"O, yes, of course," replied Annie, "but our play " "I've been a thinkin'," continued Prudy, "that when I go up to God's house, I shan't wear the splint. I can run all over the house, and he'll be willing I should go up stairs, and down cellar, you know." Prudy sighed. Sometimes she almost longed for "God's house." "Well, let's go on with our play," said Annie, impatiently.
His hand and arm were raised in the form of a splint to support the squire, who glared back over his cheekbone, horrified that he could not escape the contact, and in too great pain from arthritic throes to protest: he resembled a burglar surprised by justice.
Old Dinah saw, going down the path, a tall, brown girl, in a homespun frock, swinging a slat-bonnet in one hand and a splint basket in the other. "Oh, Cicely!" she called. The girl turned and answered in a resonant voice, vibrating with youth and life, "Yes, granny!" "Be sho' and pick a good mess er peas, chile, fer yo' gran'daddy's gwine ter be home ter dinner ter-day."
Over the splint cutter a carrier chain is continuously moving, and into holes in this chain the ends of the match splints are forced at the rate of ten or twelve thousand a minute. The splints remain in the chain for about an hour, and during this hour all sorts of things happen to them. First, they are dipped into hot paraffin wax, because this will light even more easily than wood.
The horse is a showy horse. But look, my dear sir, he has a defect here, and in his near foreleg I observe something which looks very much like a splint! Yes, upon my credit, he has a splint, or something which will end in one! A hundred and fifty pounds, sir! What could have induced you to ask anything like that for this animal? I protest Who are you, sir?
Tim and Andy fashioned a stretcher from staves and coats. "Try it again," said Tim. "Too slow." "Let Bobbie button as soon as the first coat goes on," said Andy. "Let Bobbie keep out of the way," said Tim. Don looked up quickly. However, the work seemed to be going on satisfactorily. He brought his attention back to the splint he was adjusting.
There were two white curtained windows and a straight splint chair at each one, with a queer little knob on the top of the post that suggested a sprite from some of the old legends she had been used to hearing. What enchantment had transported her thither?
A suitably arranged splint adds to the comfort of the patient; and the limb should be placed in the attitude which, in the event of stiffness resulting, will least interfere with its usefulness. The elbow, for example, should be flexed to a little less than a right angle; at the wrist, the hand should be dorsiflexed and the fingers flexed slightly towards the palm.
Later, unless an unusually large exostosis is formed, which may cause a constant irritation due to its size and juxtaposition to the carpus, lameness is discontinued. Symptomatology. Lameness is usually the first manifestation of this disorder, and the thing which characterizes splint lameness is its peculiar intermittence.
Then the light burned up clearly, and Shock held the splint above his head, and we looked round. "There ain't no jacket here," said Shock dolefully. "What did yer say bread and meat for?" he continued, as the match burned out and he threw it down. "It's made me feel so hungry. I could eat a bit o' you." "I can't understand it, Shock," I said.
