The death was, of course, attributed to syncope, but my friend who, by the way, had never heard of Hugesson before he received the foregoing account through the medium of planchette told me, and I agreed with him, that from similar cases that had come within his experience, it was most probable that Hugesson had in reality projected himself, and had perished in the manner described.
Presently he noticed the other looking at him anxiously. "You are afraid, sir? You are not going back from your promise?" That dispersed the cloud a little, and Percy smiled. "Oh! no," he said. "I will be there at twenty-two o'clock. ... Is death imminent?" "No, sir; it is syncope. She is recovered a little this morning." The priest passed his hand over his eyes and stood up.
Did a bull gore a man, Mr Cophagus appeared with his diachylon and lint. Did an ox frighten a lady, it was in the back parlour of Mr Cophagus that she was recovered from her syncope. Market days were a sure market to my master; and if an overdriven beast knocked down others, it only helped to set him on his legs.
The tympanum of the ear also seems to require a voluntary exertion of its muscles, to gain its due tension, and it is probable the other external organs of sense require a similar voluntary exertion to adapt them to the distinct perception of objects. Hence in syncope as in sleep, as the power of volition is suspended, no external objects are perceived. See Sect.
I could work now if I had food, for my sight would get better." Dr. G. P. Walker said deceased died from syncope, from exhaustion from want of food. The deceased had had no bedclothes.

Janice had risen, half in fright and half in courtesy; but the cry she uttered, even as the inquiry was put, was significant of something more than either. "Well," went on the questioner, "art struck with a syncope that thou dost nothing but gape and stare at me?" "I beg your pardon," faltered the girl. "I recognised that is I mean, 't was thy painting that " "Malapert!" shrieked the woman.
It was town-and-alley, this age; and though the fields lay daily in their new creation with sun and shadow on them, together with the minstrelsy of the winds across them and the still pipings of leaf and water, London, the while, kept herself in her smudgy convent, her ear tuned only to the jolting music of her streets, the rough syncope of wheel and voice.
He threw his bloody sword on the ground, and hastened to kneel and support him, vainly striving, at the same time, to stanch his wound, which seemed rather to bleed inwardly than externally.
