They drew up when, at length, he bore down upon them with a rush of expletives by way of sympathy: for he was good-hearted and a ready man of his tongue, if not a brilliant unit of his profession. His rapid examination of Lenox ended in praise of Desmond's amateur bit of surgery, and a confirmation of his verdict concussion of the brain.
The tremendous concussion caused by the fall of the cross into the hole prepared for it drove the sharp points of the crown of thorns, which was still upon the head of our dear Saviour, still deeper into his sacred flesh, and blood ran down again in streams, both from it and from his hands and feet.
"It cannot be," he cried, "it cannot be. It cannot end like that!" "What was that?" He stopped, stricken rigid. The trembling of the windows had begun again, and then had come a thud a vast concussion that shook the house. The concussion seemed to last for an age. It must have been very near.
