With Wolfe in Canada

CHAPTER 6: A Storm
26/38

A very little more, and it would have been a case of brain fever, but I trust now that it will soon pass off.

The sedatives that have been administered are taking effect, and I trust she will soon fall asleep.
"As you requested, I have made my arrangements for staying here tonight, and I trust that, by the morning, we shall have her convalescent." Mr.Wilks had gone down, the first thing in the morning, to see James, and found him up and about as usual.

He was very greatly concerned, at hearing that Aggie had passed a bad night, and came four times up to the Hall, during the day, to inquire about her; and on his last visit, late in the evening, he was told that she was sleeping quietly, and that the doctor had every hope that she would wake, in the morning, free from fever.

This proved to be the case; but she was ordered to keep her bed for a day or two.
On the morning after the storm, the wind had gone down much, although a tremendous sea was still breaking on the shore.

Messages arrived, in the course of the day, to say that all the missing boats, with one exception, had succeeded in gaining the shore before the storm was full on.
