There was no one to hear; Mrs. Kemp continued to sleep heavily, occasionally breaking out into a little snore. Liza remained there, now shivering with cold, now panting for breath, listening to the regular, heavy breathing by her side, and in her pain she sobbed. THERE WAS NO ONE TO HEAR MISSUS KEMP CONTINUED TO SLEEP HEAVILY OCCASIONALLY BREAKING OUT INTO A LITTLE STORM ELIZA REMAINED THERE NOW SHIVERING WITH COLD NOW PANTING FOR BREATH LISTENING TO THE REGULAR HEAVY BREATHING BY HER SIDE AND IN HER PAIN SHE SOBBED
o go to sleep. But she could not; her head and hands were broiling hot, and she was terribly thirsty; when she lifted herself up to get a drink of water such a pang went through her head that she fell back on the bed groaning, and lay there with beating heart. And strange pains that she did not know went through her. Then a cold shiver seemed to rise in the very marrow of her bones and run down every artery and vein, freezing the blood; her skin puckered up, and drawing up her legs she lay huddled together in a heap, the shawl wrapped tightly round her, and her teeth chattering. Shivering, she whispered: 'Oh, I'm so cold, so cold. Mother, give me some clothes; I shall die of the cold. Oh, I'm freezing!' But after awhile the cold seemed to give way, and a sudden heat seized her, flushing her face, making her break out into perspiration, so that she threw everything off and loosened the things about her neck. 'Give us a drink,' she said. 'Oh, I'd give anythin' for a little drop of water! ER THE END OF THE BED AND TRIED TO GO TO SLEEP BUT SHE COULD NOT HER HEAD AND HANDS WERE BOILING HOT AND SHE WAS TERRIBLY THIRSTY WHEN SHE LIFTED HERSELF UP TO GET A DRINK OF WATER SUCH A PANG WENT THROUGH HER HEAD THAT SHE FELL BACK ON THE BED GROANING AND LAY THERE WITH A BEATING HEART AND STRANGE PAINS THAT SHE DID NOT KNOW WENT THROUGH HER THEN A COLD SHIVER SEEMED TO RISE IN THE VERY MARROW OF HER BONES AND RUN DOWN EVERY ARCHERY AND VEIN FREEZING THE BLOOD HER SKIN PUCKERED UP AND DRAWING UP HER LEGS SHE LAY HUDDLED TOGETHER IN A HEAP THE SHAWL WRAPPED TIGHTLY ROUND HER AND HER TEETH CHATTERING SHIVERING SHE WHISPERED OH I AM SO COLD SO COLD MOTHER GIVE ME SOME CLOTHES I SHALL DIE OF THE COLD OH I'M FREEZING BUT AFTER A WHILE THE COLD SEEMED TO GIVE WAY AND A SUDDEN HEAT SEIZED HER BLUSHING HER FACE MAKING HER BREAK OUT INTO PERSPIRATION SO THAT SHE THREW EVERYTHING OFF AND LOOSENED THE THINGS ABOUT HER NECK GIVE US A DRINK SHE SAID OR I'D GIVE ANYTHING FOR A LITTLE DROP OF WATER
