Occupying a small, single-cotted, electric-bell-less room in the outlying ward brick-lined and corrugated-iron-built like the greater building, and reserved for infectious cases the Reverend Julius might have been said to be marooned, had not his dark-eyed, transparent, wasted young face created such hot competition among the nurses for the privilege of attending on him, that he had frequently received breakfast and dinner in duplicate, and once three teas.

I won't say but what, between whiles, we've been pretty lively at Symonds's; and I won't say Hallo!
Sunk at a proper distance from the house, and connected with it by a drain so tightly put together that none of the contents can escape, the cesspool, which may be an elaborate, brick-lined cistern, or merely an old hogshead thoroughly tarred within and without, and sunk in the ground, becomes one of the most important adjuncts of a good garden.
