"But I am saying that the Lord will be honored in you yet." "Indeed, there is not much for me," said his brother, gloomily, "but the sick-bed and six feet or more of the damp earth." "Hugh, man," said his brother, hastily, "you must not be talking like that. It is not the speech of a brave man. It is the speech of a man that is beaten in his fight."
As the days went on, the emptiness in the house became to him like that of the grave, and he learned presently that the peevish and exacting old lady who had not stirred for years from her sick-bed had left a vacancy larger than all the rest of them could fill. Cynthia, who had borne most of the burden, began now to bear, in its place, the heavier share of the loss.
'All may be repaired, replied the doctor: 'if you will promise to nurse the invalid, I will answer for her recovery. In fact, Mme G never left the sick-bed of Mlle d'Orbe. The doctor visited her twice in the day, and their united care soon restored the health of the interesting artist.
Whenever the too well-known depression and craving threatened her, she would seek a refuge in what had always been her purest enjoyment in visiting one of her poor neighbours, in carrying some food or comfort to a sick-bed, in cheering with her smile some of the familiar dwellings up the dingy back-lanes.
But his departure seemed to remove from them all restraints, and Spaniards and Peruvians alike were whelmed in a common ruin. No account has been transmitted to us of De Soto's return voyage. While he was in Peru, Don Pedro had died. His sick-bed was a scene of lingering agony, both of body and of mind.

"At any rate, he is practising the fifth under difficulties at this moment," said Marston, as Charles winced and turned his back on the parental sick-bed. "Come, my boy, we are losing time."
'Think of that poor fellow O'Shea, just rising from a sick-bed, said Dick, as his voice shook with agitation. 'They can't hang him. 'No, for the scoundrel Gill is alive, and will be the chief witness on the trial; but they may give him two years with prison labour, and if they do, it will kill him. 'I don't know that. I've seen more than one fellow come out fresh and hearty after a spell.
She rose from her sick-bed to depose how she had opened her window, and had seen the actual death of the unfortunate man, whom she little guessed was her husband. The burglar as she reasonably took him to be was running down the path when she first caught sight of him, and after the first shot had been fired.
His mother, who had visited her exiled son almost daily, had then called on her, bearing two important pieces of news one being that after hours of pleading Harry had consented to return to Moorlands and beg his father's pardon, provided that irate gentleman should send for him, and the other the recounting of a message of condolence and sympathy which Willits had sent Harry from his sick-bed, in which he admitted that he had been greatly to blame.
Zeena seemed to understand his case at a glance. She laughed at him for not knowing the simplest sick-bed duties and told him to "go right along out" and leave her to see to things. The mere fact of obeying her orders, of feeling free to go about his business again and talk with other men, restored his shaken balance and magnified his sense of what he owed her.
