1 Poor Justine was very ill; but other trials were reserved for her.
2 Elizabeth had caught the scarlet fever; her illness was severe, and she was in the greatest danger.
3 In doing this, I underwent a kind of rough usage, ill befitting the wounds that my mind had sustained.
4 During her illness many arguments had been urged to persuade my mother to refrain from attending upon her.
5 She arrived in safety at a town about twenty leagues from the cottage of De Lacey, when her attendant fell dangerously ill.
6 You have been ill, very ill, and even the constant letters of dear kind Henry are not sufficient to reassure me on your account.
7 He is now much recovered from his illness and is continually on the deck, apparently watching for the sledge that preceded his own.
8 But I was in reality very ill, and surely nothing but the unbounded and unremitting attentions of my friend could have restored me to life.
9 My father's care and attentions were indefatigable, but he did not know the origin of my sufferings and sought erroneous methods to remedy the incurable ill.
10 He then related that, the morning on which the murder of poor William had been discovered, Justine had been taken ill, and confined to her bed for several days.
11 When my dearest aunt died every one was too much occupied in their own grief to notice poor Justine, who had attended her during her illness with the most anxious affection.
12 We were in the most imminent peril, but as we could only remain passive, my chief attention was occupied by my unfortunate guest whose illness increased in such a degree that he was entirely confined to his bed.
13 She nursed Madame Frankenstein, my aunt, in her last illness, with the greatest affection and care and afterwards attended her own mother during a tedious illness, in a manner that excited the admiration of all who knew her, after which she again lived in my uncle's house, where she was beloved by all the family.
14 I suppose some astonishment was exhibited in my countenance, for Mr. Kirwin hastened to say, "Immediately upon your being taken ill, all the papers that were on your person were brought me, and I examined them that I might discover some trace by which I could send to your relations an account of your misfortune and illness."

16 My father had often, during my imprisonment, heard me make the same assertion; when I thus accused myself, he sometimes seemed to desire an explanation, and at others he appeared to consider it as the offspring of delirium, and that, during my illness, some idea of this kind had presented itself to my imagination, the remembrance of which I preserved in my convalescence.
