"if he was no worse by night he might pull through." at noon he was seized with a sudden sinking spell. oxygen was applied by his wife and a nurse, and the doctor sent for. by one-thirty he was lower still, very low. "his face was blue, his lips ashen," his wife told me. "we put the oxygen tube to his mouth and i said 'can you speak, peter? ' i was so nervous and frightened. he moved his head a little to indicate 'no.' 'peter,' i said, 'you mustn't let go! you must fight! think of me! think of the babies!
