They presented their case as earnestly as possible, and, besides his fitness for the place, they urged that he was in bad health and a residence in that balmy climate would be of great benefit to him. The President closed the interview with the good-humored remark: "Gentlemen, I am sorry to say that there are eight other applicants for that place, and they are all sicker than your man."
He pulled a rocking-chair to the window, tried to smoke a cigar. It commenced to make him feel still sicker, and he flung it away. It seemed to him the cabin was swaying, as the San Marco swayed when she first reached the deep water. A light rustling sound approached, a sound of quick feet treading the grass: then a shadow slanted over the threshold.
"Finding your old State campaign sicker than you thought for, hey, Luke?" He was now as Presson had always known him, but the little man did not seem to be consoled thereby. "I'd like to know what's come over you to-day?" he complained. "Giving a helpless little girl hell-an'-repeat, and then standing for what you did back there right now!"
Next that comes will be the shaps of my twos I mean the taps of my shoes!" "It's Rattles!" laughed Frank, softly; "and he is sicker than ever. He's tried to crawl out to get some air." At this moment a man opened the door near Rattleton, and asked: "Is the ah er moon up yet?" "I don't know," moaned Harry. "But it is if I swallowed it. Everything else is up, anyhow."
Well, and we got to talking, and she told me about her husband's death, he was a surveyor, and a pretty clever man, I guess. Poor thing, she burst right out crying " "And you kept feeling sicker and sicker, Ma." "I began to feel worse and worse, yes. And at about four o'clock I sent Ceely, you remember Ceely, Mary Lou! for the doctor. She was getting dinner everything was upset!"
They shake their heads and use long words they know they can't do you any good, but they want their big fees! And all they do is to frighten you worse, and make you sicker than ever!" There was nothing that Montague could do save to sit and listen to this outburst of wretchedness. His attempts to soothe the old man only had the effect of exciting him more.
But it was in vain that he threw himself passionately, persistently, without reserve, into his work; he succeeded only in fatiguing his body and his mind, without even being able to fix his thoughts or to put his heart into his work, every day sicker and more despairing. Had work, then, finally lost its power?
"At any rate, come back here in a year, and if your cackling Pythia and this little leaf tell the truth, and I am permitted to bring it to you without support or crutch, I'll give you a stout piece of cloth for a new cloak; yet nay, better try your luck in six months, for your chiton looks sicker than I, and will hardly last a whole year." "Not half a one," replied the conjurer, with a sly smile.
Melanctha's mother never liked her daughter any better. She never said much, did 'Mis' Herbert, but anybody could see that she did not think much of this daughter. Dr. Campbell now often had to stay a long time to take care of 'Mis' Herbert. One day 'Mis' Herbert was much sicker and Dr. Campbell thought that this night, she would surely die.
Then there was a letter to his mother. It was longer than the letter to his father and in it Sol said that he was just sick for the sea and that, if he stayed on the farm, he knew he should get sicker and die. The farm was a beautiful farm, but farms were not for him for many years yet. He would rather plough the ocean than plough the earth.
