But there was another apparition which sickened all the flesh and bloodin my nature. It has haunted me during the past night, like Banquo'sghost. I have lain awake for hours, struggling for some graphic andtruthful similes or new elements of description, by which I might conveyto the distant reader some tangible image of this object. A dropsicalaffection among the young and old is very common to all the sufferers byfamine. I had seen men at work on the public roads with their limbsswollen almos...t to twice their usual size. But when the woman of thiscabin lifted from the straw, from behind the dying man, a boy abouttwelve years of age, and held him up before us upon his feet, the mosthorrifying spectacle met our eyes. The cold, watery-faced child wasentirely naked in front, from his neck down to his feet. His body wasswollen to nearly three times its usual size, and had burst the raggedgarment that covered him, and now dangled in shreds behind him. Thewoman of the other family, who was sitting at her end of the hovel, brought forward her little infant, a thin-faced baby of two years, withclear, sharp eyes that did not wink, but stared stock still at vacancy, as if a glimpse of another existence had eclipsed its vision.
