Now, as the Dryad, curled to a capital S, quivering and hissing advanced for the last time to the charge, it was bound to strike across the edge of the sofa on which I lay, at the erect head of Stoffles, which vanished with a juggling celerity that would have dislocated the collar-bone of any other animal in creation.
Carey was turning faint with pain, and the doctor saw it and stepped forward. "Take hold of his arm," he said to their captor; "the boy has had his collar-bone broken." As he spoke he removed the great coarse hand to the boy's fore-arm, and Carey uttered a sigh of relief. Then, turning to the fierce-looking savage, he said quickly, "Here, you blackie." "Not Blackie; Black Jack."
"I want Delia," gasped the child. Madam Delia was at her side already, having rushed from the door, where a surging host of boys had already swept in gratis. Gerty writhed in pain. Stephen felt her collar-bone and found it bent like a horseshoe; and she fainted before she could be taken from the stage.
"Yes, his collar-bone was broken and he was crushed and terribly bruised. His horse was killed. When I was down, day before yesterday, the doctor said Dick would be all right in time." "How about this boy, the tramp boy they arrested?" "Oh," said Louise, "that was a shame! He stayed and helped the doctor put Dick in the buggy and rode with him to town. Mr.
"I played four years," said Chase quietly, "and was crazy about it. But I got a broken collar-bone one day and my folks were scared and asked me to give it up. So I did." Clint pondered that.

I can see him now, putting up his gold pince-nez and staring at them with perfectly vacant eyes, which told me that he saw neither them nor the wall behind them. 'Amputation of the arm? he asked at last. 'And of the collar-bone and shoulder-blade, said I. 'Quite so. The collar-bone and shoulder-blade, he repeated, still staring about him with those lifeless eyes. It settled him.

I rode off as fast as I could, I thought I saw Jack Ketch at my heels. My horse threw me at a hedge, and I broke my collar-bone. In the confinement that ensued gloomy ideas floated before me. I did not like to be hanged; so I reasoned against my errors, and repented. I recovered slowly, returned to town, and repaired to my cousin the bookseller.
Almost as we entered a window was opened overhead, and a man's voice challenged us. "Whoever you be, I've a gun in my hand here!" he announced. "We are two travellers by the mail coach," Mr. Noy announced; "one a clergyman and the other an officer in the King's service." "You don't tell me the coach is upset?"
