Themison and surgeons; little conscious of the tragic depths he struck or of the burden he gave her heart to bear. Her look alarmed him. She seemed to be hugging herself up to the tingling scalp, and was in a moment marble to sight and touch. She looked like the old engravings of martyrs taking the bite of the jaws of flame at the stake.
Nataly could not utter all that her insaneness of feeling made her think with regard to Victor's daughter daughter also of the woman whom her hard conscience accused of inflammability. 'Here is a note from Dr. Themison, dear. Victor seized it, perused, and drew the big breath. 'From Themison, he said; he coughed. 'Don't think to deceive me, said she. 'I have not read the contents, I know them.
To the stupefaction of physicians, in a manner to make a sane man ask whether she was not being retained as an instrument for one of the darker purposes of Providence and where are we standing if we ask such things? she held on to her thread of life. February went by. And not a word from Themison; nor from Carling, nor from the Rev. Groseman Buttermore, nor from Jarniman.
The dear old boy has the look of a goldfish, king of his globe. 'The dear old boy has to me the look of a pot on the fire, with a loose lid. I may have the summons from Themison to-morrow, Victor thought. The success of the day, was a wine that rocked the soberest of thoughts.
We shall soon be thanking heaven for freedom'; her fingers writhed upon his and gripped them in a torture of remorse on his behalf. A shattering throb of her heart gave her sight of herself as well.

I believe the woman keeps herself alive for it: we've given her another lease! though it can only be for a very short time; Themison is precise; Carling too. If we hold back I have great faith in Themison the woman's breath on us is confirmed.

He spied at an obsequious watch, that told him it was time to quit the office. 'You've done nothing? Victor asked in a tone of no expectation. 'Only to hear that her latest medical man is Themison. 'Where did you hear?
Themison the preliminary sketch of the grand object of the expedition: indeed one of the eminent ones of the world; matter for an Epic; though it is to be feared, that our part in it will not encourage a Cis-Atlantic bard. To America the honours from beginning to end belong.
On the Sunday previous to the day, Dr. Themison accompanied the amateurs by rail to Wrensham, to hear 'trial of the acoustics' of the Concert-hall.
To one they gave a false name; as regards the other two they lied. The name was false, for they asserted that the fish was a sea-hare, whereas it was quite another fish, which Themison, my servant, who knows something of medicine, as you heard from his own lips, bought of his own suggestion for me to inspect.
