The fever came and went, and came and went, and lasted five days, and the sixth he was sensible for a few minutes, and said to me, knowing me very well, 'I'm in a burning pain all withinside of me, Thady. I could not speak, but my shister asked him would he have this thing or t'other to do him good?
