This evening he had been greatly comforted by some fancied improvement in the poor invalid's appearance. "Mother darling, you are better say you are better to-night, and that you will soon be well enough to go back to Loch Lossie," he said as he hung over her at saying "good-night." She smiled fondly upon him. "You wish me to get better so very much, Jeff, I almost feel as if I must."
At these words the invalid's face turned pale, a dark shadow appeared under his eyes, and an expression of pain hovered around his mouth. He looked utterly exhausted.
If there had been gunpowder under the kindling you could have expected an explosion and a wreck." "There's no wreck." "No? I thought there might be somewhere." King spoke quickly. "Do you think I carried it too far?" "I think you carried it some distance for an invalid's diversion." The young man flushed hotly. "I was genuinely interested and I saw no harm.
Along the avenue leading from the town a maidservant came, pushing an invalid's chair, in which a man was sitting. His head was uncovered and his soft felt hat was lying upon his knees, from which a plaid rug reached down to his feet. His forehead was lofty; his hair smooth and fair and slightly grizzled at the temples; his feet were peculiarly large.
This May, who is no goddess, but Circe, masquerading at the dance given in honour of the fair debutante, Summer, puts the kibosh on us all.

How lovely the young girl looked as she sat on a low stool at the head of the invalid's couch and, with her mother's emaciated hand clasped in hers, told her all that she had seen and experienced the evening before!
Extreme curiosity will excite some people as much as fear, or what resembles fear, acts on some other less impressible natures. I may find myself in the midst of strange facts in this little conjurer's room. Or, again, there may be nothing in this poor invalid's chamber but some old furniture, such as they say came over in the Mayflower.
Straight ahead. All the cards on the table, please." Cutty rose and pushed the invalid's chair to a window and drew another up beside it. "My word, the top of the world! Bally odd roost." "You will find it safer here than you would on the shores of Kaspuskoi More," replied Cutty, gravely. "The Caspian wouldn't be a healthy place for you now."
The physician has predicted the poor invalid's near end. Sorrow follows close on joy in this life." There was a moment's silence; then Miss Dumont said: "I think I will try to get a little sleep now, madame. I thank you for your kind interest in me."
Chatterton under many wrappings in the depths of an invalid's chair. Polly went up to her side. "Would you like to have me read the news, Mrs. Chatterton?" she asked gently. Mrs. Chatterton turned her head and looked at her.
