The bothers meet me when the girl makes the fire in the morning and puts the ashes in the grate instead of the coal, and they keep right along with me all day until I go to bed at night and find the sheet under the mattress and the pillows at the foot.
The ill man seemed to be husbanding his resources as well as considering how best to begin. At last he moistened his dry lips and made an effort. "You all of you assume I'm going to get well of this," he stated casually. "Get well? Of course you are!" "I'm not so sure. Not that it bothers me. I've had my day.
Then, picking off a glowing cinder, he took her arm and they started down hill. When they came out of the smoke he was breathless and Carrie gasped. "Oh, Jim, you have burned your hands!" she said.

But I am afraid it's over the heads of your readers. At least it is over mine. It sounds beautiful, but I don't understand it. Your scientific slang is beyond me.
