I brought my table as close toMatthew's pillow as was possible, and he stroked my hand with tendernessin which there was a touch of gratitude.
'You are not frightened of the bacteria!' he laughed sadly; and then hetold me, with huge amusement, how a friend (and a true, dear friend forall that) had come to see him a day or two before, and had hung over theend of the bed to say farewell, daring to approach no nearer, moppinghis fear-perspiring brows with a handkerchief soaked in 'Eucalyptus'!
'He... had brought an anticipatory elegy too, ' said my friend, 'writtenagainst my burial. I wish you'd read it for me, ' and he fidgeted for itin the nervous manner of the dying. Finding it among his pillows, hehanded it to me saying, 'You needn't be frightened of it. It is welldosed with Eucalyptus. ' We laughed even more over this poem than over our stories, and then wediscussed the terms of three cremation societies to which, at theexpress request of my friend, I had written a day or two before.
Then having smoked a cigar and drunk a glass of port together (for theassured dying are allowed to 'live well'), Matthew grew sleepy, and, tucking him beneath the counterpane, I left him, for, after all, he wasnot to die that day.
