Then Ulick had leisure to be conducted to the morning-room, and be rendered a less ghastly spectacle, by some very uncomfortable sticking-plaster moustaches, which hardly permitted him to narrate his battle distinctly.
"Try a bit of the bear," said Fred to Tom Singleton; "it's better than the walrus to my taste." "I'd rather not," answered Tom, with a dubious shake of the head. "It's a most unconscionable thing to eat a beast o' that sort," remarked Saunders gravely. "Especially one who has been in the habit of living on raisins and sticking-plaster," said Bolton with a grin.
One still had a patch of sticking-plaster across his cheek which Kiddie himself had put there over an arrow wound. When they were gone outside he turned to Nick. "Any partic'lar reason why you and your convivial guests should hide your countenances behind masks?" he inquired in a casual tone, glancing about with curious calculation.
Absorbent or surgical cotton makes a good dressing, because it both sucks up any fluids which might leak out of the wound, and forms a mesh-filter through which no germs can penetrate. It is not advisable to use sticking-plaster for any but the most trivial wounds, and seldom even for these, for several reasons.
It's rather a large pull on my roll of sticking-plaster and a few bandages rival clans or houses do you bite your thumb at me, sir? eh Montagus and Capulets. Consequence of men carrying lethal weapons only krises instead of rapiers. Bad thing to let men carry arms." "What about soldiers, then, sir?" said Archie merrily. "Bayonets, side-arms?" "Ah, but there we have a discipline, my dear boy.
But what shocked me more than any signs of physical weakness was that his face was grotesquely criss-crossed with sticking-plaster, and that one large pad of it was fastened over his mouth. "'Have you the slate, Harold? cried the older man, as this strange being fell rather than sat down into a chair. 'Are his hands loose? Now, then, give him the pencil. You are to ask the questions, Mr.
"You don't want to know about that place on the top of your head, just above your forehead, where you are so fond of parting your hair?" "Yes, I do. I say, does it look so very bad?" "Shocking. He has crossed the strips of sticking-plaster over and over, and across and across, till it looks just like a white star." "Oh dear," he groaned, "how horrid!
He might have been somewhat reassured if he had known that Don Alberto himself was also under arrest in his bedroom, by the Cardinal's orders; and he might have felt some satisfaction if he could have seen his enemy's injured nose, swollen to an unnatural size and covered with sticking-plaster, and if he could have also realised that it still hurt quite dreadfully; but, on the other hand, these latter palliative circumstances were likely to make the real trouble even worse, since that same nose was not to be classed with common noses, but as a nasus nepotis Pontificis, that is, nepotic, belonging to a Pope's nephew, and therefore quasi-pontifical, and not to be pulled, struck, or otherwise maltreated with impunity.
"Then why is your arm in a sling?" "Oh, that, sir? That's a bit of the doctor's nonsense. He said I was to keep it on, so I suppose I must. But it isn't a wound." "What is it, then?" said Denham sharply. "Bullet cut my finger; that's all." "Did it cut it much?" asked Denham. "Took a little bit off, and I went to the doctor for a piece o' sticking-plaster, and he as good as called me a fool."
I called at old Speck's house and apologized for my clumsiness, with the most admirable coolness; I appeared at court, and stated calmly that I did not intend to dance any more; and when Klingenspohr grinned, I told that young gentleman such a piece of my mind as led to his wearing a large sticking-plaster patch on his nose: which was split as neatly down the middle as you would split an orange at dessert.
