Here she sat, in this peaceful room, with all the homely paraphernalia of convalescence about her the fire, the bed laid invitingly open with a couple of books, and a reading-lamp on the little table at the side, the faint smell of sandalwood; and before the fire dozed a peaceful old lady full too of gentle expectation of her son, yet knowing nothing whatever of the vague perils that were about him, that had, indeed, whatever they were, already closed in on him.... And that son was approaching nearer every instant through the country lanes....
Croix with politeness while she remained, he gave orders to Dr. "I am too nervous to be bothered with women," he added; and Stevens obeyed without comment. Hamilton's convalescence was cheered by two facts: the revival of his spirits and equilibrium, and frequent assurances from his wife that for the first time in five years she was entirely well.
"For convalescents, greater care is required than for others; the King, and the whole of France, beseech you, with my voice, to have respect and care for the convalescence of our monarch, and I beg you, madame, to leave at once for Fontevrault." "For Fontevrault?" I cried, without betraying my emotion. "Fontevrault is near Poitiers; it is too far away.
Et l'idee que vous souffriez tant de mal, sans qu'il me fut possible de vous offrir le moindre soulagement, m'a ete extremement penible. Pour un malade la lecture de mes 'Catacombes' ne me parait pas excessivement gai, mais je reconnais la votre aimable souvenir de l'auteur. Bref, vous etes en convalescence. Le soleil printanier, meme dans nos climats, luit d'un eclat extraordinaire.
In their case, his convalescence had been temporarily painful, but brief. Force of will and an active life had worked the cure. He had merely braced himself, and firmly ejected them from his mind. A week or two of aching emptiness, and his heart had been once more in readiness, all nicely swept and garnished, for the next lodger. But, in the case of Molly, it was different.
'All I know of him, sir, is that he is fortunate to enjoy the particular confidence of his master. 'He has a long head. But, now, he is a disappointing man in action; responsibility overturns him. He is the reverse of Roy, whose advice I do not take, though I'm glad to set him running. Von Redwitz is in the town. He shall call on you, and amuse an hour or so of your convalescence.
You lay me under additional obligation," she said. "I will, at an early day consult him." Thus closed this deeply interesting interview. I attended Blanche Montgomery through her slow convalescence, and had many opportunities for observing her and her mother closely. The more intimately I knew them the higher did they rise in my estimation.
My medical advisers succeeded in saving my life and left me to pay the penalty of their triumph by the loss of one of my senses. "At an early period of my convalescence, I noticed one day, with languid surprise, that the voices of the doctors, when they asked me how I had slept and if I felt better, sounded singularly dull and distant.
Star made of her convalescence was, to kick her nurse on the leg, break her halter into fragments, and gallop off to the hills with a loud neigh of defiance. Whenever the topic of feminine ingratitude came on the carpet at that station, this, which Star had done, used always to be told as an instance in point. Two years later, exactly the same thing happened again.
So soon as Caterham knew the moment for grasping his nettle had come, he took the law into his own hands and sent to arrest Cossar and Redwood. Redwood was there for the taking. He had been undergoing an operation in the side, and the doctors had kept all disturbing things from him until his convalescence was assured. Now they had released him.
