He now travelled for health's sake, and went to Algiers, where he lived quietly for several years. His life was brought to an end by a drunken Arab, who threw a large stone at him while he was riding in his carriage one day, striking him on the head. As a violinist Vieuxtemps possessed a wonderful staccato, both on the up and down bow. His intonation was perfect.
A power of attorney was to be prepared; the books were to be stored, the wine sold and the flat let if he had not returned from America within a stated period. . . . "You see, I've more money than I can spend," Eric explained. "It's well invested, so that, if I never do another stroke of work, I shall have something to live on. Well, my health's gone to pieces, and I want a long rest and change.
"I don't want to prevent you from cryin' a colleen machree; for I know it will lighten an' aise your heart," said Honor; "but remimber your wakeness an' your poor health; an', Connor avourneen, don't you if you love her don't forget the state her health's in either." "Mother, mother, you know it's the last time I'll ever look upon my Una's face again," he exclaimed.
Heath, perhaps, could not be dubbed with a name. Was he a Bohemian who, for his health's sake, could not live in Bohemia? She remembered the crucifix standing in front of the piano where he passed so many hours, the strange and terrible words he had chosen to set to music, the setting he had given them. It was an uncompromising nature, an uncompromising talent. And yet there was the other side.
"Well, well, Mangrove, my man," said Mr Bang, "I will ask leave of my friends here to have the dog bestowed in a corner of the piazza, so let the boys lay him down there, and here is a glass of grog for you so. Now go back again," as the poor fellow had drank our health's.
A private concern got hold of that franchise. It holds the right to-day. It saves money by pumping its water out of the Gamonic River. Saves money and wastes lives. The Board of Health's reports show that there were eleven hundred cases of typhoid fever in this city last year. In my family my mother and two of my children died.
It fully explained his eccentricities, John reflected sagely, as he mixed himself a grog. Poor Alan! He was drunk; and what a dreadful thing was drink, and what a slave to it poor Alan was, to drink in this unsociable, uncomfortable fashion! The man who would drink alone, except for health's sake as John was now doing was a man utterly lost. He took the grog out, and felt hazier, but warmer.
Lorilleux, annoyed at not having any fat himself, said that it was soft and unhealthy. Coupeau ignored him and went on drinking more and more, saying it was for his health's sake. His hair was beginning to turn grey and his face to take on the drunkard's hue of purplish wine. He continued to act like a mischievous child.

Nevertheless, I had an idea in my mind that it was not wholly for her health's sake that Lady Angela walked abroad so early. "Tell me," she said presently, "have you had a visitor this morning?" "What, at this hour?" I exclaimed. "There are other early risers besides you and me," she said. "The spinney gate was open, so some one has passed through." I shook my head.
She still drops a foreign word into her talk now and then, and there is still a subtle foreign flavor or fragrance about even her exactest English and long may this abide! for it has for me a charm that is very pleasant.
