Twice she had met him here, and on each occasion he was waiting for her when she arrived.
"What is this, fishing-line?" "That's it, sir," said Dumlow. "It's right enough, there arn't no knobs on it, and it stopped the bleeding fine." "Difficult work here, Dale," Mr Frewen whispered to me. "One need have well-educated fingers what surgeons call the tactus eruditus to work like this in the dark." "Terrible," I replied, and I noticed how his voice trembled.
Two surgeons, who arrived with the litter, relieved the anxiety of the bystanders by an assurance that the wounds, which they re-examined, were not dangerous. Having laid their patient on the vehicle, they were preparing to retire with it into the rear, when Thaddeus petitioned the prince to grant him permission to take the command of the guard which was appointed to attend his grandfather.
