His opening report immediately on his arrival, of "rather a good accident" just brought into the casualty ward only, it was true, a man fallen out of a four-pair-of-stairs window; but a very fair case, very fair case indeed! was of itself a dexterous forefinger between the small ribs to begin with. Would the patient recover?
Despite the superiority of the enemy in men and equipment, I was able to defeat and rout them. Their casualties were twenty killed and a far greater number of wounded, judging from the trails of blood they left behind them as they retreated. I am pleased to state there was no casualty on our side. I have the honor to congratulate Your Excellency upon this new triumph for the Federal arms.
And Ammonius said, that Aristotle had given a reason for that already; for the sound of those within, being carried without into a large tract of air, grows weaker presently and is lost; but that which comes in from without is not subject to the like casualty, but is kept close, and is therefore more easy to be heard.

The story Trigger babbled into the hopper's communicator a minute later was that Drura Lod had succumbed to an attack of Dykart fever coma and that an ambulance and a fast flit to a hospital in the nearest city were indicated. The preserve hotel was startled but reassuring.

'We had the Imperial Horse with us, he said. 'They're the best I've ever seen. The casualty lists tell the same tale. To storm the hill the regiment dismounted less than two hundred men.
Skirmishing was kept up with this our new enemy during the night, but without any great casualty happening. On the following morning, however, we advanced in a body to attack a battery that had been constructed near the city, chiefly out of barrels of brown sugar.
"I've been relating such heroic things about you that she simply refused to go home without ocular proof of your existence." Mrs. Forbes would have risen, but was restrained by the girl's emphatic cry: "Mother, why won't you behave like an obedient invalid?" Thus coerced, "Mother" did behave. "They insist on treating me as a casualty," she cried cheerfully. "What is your sister's name, Mr.
Aside of the paragraph, copied above, was a pen-and-ink sketch of the casualty, most cruelly executed; the poor fellow's legs being represented half way in the process of deglutition; his arms firmly grasping the monster's teeth, as if heroically bent upon making as tough a morsel of himself as possible.
