I sat at the foot of the bed and read to myself while I waited for it to be time to give another capsule. It would have been natural for him to go to sleep, but when I looked up he was looking at the foot of the bed, looking very strangely.

　　"Why don't you try to sleep? I'll wake you up for the medicine."

　　"I'd rather stay awake."

　　After a while he said to me, "You don't have to stay in here with me, Papa, if it bothers you."

　　"It doesn't bother me."

　　"No, I mean you don't have to stay if it's going to bother you."

　　I thought perhaps he was a little lightheaded and after giving him the prescribed capsules at eleven o'clock I went out with my gun and the young hunting dog….I killed two quail(鹌鹑), and missed five, and started back pleased to have found a covey of quail close to the house and happy there were so many left to find on another day.

　　At the house they said the boy had refused to let anyone come into the room.

　　"You can't come in," he said. "You mustn't get what I have."

　　I went up to him and found him in exactly the position I had left him, white-faced, but with the tops of his cheeks flushed（发红）by the fever, staring still, as he had stared, at the foot of the bed.

　　I took his temperature.

　　"What is it?"

　　"Something like a hundred," I said. It was one hundred and two and four tenths.
