It's stealin', and it's the wust kind of stealin', 'cause it ain't out an' out. I had a boy once about your size." "Where's he now?" asked Eddy, in a half-resentful, half-wondering fashion. "He's dead; died years ago of scarlet-fever, and I'd a good deal rather have it so, much as I thought of him as much as your father thinks of you than to have him grow up and steal and cheat folks."
Little Samantha Joe wus better: it only proved to be a hard cold that ailed her. But the boy had the scarlet-fever, so the doctor said. And he grew worse fast. He didn't know me at all when I got home, but wus a talkin' fast about his mamma Cicely; and he asked me "If the gate had swung down, for him to go through into the City, and if his mamma was inside, reachin' out her arms to him?"
They ought to either pave that village or organize a ferry. Harris's body was simply a chamois-pasture; his person was populous with the little hungry pests; his skin, when he stripped, was splotched like a scarlet-fever patient's; so, when we were about to enter one of the Leukerbad inns, and he noticed its sign, "Chamois Hotel," he refused to stop there.
'Willie Turner! said Elizabeth; 'oh! the apothecary's daughter, Wilhelmina. You must have heard of Mr. Turner. Rupert has made a standing joke of him, ever since the scarlet-fever. 'Oh yes! said Anne, 'I know Mr. Turner's name very well; but I never knew that Miss Turner was a friend of Kate's.
Irene lived in a very queer way with one gigantic maid, who, but for her sex, might have been in the Guards. "Ill. I suspect scarlet-fever," said Irene. "Very infectious, isn't it? I was up nursing her all last night." Miss Mapp recoiled. She did not share Major Flint's robust views about microbes. "But I hope, dear, you've thoroughly disinfected " "Oh, yes. Soap and water," said Irene.
One by one the expected guests presented themselves and were admitted: Major Flint and Captain Puffin, the Padre and his wife, darling Diva with her head muffled in a "cloud," and finally Irene, still dressed as she had been in the morning, and probably reeking with scarlet-fever.
The second pupil who became a factor a very considerable factor in Bell's career was a fifteen-year-old girl named Mabel Hubbard, who had lost her hearing, and consequently her speech, through an attack of scarlet-fever when a baby.
When I spoke to him of Andy, I was made aware that I was inquiring into a case of scarlet-fever that had occurred the year before! It was at this time, towards the end of my second week at Greenton, that I noticed what was probably not a new trait Mr. Jaffrey's curious sensitiveness to atmospherical changes. He was as sensitive as a barometer.
Though hooping-cough is undoubtedly very contagious, it seems to be communicated only by the breath, and there is absolutely no evidence to show that the clothes of a child suffering from hooping-cough can carry the infection as they might were the child suffering from measles, or smallpox, or scarlet-fever; still less that a person who has visited a room where children are suffering from hooping-cough can convey the disease to another house, or to other children.
Lovel, a gentleman who, during the scarlet-fever which is epidemic at present in this our island, has the virtue and decency to appear in a coat of a civil complexion. You see, however, that the fashionable colour has mustered in his cheeks which appears not in his garments.
