"I believe that my son has broken his neck," said Mr. Kennedy wrathfully. "Come here and help me to dig him out." In a few minutes Charley was dug out, in a state of insensibility, and carried up to the fort, where he was laid on a bed, and restoratives actively applied for his recovery.

As the steward ascended while talking, by the time he had ended his speech he appeared on the rock with the desired restoratives, exhibiting the worn-out and bloated features of a man who had run deep in a debauch, and that lately. Elizabeth took from the hands of Edwards the liquor which he offered and then motioned to be left again to herself.
In mine own person will I go before my Parliament, and with mine own hand will I seal the warrant that rids me of " His voice failed; an ashen pallor swept the flush from his cheeks; and the attendants eased him back upon his pillows, and hurriedly assisted him with restoratives. Presently he said sorrowfully
On these sheets Mark now sank, almost exhausted. He had made a happy exchange, however, the freshness and sweetness of the new bed, of itself, acting as delicious restoratives.

He knew the importance of not over-exerting himself, but he also knew the importance of cleanliness and of a renovation of his strength.
The usual paralysis following sudden accident was brief on this occasion, for there were two skilful physicians present, one of them having long been the family attendant.
