Yet it gives you rest; your sorrows are not like mine, there is no rest for me. I cannot go and gather that balm of Gilead, I have no legs. I have as good as none. This wheel-chair and that dog of a turnkey are not the equipage for such a journey. Ah, do not turn from me now! My railing is worse than my cursing, you feel indeed.
He did not regard them; he paid no attention even to their quarrel; he had eyes only for Natacha, who just now quit her place beside her father's wheel-chair and passed by them with a little nod of the head, seeming in haste to retrace the way back to the villa. "Are you leaving us?" Boris demanded of her. "Oh, I will rejoin you immediately. I have forgotten my umbrella."
I know a little, and your face tells me a good deal more, about how your spirit has rebelled and how you have battled with it and won the victory. You haven't found it easy to be a prisoner in a wheel-chair!" "Indeed, I have not!" She bent her thin, humped and crooked body forward with fresh energy and a spark of the spirit she had conquered flashed out again in her dark eyes and tired face.
He wished to go to church, and I determined that again I would subdue my curiosity and defer the questions I was burning to put till after our return from the morning service. Miss Maltravers had gone indoors to make some preparation, Sir John was in his wheel-chair on the terrace, and I was sitting by him in the sun.
Irene each morning rode down to the shop in the Hathaway automobile wheel-chair and all and acted as cashier, so as to relieve the others of this duty. She could accomplish this work very nicely and became the Liberty Girls' treasurer and financial adviser. Each day she deposited in the bank the money received, and the amounts were so liberal that enthusiasm was easily maintained.
He talked and acted, if a moveless man can be said to act, like a bored, spoiled small boy. That was her second. Mrs. Harrington, fragile, flushed, breathlessly intense in her wheel-chair, had yet a certain resemblance in voice and gesture to Mrs. De Guenther a resemblance which puzzled Phyllis till she placed it as the mark of that far-off ladies' school they had attended together.
But this answer did not seem to suit Allan, for some reason. Phyllis said no more about the masseur. She only decided to summon him, any way. And presently Wallis came in and turned all the lights on. In due course of time June came. So did the masseur, and more flowered frocks for Phyllis, and the wheel-chair for Allan.
Now, talking with the young matrons of her own set, she learned that this man had married, and had since had to take to a wheel-chair, while his wife had borne a child with a monstrous deformed head, and had died of the ordeal and the shock. Oh, the stories that one uncovered right in one's own town, among one's own set like foul sewers underneath the pavements!
Sir Reginald a fine-looking old man, the whiteness of whose silvery locks, secured behind a well-tied pig-tail, was increased by the hair-powder which besprinkled them sat at the foot of the table in the wheel-chair used by him to move from room to room.
She ought to take all the rubbish off, and go as we do; then she would look something like a respectable barbel, so far as it is possible for a person to look like one!" "What's become of that one whom they drew away with the hook? He sat on a wheel-chair, and had paper, and pen, and ink, and wrote down everything. They called him a 'writer."
