The doctor prescribed leeches, mustard-poultices, and calomel, and ordered him to be bled. 'Is he dangerously ill? asked Bersenyev. 'Yes, very dangerously, answered the doctor. 'Severe inflammation of the lungs; peripneumonia fully developed, and the brain perhaps affected, but the patient is young. His very strength is something against him now.
He quickly drew near the terrace, and said with a nod, 'Good morning, gentlemen; sorry I was late for tea; I'll be back directly; I must just put these captives away. 'What have you there leeches? asked Pavel Petrovitch. 'No, frogs. 'Do you eat them or keep them? 'For experiment, said Bazarov indifferently, and he went off into the house.
He mayn't live till morning. They say he looks broken-hearted. He'll throw himself into that cold lake to-night, maybe and the leeches the black worms oo! or else he'll kill himself with that ugly pistol." It was in vain that Isabel talked to her, in vain that she tried to argue with a cataract of feeling. It was rowing against Niagara with a canoe-paddle. Then he would hand her the notes.
Wolff, the missionary, counted on Mount Lebanus, thirteen large and ancient cedars, besides the numerous small ones, in the whole 387 trees. The largest of these trees was about 15 feet high, not one-third of the height of hundreds of English cedars; for instance, those at Whitton, Pain's Hill, Caenwood, and Juniper Hall, near Dorking. Leeches.
By that time the porters who carried Verkimier's boxes seemed so tired that the hermit thought it advisable to encamp, but the ground was so wet and the leeches were so numerous that they begged him to go on, assuring him that the village could not be far distant. In another half-hour the darkness became intense, so that a man could scarcely see his fellow, even when within two paces of him.
Somebody nursed the figure, too he is sure of that bringing it water, medicines, food, and leeches for its aching temples; smoothing its pillow and arranging its bed-clothes, in those endless nights, so much longer, yet scarce more dismal than the days, somebody, whose voice he never heard, whose face he never saw, yet in whose slow, cautious tread there seemed a familiar sound.
I don't call my evil good. In Physical Science, or in Pure Ethics whoop! I am Antony yet! Nature, by a kind of Monroe Doctrine, has allotted the dry land to man, and various other animals; the water to fish, leeches, etc.; the air to birds, bats, flies, etc.; the fire to salamanders, imps, unbaptised babies, etc.; and she strictly penalises the trespass of each class on the domain of any other.
Senhor Pascoal, who had been detained by the severe rain at a better spot, at last came up, and, knowing that leeches abounded in the rivulets, procured a number, and applied some dozens to the nape of the neck and the loins. This partially relieved the pain. He was then obliged to move forward, in order to purchase food for his large party.
"I hope," said Athelstane, somewhat moved by this part of his friend's discourse, "they will not forget to send us some wine and refactions at noon we had scarce a breathing-space allowed to break our fast, and I never have the benefit of my food when I eat immediately after dismounting from horseback, though the leeches recommend that practice."
Markham came up to the window, and after the greeting on each side, walked along with his hand on the door, as the carriage slowly mounted the steep hill, answering her questions: 'How is he? 'No better. He has been putting on leeches, and made himself so giddy, that yesterday he could hardly stand. 'And they have not relieved him? 'Not in the least.
