She was quite delighted in the change to another home, where there were two girls. "Could Edith do anything for them?" "They are all so good here, and mother doesn't need much, she seems to sleep a good deal." The sick girl at the Clairvoyant's was improving. Not even a case of measles had been reported in town. So the winter day drew to a close.
Of course he's far too sick to be taken home, so his mother has come up to wait on him, and I'm to live over here until he is better." This was mingled bitter and sweet. We were sorry to hear that Peter had the measles; but it would be jolly to have the Story Girl living with us all the time. What orgies of story telling we should have!

But this form of attack, milder and much slighter in degree, may occur in almost every known infection, such as pneumonia, typhoid, tuberculosis, scarlet fever, measles, and influenza.

"Young people pass through such phases as through the measles," she was accustomed to say. Addie was too much wrapped up in herself to think particularly about others.
Here, as he grew to be about eight years old, his attachment may be said to have ended. The beautiful mother vision had faded away after a while. During nearly two years his mother had scarcely spoken to the child. She disliked him. He had the measles and the whooping cough. He bored her.
