The sight of such a room made me feel quite ill, and it was with the greatest reluctance that I deposited my bonnet and shawl in it. Outside the door were some medicine-bottles and other suspicious signs of illness, and, after making some cautious inquiries, we found that there was a case of typhus fever in the house, also one of Asiatic cholera, and three of ague!
First, there was our friend Peter Mangrove, cowering in a corner under the after part of the awning, covered up with a blanket, and shaken as if with an ague fit, with the patron peering over his shoulder, no less alarmed.
He was quivering like one suddenly stricken with ague. Not an inch of his body was free from this fearful palsy. "Oh, what would I give for the light now!" he thought; "will they never come?" Yes. What was that? Merciful powers! his prayer seemed to be answered. He saw the faint glimmering of a light Yes, it was coming this way. What a relief! He drew a long, long sigh.
There'll be plenty of time, and it's moonlight at nine." "I'll go with you, Dick," said Marston. "What's the matter with the man?" "Our own particular complaint, which the people don't want you to kill, my lad," said the squire. "Marsh fever ague. Years to come when it's swept away by the drainage, the people will talk of it as one of the good things destroyed by our work.
And in countries where certain colors distinguish certain families, and are hereditary, so to say, it is convenient and pleasant to recognize a coat-of-arms, or a livery, and to know that the representative of a great and famous family is passing by. "That's a Howard, that's a Eussell, that's a Dorset, that's de Colique, that's Mount Ague," old Lord Mammon used to say as the carriages whirled by.
His head ached violently, cold shiverings shook his frame like an ague; the very strength of the constitution on which the fever had begun to fasten itself augmented its danger. Lumley the last man in the world to think of the possibility of dying fought up against his own sensations, ordered his post-horses, as his visit of survey was now over, and scarcely even alluded to his indisposition.
Thus, again, he speaks of plague, fever, and ague, as resulting from the neglect of "organic laws," and as resulting from it so necessarily that they could be averted neither by Providence nor by Prayer; and he illustrates his views by the mental distress of the wife of Ebenezer Erskine, and the recorded experience of Mrs. Hannah More.
The imposing scene before me, after a long absence from social meetings in civilized life, was very cheering, and, had it not been for the inertia I felt at the time, arising from a fatiguing journey and the tertian ague, I should have felt disposed to participate in the day's enjoyment.
The first of his known illnesses was "Ague and Feaver, which I had to an extremity" about 1748, or when he was sixteen. In the sea voyage to Barbadoes in 1751, the seamen told Washington that "they had never seen such weather before," and he says in his diary that the sea "made the Ship rowl much and me very sick."
"It will be no use, I can see that. Well, as you please. I'll come once more." The young fellow in his jaunty new clothes shook as if he had the ague. He had touched her. For one minute she had been his! He turned and walked quickly across the Platz. Lucy, left alone, was full of remorse. She looked down into her heart; she had forgotten to do it before.
