Billy's arms were crossed on his breast and his right hand caressed his chin meditatively. By and bye, "I wonder, now," he reflected, aloud, "if you can give any reason any possible reason why you shouldn't be locked up in the nearest sanatorium?" "You needn't be rude, you know," a voice observed from the neighbourhood of the ruffles, "because there isn't anything you can do about it." Mr.
Royan Island had not only been made a depôt of stores, but a sanatorium where sick officers and men were sent as a "pick 'em up." An order from the Sirdar on the 30th of August was wired to Royan, to find 235 men and 8 officers who were well enough to man the gunboats, to be in short amateur marines. At that date there were 327 sick upon the island.
Then suddenly she laughed. "Oh, Ruth, Ruth, I'd like to give you a dose of Pollyanna. I don't know any one who needs it more!" Mrs. Carew stiffened a little. "Well, what pollyanna may be I don't know, but whatever it is, I don't want it," she retorted sharply, nettled in her turn. "This isn't your beloved Sanatorium, and I'm not your patient to be dosed and bossed, please remember."
I hadn't noticed anything strange in his manner, although we'd all noticed how feeble he was growing, but when he got up to go back to the sanatorium and I reached him his cane, it seemed to me he avoided looking at me. He went to the door and then turned and spoke to me over his shoulder. "By the way," he remarked, "Mr. Richard will be along in a day or so, Minnie. You'd better break it to Mrs.
I lost two of my oldest children from the same disease, one at 16 and the other at 23. The youngest of them all, a sweet girl of nineteen, now lies at sanatorium expecting to leave us at any time. The other sister and brother look very poorly. "I have always worked very hard, because I had to.
I'll stay at the sanatorium tonight, and then, perhaps, I'll know a little better what we can do." It was his tone rather than his words which gave me the impression that he was more interested in being with Miss Giles than with Mrs. Cranston. I wondered whether it was a plot of Cranston's and Miss Giles's. Had he been posing before Kennedy, and were they really trying to put Mrs.
And he made a speech which for expressive briefness surpasses anything I've ever heard, before or since: "'There! he declared his triumph. 'There! And now I guess I've showed 'em no sanatorium could ever cure me!" But Garry did not laugh. His smile was mirthlessly sardonic. "Then why the devil have you tried to keep me up here?"
But he had a very considerable respect for Herr Doktor Meyers a rank plebeian but the best doctor in Berlin and when that family adviser, as autocratic as himself, ordered the Frau Gräfin to go to a sanatorium in the Austrian Dolomites but alone, mind you! and remain as long as he I, myself, Herr Graf! deemed advisable, with no intercourse, personal or chirographical with her family, the Head of the House of Niebuhr angrily gave his consent and sent for a sister to chaperon his girls.
He and Mr. von Inwald limped across the tennis-court and collapsed on the steps of the spring-house while the others went on to the sanatorium. I had been brushing the porch, and I leaned on my broom and looked at them. "You're both looking a lot better," I said. "Not so well, not so beer-y. How do you like it by this time?" "Fine!" answered Mr. Thoburn. "Wouldn't stay if I didn't like it."
There will be no lack of diversion in an Alpine sanatorium. The place is half English, to be sure, the local sheet appearing in double column, text and translation; but it still remains half German; and hence we have a band which is able to play, and a company of actors able, as you will be told, to act.
