He walked there and back with some difficulty, but seemed fairly well.

Only I thought he had suddenly aged in face, and remarked to Reggie next day how different he looked when up and dressed.

He appeared _comparatively_ well in bed.

(I noticed for the first time that his hair was slightly tinged with grey.
I had always remarked that his hair had never altered its colour while he was in Reading;[60] it retained its soft brown tone.

You must remember the jests he used to make about it, he always amused the warders by saying that his hair was perfectly white.) Next day I was not surprised to find Oscar suffering with a cold and great pain in his ear; however, Dr.Tucker said he might go out again, and the following afternoon, a very mild day, we drove in the Bois.
