Her eyes smarted and burned , and ached with a dull throbbing pain . She turned over and went to sleep then , and slept so heavily that she did not hear the noises of the awakening household . Once Mrs. Sherman came to the door and peeped in , but , finding her asleep , tiptoed out again . It was nearly noon when she awoke , feeling as tired as when she went to bed . She dressed languidly and went down-stairs , but was so unlike her usually sunny self , that Mrs. Sherman watched her anxiously . Late in the afternoon she sent for Doctor Fuller , and a general wail went up when he announced what was the matter with her . `` More measles , Mrs. Sherman , '' he said , cheerfully .
