No hat was on the rack, but when she turned into the parlor a sickness came to her heart as she smiled and said good-morning to Henry Fair. He, too, smiled, but she fancied he was pale. They mentioned the weather, which was quite pleasant enough.

"We had had two young boys in the ship, son and nephew of the captain. The one had died from sickness, the other had fallen overboard and been drowned.
She found other things far more important to occupy her, however, before Christmas came. For that winter was very severe and cold, and there was a great deal of sickness in the neighbourhood.

It is many a year since I laid the Long Sickness away; his sleep is sound. And just as sound is the sleep of the White Logic.
