"There are children in the house they may develop measles or chicken-pox at any moment you never know when children of that class are free from infection. And I heard an odd report about Mrs. Colwyn's habits the other day. Oh, I think it is too great a risk." But when she said as much after Janetta's departure, she found Margaret for once recalcitrant.
The wall-flower clumps were in bloom in the courtyard of the Abbey, and there were many primroses and delicate primulas in the garden; and all the hyacinths were out withindoors, making a delicious smell. I went to meet my joy with a heart in which there was no sorrow. Richard Dawson was out of danger, and little Robin Ardaragh's case had proved to be merely chicken-pox.
As soon as the fever is abated he ought gradually to resume his usual diet. When he is convalescent, it is well, where practicable, that he should have change of air for a month. How would you distinguish between Modified Small-pox and Chicken-pox?
Again, in Samoa the reddish-seared leaves of the banana-tree were commonly used as plates for handing food; but if any member of the Wild Pigeon family had used banana leaves for this purpose, it was supposed that he would suffer from rheumatic swellings or an eruption all over the body like chicken-pox.
They've had the whooping cough and chicken-pox. My doctor is the renowned Dr. Fiddler. You know of him?" Mr. Bingle proceeded to dilate upon the activities and achievements of Dr. Fiddler.

'O Lord, the chicken-pox, said another woman, 'it killed my two cousins before they were in the army a week. 'Put them four, said the sergeant, 'in the middle room down stairs.
At a later period, we find his taste taking another direction, for he writes, “Of all authors, Byron is precisely the one who excites in me the most intolerable emotion; whereas Scott, in every one of his works, gladdens my heart, soothes, and invigorates me.” Another indication of his bent in these Bonn days was a newspaper essay, in which he attacked the Romantic school; and here also he went through that chicken-pox of authorship—the production of a tragedy.
Poor old England still barges in whenever there is a fight going on, and gets her head knocked, and goes on fighting just the same, and never knows that she is heroic, but blunders on simple-hearted, stupid, sublime! 24 October. I went to the English church this morning with Mr. Lancelot Smith, but there was no service as the chaplain had chicken-pox!
She was able to think for herself and act for herself; and as she perceived that the preachers were making a guess, so she discovered that doctors with bushy eyebrows, who wore dogskin gloves in Summer and who coughed when you asked them a question gaining time to formulate a reply didn't know much more about measles, mumps, chicken-pox and whooping-cough than she did herself.
