Best Answer

It is coming on slowly from the time he leaves Pencey, but comes on with a rush about the time he is crossing the streets and is afraid he is not going to make it to the other side at each corner he crosses. Then, when watching Phoebe on the merry-go-round later, he begins to cry. He is not better, but the "fever has broken", at that point.
