Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Letters of Laurence Sterne to His Most Intimate Friends, Vol. 2 It happen'd in the night, and I bled the bed full, and finding in the morning I was likely to bleed to death, I sent immediately for a surgeon to bleed me at both arms - this saved me, and with lying speechless three days, I recovered upon my back in bed; the breach healed, and in a week after I got out - This with my weakness and hurrying about made me think it high time to haste to Toulouse. - We have had four months of such heats that the oldest Frenchman never remembers the like - 'twas as hot as Nebuchadnezzar's oven and never has relaxed one hour - in the height of this, 'twas our destiny (or rather destruction) to set out by way of Lyons, Montpellier, &c. to shorten, I trow, our sufferings - Good God! - but 'tis over - and here I am in my own house, quite settled by M[ackarty]'s aid, and good-natured offices, for which I owe him more than I can express or know how to pay at present.
