It contained beds for fifty men; but on this day there were less than twenty sick and crippled Tommies convalescing here.
Adams often invited some convalescing patient of the doctor to go for a quiet little drive, and it was mortifying to have Job, taking advantage of the moment when his mistress was deep in conversation, stalk solemnly under the arching gateway and bring his invalid passenger to a halt beside some new-made grave.
Otherwise they were mentally, morally and physically perfect, and while I was convalescing I often stood by the window and watched them at play in the snow and it caused me to shudder every time I heard those youngsters shout with glee while they enjoyed the winter's sports, when I thought of poor Peoria Red whom this same merciless snow helped to murder.
I have been also very much indisposed for the last three months, but have according to my own practice abstained from medical advice, and am now fast convalescing.

If you are convalescing from typhoid fever, you are likely to have a ravenous appetite.
It's not a time to be hard on anybody. To-morrow we may stand in need of sympathy ourselves. Horror has shell-shocked every one, civilians as well as fighting-men. The blackness of insecurity ! We're all convalescing." She halted abruptly, biting her lip and peering at him, suddenly aware that she had been confessing herself.
All through those long, weary winter weeks I had been hovering between life and death in an obscure hospital at Richmond. How I first came there I know not, but when at length I struggled back to recollection and life, there I found myself, and there I remained, slowly convalescing, a prisoner to weakness, until finally discharged but two days before.
