"Sassafras, that makes tea for skin disease; Ginseng, that's good to sell; Bloodroot for the blood in springtime; Goldthread, that cures sore mouths; Pipsissewa for chills and fever; White-man's Foot, that springs up wherever a White-man treads; Indian cup, that grows where an Indian dies; Dandelion roots for coffee; Catnip tea for a cold; Lavender tea for drinking at meals; Injun Tobacco to mix with boughten tobacco; Hemlock bark to dye pink; Goldthread to dye yellow, and Butternut rinds for greenish."
In the morning, which was his "well time," he prepared a little food for the household and got ready for the night of raging fever by putting a bucket of water on a block at the head of each bunk. About one o'clock, with fearful regularity, the chills would come on, with trembling from head to foot and chattering teeth, and cold, cold, within and without.
Upon these words, my father sprung from the floor, and asked her eagerly, where? But oh! Mrs. Booth, how can I describe the particulars of a scene to you, the remembrance of which chills my blood with horror, and which the agonies of my mind, when it past, made all a scene of confusion!
'What does this boy want? he said to Ratsey sharply. 'He wants the same as I want, and that's a glass of Ararat milk to keep out autumn chills, the sexton answered, drawing another chair up to the trestle-table.
In response to the barkeeper's glance of curiosity as Uncle Ben seldom drank, and then only as a social function with others he explained: "I reckon straight whiskey is about ez good ez the next thing for blind chills."
"It makes the chills go up and down my back to hear you talk like that; and they don't allow no such doctrines in the church." "The Apostle Paul allowed 'em," Mrs. Daggett pointed out, "so did the Psalmist. You read your Bible, Maria, with that in mind, and you'll see."
Then, if a cold wind comes sweeping along, high up in the sky, and chills this vapour, it forms into great bodies of water-dust clouds, and the sky is overcast. Such clouds form often on warm, still summer's day, and they are shaped like masses of wool, ending in a straight line below.
"I I don't see how you ever did it, you're such a blamed fool. Now let's go back to the house, it's sundown." "We'll be along directly," his son assented. "There are chills in the evening air," Mr. Garavel protested. "I'm sorry, but we were waiting for the fairies. They were almost in sight when you frightened them away." Gertrudis nodded. "It is quite true, Senor Antonio.
"One love," she went on, "is like the white rose pallid, pale, wistful, weak a lifeless thing that lies dead against the hand that holds it that wearies the eye and chills the soul.... The other love is like the red rose rich, rare, glowing, glorious that thrills the heart with the joy of living and quickens the blood in the veins until the very soul cries out in the frenzy of its fragrance a pulsing, throbbing love of body and soul and heart and head, that rushes upon one like a storm at sea, dashing one hither and thither, impotent in its tearing, tossing grip.... That is our love the Red Love and it is sweet, is it not, My Fool?"
Thus pressed, she proceeded "Whether it was Nanny's intention to befriend me or not, I was thrust upon her, for a slow fever followed the chills and shivering that had seized me, and for seven long weeks I lay between life and death on Nanny's neat old bed.
