Indeed James afterward regarded it as having been perhaps no small-pox at all, but only varioloid, and by October he described himself as being in better health than ever before. During several weeks of convalescence that followed his distressing experience in quarantine he was, however, quite naturally, "blue and despondent." [32] This house has since been enlarged and converted into the Colonial Club. [33] John A. Allen, another of the Brazilian party. [34] Miss Dixwell became Mrs. O. W. Holmes; the other two, Mrs. E. W.
