She lay so several hours
ugg boots discount outlet for the drowse deepened into a heavysleep, and Uncle Alec, still at his post, saw with growing anxietythat a feverish colour began to burn in her cheeks, that herbreathing was quick and uneven, and now and then she gave alittle moan, as if in pain. Suddenly she woke up with a start, andseeing Aunt Plenty bending over her, put out her arms like a sickchild, saying wearily"Please, could I go to bed?""The best place for you,

"Are you in pain, darling?" asked Uncle Alec, as he carried her up.
"My side aches when I breathe, and I feel stiff and queer; but itisn't

But the poor doctor did look troubled, and had cause to do so, forjust then Rose tried to laugh at Dolly charging into the room with awarming-pan, but could not, for the sharp pain took her breathaway and made her cry out.
"Pleurisy," sighed Aunt Plenty, from the depths of the bath-tub.

"Oh, is it bad?" asked Phebe, nearly dropping a pail of hot water inher dismay, for she knew nothing of sickness, and Dolly'ssuggestion had a peculiarly dreadful sound to her.

"Make her as comfortable as you can, and when she is in her littlebed I'll

"I thought it would be too good luck to get through the yearwithout a downfall. Confound my perversity! Why
discount uggs for women couldn't I takeMyra's advice and keep Rose at home. It's not fair that the poorchild should suffer for my sinful over-confidence. She shall notsuffer for it!
