FROM SICKNESS TO CO N V A L ESCE N C E To be. sick is to enjoy monarchical prerogatives. Compare the silent tread and quiet ministry, almost by the. eve only, with which he is served—with the careless demeanour, the uncenemOnious goings in and out (slapping of doors, or leaving them open) of the very same attendants when he is getting better and you will confess that from the bed of sickness (throne let. me rather call it) to the elbow-chair of convalescence, fs a fall from dignity amounting to a deposition.—Lamb.
