In the court she did not turn a hair, though Biddy stood ready with a battery of traditional restoratives in case she faltered. Jocelyn had a very thin time of it.
They carried her away to her own quarters. There they applied the customary restoratives and she revived. But the blow had struck heavily, and though sense and feeling returned, yet she seemed like one in a dream. Meanwhile the messenger had recovered strength and told all that he knew. "Pollio was with you, was he?" asked Marcellus. "No, he was alone." "On what errand?" "Finding out the news.
Amine had not taken her seat in the cathedral more than a few seconds, when, overpowered by her feelings and by fatigue she fell back in a swoon. Did no one step forward to assist her? to raise her up, and offer her restoratives? No not one.
We could dimly see the land; but the lifeboat crew knew well where they were going; and they now did what they could to relieve the sufferings of the shipwrecked seamen by handing them the flasks of restoratives, with which they had come provided. Had I gone out with papa's leave, I should have been delighted to see the gallant deed I had witnessed.
"I shouldn't have thought it," rejoined the surgeon, taking the restoratives that were handed to him by the nurse, and turning from the son to the father with an air of relief which he was at no pains to conceal. "Yes," he added, after a minute or two; "your father will come out of it this time." "When can he be moved away from here?" "He can be moved from the hospital in an hour or two."
So prolonged and death-like was the swoon, and so futile the usual methods of restoration, that the prisoner was carried into the small ante-room, and laid upon a wooden bench; where a physician, who chanced to be in the audience, was summoned to attend her. Finding restoratives ineffectual, he took out his lancet: "This is no ordinary fainting fit."
Children who have suffered from whooping-cough are often sent out with the hop-pickers; they play about on the bare ground in the most careless manner, and yet recover. Air and hops are wonderful restoratives. After passing an afternoon with the drier in the kiln, seated close to a great heap of hops and inhaling the odour, I was in a condition of agreeable excitement all the evening.
I fainted again, and I know not how long I lay insensible. Again, however, I came to my senses: the pothukoor applied restoratives, and after a slumber of some hours I awoke, much refreshed.
"No not dead" grumbled the corporal. "But there is a lump on his brow the size of an egg, and God knows how long he has been lying here in this bed of mud." They had no restoratives, and the only thing was to convey him to the nearest habitation and demand shelter. They held a short council on the matter, and in the end Garin bade four of them take him up and carry him in a cloak.
Wrench went off to polish silver, Lady Wetherby to resume her letters. The cat was the last of the party to return to the normal. She came down from the chimney an hour later covered with soot, demanding restoratives. Lady Wetherby finished her letters. She cut them short, for Eustace's insurgence had interfered with her flow of ideas.
