Is this job very tiring, for if it is, I doubt I may buckle up. He looked thoughtful. 'I can't call our business an absolute rest-cure any time. You've got to keep your eyes skinned, and there's always the risk of the little packet of dynamite going off unexpected. But as these things go, I rate this stunt as easy. We've only got to be natural.
To whet my appetite for Egypt now, I have to have something tasty. Where's the good of stuffing my mind with a string of names which I couldn't mention to any one at home, because I can't pronounce them? Luckily I feel that nobody else will know any more than I do. I'm coming to Egypt for a rest-cure, because I don't have to learn its history. But some lecturers won't let me have a minute's peace.
But the rest-cure which the neurologist prescribed was certainly unique. It may have been wrongly named. Mr. van der Veere was a man of unusually strong physique. Nature had equipped him with a muscular system better than nine-tenths of his fellowmen possess, but he had never utilized it. For many generations his forbears had wrung food and life and, unconsciously, health from the soil.
But she noticed that the singing voice was heard less and less frequently about the house and grounds. Octavius also noticed it, and missed it. "Aileen, you don't sing as much as you did a while ago what's the matter?" he asked her one day in October when she joined him to go up street after supper on an errand. "Matter? I've sung out for one while; I'm taking a rest-cure with my voice, Tave."
So often had he done this that generally he did it without difficulty; and though he never fell asleep in daylight, he came out of this short rest-cure refreshed as after two hours of slumber. But to-day, though he could command his body, his mind was wilful. He could not clear it of the restless thoughts.
"Well, I can't say that I feel exactly hilarious about it, you know." There fell a brief silence, in which the crackling of the large new coal became noticeable. "Duty is a hard word, Miss Heth," said Canning. "A thousand times I've wished that I wasn't an only son my family's one hopeful. But I am, alas.... And hence the little rest-cure...." "Yes, it's hard," she answered.
The rondy was hardly a spot to which one would have resorted for a rest-cure. When not engaged in pressing, the gangsmen were a roistering, drinking crew, under lax control and never averse from a row, either amongst themselves or with outsiders. Sometimes the commanding officer made the place his residence, and when this was the case some sort of order prevailed.
Apart from this trifling handicap and the fact that we should have to travel fourteen miles a day for water, the place seemed an ideal one for a rest-cure. Considering that we had been incessantly on the move for the past five months the time for a "stand-easy" was about due. We prepared everything to that desirable end.
Your rest-cure will consist primarily in being set free, for a time, from Lady Ingleby's position, predicament, and perplexities. You must send word to all intimate friends, telling them you are going into retreat, and they must not write until they hear again. You will have leave to write one letter a week, to one person only; and that person must be one of whom I can approve.
Other distressing internal symptoms appeared closely following the shock of her mother's sudden paralysis. An operation and a month in a northern hospital were followed by comparative relief. But her nervous symptoms finally became acute and she was spending the spring and early summer on rest-cure in a sanitarium when her parents died. The Jacksonville home was then closed.
