Now. If Ruburt were in danger of any serious illness, I would know it. And I would warn you, though I am aware of the power of suggestion you see, and would be under such circumstances extremely careful less the warning itself act as a negative suggestion.

Ruburt was sick to his stomach because he had not been able to work properly. He acted this out physically. The enforced rest also gave him time to gain back his psychic resources.
