Sophia sat waiting on the sofa in the parlour. It appeared to her that, though little more than a month had elapsed since her arrival in Bursley, she had already acquired a new set of interests and anxieties.
I feel thrills of pride when I see us sitting cheek by jowl on the news-stands. Lots of love. In February, 1894, Richard was forced by a severe attack of sciatica to give up temporarily the gayeties of New York and for a cure he naturally chose our home in Philadelphia, where he remained for many weeks.
The proprietor was a brave old white-faced Swede. He had wandered this way, Heaven knows how, and taken up his acres I forget how many years ago all alone, bent double with sciatica, and with six bits in his pocket and an axe upon his shoulder.

She ought not to go out. Yet her sciatica was strangely better. It was folly to think of going out. Yet ...! And Lily did not come. She was rather hurt that Lily had not paid her a second visit.
I saw the enemy on the hill across the valley and got six sharp shooters and began on them, then the fire got so hot that we had to lie on our faces and crawl back to the rear. I had a wounded man to carry and was in a very bad way because I had sciatica, Two of his men took him off while I stopped to help a worse wounded trooper, but I found he was dead.
