to be cured of the headache by the imposition of her hands.
"Are there any particular news?" said Constance. "I like particular news infinitely the best!" "I am sorry, Miss Constance, I have none for you. But will this headache yield to nothing?" "Fleda prophesied that it would to time," said Florence; "she Would not let us try much beside."
He realized his blunder even as the words left his lips, and sought to correct it as best he might. "Why, yes, I do, too," he went on, as if assailed by sudden memory. "I dropped into her place kind of late, and they said she'd gone to bed headache, I guess.... Yes, she was home, of course. She didn't go out of the house, all night."
Ah, if she only had a little money, enough to make possible her running away, or a profession into which she could plunge, and in which she could distinguish herself, or a great talent, or a father who would stand by her and take care of her And the bright head would go down on her hands, and the tears have their way. "Headache?" Thorny would ask, full of sympathy. "Oh, splitting!"
But in the one which followed, the fresh boy sent a ball just by mid-wicket, a run was stolen, and I, too, grew so excited that I forgot my headache and rose to my knees. It was a fresh over, a change had been made in the bowling, and the first ball was delivered and stopped. The second ball went rushing by the wicket, but it was not wide; and now the third ball was bowled.
When they entered the studio, they found Valentine all ready for them, with his drawing-board at his side, and his cartoon-sketch for the proposed new picture of Hercules bringing to King Eurystheus the Erymanthian Boar, lying rolled up at feet. He said he had got rid of his headache, and felt perfectly well now; but Zack observed that he was not in his good spirits.
This is the identical note. You have all heard the various theories of the jar and have read the note. Here it is in plain, cold black and white in Dr. Dixon's own handwriting, as you know, and reads: 'This will cure your headache. Dr. Dixon." Alma Willard seemed as one paralysed. Was Kennedy, who had been engaged by her father to defend her fiance, about to convict him?
