My mistress says to him, "Is it heart-disease?" And he says, "Yes, heart-disease of a most dangerous kind." He told her exactly what he thought was the matter, which I was not clever enough to understand. But I know this, he ended by saying that he was afraid neither his help nor any other doctor's help was likely to be of much service. My mistress took this ill news more quietly than my master.
"I am seeing her professionally now; once or twice a week. She had one or two fainting-fits after she came down, and called me in." "Kirton says he used to have those fainting-fits. Are they a symptom of heart-disease?" "In Lady Hartledon I attribute them entirely to her present state of health. I assure you, I don't see the slightest cause for fear as regards your wife's heart.
"How do you mean?" "My mother won't have it said. She ignores the disease altogether, and will not allow it to be mentioned, or hinted at. It's bronchitis, she tells everyone; and of course bronchitis it must be. I did have a cough when I came here: my chest is not strong." "But why should she ignore heart-disease?" "There was a fear that Maude would be subject to it when she was a child.
But what are obstacles for but to be overleapt? What avails heart-disease, what avail eld and feverish haste and total lack of literary training, as against the romantic instinct of the lady who created the Rev. Charles Hailing? Nor, though Charles Hailing died some months later, are we told that he died from the strain of composition.
"'Well, Signore, you look as if you had never seen a dead man before in all your life! "'I have seen plenty, I replied, 'but never one so young, and so handsome. "'He dropped down quite suddenly, said he, volunteering the information, 'and died in a few minutes. 'Then finding that I remained silent, added: "'But I am told that it is always so in cases of heart-disease.
And Margery Badcock came, and wept, and hung upon her poor husband; and died, that summer, of heart-disease. I like not to tell of slaughter, though it might be of wolves and tigers; and that was a night of fire and slaughter, and of very long-harboured revenge. Enough that ere the daylight broke upon that wan March morning, the only Doones still left alive were the Counsellor and Carver.
He suffers from the heart-disease, and has been expecting me." "Oh, you are a physician?" "Yes, sir. I attended his father at his last illness." Mr. Bixby's heart began to beat rapidly. His mind became equally active, and, although he had no experience to be guided by, he began to suspect the nature of this man's business with Bangs.
But I don't believe a word of it; I never saw the least symptom of heart-disease in my wife." "Nor I," said the doctor. "Of course I have not examined her; neither have I had much opportunity for ordinary observation." "I wish you would contrive to get the latter. Come up and call often; make some excuse for seeing Lady Hartledon professionally, and watch her symptoms."
Seeing him so one bright day, and hearing two old men talking behind me, I learned for the first time that the Blake boys' father had died of heart-disease. It is odd that it should have come on Joshua now, quite suddenly, along with his broken mask and his broken secret, his frightened smile, and his, "All right! Splendid!" But so it was. And so we came to the day appointed.
"I have come to tell you a story, Mr. Brander. There was once a man who was solicitor, agent, and friend of a certain land-owner. One day he had heard from his client's doctor that he had had an attack of heart-disease and that his life was only worth a few weeks' purchase; also that the landowner desired that an absolute silence should be observed as to his illness.
