Jack made me put on his coat, but it made very little difference.

The form I was on actually shook with my shivering.

Mr Hashford, good soul that he was, lent me his own waistcoat, and suggested that if we all three sat close together--I in the middle--I might get warmer.

We tried it, and when at six o'clock that same eventful morning the servant came to sweep the room she found us all three huddled together--two of us asleep and one in a fever.
I have only a dim recollection of what happened during the next week or so.

I was during that time the most comfortable boy in all Stonebridge House.
