Excerpt from Posterity: Its Verdicts and Its Methods or Democracy A. D. 2100 Such buzzings in my ears Such pressure on my eyes; such pins and needles in my limbs as no words can describe, a blinding glare which seemed to cut into my brain. Then I became conscious of voices, and one, with a foreign accent, said, A little patience and you will feel better. I was lifted into a hot bath, which gave me instant relief, and the choking in my throat relaxed. Next I sipped a basin of hot soup, and was tucked away in cool, soft sheets for a long, long sleep. I aw'oke refreshed, and found by my side a man of middle age and dignified presence, Who, after many inquiries as to my strength and my health, expressed the pleasure it gave him to find me fairly convalescent. I thanked him warmly for the care they had taken of me, and asked him to tell me how long I had slept, and to whom I was indebted for the hospitality I now enjoyed.
