As she moved into the room she detached her eyes from Arnold's, feeling as she did so that it was like tearing something. "There was so little to do," Sister Margaret said. "Surgeon-Major Wills saw at once where the mischief lay. Nothing disagreeable was necessary, was it, Mr. Arnold? Perfect quiet, perfect rest that's an easy prescription to take."
'Vive la France;" and, with a supreme effort, he rolled off into the Danube. The conduct of a surgeon-major of the guard, some time after, came near compromising the entire corps in his Majesty's opinion.
How can I express what must have been Madame Lichtenstein's horror on reading this production, an incomprehensible collection of all the low expressions that army slang could furnish! The evidence of a third person was necessary to convince her that the signature, M , Surgeon-major of the Imperial French Guard, was not the forgery of some miserable drunkard.
As evening fell a gray shade gathered round Bobby's mouth, and he turned his face to the tent-wall wearily. The Surgeon-Major frowned. "I'm awfully tired," said Bobby, very faintly. "What's the use of bothering me with medicine? I don't want it. Let me alone." The desire for life had departed, and Bobby was content to drift away on the easy tide of Death.
"Knight Legionary of his Majesty's r-r- royal order of the Legion of Honour! Drummer! Fermez le ban!"

I looked round, and saw that the surgeon-major had lighted his pipe, and, with his eyes half closed, was sending up puffs of smoke to the ceiling. My eyes were smarting, and I was choking with indignation, so much so that I was seized with a fit of coughing, which I exaggerated in order to attract the attention of the impolite man.
It was gratifying, and yet it enhanced in Stephen this evening the indrawing of his under-lip, a plaintive twist of expression which spoke upon the faces of quite half the Order, of patience under privation. The atmosphere was one of congratulation, the week's Gazette had transformed Surgeon-Major Livingstone into Surgeon-Lieutenant-Colonel.
I was, as I said before, surgeon-major of the 1st Light Regiment of the line, and on intimate terms with the staff, and more particularly with Captain Novalès, a Creole by birth, possessing a courageous and venturesome disposition. He was suspected of endeavouring to excite his regiment to rebel in behalf of the Independence.
