noon
Trouble on trouble . Dick himself got strangely out of sorts , and complained of shivers . Phoebe sent him to bed early , and made him some white wine whey very hot . In the morning he got up , and said he was better ; but after breakfast he was violently sick , and suffered several returns of nausea before noon . `` One would think I was poisoned , '' said he . At one o'clock he was seized with a kind of spasm in the throat that lasted so long it nearly choked him . Then Phoebe got frightened , and sent to the nearest surgeon .
