Anyhow, half an hour ago I seemed to come out of a stupor, my head fairly splitting, and my stomach burning as though I'd taken poison.
"That was a kind of a sickish jolt to me the idea that something as low in the animal kingdom as Wilbur could baffle anyone but I thinks, 'Shucks!

He still choked on words of one syllable if Nettie so much as glanced at him, and turned all sorts of painful colours like a cheap rug.
His mouth was pulled into a certain bitter understanding; indeed, he looked exactly as if Billy Louise had dealt him a deliberate affront which he could neither parry nor fling back at her, but must endure with what stoicism he might. Billy Louise blushed guiltily, took an unpremeditated swallow of tea, and grimaced over the sickish sweetness of it.
But a few steps farther on he touched Fair's arm. "Let's go slower." His smile was ashen. "I h I don't know why in the devil I have these sickish feelings come on me at f-funerals." They stopped.

The man again worked the instrument which was like a small air pump, taking care not to get his own face too near it. Presently he stopped and listened. "They're doped," he murmured.
Howbeit, the atmosphere was a little faint and sickish, perhaps owing to the odor of the half-tepid water. The most remarkable object here was the trunk of a tree, huge beyond imagination, a pine-tree from California.
"I want you to help me pry off the knocker, as I have no screw-driver to remove it. I will pay you well." As he spoke he came nearer to Mark, and the lad noticed that the man's right hand was held behind his back. This struck Mark as rather suspicious.
