Art Thou about to take me into Thy rest, my dear Lord God? February 186-. The doctor is quite jovial. It seems that I am doing him a great deal of credit by being able to get out of bed. If I must believe him, innumerable disorders must have pounced down upon my poor old body all at the same time. These disorders, which are the terror of ordinary mankind, have names which are the terror of philologists.英文原著 · 《The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard》
