From Boston, we came here in our own carriage.

Before leaving home, Blanche went around to see a number of poor cottagers in our neighbourhood, and there was sickness at several of the places where she called.

In one cottage, particularly, was a case of low fever.

I was troubled when I learned that she had been there, but still hoped that her excellent state of health would repel anything like contagion.

During the first part of our voyage, she suffered considerably from sea-sickness; but got along very well after that.
