Henry M. Jewett, we were destined to spend several weeks; for a day or two after our arrival, one of us was taken with a slight attack of typhoid fever, supposed to have been contracted by drinking from the roadside streams. No better place could have been chosen for such a mishap; for recovery was speedy in such comfortable quarters, under the care of the missionary ladies.
He had fallen asleep then and after his recovery he had not alluded to the matter again. I had forgotten it, but I recalled it now as I sat on the steps among the geraniums that June evening. I liked to think of Margaret ... the lovely girl who had died so long ago, taking her lover's heart with her to the grave.
She had exchanged but few words with the physician, who was still unceasingly busy in trying to restore his patient to consciousness, and who had assured her that he had every hope of her father's recovery. But at length the girl looked up with an eager gaze and said, sadly enough: "You said something about an antidote to poison, Apuleius?
Look at things again as thou didst use to look at them; for in this consists the recovery of thy life.

I have it from Bland himself; and, Dulce," and here he hesitates, as if uncertain whether he ought to proceed or not, "now it is all right, you know, and and that and when we have heard he is on the safe road to recovery, it can't be any harm to say what is on my mind, can it?" "No; I suppose not," says Dulce, blushing vividly.
Let me alone I am very well as I am." "Nay," said I, "this situation is unsuitable to a sick man. I only ask you to come into my house, and receive all the kindness that it is in our power to bestow. Pluck up courage, and I will answer for your recovery, provided you submit to directions, and do as we would have you. Rise, and come along with me.
More than an hour elapsed before either sister re-entered Henry's room events on the ground-floor had been rather exciting and then they appeared together, bearing a bird, and some mince-tarts on a plate, and a card. Henry was wide awake. 'This is a surprise, dear, began Mrs. Knight. 'Just listen: "With Sir George Powell's hearty greetings and best wishes for a speedy recovery!"
