Six months earlier he had returned from India, an invalided cornet of light cavalry, with a reputation for military dash and the prospect of a medal. Then he was their heroic brother he was now their guard. They love him tenderly, and admired him when it was necessary; but they had exhausted their own sensations concerning his deeds of arms, and fancied that he had served their purpose.
The Cathcarts of Newlands and their daughter Mary came; and Roger Ormiston too, who, being off duty, had run down from London for a few days' partridge shooting, bringing with him his cousin Colonel St. Quentin invalided home, to his own immense chagrin, in the midst of the Afghan war.
For, as it fell out, I was invalided home at quite an early stage of my public career, and, contrary to all family traditions, disgraced my kin by contracting lung disease at least, so the doctors have declared, though I have experienced very little inconvenience thereby, except that of being condemned to act the invalid for the rest of my life.
Had nothing unusual occurred it probably would have taken him much longer to ascertain the true state of his heart: misfortune has a wonderful power of testing the feelings and revealing their condition. Neither Rawson nor Sims could make him out, they agreed. "What can have come over the poor fellow?" said the latter. "The climate does not agree with him; he should go home invalided."
I have since been informed that Penreath was invalided out of the Army recently, suffering from shell-shock." "In Sir Henry's opinion the shell-shock has aggravated a tendency to the disease." "Has Penreath ever shown any previous signs of epilepsy?" "Not so far as I am aware, but his mother developed the disease in later years, and ultimately died from it.
"He was lying in wait for us with a gang of assassins. I was stabbed on the upper lip. I lost so much blood... had to be invalided... cannot think of horrible episode without shuddering." The men who were employed to watch Ramon's had never seen me leave again, and afterwards a secret tunnel was discovered leading down to the quay.
At the Tannhauser rehearsal which I attended at Weimar the invalided Gotze brought out passages and interpreted intentions in respect of which T. remained my debtor. This latter has nothing but either brilliancy or tenderness in his voice; not a single true accent of sorrow.
"It has given your aunt Georgina and me a terrible shock," said Lady Belstone, faintly. "You can't expect a fellow who has been invalided home to turn up without a single scratch," said Peter, in rather surly tones. "How like his father!" said Miss Crewys. "Besides, you know very well my mother would have tormented herself to death if I had told her," said Peter.
Many soldiers of the legions had been left invalided in the camp, of whom those who had recovered in this space of time, being about 300, are set together under one standard; a large number of soldiers' attendants besides, with a great number of beasts of burden, which had remained in the camp, permission being granted, follow them.
I went to call on him whilst he was laid up, and he immediately begged me to arrange a little dinner party for his amusement while he was invalided. The person he was most anxious to secure as a guest was James Payn, and I promised to do what I could to get Payn to dine. But there were difficulties in the way.
