The sun hovered in a sky of unclouded azure.
"I was very glad to get to bed, and to find that I had not taken a serious cold, for everything was open behind me in the theatre, and the night was piercingly cold, whilst I perspired with the exertion of speaking, and felt the wind blowing at my back, striking me like a wet blanket. I was very tired. "Tuesday. Officers' Meetings all day.
"Oh, heavens," I cried, with a sudden pang of horror, "am I to be thus devoured by the fire fiend? And is there no one to help? Help! Help! Help!"

Matilda perceived my disorder and coming towards me, enquired with a tender and anxious voice, whether I felt myself ill.
