This shift Ulysses made for one in need, and would to heaven that I had now that strength in my limbs, which made me in those days to be accounted fit to be a leader under Ulysses! I should not then want the loan of a cloak or a mantle, to wrap about me and shield my old limbs from the night-air."
Miss Bell sent for some shawls, and warned the French women that the evenings were fresh and that the night-air was dangerous. Then suddenly she said: "Darling, you know Monsieur Jacques Dechartre? Well, he wrote to me that he would be at Florence next week. I am glad Monsieur Jacques Dechartre is to meet you in our city.
This good fortune may be attributable to the care with which we guarded ourselves from the night-air and the damps; and besides, we left the coast immediately, and, after a brief visit to Sierra Leone, pursued our homeward course to America.
"Did the fever attack him suddenly, Julio?" he asked. "Is he very ill?" "No, signor. It may not have any bad consequences; but he could not venture to expose himself to the cold and damp night-air." Geronimo seemed in deep thought. "Signor, my master did not send me solely to inform you of his indisposition; he directed me to accompany you to the serenade, and to protect you in case of danger.

Suddenly there arose on the still night-air a low wail, so deep so suggestive of a breaking heart, that I sprang up and leaped to the girl's side. There was no occasion to ask what had occurred. The mother lay there dead, with the jaw dropped and the glazing eyes staring at the sky. Kneeling down I gently closed the eyes, and with a napkin bound up the face.
