Get up, and go to sleep like a good child, or you will have another wretched headache to-morrow, and can't bring me my lunch." He lifted her from the floor, and kissed her hastily. She raised her arms as if to wind them about his neck, but his grave face gave her no encouragement, and turning away she retired to her room, with hot tears rolling over her cheeks.
And he pulled a short black pipe out of his pocket, and sat down to meditate with his feet on the hobs of the empty grate; the other man went down for the liquor; while I, between the brandy and exhaustion, fell fast asleep, and never stirred till I woke the next morning with a racking headache, and saw the big student standing by my bedside, having, as I afterwards heard, sat by me till four in the morning.
I have a racking headache." "She looks ill," said her brother, following Hester's figure with affectionate solicitude, as she passed the window a moment later.
