Jerry's shouted command brought him galloping across the field with a pail of water, and the two boys made good speed on the way back. They found the man still unconscious but beginning to writhe about in pain. "I think his leg's broken," cried Tod, his face white with the strain of helpless waiting. "From the way he doubles up every little bit I think he must be hurt inside.
Hurray for her father and mother: there they are, with old squire an' the major's mother. And there's Mr. Clive, all alone by himself 'cos his leg's stiff wi' rheumatics; but he would come to see the deed done, which I may be wrong, but the new King George'll make him a live lord afore he's much older.
The chief's leg's pretty nearly right again, and he was saying at mess only yesterday that it was a most unnatural state of affairs for British officers to be forced by a set of low-bred Dutch Boers, no better than farm-labourers, to eat their beef without either mustard, horse-radish, or salt." "Horrible state of destitution," I said quietly. "None of your sneers, Farmer Val," he cried.
She swayed as she tried to mount, but he did not offer his hand. When she was in the saddle he strode on ahead. Blackie looked after them wistfully. "The leg's not broken," King told her gruffly. "Just a bad sprain. Not your fault it isn't worse, though. He'll take care of himself; God knows he's got as good a chance as we have." "What do you mean?" she asked quickly.
I've about shot my bolt.... Reckon you'll do best by bringin' up blankets water salt firewood. Laddy's got one chance in a hundred. Fix him up first. Use hot salt water. If my leg's broke set it best you can. That hole in Yaqui only 'll bother him a day. Thorne's bad hurt... Now rustle Dick, old boy."
He struggled up, and tried to stand; but whilst he was saying it was nothing, and scolding the other fellows for not going on, he fell down again fainting from pain. "The leg's broken, depend upon it," said Bustard-Plaster; "shall I run for my father?" I thanked him earnestly, for I did not like to leave Rupert myself.
You've sent for him, it may be; ye ken work ye can gie him that he'll be able tae do. A' richt that's splendid, and it's what maun be done. But never let him know you're thinking at a' that his leg's gone. Mak' him feel like ithers. We maun no' be reminding the laddies a' the time that they're different noo frae ither folk. That's the hard thing. Gi'en a man's had sic a misfortune.
Another appeared, going at a furious gallop, and George stood watching while the four figures grew smaller upon the prairie. Turning at a shout he saw Flett and Edgar walking toward him, and he went with them to the fallen horse. A man lay, gray in face, among the grass, held down by the body of the animal which partly rested upon him. "Get me out," he begged hoarsely. "Leg's broke."
There'll be trouble out at the Downs some of these days, if she doesn't clear him out or he gives over drinking. Don't you serve him any more, do you hear, Jim? Hand him over to Brennan if he comes in again," he added to his barman. "Well, what's the news?" Dudgeon exclaimed as he got out of his buggy and limped over to Soden. "The leg's not all right yet, I see?" Soden said.
Then he trotted up to his two deities and thrust his muzzle playfully into the Mistress's palm, as he fell into step with the promenaders. He walked with a stiffness in one foreleg. His gait was not a limp. But the leg's strength could no longer be relied on for a ten-mile gallop. Along his forehead was a new-healed bullet-crease.
