Not only does she live in the most depressing conditions, but she suffers tortures for it, and there's absolutely no need for her to be here at all." "Doctor," said Sophia, solemnly, impressed, "you are quite right. I agree with every word you say."

I did think then, that considering how much she had seen of Alick while the splinters were working out, she ought to have known better than to talk of sciatica; but she made me quite believe in her extreme anxiety, and that she was only going out because it was necessary for her to take care of you on your first appearance.

"I don't come much in his way, he has been a good deal laid up with sciatica, but he seems very fond of her; and it was all her doing that they have been all this time at Littleworthy, instead of being in town for the season.

This tardy favourite of fortune hobbling a little, I think, as if in memory of the sciatica, but with not a trace that I can remember of the sea thoroughly ruralized from head to foot, proceeded to escort us up the hill behind his house. "Who first found the forest?" asked my wife. "The first? I was that man," said he.

"Ah, Doctor, Doctor," cried he, "my old enemy, sciatica, has me in its grip, and why, in this warm climate, I can't understand.

When it got too dark to make out Buckle's nonsense and the notes in the Instructor, me and Mack would light our pipes and talk about science and pearl diving and sciatica and Egypt and spelling and fish and trade-winds and leather and gratitude and eagles, and a lot of subjects that we'd never had time to explain our sentiments about before.

'That's the 'unt comin' 'ome, Rhoda explained. 'Your pore dear auntie always let 'em use our drive for a short cut after the Colonel died.

They afflicted Meehawl with an extraordinary attack of rheumatism and his wife with an equally virulent sciatica, but they got no lasting pleasure from their groans.

So when Captain Shad declared the illness of the South Harniss postmaster confined to his bed with sciatica to be due to his having "stooped to pick up one of them eighty-two page Wild West letters of yours, Mary-'Gusta, and 'twas so heavy he sprained his back liftin' it," Mary only laughed and ventured the opinion that the postmaster's sprained back, if he had one, was more likely due to a twist received in trying to read both sides of a postcard at once.
