With one strip he bound the ugly wound that gaped in the Indian's forehead; with the other he resumed his attentions by moistening his lips and temples.
No word escaped her lips, not a tear was in her eye; but she looked as if all her youth had gone in a moment, and as if she had suddenly become an old and worn-out woman.

He was only furious, sick at heart, utterly miserable... He must have sat for an hour on the side of his bed, huddled in his dressing-gown, shivering and moistening his dry lips.
