His eyes were closed throughout; and when it was done he lay as still as a stone, his poor wasted face all dark against the white pillows. I caught a glimpse too of the Duke: his face was bowed in his hands, and he was weeping so that his shoulders shook with it.
Nearly all these benches were already occupied by those sufferers who could sit down, while the vacant spaces were soon filled with litters and little vehicles whose wheels became entangled together, and on whose close-packed mattresses and pillows all sorts of diseases were gathered pell-mell.
Branicki, who was dressed in a magnificent gown and supported by pillows and cushions, greeted me by taking off his nightcap. He was as pale as death. "I have come here, my lord," I began, "to offer you my service, and to assure you how I regret that I did not pass over a few trifling words of yours." "You have no reason to reproach yourself, M.

The paroxysm did not last long, and in that fact most poignantly did Dinah realize the waning strength. Dumbly she stood and watched Biddy lay the inanimate figure back upon the pillows. Isabel had sunk into a state of exhaustion that was almost torpor. "She'll sleep now, dear lamb," said Biddy, and tenderly covered her over as though she had been a child.
The fast mare had to trot very gently, and the old master would stop and adjust the pillows from time to time, and administer the restoratives which the physician had got ready, all as naturally and easily as if he had been bred a nurse, vastly to his own surprise, and with not a little gain to his self-appreciation.

A few hours later, news was received at Versailles that fighting was going on towards the south of Paris between French troops and the Prussians; and all the inhabitants, including foreign residents, were busy in preparing supplies for the field-hospitals, lint, bandages, water-cans, and pillows stuffed with torn paper. Before long, eight Prussians and an officer entered the city.

Every once in a while he would eat so much that a button would pop off. He was eating apples now. One, two, three, four, five, he ate. He did not offer one to his friends, not even the core! Another apple he took.
Then Traverse subdued the light in the sick chamber, arranged the pillows of the couch, administered a sedative and took up his post beside the bed, where he continued to watch and nurse the patient with unwearied devotion. At the dawn of day, when Clara rapped at the door, he was in no condition to be seen by his daughter. Clara was put off with some plausible excuse.
