Here Mrs. McNab interposed in tones somewhat loud and irate.
"Now, Mr. Doobyce", said she, "if you and this pusson will just carry the patient up stairs, and place him on the bed, that's a' ye need do. I'll tak' care o' him".

"Sir", said Mr. Norton, "I observed awhile ago, that his mind was quite wandering. He is greatly excited by fever, but I succeeded in quieting him once and perhaps may be able to do so again".
"I hope not", said the good man, "He is not himself now, and is not aware what he is saying. His fever causes his mind to wander".
Mr. Brown's face had lost its pallid hue and was now overspread with the fiery glow of fever.

"Permit me the privilege of watching by the gentleman's bed to-night", said Mr. Norton, turning to Mr. Dubois.

Mr. Norton knelt down by the couch and made slow, soothing motions with his hand upon the hot and fevered head, until the sick man sank again into slumber.
