"Poor little thing!" said Annorah; "ye're pale as a lily. Is there a dhrap o' anything ye would like, and then slape a bit?" "I will try to sleep." "But ye cannot kape still. The pain is shure too great. Let me carry you about a little." "No, no; it would tire you," said Annie, who in her spasm of pain really longed for so novel a method of changing her position.
Ye'll not slape, and ye'll not warm up. Look at ye now. You've an ague." "I was sick at Limerick wan night," O'Brien hurried on, "an' the dochtor cudn't bleed me. But after slapin' a few hours an' gettin' warm in bed the blood came freely. It's God's truth I'm tellin' yez. Don't be murderin' me!" "His veins are open now," the captain said.
