The quidine couldn't withstand active magic, it seemed; he could only hope the rest of his meds would. So far they were, and he'd had two months' practice working in spite of pain; he could keep going. He couldn't do it for long, though. He felt all right thanks to the meds, but he knew his stamina was only a fraction of what it should be; a few more exchanges, and he'd lose by simple attrition.
Silently the young husband entered and, pausing, regarded his wife with mingled pain and pleasure pain to see her so spiritless, pleasure to see her so fair.
The valley was refulgent with early summer, the wheat was swelling greenly, the meadows, threaded by shining streams were sown with flowers, grazed by herds of cattle with hides like satin, the pellucid air was filled with indefinite birdsong. The buggy lurched over a hillock of grass, his wife shuddered in his arms, and an unaccustomed, vicarious pain contracted his heart.

They were all pale and very much frightened. All at once Rob began to tremble, his hands and legs shaking uncontrollably. The nervous strain having now relaxed, the full shock of terror and pain set in, as often is seen in the cases of grown men similarly situated.
"The officer in No. 22 says he's in great pain," I said doubtfully. "I know," she said quite decently, "but I can't do anything. He must stick it out." I looked through the ward door once or twice during the evening, and still his knees, at the far end of the room, were moving up and down.
