Ring up that d d doctor again, and if he can't come ring up Dr. Plott at once." "Yes, sir. Yes, sir." He rushed back into the bedroom, discovered Eve's smelling-salts, and held them to her nose. Already the blood was mounting again. "Well, she's not dead, anyway!" he said to himself grimly. He could see the blood gently mounting, mounting. It was a wonderful, a mysterious and a reassuring sight.
He bowed her to the door with an obstinate politeness, and consigned her to the care of the landlady and her maid. What horse was that which galloped out of the inn-yard ten minutes after Lady Maria had gone to her chamber? An hour after her departure from their supper-room, Mrs. Betty came in for her lady's bottle of smelling-salts, and found Parson Sampson smoking a pipe alone. Mr.
No man can be brave without blood to sustain his courage, any more than he can think, as the German materialist says, not absurdly, without phosphorus. The fainting lover must recover his circulation, or his lady will lend him her smelling-salts and take a gallant with blood in his cheeks.
Some of the fungi, for example, appear to need higher compounds to start with; and no known plant can live upon the uncompounded elements of protoplasm.

Oh, I promise you, Pierre, you have done finely for us all!"

The thought of Patty rushed over him like the wind at dawn or the light of the sunrise. There was deliverance; there was freedom of spirit! She was the impulse he dared not follow, the risk he dared not take, the red flower he dared not wear. "What lovely eyes Miss Vetch has," Margaret was saying. "Don't you think so, Cousin Harriet?" Mrs. Culpeper sniffed at her bottle of smelling-salts.
He walked to Kay's through the rain with the cup under his mackintosh, and freely admitted to himself that there were things in heaven and earth and particularly earth which no fellow could understand. "I don't know," he said, when Kennedy pressed for an explanation of the reappearance of the cup. "It's no good asking me. I'm going now to borrow the matron's smelling-salts: I feel faint.
