Then he broke out in a hoarse shout the sound in that quiet sylvan spot was like a tocsin: "Fire! An awful fire! Hewitt's pine woods up that road!" He waved a wild, bare arm his shirt-sleeve was torn to the shoulder. "Go and git help. They need all the men they can git!" He dropped from the running-board and ran back up the hill through the bushes.
Cover your hands in gauntlets of India-rubber, if you would not utter Lady Macbeth's soliloque over them when they come to the light of day. Defend the nether garments with overalls, such as plain artisans are wont to wear. Button the ancient coat over the candid shirt-front, and hold up the retracted wristbands by elastic bands around the shirt-sleeve above the elbow.
His silk shirt-sleeve was also cut, and then the wound was revealed in the fleshy part of the arm. Taking a probe from his case Doctor Dick, after swallowing a glass of brandy, coolly probed the wound, found the ball, and, aided by Loo Foo, the Chinee, under his direction, soon extracted the bullet.
She conquered this, yet could remain speechless no longer. "Where are you taking me?" she asked suddenly. There was no reply, and she stared toward her silent companion, unable to even perceive his outlines. His silence sent a thrill of anger through her, and she lost control. Her hand gripped the coarse shirt-sleeve in determination to compel him to speak. "Answer me or I'll scream!"
Now this aloofness, this utterly detached attitude, was a pure invention of the shirt-sleeve statesman at home.
She had come back to his side, and she saw him double his arm at the elbow, the biceps crawling under his shirt-sleeve and swelling into a knot of muscle, heavy and hard. The sight repelled her. Sentimentally, she disliked it. But her pulse, her blood, every fibre of her, loved it and yearned for it, and, in the old, inexplicable way, she leaned toward him, not away from him.
Paul scrambled quickly down with his basket, tearing his shirt-sleeve as he did so. "They are lovely," said Miriam, fingering the cherries. "I've torn my sleeve," he answered. She took the three-cornered rip, saying: "I shall have to mend it." It was near the shoulder. She put her fingers through the tear. "How warm!" she said. He laughed.
"Oh, I am so sorry about the whole thing. I think it is perfectly dreadful," I said, "and and I do hope you are not really hurt." He showed me his wrist. His silk shirt-sleeve was wet with blood, and his arm also had streaks on it, and just under the skin were two or three small, black lumps. "I can't tell you how sorry I am," I said, and my voice trembled.
But as Wilson and Jack sprang to his side he again rose. "It's nothing," he declared. "Just a graze inside the arm." The quiet continuing, the others insisted on removing Alex's coat, and feeling, found the shirt-sleeve wet. "Tie a handkerchief round it," Alex directed. "There. That's all right.
Some articles of clothing, however, seem to have special virtue, such as a right shirt-sleeve or a left stocking, though wherefore is not very clear; and in China, about Canton, a fisherman's net is employed with as little apparent reason. In Sweden the babe is wrapped in red cloth, which we may be allowed to conjecture is intended to cozen the fairies by simulating fire.
