He has had a slight touch of fever, he says; but it's all over now, and he hopes he is getting acclimatized. 'Of fever! and who took care of him? he would want nursing and so far from home. Oh, Cynthia! 'Oh, I don't fancy he had any nursing, poor fellow!
All along the back of the gardenbeds a quantity of climbing plants grew up and covered the walls of the neighboring houses with a magnificent mantle; the brick-work piers were hidden in clusters of honeysuckle; and, to crown all, in a couple of terra-cotta vases at the summit, a pair of acclimatized cactuses displayed to the astonished eyes of the ignorant those thick leaves bristling with spiny defences which seem to be due to some plant disease.
Such an attack would at his first landing have carried him off, but he was now getting acclimatized, and his supply of quinine was abundant.

His figure gave the impression of a fortressed island in the middle of an empty sea. His foot was rolled in bandages and placed on a low stool before him; within reach of his hand was a knobbed blackthorn stick, a bell and a copy of the "Times" newspaper. Fortunately Lady Staines was impervious to sound and acclimatized to fury.
Though steamers were not running, perspiration was. Oh, the heat! In my excursions in and around the town I found that even the mule I had hired, acclimatized as it was to heat and thirst and hunger, began to show signs of fatigue. Can man or beast be expected to work when the temperature stands at 130 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade?
Doctor Allday was an elderly man, with a cool manner and a ruddy complexion thoroughly acclimatized to the atmosphere of pain and grief in which it was his destiny to live. "That's a curious woman," he said, when Mrs. Ellmother closed the door; "the most headstrong person, I think, I ever met with. But devoted to her mistress, and, making allowance for her awkwardness, not a bad nurse.
