But by a coincidence the doctor came, gimlet-eyed. "Hysteria...." he said to Sister in the bunk. "Is no one going to reassure Gayner?" I wondered. And no one did. Isn't the fear of pain next brother to pain itself? Tetanus or the fear of tetanus a choice between two nightmares. Don't they admit that? So, forbidden to speak to him, I finished my splint till tea-time.
He did not hurry; he had all the time there was, and it was a relief to get the bandage off his leg for awhile. You may be sure he was very careful not to move those broken bones a hair's breadth! He rubbed on the vaseline, fearing the liniment would blister and increase his discomfort, and replaced splint and bandage. He was terribly tired afterwards and lay in a half stupor for a long while.
Tongue is all I've got to fight with now; but I'll fight them thieves tell the sea goes dry, I will. Shocky, gim me a splint." "But you wasn't selfish when you tuck me. Shocky stuck to his point most positively. "Yes, I was, you little tow-headed fool! I didn't take you kase I was good, not a bit of it.
On the door sill the next morning was discovered a splint basket. To the handle was tied a scrap of paper on which was awkwardly written: "To the little gals." Molly was the finder of this. "Hurry down all of you!" she called to the others. "There is a present." "Another one?" said Polly over the baluster. "What is it?" "I haven't looked," was the reply.
"That 'ere splint don't signify nothing; he aren't the worse of it," said the English groom. "Of coorse it doesn't," replied Mike. "What a fore-hand, and the legs, clean as a whip!" "There's the best of him, though," interrupted the other, patting the strong hind-quarters with his hand. "There's the stuff to push him along through heavy ground and carry him over timber."
The Archon of Plataea might not touch iron; but once a year, at the annual commemoration of the men who fell at the battle of Plataea, he was allowed to carry a sword wherewith to sacrifice a bull. To this day a Hottentot priest never uses an iron knife, but always a sharp splint of quartz, in sacrificing an animal or circumcising a lad.
"Pity we haven't a few planks," observed Captain Digby-Soames. "We could make one big splint of his whole body and sling him, planks and all, underneath the aeroplane." We've two pairs of putties you can bandage with, and there are puggries on all three topis. Probably his gun's somewhere about, for another leg-splint, too.
Brush but do not peel the peaches. Select medium-sized ones. When all are well brushed, stick each peach quite full of cloves. Make a thick syrup of half a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit. Cook the peaches in the syrup until they may be easily pierced with a broom splint. Then carefully skim them from the syrup and after they have cooled on the platters put them in glass jars or stone crocks.
At first he didn't answer and appeared to be thinking very seriously of a way out, perhaps. "Does fer me all right," he presently said. The defence of his girl occupied his attention, for after a few minutes he returned to it: "Sensible sort of girl. She ain't soft. Can cook an' all that." I went on sewing my splint. Almost reluctantly he pursued: "Got 'er photograph 'ere."
It is cut into thin sheets by machinery which are used for surgeon's splints, hygienic insoles, tree protectors and calendars. As a splint it answers an admirable purpose, being both light and strong and capable of being molded into any shape desired after it has been immersed in hot water. Its pulp, also, makes an excellent paper. Another variety of yucca is the amole, or soap plant.
