A family mare, heavy in foal, received a vertical wound of the fetlock joint inflicted by a disc-harrow. The cul-de-sac of the ligament of this joint was opened freely. The wound was dressed in the usual manner and again three days later when no suppuration had taken place. Four days later the patient gave birth to a colt and suckled it right along through her convalescence.
In other respects he might consider Barbara cured, and intrust her entire convalescence to her own patience and caution. Perhaps the ardent desire to regain the divine gift of song would protect her from perilous ventures like this last one, and even more certainly the hope which she had confided to the nun and then to him also.
Some days afterwards, when Peter was well on the road to convalescence, his beautiful nurse came and sat by him, a look of pity in her tender, Eastern eyes. "What is it now, Inez?" he asked, noting her changed face. "Senor Pedro, you spoke to me a while ago, when you woke up from your long sleep, of a certain Margaret, did you not?
She had fifty questions to ask; but remembering Dr. Gair's peremptory orders, Carrie placed a finger on her lips and shook her head. There would be plenty of time to talk by-and-by, for convalescence would be a tedious business; in the meantime there was absolute need of perfect rest.
"But I don't know any reason why you and I should discuss it, Mary," she said, getting up in her turn, not quite sure whether she could stand at this early period of her convalescence, but resolved to try. "We are both Mr Wentworth's friends and we need not say any harm of him. I have to get something out of the storeroom for to-night."
Oh, could an account be taken of the dreams of a man in a fever, what great and sublime things would sometimes proceed from his delirium! These subjects of music and opera still engaged my attention during my convalescence, but my ideas were less energetic.
Henceforth, whenever the yearning for the distant John seized upon her with special power, she thought of that night, and loaded the little sons near her with tokens of the tenderest love. On that morning of commencing convalescence her husband's grateful kiss pleased her.
The hours of gradual convalescence were very trying to Beulah, now that the sense of danger no longer nerved her to almost superhuman endurance and exertion. Mr. Graham waited until his adopted son was able to sit up, and then returned to the watering-place where his wife remained. Thus the entire charge of the invalid devolved on the tireless friends who had watched over him in the hour of peril.
But a mental crisis developed, and with it a new cause for apprehension. Even after Jack's temperature was normal and he should have been well on the road to convalescence, there was a veil over his eyes which would not allow him to recognize anybody. When he spoke it was in delirium, living over some incident of the past or of sheer imagination.
He knows the story of the Chihuahua duel; and thinks that the other story that of the disastrous revolution told in detail, might retard the convalescence of his patient. Counselled by him, Colonel Miranda has refrained from communicating it. Ignorant of the cause, Hamersley is all the more eager to learn it. Still, his curiosity does not impel him to importunate inquiry.
