What she saw would not have disturbed her if she had not been overstrung by long anxiety.
It was about Fay that I wanted to speak to you. This time I thought surely I'd die, and I was worried about Fay. Well, I'll be around all right shortly, but my strength's gone and I won't live long. So I may as well speak now. You remember you've been asking me to let you take Fay and bring her up as your daughter?" "Indeed yes, I remember. I'll be happy to have her. But I hope the day "
Thacher, trying to smile; "but I've been distressed about her lately, night and day. I thought perhaps I might see you going by. She's gettin' to be a great girl, doctor, and I ain't fit to cope with her. I find my strength's a-goin', and I'm old before my time; all my folks was rugged and sound long past my age, but I've had my troubles you don't need I should tell you that!
Did he know you?" Rody was as white in the face as a sheet. "Let me alone," he replied; "the conjurer above is the devil, and nothin' else.

But I'll drop soon. My strength's going. If I die you ride back to the main trail. Hide and rest by day. Ride at night. That trail goes to water.
Her cheeks were so puffed, the skin of her forehead was so tight and shiny, that she looked precisely like a monster copy of a sanitary rubber doll! "She can't last much longer! Her strength's giving out." It was the Policeman. And his voice ended in a sob. "She must have help!" this the Man-Who-Makes-Faces. His voice broke, too.
