The body was lifted to the plain couch in the room, a hasty examination was made of pulse and heart, a vial of brandy was produced from her satchel, and messengers were despatched for things needed, and especially for beef-tea. "Is he dead, Dr. Leigh? Is he any better, doctor? What is the matter, doctor?" "Want of nourishment," replied Dr. Leigh, savagely.
Very soon Miss Jane fell into a heavy sleep, and, while the nurse busied herself in preparing a bottle of beef-tea, the orphan sat with her head pressed against the bedpost, and her eyes riveted on the face of the watch in her palm, where the minute-hand seemed now and then to stop, as if for breathing-time, and the hour-hand to have forgotten the way to two o'clock.
Hemorrhoids may result; they must be topically treated; mild astringents may be used when the tendency seems getting out of eventual control; bland foods must be given as often as the usually fastidious appetite will tolerate them; the only tonic must be beef-tea diffusible stimulus invariably increasing the agony, whether in the form of ale, wine, or spirits.
She got quite annoyed with Sam for saying, supposing there was a mistake and he came round in the middle of it, how'd he feel? and said there was no satisfying some people, do wot you would. At the end o' six days Sam was still alive and losing a shilling a day, to say nothing of buying 'is own beef-tea and such-like.
'It was on the day after New Year's Day, said Geraldine, now speaking very fast. 'You were all at church, and she came out of this room with Bernard in her arms and called to me that I might come and sit with him, because she was going down to the kitchen to make some beef-tea. And just then she put her foot into a loop of whip-cord, and fell.
"God bless me! You are surely not Ramon?" I exclaimed. "No; I am Geist. It is my turn of duty as your nurse. Can I get you anything?" "Thank you very much; you are all very kind. I feel rather faint, and perhaps if I had something to eat it might do me good." "Certainly. There is some beef-tea ready. Here it is. Shall I feed you?" "Thank you.
Rosalie kept a light burning, and every now and then mended the little fire, that the beef-tea might be ready whenever her mother wanted it. And many times she gazed at her picture, and wished she were the little lamb safe in the Good Shepherd's arms. For she felt weary and tired, and longed for rest. The next morning the child heard Toby's voice as soon as it was light.
It's been the way with Peter anyway, for the Lord has delivered him and prospered him, and I'm hearing on the best authority he has five thousand golden sovereigns sent home to Mr. Dumbell's bank at Douglas." Grannie came up with a basin of beef-tea, and Cæsar was hustled out of the room. "Come now, bogh; take a spoonful, and I'll lave you to yourself," said Grannie.
A clean white serviette is generally pinned round this before it comes to table. Various attractive-looking brown crocks are sold for the purpose. But anyone who possesses the old-fashioned "beef-tea" jar needs nothing else. It is important to ensure that a new casserole does not crack the first time of using.
Him and I we ain't got much in common except his clothes and that confounded beef-tea and slushin's. And then there's Mr. Gordon. He's a good hearty sort, he is. Comes galamphin' into the room, kickin' a couple of footstools and upsettin' things promiscuous. It cheers a invalid up, that sort o' thing." Marie laughed in an awkward, unwonted way.
