Having refreshed myself, taking observations of the elephant's spasms and writhings between the sips, I resolved to make experiments on vulnerable points, and, approaching very near, I fired several bullets at different parts of his enormous skull.
"I will go out now and call somebody," she said; "there Mrs. Hill and Peggy Sullivan, if she ain't drunk. Either of them will come!" And a few moments later the room was filled with the rude neighbors. They did not think it necessary to call a coroner. She had been ailing for a long time. Heart complaint, the physician said and she had probably died in one of those spasms to which she was subject.
Refusal of food, refusal of sleep, negativism, irritability, and violent fits of temper, vomiting, diarrhoea, morbid flushing and blushing, habit spasms, phobias all controlled not by reproof or by medicine, but by good management and a clear understanding of their nature. The hygiene of the child's mind is as important as the hygiene of his body, and both are studies proper for the doctor.
Once more, and this time thoroughly, Jasper's hideous levity and coarse bravado gave way before the lingering human sentiment knitting him back to childhood, which the sight and voice of his injured father had called forth with spasms and throes, as a seer calls the long-buried from a grave.
