[The Morgesons by Elizabeth Stoddard]@TWC D-Link bookThe Morgesons CHAPTER XIX 9/20
Creeping into bed, I perceived the odor of flowers, and looking at my table discovered a bunch of white roses. "Roses are nonsense, and life is nonsense," I thought. When I opened my eyes, Alice was standing by the bed, with a glass of roses in her hand. "Charles put these roses here, hey ?" "I suppose so; throw them out of the window, and me too; my head is splitting." "To make amends for not giving you any last night," she went on; "he is quite childish." "Can't you unbraid my hair, it hurts my head so ?" She felt my hands.
I was in a fever, she said, and ran down for Charles.
"Cass is sick, in spite of your white roses." "The devil take the roses.
Can't you get up, Cassandra ?" "Not now.
Go away, will you ?" He left the room abruptly.
