The gaps filled up silently. They started up the hill and met the sleet of hissing death. The hill top blazed streams of yellow flame through the pall of smoke. Men were falling not one by one, but in platoons and squads, rolling into heaps of grey blood-soaked flesh and rags. The regiment paused, staggered, reeled and rallied.
"Say," her voice was quarrelsome, "do you think I've nothin' to do but wait at the beck and call of you wops?" The boy, for he was only that, looked surprise and resentment at the epithet, but he was too weak to waste his strength in useless words. She raised his arm bound in its blood-soaked rags roughly and he groaned. "Keep still, you calf!"
Cricket flew to the edge of the beach, dipping water up in the crown of her sailor hat. The little face looked ghastly white, in contrast to the blood-soaked hair about it. Eliza came flying from the house with the Pond's Extract bottle in one hand and a bundle of old linen in the other, articles that were always at hand, ready for use.

The Italian then had to walk twenty miles to find a surgeon, being in great need of his services. When he presented himself to the surgeon his face was heavily bandaged with blood-soaked cloths. He began to fumble in his pockets, and his face betrayed deep anxiety when he failed to find what he sought. "What is the matter?" asked the surgeon, "and what are you seeking?"
In a few minutes he was in the haunted house. He lighted a candle and took off his girl-clothes. There was blood on him all down his left side, and his right hand was red with the stains of the blood-soaked notes which he has crushed in it; but otherwise he was free from this sort of evidence. He cleansed his hand on the straw, and cleaned most of the smut from his face.
Pentavalon calls to thee from out the gloom of dungeon, from the anguish of flame, and rack, and gibbet from blood-soaked hearth and shameful grave she calls thee so, my Beltane, come and let me arm thee."
So we advanced upon the Immortals, all of us, for now the vanguard had joined our strength. In long lines we advanced over that blood-soaked plain, and as we came the Great King loosed his remaining chariots against us. It availed him nothing, since the horses could not face our arrows whereof, thanks be to the gods! I had prepared so ample a store, carried in bundles by lads.
All France was bowed down in shame at the sight of the grotesque convoy, who were proclaiming her destiny among nations, and their destiny to lead her to victory and "la gloire." A scorched, blood-soaked land, a pall of smoke through which brave men bared their breasts to the blast from the Rhine, and died uncomplainingly, willingly, cheerfully, for the mother-land was it not pitiful?
The bullet was partially checked by a thick roll of paper the notes for his speech and by an eye-glasses case. Nevertheless, with the bullet in him, only stopping to change his blood-soaked shirt, he refused to quit. He went and made his speech, standing on the platform and speaking for over an hour.
