What must it have been then, for Lady Isabel, who had endured this longing for years? Talk of the mal du pays, which is said to attack the Swiss when exiled from their country that is as nothing compared to the heartsickness which clung to Lady Isabel.
But if he brought any back camp it was because the game walked up and waited to be shot; half the time Bud did not know where he was going, much less whether there were deer within ten rods or ten miles. During those spells of heartsickness he would sit all the evening and smoke and stare at some object which his mind failed to register.
Older and wiser heads than young Arthur Benham's might well forget the world for her. Ste. Marie watched, and the heartsickness within him was like a physical pain, keen and bitter. He thought of that first and only previous meeting the single minute in the Champs-Elysées, when her eyes had held him, had seemed to beseech him out of some deep agony.
It was early in June when at last the lights went down behind the back drop and came up in front, to show Sara Lee knitting again, though not by the fire. The amazing interlude was over. Over, except in Sara Lee's heart. The voyage had been a nightmare. She had been ill for one thing a combination of seasickness and heartsickness.

They spent the rest of their lives in the storeroom or the kitchen slaving for the comfort of the men they could no longer amuse." This so aptly described Virginia's own situation that her interest in Lucy's trousseau faded abruptly, while a wave of heartsickness swept over her.
Her heart rose with a wild, unreasoning hope. When a dip in the road hid them, Mary turned toward the house, not knowing whether to go to Jean or to slip away through the wood. But the instant her eye fell on Madam Carolan's window she knew what had halted Sidney, and a wave of heartsickness made her breath come short. Jean had taken her place there, to watch and wait.
With a return of the heartsickness which he had felt that day, he unfolded it far enough to see the date. It was the day of the drawing. He dropped the half-folded sheet to the floor and took up the telegrams. One, dated the day before, was from Meander. The other was evidently Shanklin's reply, which perhaps had not been filed, or perhaps was a copy.
