Behind, in the restaurant, the waiters were running over the pavement to shut the great windows. The rush of the rain made a noise like quantities of silk rustling. The Marchesino laughed, quite unabashed.
"It was when I was attacked by violent neuralgia that I made use of this remedy, which since then I have, perhaps, slightly abused. "I had acute pains in my head and neck, and an intolerable heat of the skin, a feverish restlessness. I took up a large bottle of ether, and, lying down, I began to inhale it slowly.
It come entirely onexpected to me, and contained the startlin' intelligence that my own cousin, on my mother's own side, had come home to Loontown to his sister's, and wuz very sick with nervous prostration, neuralgia, rheumatism, etc., and expected paralasys every minute, and heart failure, and such. And his sister, Miss Timson, who wrote the letter, beset me to come over and see him.
The misfortune was that he could not find in himself any of the causes which resolve into insomnia; he had neither meningitis nor brain fever, nor anything that indicated a cerebral tumor; he was not anaemic; he ate well; he did not suffer with neuralgia, nor with any acute or chronic affection that generally accompanied the absence of sleep; he drank neither tea nor alcohol; and without this state of over-excitement of the encephalic centres, he might have said that he was in good health, a little thin, but that was all.

He replied with some indignation that he had not, and that he had a communication of importance to make to her. "What! Another!" "Yes, another," he said, with a sour smile; "but this time it does not concern myself.
She sprang in beside him and told him about the neuralgia. "I had it first when I used to sit up with father. Now I have it all the time and dreadful headaches. I never knew what aches meant before.
