This did Sir Gawain tell them there, even as ye have heard aforetime. If his heart were heavy when he took count of this, 'twas small marvel! Then did they wash Sir Gawain's limbs, and he himself searched his wounds. So good a leech might no man find since the day of Mother Eve as was Sir Gawain; whatever wound he tended, 'twas healed even as ye looked upon it!
In obedience to the command of the grave high-priest, Pentaur related the whole occurrence how, as there was no leech in the house, he had gone with the old wife of the paraschites to visit her possessed husband; how, to save the unhappy girl from ill-usage by the mob, he had raised his hand in fight, and dealt indeed some heavy blows.
"You tried to kiss me." I glanced round. The coachman had begun to undress again, and it was very dark. "That was a long time ago," I said wistfully. "Once bitten, twice shy," she said. As I kissed her, the light went up in the hall. "Put not your faith in proverbs," said I. Dr. Fletcher opened the door. "Hullo," said the worthy leech. "Bring forth your dead," said I. He laughed heartily.
"How is this?" he said to himself. "Where am I? Do I sleep or wake? I remember coming this evening to my lady's chamber; and now it seems I am in a chest. What means it? Can the leech have returned, or somewhat else have happened that caused the lady, while I slept, to hide me here? That was it, I suppose. Without a doubt it must have been so."
She flew into the next room, quite collected; fetched her handkerchief, snatched off the silken girdle that bound her waist, rushed back and helped the leech to tie the maniac's hands.
"Let him blood! good madame," exclaimed Master Lambert. "In his state, to take away his blood would be to kill him outright!" "False fool and pretender," cried Lady Whitburn; "as if all did not ken that the first duty of a leech is to take away the infected humours of the blood! Demented as I was to send for you.
"Pentaur came in with Nebsecht," he exclaimed, "and they are intimate friends. Where was the leech while I was staying in Thebes?" "He was taking care of the child hurt by Bent-Anat the child of the paraschites Pinem, and he stayed there three days," replied Gagabu. "And it was Pinem," said Ameni, "that opened the body of Rui! Now I know who has dimmed Pentaur's faith.
What ferocious aunt had leaned out of the sky to make him atone for what? About Kitty he felt a great hopelessness. She was too expensive that was the irremediable difficulty. Suddenly he hated her. He wanted to throw her down and kick at her to tell her she was a cheat and a leech that she was dirty. Moreover, she must give him his boy. He rose and began pacing up and down the room.
The parish swarmed with vocal celebrities, and he would be one of them. He made his first visit to the class, and got there early. Came in two young ladies in hoops, with pork-pie hats and hair done up in bags of chenille. The like figures may be seen in the drawings of John Leech, circa 1860. Each young lady had a curved nose.
It was but of late that the leech had granted him to go out of doors, and his first walk was to our house to show me his sorrow for my grief, and to thank my cousin for many pleasant trifles which she had sent to him and the Junker during their sickness, to refresh them.
