Why does my heart palpitate so violently? 'Tis but the terrible delusion of my over-heated blood. When once the soul is wrapped in terror the eye behold spectres in every shadow. LOUISA and WORM. Good evening, miss. LOUISA. Heavens! who speaks! Dreadful! dreadful! I fear some dire misfortune is even now realizing the forebodings of my soul! WORM. 'Tis you I seek, miss!
Sometimes Kasana's image rose before his eyes, increasing the fever of his over-heated blood, sometimes he recalled the counsel to become a warrior like his uncle. The advice seemed wise at least he tried to persuade himself that it was because it promised honor and fame, but in reality he wished to follow it because it would bring her for whom his soul yearned nearer to him.
The last few miles has been severe work for poor Ah Sum, clambering among rocks fit only for the footsteps of a goat. He sticks to the tow-line manfully to the end, but wading out to the boat when over-heated, causes him to be seized with violent cramps all over; in his agony he rolls about the deck and implores Yung Po to put him out of his misery forthwith.

"Better go into the men's camp and sit down 'till th' boss gets in," he advised. Thorpe entered a dim, over-heated structure, lined on two sides by a double tier of large bunks partitioned from one another like cabins of boats, and centered by a huge stove over which hung slender poles. The latter were to dry clothes on. Just outside the bunks ran a straight hard bench.
"Well, brother," at length demanded Tiahuana, somewhat sharply, "see you what I mean, or is it merely my fancy a figment of my over-heated imagination?"
