She has sprained her ankle very badly, and is shivering terribly; she was lying out all night in the wet wood. He did not answer at once. He walked once or twice up and down the room, and then he said, taking Alice's hand in his, 'Will you be a friend to me, Miss Barton? He could get no further, for tears were rolling down his cheeks.
Looking to one side, she beheld in the shadow of a mass of scrub-oaks the body of a horse lying stark and still. Close beside the head was a dark spot in the snow. A moment later she had dismounted and was standing within the rickety hut, looking down upon another shadowy form that moved and spoke. "Are you hurt?" she asked. "Not much. I believe I have sprained my ankle.
His movement was followed by a low sob of pain. Jeanne was swaying as though about to faint. She fell in a crumpled heap before he could reach her side. "You are hurt!" he exclaimed. "Jeanne! Jeanne!" He was upon his knees beside her, crying out her name, half holding her in his arms. "No, no! I am not hurt much," she replied, trying to recover herself. "It is my ankle. I sprained it on the cliff.
It turned sideways with his weight, slowly at first, and fell with a clatter on the drip-stones, when his feet were already touching the ground. He was dizzy, the tumble had bruised his shins, and he had sprained his hands a little, but he was otherwise unhurt, and the blood on his wristbands and collar was from the scratch on Ortensia's arm.
Unfortunately, the streets and environments of Torbali are in a most wretched condition; to escape sprained ankles it is necessary to walk with a great deal of caution, and the idea of bicycling through them is simply absurd. Nevertheless the populace turns out in high glee, and their expectations run riot as I relieve the kahvay-jee of his faithful vigil and bring forth my wheel.
"Yes, captain; I have been practising surgery in this place for twenty years, and in a very poor way, for I had nothing to do, except a few cases of bleeding, of cupping, and occasionally some slight excoriation to dress or a sprained ankle to put to rights. I did not earn even the poorest living. "But how so?" "In this way, captain.
"You, old! Who's been telling you that?" "Nobody, 'cepting this infernal rheumatism. But I ain't quite as badly crippled up this morning as the preacher is, at that." "Do you mean to say that the minister has the rheumatism?" "No, he ain't got nothing as tame or ordinary as that. He started with a sprained j'int from the cruise, but he's going to have something far worse, if I don't miss my guess.
He paused and gazed at Hardy with eyes which suggested a world of advice and warning then, leaving it all unsaid, he turned wearily away. "I look to find you with a sprained wrist," he drawled, "when I come back throwin' flapjacks for them sheepmen!"
"What's he done?" "Broken his ankle, or, at any rate, seriously sprained it." Pete's rejoinder to this was a long whistle of dismay. He said nothing, however, but once more applied the glasses to his eyes. Jack saw him gnaw his moustache, as he gazed out over the desert. The dust-cloud was quite close now not more than a mile away.
Why not mention these almost divinely childish sayings of kindness? Puerile they may be; but these sublime puerilities were peculiar to Saint Francis d'Assisi and of Marcus Aurelius. One day he sprained his ankle in his effort to avoid stepping on an ant. Thus lived this just man. Sometimes he fell asleep in his garden, and then there was nothing more venerable possible.
