Chapter XIV
MARTYRDOM. After this event Lady Kárpáthy was very seriously ill; for a long time her life was even despaired of. Kárpáthy summoned the most famous doctors in the world to attend to her, and they consulted and prescribed for her, but none of them could tell what was the matter. It is a great pity that nobody knows how to prescribe for the heart. For a long time she was delirious, and talked a lot of nonsense, as sick people generally do whose fevered brains are full of phantoms.
