I forget which was the first distemper I plunged into - some fearful, devastating scourge, I know - and, before I had glanced half down the list of "premonitory symptoms," it was borne in
upon me that I had fairly got it.
Could you explain me that sentence a little?
some fearful, devastating scourge, I know" - is that about the distemper or the fact that he started reading and that he will be feeling sorry for it?
and, before I had glanced half down the list of "premonitory symptoms," it was borne in upon me that I had fairly got it." - what bear in upon means here? I know to bear upon means to apply to..
