I kept hoping you and the girls would confess to Dad that you telephoned Nan to come back to Port Agnew that time I was sick with typhoid " "Eh? What's that?" The Laird sat up bristling. Mrs. McKaye flushed scarlet and seemed on the verge of tears. Donald went to her and took her in his arms.
Yes, I should like a game of checkers if we can find an island to play on!" The day wore on in the hospital. Floors and walls were all scrubbed, window-panes glistening, a Sunday freshness everywhere. The men agreed that housecleaning was all right after it was over. The remnant of the wounded occupied the lower floor; typhoid, malaria, and other ills were upstairs.
Henri had at first paid two visits each day, but soon he spent the whole night with them, giving every hour he could spare to the child. At the outset he had feared it was a case of typhoid fever; but so contradictory were the symptoms that he soon felt himself involved in perplexity.
Ring softly, for the Lieutenant-Colonel lies there with a dreadfully wounded arm, and two sons of the family, one wounded like the Colonel, one fighting with death in the fog of a typhoid fever, will start with fresh pangs at the least sound you can make.
