Breevort House.
Ever since we arrived, Sister has been better, & I miserable. Sun. & Monday I had an outrageous headache & on Tuesday morn. we went to Stewarts to try on dresses. I stood up a long while, & began to feel very queer, & lo. & behold I had a fainting fit. Such an absurd thing for me to do; I felt all the blood leave my face, & Sister who was dreadfully frightened said I turned as green & white as a corpse. For my part I felt most horrid, & decidedly as if I were going to shuffle of this "mortal coil," & couldn't have moved to have saved my life. - They gave me water & some other stuff, & fanned & fussed till I was better. - I always wanted to faint once, just to know how it felt; & it is very nasty; however heroines always faint; but authors never say it
