docther; an' thare's no praste to absolve mi. Will yez be
afther givin' mi somethin' to aze mi, docther?"
Here another violent retching spell occurred, after which
Jinmmy exclailmed, "D'ye say that now, docther? I'm a did
mon; in liss thin tin minnits I'll be a corps; and may the
blissid Vargin recave mi sowl, for there's no praste to
absolve me at all, at all."
The doctor here requested Jimmy to talk less, while he
proceeded to examine him; and then, calling me to see
him, he informed me, with a very grave face, that Jimmy

Kneeling, by his side, I commenced an examination, and
found him looking pale, and evidently very much frightened
at what he seemed to consider the near approach of the Kiing
of Terrors. After a few moments I remarked, "Jimmy, I
think you must have eaten too much."
