"Ah, that settles the matter; I won't give our amateur sawbones a chance of lopping it off, as I daresay he'd like!" said poor Mr Stokes, with a feeble attempt at a joke. "Yes, I'd better go to my cabin, for I see I'm not wanted here; and, to tell the truth, I've an aching all over me, and feel rather tired and faint."
Weller, returned Arabella, 'go on. Make haste, pray. 'Well, miss, said Sam, 'he's heerd all about it from him; and it's the gov'nor's opinion that if you don't see him wery quick, the sawbones as we've been a-speakin' on, 'ull get as much extra lead in his head as'll rayther damage the dewelopment o' the orgins if they ever put it in spirits artervards.
"It is of no use to one to forget; don't be soft." "Let us reason together, Sawbones." The Doctor agreed, and Osgood began his story with, "Poor Peter," and finished it with asking, "Do you think I love her?" "I'll bet a guinea," said the Doctor, "that she is married." "She isn't," replied Osgood, indignantly. "I am sure that she is engaged, as you call it, to somebody besides yourself."
"Well, he's got an ugly hole in him, and it's hard hunting the sawbones will have to find the lead." "I hope that, he will live," repeated Fred. "I did not seek his life, and I should be sorry to think that an act of mine sent him from the world with all his sins unrepented of." "Never you mind about that," replied Ben.
He was always light of foot, but this time he seemed to have no tread at all. "Still here," was his comforting assurance. "Both?" I whispered back. "Both." "Any one else?" "No. A boy drove away the buggy and has not come back. Sawbones keeps no girl." "Is the child quiet? Has there been no alarm?" "Not a breath." "No cops in the neighborhood? No spies around?" "Not one. We've got it all this time.
"Fire away with your yarn." "Bedad, then, here goes," began O'Neil with a grin. "Ye must know, colonel, if you will have it, that I was only a `sucking sawbones, so to spake, at the toime. Faith, I was a medical studint in my first year, having barely mastered the bones." "The bones!" interrupted the skipper. "What the deuce do you mean, man?"
I want this one." By Timmy's sixth birthday, only his parents' adamant attitude had saved him from becoming a side show. Once the initial household uproar had died down and some degree of general sanity been restored, Helen and Jerry had another bad fright. They had grudgingly allowed Clancey, the family sawbones, to call in a psychologist friend, Philip Warwick.
The people who had turned out were the girl's own family; and pretty soon, the doctor, for whom she had been sent, put in his appearance. Well, the child was not much the worse, more frightened, according to the Sawbones; and there you might have supposed would be an end to it. But there was one curious circumstance. I had taken a loathing to my gentleman at first sight.
So had the child's family, which was only natural. But the doctor's case was what struck me. He was the usual cut and dry apothecary, of no particular age and colour, with a strong Edinburgh accent and about as emotional as a bagpipe. Well, sir, he was like the rest of us; every time he looked at my prisoner, I saw that Sawbones turn sick and white with desire to kill him.
"May the saints presarve yer honner," exclaimed Macan with effusion as he was thus dismissed, but he was still not satisfied apparently at his word being doubted; for, as he passed us, working his way forward by a series of short tacks, he kept on muttering half aloud, much to our amusement, "It's all through that blissid Scotch sawbones wid his long `dog nose' as he calls it, sayin' it wor whisky.
