A Day’s Wait

By Ernest Hemingway

It was a bright, cold day, the ground covered with a sleet that had frozen so that it seemed as if all the bare trees, the bushes, the cut brush and all the grass and the bare ground had been varnished with ice. I took the young Irish setter for a little walk up the road and along a frozen creek.

At the house they said the boy had refused to let anyone come into the room.

“You can’t come in,” he said. “You mustn’t get what I have.” I went up to him and found him in exactly the position I had left him, white-faced, with his cheeks flushed by the fever, staring still at the foot of the bed.

I took his temperature.

“What is it?”

“Something like a hundred,”* I said. It was one hundred and two and four tenth.

“It was a hundred and two,” he said.

“Who said so?”

“The doctor.”

“Your temperature is all right,” I said. “It’s nothing to worry about.”

“I don’t worry,” he said, “but I can’t keep from thinking.”

“Don’t think,” I said. “Just take it easy.”

“I’m taking it easy,” he said and looked worried about something.

“Take this with water.”

“Do you think it will do any good?”

“Of course, it will.”

“About what time do you think I’m going to die?” he asked.

“What?”

“About how long will it before I die?”

“People don’t die with a fever of one hundred and two. That’s a silly way to talk!”

“I know they do. At school in France the boys told me you can’t live with forty-four degrees. I’ve got a hundred and two.”

He had been waiting to die all day, ever since nine o’clock in the morning.

“You poor Shatz,” I said. “Poor Shatz, it’s like miles and kilometers. You aren’t going to die. That’s a different thermometer. On that thermometer thirty-seven is normal. On this kind it’s ninety-eight.”

“Are you sure?”

“Absolutely,” I said. “It’s like miles and kilometers. You know, how many kilometers we make when we do several miles in the car?”

“Oh,’ he said.
