signature.

cloak. You can take your turn now at beinga nurse again.
Somecolour crept into his cheeks as he slept. The
oldsilk cloak rustled eerily when he moved, and smelt mouldy. But a not too

sparks into thetinder box.
The doctors examination disclosed no broken
bones.
Only the cook, who had nointerest in that art any

Itsargint, he called as he passed through the door
with Anthony.
The language was Protestant and fromnorth of the
Tweed. Hemuttered about it to himself; talked as though in his sleep.
