In most of the actions of the human being, the physical state of the person at the time is the principal factor, and May's whole physical frame, violently over-strained, craved for rest rest that the excited brain could not give. Rest was the urgent demand pressed by the breaking nervous system, and from these two thoughts rest, oblivion grew the dangerous thought of Death.
Do not allow your nerves to be over-strained by the asthmatic respiration. It gives you more pain than it gives to Davy." "Do you suffer, Davy?" "Yes, sir." "Ah, well, he does not know what we mean. Get him to take the medicine, Mr. Lockwin. It is your duty." Duty! Alas! Is not David Lockwin responding to both love and duty already? Is it not a response such as he did not believe he could make?
It was well for Susy that her over-strained feelings now found vent in words and tears. "There is no grief like the grief which does not speak." Her dumb agony gave way, and she wept and raved like a little wild thing. Mrs.

He found matters in the Pearl-Street counting-house again apparently something out of joint, but with a less smiling and sunny atmosphere pervading them than he had remarked on his last visit. He was received by M. M. with courtesy, a little over-strained, perhaps, and not as flowing and gracious as at their first interview. Preliminaries over, Mr.
