The term "proud flesh" is popularly applied to such redundant granulations.
Slowly and with infinite sadness the flags were lowered from the mastheads and Scott's little "Terra Nova" stood bareheaded at the Gate of the Great Ice Barrier. From the bridge one heard the occasional clatter of plates and cutlery, for the steward was busy removing the table dressings and putting away the things that we had no heart for any longer.

The German student was glad to cover it up again. "I can do nothing," he said. "Perhaps, in a hospital, with baths and dressings ! Relief will be given at all events; but more? I do not know. Here I could not even begin to do anything at all. Do these two men understand English?" "No," answered Calder. "Then I can tell you something.
