"I've been through a good deal lately; and sometimes it ketches me round the heart like a pain." In his life of selfish immunity from grief, Beaton could not understand this experience that poignant sorrow brings; he said to himself that Dryfoos was going the way of angina pectoris; as he began shuffling off the tiger-skin he said: "Had you better get up? Wouldn't you like me to call a doctor?"

That is of great inconvenience. But I think it is the false one, that is much less grave not truly dangerous, hein?" "My dear sir," answered Carmichael, "who can tell the difference between a false and a true angina pectoris, except by a post-mortem? The symptoms are much alike, the result is sometimes identical, if the paroxysm is severe enough. But in this case I hope that you may be right.

"Angina Pectoris?" he questioned anxiously. "No." A sigh of relief escaped him. Quoth Dr. Buisson: "You have already sighed a great deal too much. You have overtaxed your strength. You must not live on passion, but you ought to take life more easily, young man. Rest and cheerfulness, with a few bottles of physic, will put you on your legs again. Stimulants would benefit you."

"I remember the case," Katharine continued, "appendicitis, followed by pneumonia, and complicated by angina pectoris." "You have it precisely." Katharine's eyes were full of perplexity. "But the man is in very poor circumstances," she remarked. "How on earth can he afford a trip like this? He was on the free list at the hospital." The doctor frowned. "That is not my business," he said.

"Judging superficially I made no thorough examination," Stone explained parenthetically, "I should say that Mr. Rochester was right when he stated that Turnbull died from an acute attack of angina pectoris." "How did Mr. Rochester come to make that assertion and where?" "Immediately after Turnbull's death," replied Stone. "Mr. Rochester, who shared his apartment, defended him in court. Mr.

I ask you to have this in mind while you hear me." Her dark face was intent upon him while he spoke. "What do you call this disease?" she asked. "The doctors call it angina pectoris," he answered.

Cyprian, in a beautiful passage on envy, calls it 'the moth of the soul: but perhaps, even that passion is less gnawing, less a 'tabes pectoris, than ambition. You are surprised at my heat the fact is, I am enraged at thinking how much we forfeit, when we look up only, and trample unconsciously, in the blindness of our aspiration, on the affections which strew our path.

Upon the evidence submitted Judge Mackall held the prisoner for trial by the grand jury. "It was just after the Judge's announcement that 'John Smith, then sitting in the prisoners cage, was seized with the attack of angina pectoris which ended so fatally a few minutes later.

The paroxysms of angina pectoris became more frequent and daily left their victim less able to rally. Patience strained to the uttermost by physical suffering, the mind distressed, fits of despondency and of indescribable gloom, the weight of a body of death all this he had borne for sixteen years, with only occasional intervals of peace. There was little left to suffer except death.

"Will there be an inquest?" she asked. "That's for the coroner to decide," responded Ferguson. "As long as Mr. Turnbull entered your house on a wager and died from an attack of angina pectoris the inquest is likely to be a mere formality.
